The pictures of Epiphones make me want to try again to learn how to post pictures here... So here goes nothing, probably!
Epiphone Zephyr, probably either 1942 or 1946 as they stopped production during the war years, and the serial number starts with 25. Pickup location indicates an early 1940's Zephyr, anyway. 5 ply spruce laminated top, with no braces at all inside. Laminated back and sides also, with no back access port the way earlier models had. The Mastervoicer tone control is straight through at the mid-way setting, and cuts highs and lows as you turn it to "mellow" or "brilliant". Original tailpiece but has been broken and repaired at the sharp bend. Nice guitar, original frets are quite low now but very slim Vee neck plays as fast as a modern instrument. Neck was reset last year.
