I just passed up a 1935 Epiphone zenith.

It had a solid carved spruce top and walnut back and sides. Very nice small acoustic, f-hole, arch top sound.

I was thinking of mounting a floating minihumbucker or DeArmond pickup (ala Johnny Smith), hoping to get that acoustic sound unplugged and a jazz tone plugged in.

But in the end I did not buy it because the action was too high up around the 6th fret for playing barre chords all night. But the Zeniths are inexpensive $275-800 depending on how original they are, and they are neat little guitars.
