1953 Epiphone Emperor Sized Deluxe

SOLD

In mid 1950 Epiphone made a minuscule batch of guitars carrying the Deluxe model identification on their label but with the 18.5" body specs of their top of the line Emperor Guitar. Until this point in 1950, the Deluxe had been an approximately 16" and then 17" guitar. According to The Unofficial New York Epiphone Registry, there are five currently known and documented Emperor-sized De Luxes in that batch from 1950 with these increased size specifications.
