WITHDRAWN FS/FT 1965 Epiphone Olympic Special, PRICE DROPPED TO £795 ovno
eventhelosers
Frets: 100
Up for sale or trade is my 1965, Kalamazoo made, Epiphone Olympic Special. Its very similar to the Gibson Melody Makers of the same period in terms of the construction, layout and finish but has a less symmetrical shape, which being honest isn't the prettiest in my opinion, although it still looks pretty cool.
Its made from mahogany, weighs next to nowt and it sounds fantastic. Its got a bright, rich, resonant chime when you hit open and barre chords and really sings on lead breaks. Sound wise think Gibson SG Junior with a bit of Fender Telecaster thrown in. Its definitely at it's best in that clean/crunchy rhythm territory. If you like to work the volume control and you're into AC/DC, late 60s The Who etc... then this guitar will get you there. It doesn't do super high gain very well, as you'd probably expect, but I'm sure a Seymour Duncan Cool Rails or something similar would help you out there if needs be.
The neck is a chunky but comfortable handful and as far as I'm aware has the original frets, which are in surprisingly good nick to say they're 50 years in. Also, as far as I'm aware, the rest of the guitar is 100% original too. Obviously it has its fair share of dings and scratches but there's nothing structurally wrong with it, no breaks, repairs or warping of the neck. Absolutely no issues tuning or intonation wise either.
I'm selling because I need something with a bit more versatility i.e. at least one more pickup. This guitar essentially does one thing amazingly well, with a good amount of variation, all things considered, using the volume and tone controls, and if I was playing blues/rock every night or had enough cash to buy another guitar outright I'd probably keep it, however, unfortunately I'm not the combination of Angus Young and Rockefeller I always dreamed I would be...
If you want to buy it outright its £795 ovno. Payment by cash or bank transfer please, no Paypal here I'm afraid. Due to the age of the guitar I'm not going to courier it but it can be collected if you're in the West Yorkshire region or we can meet up somewhere half way.
Trades wise, I'm looking for a Squier JV Strat, preferably the 62 RI with the fat(ish) C shaped neck profile.
Offers via PM please.
Thanks for looking!
