1967 EpiphoneAl Caiola Standard – Cherry


Look at this super clean 1967 Epiphone Al Caiola Standard in Cherry! In the early 1960s, Gibson released several Artist-endorsed guitars, but their newly purchased subsidiary Epiphone had yet to take the plunge. Until 1963, when famous session musician and guitarist Al Caiola was Epiphone’s first artist endorsee, with his model coming out that very year! This model stands out with its use of “Tonexpressor” switches, a 25-½” scale length, a jack on the side of the body, and a trapeze-style tailpiece featuring a white plastic engraved plate. This particular guitar has a highly comfortable neck with a nice 1-11/16 nut width, and these two chrome dog-eared P-90s sound fantastic in basically every switch position! This guitar is entirely original, while it has a newer hardshell case.
