twangster · Post by **twangster** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:34 pm

Thanks for the help! It's a 1961 Epiphone Century 3/4.

There are a few different ways to do it. You can copy the image link, click the

button above the box where you enter your reply and then paste the image link into the box that appears.

An easier way is to copy the image link with the tags already in place. On photobucket the default is to have a variety on links below the image, one of which says 'IMG Code'. If you copy that one it comes with the correct tags in place and you just paste it directly into your reply. I've changed the setting son my photobucket account to only show the direct link and link with tags (the default includes two other options I don't use) and you can see both in this picture.

Alternatively, you can manually type the code.

However you do it, the end result should look like this (to see it in it's original format click 'edit' on your first post in this thread but don't submit as there's no need to)

Code: Select all

More importantly, that's a fantastic looking guitar and I want one. What sort of money do they go for?

Wow, really nice and unusual guitar, nice find! What's it like to play?

Niiiiiice !
I've been looking for such a guitar recently (not 3/4 though), but couldn't find one, and the matching Gibson (mostly ES-125 I guess) are quite pricey, so I've found & bought a 1948 Epiphone Blackstone instead ... will post pictures later, but it's hardly a short scale (25 1/2)

twangster · Post by **twangster** » Mon Jul 26, 2010 12:42 pm

Thanks everyone! It plays really effortlessly. I really like the larger gibson frets and small neck. They go for between $ 1,200 and $ 1,500 which is cheaper than the Gibson ES-140 but still reasonable compared to full size vintage guitars.

I was gonna say, that looks like the Epi version of the ES-140!

I love the 140 - so nice looking, and unique without being too showy. How do you like the scale? Isn't it like 19 or 20 inches?

twangster · Post by **twangster** » Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:42 pm

It's a 23" scale. I like it better than the short duo sonic. It's actually closer to the Gibson ES-125 3/4 that doesn't have a cutaway. Roy Rogers the blues/slide player uses one.

That is a great guitar you've got there. Looks like similar dimensions to my '59 guyatone but more awesome. Love wee guitars!
