I've only seen a few of these for sale in the last few years. 2 sold for $2k.
This one is all original, with hardly any use. Has a couple very minor dings.
Frets just polished w/fresh strings & intonation. Comes with new Gretsch case.
These are BIG guitars like a Super 400 Gibson.
Quality with these is on par with Gibson & Epi Elitist series guitars.
Great sounding pickups, ebony neck, etc...
Sounds great for Jazz, Fusion, Blues, & it can rock too. It's a semi hollow body.
Emperor (T) the T stands for thin. It's not a fat body Emperor, so it's even more rare than the wide body Matsumoko Emps...

Asking $1,500.
All offers considered.
Pics upon request...

;^)

I believe Leon Rhodes played one like it in the Ernest Tubb Texas Troubadores band. His was a red one. I'm licking my chops. Nice.

It's really a sweet instrument. A real pleasure to play, all the way around.

Forgot to put in original post that I will consider trades.
An S-10 of comparable value. I can add some $$$ for the right steel, E9, Emmons set up.

Would really like to have another Emmons S-10. Had to sell mine last year. Sad

Cool

^^^^ Bump up for a very well built Epiphone. Every bit as nice as a "Byrdland". If I had more room it would be with me. Smile Worth every penny asked.
