I have a '63 Epiphone Troubadour guitar. 12 fret dreadnaught, flame maple body, nice spruce top. These were built for the folk boom of the early '60's, built for either nylon or steel. 2" wide neck at the nut and uncompensated bridge (for those nylon strings) make for a great lap guitar. Kelly Joe Phelps played the Gibson counterpart, the FJN. I have it set up now with a high nut for lap playing and the sound is just plain great. Has K&K Pure Western pickup system. Guitar is in 9.0 condition with original case also in good condition. Jackson Browne loves this model and has a few. Very rare guitar.
$1800 .

Thanks Hugh. It is a great guitar. My main flattop is a '67 Martin D-35S, 3rd one ever made. I just don't play this one much. It is a really great lap steel too. |
