    Serial #: 61050, New York label

    Body size at lower bout: 17 3/8" Scale length: 25 1/2"


    Nut width : 1 11/16" Neck depth, 1st/10th frets:
    .89/1.08

    Materials: Solid carved spruce soundboard; solid carved


    maple back and sides; 5 piece cherry neck; solid
    rosewood fingerboard with diamond mother of pearl
    inlay; pearl peghead inlay, triple-bound top, bound
    fingerboard, back and headstock.

    bound tortoise pickguard.

    Notes: When choosing an acoustic archtop, many


    contemporary players find themselves in a dilemma.
    While seeking the playability of a cutaway design, they
    are loathe to sacrifice the full-throated voice of the
    traditional non-cut body. Few are the guitars that serve
    both masters well, but Epiphone's Triumph Regent models from this era can have cutting power to rival the best of the
    big band boomers.

    The cutaway version of Epi's most popular model, the Triumph Regent was manufactured for only about five years, and
    is accordingly a much scarcer item than either the non-cutaway Triumph, or the competing Gibson L-7C, which was
    produced for almost a quarter century.

    A powerful instrument, the voice has exceptional acoustic projection, clarity and generous dynamic range. Indeed, it's
    one of the few we've seen to have remained all acoustic, without holes of any kind from a previous pickup. Well

    maintained, the body is without cracks, pick or buckle wear, with some normal scattered checking and a few incidental
    lacquer nicks. While the neck shows some smooth thumbwear and a bit of fingerboard grooving from its long career, the
    fine pro fretwork is brand new, with smooth low action over a fresh high precision setup, on the classic full C profile
    neck.

    A true acoustic warrior from the golden age, this rare beauty offers the best of both worlds: a deep contemporary
    cutaway, and a voice to put meek modern archtops to shame. An most welcome find: one only, call now.

    Setup: Trussrod tension and neck relief adjusted; bridge height adjusted; bridge compensation set; string slots at nut and
    bridge inspected and recut as necessary; bridge foot contour inspected and fit to top as necessary; bridge radius
    inspected and recurved as necessary; bridge wheels and tuners lubricated; fingerboard and bridge oiled; body and neck
    cleaned and hand polished.

    This instrument is strung with medium gauge bronze strings (.013). The guitar will accommodate lighter or heavier
    gauge strings, according to preference. String action is set at 4/64" to 5/64" at the 12th fret, with moderate relief for
    acoustic playing with medium strings. The action may be lowered or raised to your requirements with the adjustable
    bridge.

    Case: Deluxe tweed plush lined hardshell case.
