“The new Zenith has been designed to resemble the original ancient Epiphone archtops, with a lower bout of 16”, an upper bout of 11.5” and a waist of 9.4”. If these measurements seem meaningless, that’s fine; let’s just say the guitar has a large frame, offset for comfort. According to Epiphone, archtop purists regard these numbers as ideal when it comes to sound and volume, which is good enough for us.”
