Tech Notes: This Zenith plays great with low action and light neck relief. The truss rod is adjustable, and the frets are in good shape. The serial number and mahogany back and sides suggest that this guitar was produced in early 1949 (Epiphone began producing this model with maple back and sides in late 1949).
