1966 Epiphone Century E422T, Serial Number 823508

Upon its introduction in the 1950s, the Epiphone Century quickly became a favorite among blues and jazz musicians for its warm, resonant hollowbody tone and simple yet elegant design. By 1966, the Century had been refined with a single P-90 pickup, a fully hollow maple/poplar/maple body, and a 25.5” scale length, making it a standout option for players looking for a versatile, lightweight instrument with exceptional acoustic and electric capabilities.

This 1966 Epiphone Century E422T remains in very good original condition, with mild checking throughout and a light patina on all hardware and components. A strap button has been added to the heel for improved functionality. This guitar is notable for its historical significance, as it was used as a reference instrument in the development of the Epiphone James Bay 1966 Century reissue. Whether played acoustically or plugged in, it delivers all the rich, articulate tone that defines this model.

Ships in an aftermarket Epiphone hardshell case and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, and new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
