Epiphone Broadway Natural 2012

$574.00

Description

Epiphone's top-of-the-line full acoustic model, the "Broadway (ブロードウェイ)," has been called the ultimate jazz guitar with a hollow body for over 70 years, but it is a model that thrives in all modern genres including roots rock.

This time we have in stock a 2012 Broadway in Natural color, weighing 3.3kg.

It can be said to be the Epiphone version of the so-called "Gibson L-5CES," adopting a spruce top with maple sides and back.

The easy-to-grip neck with a slim taper C profile, fingerboard with lavish inlays, and gold-colored Grover pegs that evoke an antique feel, along with other hardware, are truly befitting a top-tier model. The pickups feature two "Alnico Classic" humbuckers, with controls consisting of 2 volumes and 2 tones.

The characteristic feature is the overwhelming sense of airiness that can be felt even in the acoustic sound, with the uniquely designed and tailpiece and bridge structure producing a one-of-a-kind tone.

Despite being manufactured in Korea, this hugely popular model offers vintage-like texture and excellent cost performance, making it an excellent choice for your first full acoustic guitar.
