2009 Epiphone EL-00 Flattop Guitar

Epiphone talks-up this model a lot in their online advertising for it. Suffice to say, it's a 000-size, narrow-shoulders guitar that's sort-of styled on the old '30s Gibson L-00 models. The corners are curvier than those, however, and the sound is much more modern (read: fuller, but with a woody bark to it) than your typical old L-00.

This would make a nice, kick-about guitar for trips and bonfires and adventures and it would also suit a learner well, too. The owner has "retro'd" it, too, with the pearloid pickguard and old-fashioned "bikini logo" at the headstock. We've set it up and adjusted it a hair and it plays spot-on and is ready to go.

Repairs included: minor setup adjustments.

Condition notes: the pickguard and tuners are swapped. The finish on the top has been "deglossed" with #0000 steel wool so it's got more of a satin sheen, now. A "bikini" headstock logo had been added.

It comes with: sorry, no case.
