Not long ago I was at the Philadelphia Guitar Show and a buddy of mine told me he had something I’d probably never seen before – and, sure enough, it turned out he did. I had only ever seen photos of this version of the Epiphone Coronet, but I’d never owned one or even seen one in person.
My friend literally had it for a matter of hours because he acquired it from the original owner, who had brought it into his shop the day before the show. I wouldn’t let him walk away until he’d sold it to me.
