I was gonna hang on to this one because it is so beautiful and was one of the first steels I bought. When I recently saw one on Reverb for what seemed like a lot of money I thought I would offer this one at a fair price. Overall condition is good to very good. Finish and decal are beautiful, honest wear around far neck. Binding is intact. Am calling this a 1950 because that's when these "New York" pickups were introduced (so I'm told), Plays and sounds awesome, Electronics working fine. felt on bottom mostly worn off. OHSC in good shape, only missing a little trim, handle matches the knobs on guitar. No legs, was was made for lap or tabletop, keyboard stand works great. Sorry no trades, downsizing. $750 you pay shipping

| Nicest I've seen here Jim. Epi made some gems in that era, unusual that it has remained so pristine. The brown 'pointer' knobs mimic early Ric lap steel feature. If I wasn't tied up with Cateract surgery, I would consider driving to our next state East to get an up close "view"..truly. 👀 |

| One last bump for price drop and another look at this sweet guitar. Rare to see both pickup covers and the tuners are stunning. Thanks again. Jim |
