Description

Bang on Epiphone Olympic Reissue, made in Japan in 1999. Made in very low quantities and seldom seen, even domestically in Japan. I bet you didn't even know they re-issued it in 99 at all. Well, now you do, and coincidentally you can exercise your free will to buy the very instrument about which you've just learned.

It is light, and feels a hell of a lot like the real thing... perhaps even a touch less neck heavy... 

Short Vibrola has been taken off, cast into the ocean, and is not included in the sale. You could restore it I suppose, but we doubt you'll want to. Hard to beat a single wrap bridge!

Knobs have been changed to Telecaster type, couple of finish cracks, plenty of fret life, and quite possibly the happiest colour to ever grace a guitar, Peppermint Green Metallic.

Kind of a hard thing to find, better than the non-American reissues and around a third of the price of the real thing.

Made in Japan, SN 904369, Weight 2.45kg. We found a green Epiphone Gigbag, probably for a G-400 or something, but we'll include it with the guitar.
