Epiphone / Zephyr Emperor Vari-Tone / 1951 / Guitar

This 1951 Epiphone Zephyr Emperor Vari-Tone is a great example of the innovations Epiphone made in the electric guitar market. The denotations “Zephyr” and “Regent” are Epiphone lingo for an electric model with a cutaway, respectively. This instrument features three original New York pickups which can be combined into every possible combination (except for all three together) with the 6-button switching system. Features the original Bakelite pickup mounts, carousel control knobs, Frequensator tailpiece, compensated rosewood bridge and Epiphone Epsilon tuners. A great large-bodied hollowbody with a spruce top, laminated maple body, 7-ply body binding, bound rosewood fretboard with pearl/abalone block/triangle inlays and branch inlay on the headstock. One can see why the Emperor was Epiphone’s top model before the company merged with Gibson in 1957. Condition of this instrument is excellent with some expected signs of use, the bindings has come loose of the body in several placed due to shrinkage. Includes original hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
