Vintage Epiphones of the 1930s
1934 Spartan
The Spartan was introduced in 1934 with a 16 3/8"-wide body, carved spruce-top, round soundhole, solid pressed-maple for the multi-piece and arched back, dot inlay, and bound top, back, and fretboard. The round soundhole was changed to f-holes in 1936. This example has seen its share of action, and is missing all hardware, nut, and frets.
