FS: 1963 Epiphone Coronet in Cherry Red -SOLD

1963 Epiphone Coronet in Cherry Red

-No trades thanks-

In very good condition for its age, original nut and frets still intact.

1963 was a transitional year for the Coronet. Still has the symmetrical horns (they went asymmetrical later in ’64) and 3-on-a-side tuners (they went to the batwing headstock in ’64). Pickguard is intact, not cracked like many are at this point, 60-years later.

Came out of the same Gibson factory in Kalamazoo that produced the Gibson Les Paul Junior.

A featherweight at 5 lbs 6 oz.

A few upgrades:


• MojoAxe Lightning Bolt Wraparound Bridge (original included)


• TonePros Locking Studs (originals included)


Single P90 measure 6.59K ohms, sounds fantastic. Original tuners and electronics.

Includes original case, which is in rough shape, but still in one piece.

I will also include a nice modern Epiphone hardshell case which actually protects the guitar.
$4,000
Would prefer a local pick up in the New England area, but shipping could be arranged.

Welcome to Epi-Talk. Good luck with the sale. It's a beauty

 

[robberns]

Thanks, it is and deserves to be played more than I play it.

Just to give you are heads up, we aren't really buyers of vintage guitars. But the forum does pop up on searches. So post a Reverb or eBay link if you have one. A non-member searching for a vintage Coronet will be able to find you.

Thanks for the tip!

So post a Reverb or eBay link if you have one.

It would be better to have one, especially as a new member.

With all due respect, you could be Norm of Norm's guitars and it'd still be advisable to provide a link as we don't check ID's at the door, so to speak.

Shockingly, we do get the occasional scammer coming through. Therefore using a reputable website for the transaction would provide protection for both parties.

You guys can do whatever it is you decide to do, and I hope it works out.

I wish I was Norm, but alas, I'm not.
Just a guitar guy in the Northeast.

The link breaks, but I was able to find you.
Let me try a different approach.

EDIT: The link above works. Something with the https:// being part of it breaks things. I plain-texted the link as written and turned it back into a link using the exact same link info. I shouldn't have had to, but it liked it when I converted "Link" that way - so I just used the link as the base text.

Thanks, I copied and pasted the link, not sure why it didn't work.
