Epiphone Guitars - Are they good?

I think the prices quoted by the last poster are a little high... Also, the chances of yours being in perfect playing / cosmetic condition without considerable work are slim to none.

I believe these models were quality guitars made in the USA and are collectable though... Epiphone was an American competetor of Gibson back then. Epiphone was later purchased by Gibson and Epiphone is currently the brand name stamped on Gibson's cheaper imported guitars.

Condition is going to have MUCH to do with the price... I would say around $500.00 if the guitar needs some work. Higher (maybe MUCH higher) if it's in perfect playing / cosmetic condition (Not likely with the guitars being that old). You'll probably find that there has been some warpage of the necks and maybe some other problems. If you try to sell these guitars as "pristine" without knowing much about guitars... you'll probably get yourself into some trouble. The higher prices are probably being asked by luthiers who bought them cheap and put considerable work into restoring them.
