Up for sale is a 1965 Epiphone Olympic in Sunburst finish! No, it's not pristine, and it isn't all-original, but for those of us who love a guitar with some personality and broken-in vintage aura, this is a good one. The tuners, nut, and bridge have been replaced, but the original single coil pickups are still ripping.
In Good Vintage condition with considerable wear for an instrument of this age, including significant scratches, prominent finish checking, and a few nicks and dings. There are a few stress cracks on the back below the heel, but they are not moving and appear to be finish cracks that don't pose any structural concern. This guitar has clearly been loved and played through the years!
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
