You won't find another one like it. This 1946 Epiphone Emperor was originally modified by Gibson in the 60s to have two mini humbuckers. I replaced those with a Charlie Christian pickup made by Pete Biltoft and a P-90 in the bridge position.
I replaced the aftermarket Schaller tuning machines with a set of recent Epiphone reproduction tuners to get the original look back. I replaced the tune-o-matic bridge with an all ebony Super 400 style bridge, and it sounds much better. The factory gold Frequensator tailpiece remains in great shape. The custom black pearloid pickguard and black carousel knobs have a slight smokey blue tint that really looks great against the ambered Natural finish.
The back, sides, and neck are heavily flame figured. There are finish cracks and checking throughout the guitar, as well as small dents or dings common on an 80 year old instrument. There are a few small repaired cracks in the top that are solid. The guitar also comes with an Epiphone hardshell case from the period.
