1943 Epiphone Blackstone

Allegedly previously owned by Duke Robillard. I contacted Mr. Robillard to confirm this and got the following response:

"Well, it looks familar but I'm not positive. The pickguard is made by the guy who makes them for me. If it has been refretted with high fret wire it's probably mine. Duke Robillard".

Make of this what you will, either way, this is a fabulous playing guitar. The finish is exceptionally good for its age. There has been minor repair work done to the binding on the neck, but this has been done to an extremely high standard by a professional luthier and does nothing to detract from the beauty of this fine instrument. More photographs available on request. £1450 (consignment).
