Interesting Test of Recent Vintage Epiphone

[L50EF15]

I just came across this video (in French, but it’s easy enough to follow). The presenter has D’A Chromes on one of the round hole Zenith’s. It sounds much better that way (to me, but then I have used Chromes for almost 30
years):

Having just bought a G-200 that I am enjoying immensely (it’s like a flattop for archtop players), I am not going to rush out and track down a Zenith. But it’s on my radar for the future.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what brand is the G-200?

Gibson, part of the Generation Collection:

I love it. It’s probably the closest I will get to owning something like an L-5 Premier or Super 400, because big archtops tend towards five figures and I can’t justify spending that much. This one was on sale at $500 below list price and too good to pass up.
