Looks like an Epiphone Wilshire (circa 1960-62) to me.
Unless you know differently!

Yeah, a Wilshire or Crestwood I would think. I could go look it up in an actual book, but that would be too much like work. :)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like a Framus to me.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a 1961 Wilshire. Models with soapbar P-90s are extremely scarce:

What a great shot! Certainly looks like an Epiphone Wilshire. Got a trem too - you can see Jimi has folded the bar back over the bridge, and the old style tailpiece is just visible...
ReplyDeleteAlso - is that some sort of block inlay around fret 17? Fascinating!
Epi Coronet I think. Those things are fantastic.
