A detachable plastic pickguard with Epiphone logo is also present.
Back and top are bound in aged creme binding and the top features a pair of 'f' holes. Back, sides and the top are all made of laminated maple (like on the original 1966 Century model). It kicks off with a completely hollow archtop body without a cutaway. Inspired by 1966 Century is a brand new model, introduced for 2016 summer NAMM. It was a popular option and a sound alternative to Epiphone`s Casino and Gibson`s 335, only a bit smaller. But, now, it was a hollow-bodied electric guitar with an arched top and active electronics. Fast forward to 1957 - Epiphone`s union with Gibson has, among other things, resulted in the revival of the classic Century model. Back then, Century was an archtop acoustic guitar, one of the finest on the market.
Century is one of the classic features of Epiphone catalog, with its roots reaching back to 1930s.
