Up for sale is this 1949 Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe Regent electric archtop guitar, featuring Epiphone’s “Tone Spectrum” pickups(used only 1948-49). This restored 77-year-old archtop plays beautifully, and has a warm, rich, and articulate sound. It is a vintage guitar from the 1940s and is not a modern reproduction.
