Photos coming soon
This is one of the 1920’s professional Epiphone Recording range just under the Bandmaster B model. The 5 piece neck is made from rich walnut sandwiched with 2 outer maple strips and ebony centre with the headstock and fretboard made from mother of pearl pyralin, hand engraved, artistically tinted and set upon a foundation of 5 multicoloured veneers. The side of the fingerboard is bound with white pyralin and inset with position dots. The six ply resonator is faced with specially designed pyralin in a shell effect contrasted and enhanced by coloured checkered wood marquetry top edge. The metal parts have recently been professionally re-plated and it looks outstanding. The tuners are Gotoh 4: 1 ratio geared, The rear of the headstock has the famous Epiphone decal sticker in place. The resonator is also in excellent condition, with the rear and sides equally covered in green shell effect pyralin. The heavy flange is the later ‘X’ style which slips over the 3/4″ thick multiply rim. The tone ring in the Alhambra is the same type fitted to all of the recording models. Fitted with the engraved Grover Deluxe tailpiece with spring cover and tension adjuster screw. Fitted with a new 10 – 15/16″ Remo smooth white head, new strings and a new handmade walnut / cocobola tipped bridge. The banjo is in excellent condition and sounds amazing, it is loud and has great sustain and comes with the original vintage case with blue velvet interior. For Sale
