1980 Epiphone Emperor F Brown Sunburst
1980's Brown Label MIJ Emperor F, 17'' bout. Minor bout marks on top; the rear appears near mint-gorgeous back on this archtop! Luthier check up / set up 9/24 with new TI 12's. Single issue: tight truss rod; otherwise no repairs, breaks or issues. The original pick guard has mild warp-no need to replace in the interest of maintaining an all original instrument here. Do not go by SN to determine Korean made or Japan. I don't know how other sellers are assigning specific years on these. The brown label inside F-Hole signifies MIJ Matsumoko Era. Tone on this is magnificent--deep, rich, and mellow on the low end, and perfectly balanced register, top to bottom. Like new TKL Hard Case. Please inquire with any questions.
