It is now getting harder and harder to find any clean 50 year old guitars - In many ways, a fair proportion of what we now regard as vintage guitars, underwent various 'customized' changes. during a period of time when they had their lowest value, during the late 60's and 70's - Guitarists and repairers needed to find ways to improve the tone and playing performance of these 'old guitars' as they now had to take into account the changing music scene from the clean pop sound of the early 60's, to the overdriven rock climate of the late 60's - At the time, these 'customized hot rod' options were considered essential to guitars that had a value well below £200 - Therefore many unmolested guitars now command top dollars, with prices on many vintage guitars well above the earning power of many of us

This single pick-up Epiphone Olympic has no neck breaks and is still in remarkable condition, especially taking into account its age - It has all the correct bits 'n' bobs with it, including those 'goofy' style amp knobs - Very resonant lively tone - It even has an original period 'soft' case with it, which whilst it offers as much protection as a Sainsbury carrier bag, it was part of the 60's culture to offer these softer cases, with lower priced guitars - The 6 digit serial number, starting 138xxx, indicates the circa 63 period - The simple things in life, can at times be all that you need to do a certain job and this Olympic has a great vibe about it which makes it so infectious to play - Buy it and enjoy it
