Bring Back the Jazz Age!
Capture the sound and the spirit of the roaring jazz age with an Epiphone Broadway hollowbody archtop electric guitar. Talk about a classic, the Broadway hollowbody dates all the way back to 1931, when jazz was in full swing and budding young guitarists like Les Paul and George Van Eps were starting to hit big. Back then, you needed a big ol' jazz box with a fine set of pickups just to hold your own when the horns kicked in. You also wanted to look darn spiffy when you got up on stage with the rest of the band. These days, modern amplification is more than a match for your average horn section, but the big, bold, and extremely shapable sound of the Broadway archtop is as vital as ever. And decked out in gold with abalone accents, you just won't find a better-looking hollowbody electric guitar for the money than the Epiphone Broadway.
