1946 Epiphone Blackstone at The Music Emporium

As lovers of (let's face it) almost everything that says Epiphone on it, the Blackstone holds a special place in our collective TME hearts. In the world of carved 16" acoustic archtops, the Epiphone Blackstone is an incredible value, offering the caliber of tone typically only associated with more storied manufacturers. This guitar was acquired locally from the original owner's family. It remains in excellent condition, sporting only a repaired center seam and replacement tailpiece.

Audio recorded with an AKG C414 condenser mic and ‪@UniversalAudio‬ "Volt" interface. No additional processing has been added.
The wonderful playing is by Berklee professor, and dear friend of TME, Jim Kelly!
