| 1910 Harp Guitar
Acquired by Epiphone in March of
2007 as part of the Jim Fisch Collection, this rare Epiphone harp guitar
with spruce top, rosewood sides and mahogany back has gone through much repair
and refinishing over its lifetime and may have had some major components
replaced. Still the instrument is invaluable in that it still sports the
House of Stathopoulo sound hole label and shows unmistakable signs of the
Stathopoulo's craftsmanship. The instrument plays as is but is in need of
restoration.
