1961 Epiphone E312T Zephyr Regent w PAF Mini Humbuckers Vintage Gibson!
Here is a pretty rare 1961 Epiphone Zephyr Regent E312T in Sunburst, built during the Kalamazoo era alongside Gibson — a very cool transitional model.
This one blends classic Epiphone design with emerging Gibson features, including a pair of PAF mini-humbuckers, single-line Kluson tuners, and reflector knobs. It’s a great snapshot of the transition period, and the pickups in particular sound amazing.
The guitar is 100% original, with the only exception being a circa 1970 Gibson hardshell case.
Condition is very good overall. There is finish checking throughout, along with light scratches and dings as you’d expect. There is also an old store decal above the Epiphone logo that shows some wear. Since the decal is a silk screen, the decal could be removed easily if so desired, but we’ve left it as it's always fun to see those on old guitars like this.
The Details
- Condition: Very Good
- Originality: 100% original (later Gibson case)
- Finish: Original Sunburst with checking throughout
- Notes: Old store decal above logo
Playability & Sound
This one plays very well and sounds excellent. The PAF mini-humbuckers are strong and articulate, giving you a clear, warm tone that works great for a variety of styles.
