2017 Epiphone EL-00 Mahogany 000-Size Guitar

This pretty guitar goes by the designation "EL-00" but it's a fair-bit wider than a "typical" L-00 body shape at 15 1/2" on the lower bout. That officially makes this a 000-size instrument, though it does have a 00-size upper bout and waist.

As you might expect, it has a woody, dry, and up-front sort-of tone. It sounds good through its pickup system (the main draw: this looks swell and handles nicely plugged-in) and the acoustic tone is midsy and punchy but not as loud (from the player perspective, for sure) as you're thinking it ought to be.

The neck is quick and modern, it has plenty of saddle left at the bridge, and it's ready to go.

Repairs included: a restring and setup.
