A Return of the Classic Archtop in Celebration of Epiphone’s 150th Anniversary

The Epiphone Zephyr DeLuxe Regent was originally produced from 1948 until 1957 and was one of the world’s preeminent archtop guitar designs when Epiphone was Gibson’s biggest competitor. In celebration of Epiphone’s 150th anniversary, Epiphone is proud to release the new limited edition 150th Anniversary Zephyr DeLuxe Regent. Perfect for jazz, blues, and rockabilly and inspired by the highly-collectible vintage originals but updated to meet the needs of modern players, the new limited edition 150th Anniversary Zephyr DeLuxe Regent is a full hollowbody. It features a deep cutaway for improved upper-fret access, a multi-layer pressed maple arched top, and a 25.5” scale 5-piece maple and mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard. The inlays include a historic 50s-style Epiphone logo, a Tree of Life headstock inlay, and historic Epiphone Cloud fretboard position markers - all in Mother of Pearl. The electronics are equally impressive, with a pair of Epiphone NY Mini Humbucker™ pickups. Each has individual volume and tone controls with CTS® potentiometers. A 150th Anniversary decal adorns the back of the headstock, and an Epiphone 150th Anniversary Historic Hardshell Case is included.
