Inside the upper f-hole is a 1930s era replica Epiphone label. The Zenith Classic is available in traditional Vintage Natural and Vintage Sunburst aged gloss finishes, each with unique color tones inspired by Epiphone’s priceless vintage collection in Nashville, Tennessee. The tortoise style pickguard comes unattached. Pickguard hardware comes included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEpiphone Masterbilt Century Collection \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike Epi’s first generation of archtops, the new Zenith Classic has a unique body profile with a 16” lower bout, a 11.6” upper bout, a 9.4” waist, and a body length slightly over 20”. Many archtop collectors consider a 16” archtop the ideal size for its concentrated sonic punch and overall tone. With its signature f-holes and Solid Spruce top, the Zenith Classic is an ideal rhythm instrument for singers and soloists. And flattop guitarists will discover it can easily cut through a mix better than most any other acoustic. Both the body and top feature 3-layer Ivory \u0026amp; Black color binding while the Ebony fingerboard has single layer Ivory color binding. The f-holes have 2-layer binding. The 5-piece Hard Maple and Mahogany neck has a full rounded “C”- profile that is glued to the body with a dovetail joint for a precise fit so the Zenith Classic will resonate as one piece of wood. The Ebony fretboard has 20 medium frets, a 25.5” scale length, and pearloid \"Falling Snowflakes” inlays modeled after the original Masterbilt Zeniths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact tone of the Zenith Classic sounds beautiful unamplified on a small stage or in the studio. But now the cutting edge eSonic™ HD (High Definition) preamp system and Shadow NanoFlex™ HD Under-saddle pickup make it possible for archtop players to hear their instrument amplified exactly as they hear it unplugged. No archtop player has ever heard an acoustic guitar more accurately represented through a sound system before. The Shadow NanoFlex HD Under-saddle pickup has easy-to-access controls for Master Volume and Master EQ mounted just inside the lower f-hole. Now you have complete control over how much of the acoustic guitar is amplified. The pre-amp system is powered by a standard 9-volt battery that is easy to access, located near the solid nickel ¼” output jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistoric Epiphone Hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Zenith Classic comes with Historic Epiphone Re-issue Tuners with Marboloid \"Crown\" buttons with an upgraded 18:1 tuning ratio for fast and accurate tuning. The tuners are mounted on an Epiphone Dovewing headstock with Pearloid \"Banner\" logos. Unlike many vintage archtops, the Zenith Classic has a dual action truss rod for easy and perfect set-up. The Floating Adjustable Ebonoid Bridge is made from a synthesized material that has the grain-like texture and look of Ebony but is harder and more reliable for years of playing. The historic aged all-nickel Trapeze Tailpiece is also inspired from Epiphone’s vintage Masterbilt collection. Every new Masterbilt Century guitar is set up at the factory with Cleartone® 12-53 gauge strings. An optional vintage-styled hard case is also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Spruce; Longitudinal Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laminated Flame Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLower Bout = 16\"\u003cbr\u003eUpper Bout = 11.6\"\u003cbr\u003eWaist = 9.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 5-pc Laminated; Hard Maple\/Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rounded \"C\" shape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e eSonic™ HD (High Definition)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Master Volume \u0026amp; Master EQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Shadow NanoFlex™ HD; Under-saddle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9-Volt Battery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dual-Action\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Black PVC \"Bullet\"; 1-layer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dovetail; Glued-In\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pearloid \"Notched Diamond\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Historic Epiphone Dovewing with Pearloid \"Banner\" logos;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistoric Epiphone Reissue Tuners with Marboloid \"Crown\" buttons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 18:1 ratio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 20; Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 25.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cleartone®; 12-53\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFloating Adjustable Ebonoid Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Compensated; Artificial Bone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Historic Epiphone Trapeze\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody Top – 1-Layer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody Back – 1-Layer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard – None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeadstock – None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"f\" Hole – None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Imitation Tortoise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1930s Era Replica Soundhole Label\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Century Collection Olympic Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.125\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEpiphone Limited Lifetime\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34299120287879,"sku":"ETZ2VSNH1","price":454.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/epiphone-acoustic-guitars-archtop-epiphone-masterbilt-century-collection-zenith-classic-f-hole-vintage-sunburst-etz2vsnh1-28314585792647.jpg?v=1646975109","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/epiphone-masterbilt-century-collection-zenith-classic-26050","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
