‘64 Epiphone Olympic

This is a real vintage Epiphone, similar to a Gibson Melody Maker, with the addition of two Lace Sensor pickups, new switching, upgraded tuners and properly intonated wrap-around bridge.

The guitar body is thin and light; the aluminum pick guard was added to give the body some weight to counteract the tendency for the neck to “dive.”

Its finish was extremely distressed, it has a matte finish now that hides the numerous dents and gouges.

It has had some professional work done on it, now it plays well, and the noiseless pickups are nice extra.

Here is an Olympic featured in a beautiful YouTube demo:
