Up for sale is a clean 1961 Epiphone Olympic Single Cut in its original sunburst finish. This is easily one of the absolute earliest Olympics we've seen and it has a few features you typically do not see on later models such as the Epiphone headstock logo, ink stamp serial, fat 50s rounded neck and angled nickel tailpiece. Visible pot codes are coded 1346043 dating to the 43rd week of 1960. The example is entirely original and is a real joy to play. At half the price and 2 or 3 times the rarity of a 1950s Single Cut Les Paul Junior how can you say no?
Pro Setup in house and ships with a vintage non original soft case.
Weight: 6lbs. 8oz.
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 at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
