{"product_id":"epiphone-e-252-broadway-1968-husk-project-poor","title":"Epiphone 1968 E-252 Broadway Archtop Husk Project Poor","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo sales tax for US customers outside California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHere we have a 1968 Epiphone E-252 Broadway archtop husk in sunburst — sold as a project at project pricing. The guitar came in strung up and it did play pretty well, but the amalgamation of non-original parts and the binding issues on the guitar made us decide to part it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Broadway was Epiphone's full-size 17\" archtop from the Gibson-owned New York and later Kalamazoo production era, a fully hollow instrument with the visual and acoustic presence of the classic American archtop platform. This example has been routed for full-size humbuckers at both the neck and bridge positions, making it a ready platform for a builder who wants to drop in a pair of PAF-style or other full-size humbuckers and wire a complete instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe neck is a three-piece mahogany\/maple construction in a C profile, very good condition with no repairs, carrying the original rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays in excellent condition. Frets are good. The body finish is in very good condition — better than the condition grade suggests. The body binding is in poor condition and is the primary cosmetic issue. No hardware, electronics, pickups, bridge, or tailpiece are included — this is a body and neck husk only, priced accordingly for a builder or restorer who wants the platform and will supply the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo case.  We will double-box for safe shipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 4lbs 7oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\":\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-9\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .826\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: .969\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Length: 20-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower Bout: 17-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 10-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper Bout: 12-9\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall Length: 42-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: 3-piece mahogany\/maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Profile: c\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: Original\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: Mother of Pearl Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Material: Arched laminated maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Condition: Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Binding: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Binding Condition: poor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Finish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Finish Condition: Very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Pickup Cavity Condition: Cut for full size humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge Pickup Cavity Condition: Cut for full size humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy.
