1939 Epiphone Olympic Archtop Guitar

1939 Epiphone Olympic. These things had solid, carved tops, solid walnut or mahogany sides, pressed, laminated walnut or mahogany back. 25.5” scale rosewood fretboard, trussrod & elevated fingerboard. They were great guitars, and in my opinion, much better than most anything Gibson offered at the time anywhere in twice the price range. #epiphoneolympic #archtopguitar #lloydloar #boutiqueguitar #archtopguitar #jazzguitar #hammtone

Hi - I love Epiphone archtops - can you tell me a ballpark idea of what yours sold for? Thanks!

[@Hamm-toneGuitars]

This was negotiated into a bit of an agreement, I figure they are worth anywhere between $1500 and $2500 Canadian these days….. I may be wrong though! I also have a ‘41. It sounds exceptional.

@@Hamm-toneGuitars Thanks - I appreciate it. I'm looking at a '39 that's in the lower end of that range - very tempting!
