Members lz4005 Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 I dig that guitar a lot.But talk about having to use a wound G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted July 9, 2013 Members Share Posted July 9, 2013 Not only do I like everything about this guitar but I also like Elderly Instruments. Not only is Elderly Instruments one of the best music stores I have ever encountered but they are also one of the most reliable, and longest lasting, dealers of old guitars I have ever bought old and playable guitars from. If somebody was interested in acquiring and playing old guitars I highly recommend Elderly Instruments as an excellent place to start.Like the description says, this version of the Epiphone Century is very similar to, and made in the same Kalamazoo, Michigan factory as, the same era Gibson ES-125T. The pickup is a genuine 1960s Gibson P-90. At the time this Epiphone Century was made Epiphone was not Gibson's budget brand- Kalamazoo was.

I've never bought a guitar from Elderly, but I have bought a lot of other stuff from them over the last decade+: books, CDs, strings, miscellaneous equipment, and I've called them to ask questions about some of their used guitars. Never had anything but a first-class experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted July 10, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's pretty good. I like semi-hollows and P90s, but the lack of cutaway and lack of a second pickup would probably deter me if I was looking to buy. So I say it's hot, but wouldn't buy it.

Members Special J Posted July 10, 2013 Members Share Posted July 10, 2013 Must be the Americana music boom driving prices up, because a decade ago the equivalent Gibson or Guild would have gone for like $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decade ago lunch cost under five bucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
