Circa 1951-1956 Epiphone DeLuxe In Natural. For All Intensive Purposes, This Is A DeLuxe Model - 17 3/8" Lower Bout - 5-Piece Neck - Cloud Inlays - But For Whatever Reason This Guitar Received An "Emperor" On The Label Inside - We Are Aware Of The "Emperor Sized DeLuxe" - However, This Is Not One Of Those Models.
