Epiphone Broadway Hollowbody Electric Guitar, Vintage Natural

Being a proud member of the Gibson Family, you’d expect nothing but the best from Epiphone guitars. Since it first appeared in 1931, the Epiphone Broadway has been much revered by jazz players. Having its origins in the big band era, when guitar amplification was still very new and not widely used, its larger-than-average body was designed to achieve the acoustic projection that augmented its electric sound. Today, the rich resonance of such a design helps to draw out an expanded range of tone, which many modern players love.

Despite its impressive acoustic sound, you will want to plug it in and hear vintage-style electronics in action. This Broadway is loaded with a special pair of Alnico Classic humbuckers, each with its volume and tone knob. This gives you a massive range of fat, warm tone that's perfect for both lead and rhythm work. Epi Stathopoulo himself believed that a guitar should be a work of art that belonged onstage, the Broadway arch-top's spruce-topped maple body adorned with gold hardware and elegant abalone inlays reflect this aesthetic. With gold hardware like the Frequensator split-trapeze tailpiece and Grover tuning machines, as well as traditional pearloid and abalone block and triangle fret markers and matching Tree of Life headstock inlays, this jazz box both looks and sounds the Real Deal.
