Vintage 1960s Epiphone GRANADA Worn Brown Hollow Body Electric Guitar

These guitars are considered desirable vintage instruments, built during the period when Epiphone guitars were manufactured in the same Kalamazoo plant as Gibsons, often using the same parts. The Epiphone Granada was available in two main models during the 1960s: the non-cutaway E444T (1962-1969) and the rarer Florentine cutaway version, the E444TC (1965-1969). Body: It features fully hollow, thinline construction with a laminated maple top and back, and mahogany sides. The body is 16.25" wide and 1.75" deep. Neck: The guitar has a set mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and pearl dot inlays. The scale length is 24.75" and the neck joins the body at the 14th fret. Pickup: A single-coil "Melody Maker style" pickup (part number PU-380) is mounted on a large, raised plastic pickguard. Some later models in 1966 used a mini-humbucker. Hardware: It includes a compensated rosewood adjustable bridge, a trapeze tailpiece, and Kluson tuners (later models featured a curvier headstock shape). Finish: The guitar was primarily available in a sunburst finish. Sound: Reviewers on Reverb praise its rich, acoustic resonance and unique tone that handles a variety of genres well, from jazz to rock. As a hollow body, it is more prone to feedback at high volumes than solid body guitars.
