Finish:
Gibson Certified Vintage 1961 Epiphone Coronet
Although the Coronet was introduced by Epiphone in 1959 as a reliable entry-level instrument, it wasn’t long before influential players across generations, including Steve Marriott, Johnny Marr, Del Shannon, and Ace Frehley sought out its signature Cherry finish, double-cut accessibility, and P-90-driven tone.
This instrument is in all-original condition with some light bumps and dings throughout. The top bass side of the pickguard has cracked at the screw hole, and the original Cherry finish has begun to fade on the top and the back of the neck.
There are no modifications to this 1961 Coronet, and since its original case has been lost to time, it ships with a modern EpiLite™ case.
Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting December 14, 2023.
