1998 Epiphone Emperor - Peerless Factory

Here we have a beautiful 1998 Epiphone Emperor Regent in Sunburst finish. This rare hollow-body guitar was made in the heralded Peerless Factory in Korea, and are becoming harder to find on the market.

This guitar is in excellent condition, has been professionally setup with 11-49 D’Addario strings, complete fretboard recondition and full fret polish, and barely any wear on the frets. The tuners, pots and pick-up work perfectly and comes with an Epiphone hard shell case. There is some finish damage near the nut of the guitar, hence the lower price.

This guitar was built for jazz, but has so much versatility for singer-songwriters, blues players, and a little bit of rockabilly too!

Here at Sugarloaf Guitars, we want to give used instruments a new lease of life. Every guitar is fully inspected, setup and repaired for its new home. We offer a 30-day warranty on our guitars and repairs, so you can ensure you’re off to the best start with your new guitar.
