          Epiphone Excalibur

  I have an Epiphone solid electric that was told to me by my guitar fixit guy
  that it is an Excalibur.  He got this information from gibson (archive or
  vintage).  He states there isn't much else infomation to get about the
  guitar but I'm persistant.

  About the piece:

  Headstock:
          Pointy style black laminate top
          Epiphone inlayed in Mother-of-Pearl across the top of head
          Diamond shape MOP inlay between tuners with Gibson down the
              middle of it.
          Shaller (sp?) tuners ?
          Locking nut
          Truss rod cover

  Neck:
          Neck through entire body, very straight and true
          24 fret
          M-O-P inlay in neck looks like wide letter V
          Dark fretboard, not sure what type

  Body:
          PRS shaped body, but with rounded edges
          Transparent finish (non-starburst) honey-colored
          Light curly maple top lam to dark backing

  Electronics
          Two Select EMG humbuckers
          Steinberger locking tremelo bridge w/ micro tuners
          One vol knob, one three-way switch, one push-pull tone knob
              (all in a straight line paralled with pickups)

  This is a very nice, gigable guitar that I would like to have a little more
  information on.

  Thanks for your time.
