The cooler younger brother to Gibson's ES-125T, this 1964 Epiphone Sorrento offers great playability and comfort with that bouncy acoustic thinline hollowbody tonality that makes it a hard guitar to put down.

1964 Epiphone Sorrento just in on consignment!

Following the model style of Gibson's ES-125T model, the E452T Sorrento features a 16" lower bout thinline hollow body with a single florentine style cutaway. All-maple laminate construction for the body and a Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fingerboard round out the tonewoods, matching up with the ES-125T identically. Beyond that, the Sorrento brings something different to the table in a few ways.

First off, check out that finish! An exclusive to the Epiphone line, the green-ish burst is formally known as Royal Olive. It's such a great color that we never tire of seeing, and suits the model quite well. The Walnut-stained back and sides provide nice contrast too.

Forgoing the P90 of the ES-125T for a factory mini-humbucker is where the Sorrento separates itself tonally. The mini-humbucker provides more depth of tone with a richer bass response and clear highs, all while remaining hum-free. This Sorrento also packs some serious acoustic resonance and response for a laminate-bodied guitar. It's a total joy to play both unplugged and plugged in.

Other early 60s Epiphone features like the smaller open-book headstock shape and oval fingerboard inlays add to that unique look that is far less common than the more production-heavy ES-125T. It's got a transitional 1 5/8" nut width and a nice medium C neck carve that leans more slim than chunky, but has a smooth taper for great playability regardless of position. Factory single line Kluson tuners with original white buttons work great.

Super fun to play, comfortable, lightweight, and vibey, this '64 Sorrento is an excellent blues and jazz guitar.
