The Upper Bout


 


Used Epiphone ET-270

This Epiphone model has been made quite famous in recent times by Kurt Cobain, who could be seen at times playing an ET-270 during his career. You can hear an ET-270 all across Nirvana's debut record BleachThis model was the first solid body offering for the Japanese Epiphones, and was introduced around 1970. It was initially called model 1802T but then changed to the more commonly known ET 270. Hailing from the famous Matsumoko plant, this guitar offers great Japanese build quality, and some really good pickups which make this ET a great choice for those who like guitars that are a bit left of center. These guitars have a really cool “bass boost” switch that totally increases the output. In catalogs it was labeled as a tone switch, but that switch really boosts the output!
