So my girlfriend has this guitar in her basement. Was her grandfathers, I'm assuming it's pretty damn old.
I can't find a serial number on it and the closest thing we've found is the Epiphone Triumph models
Anyone got any info?
If you need more pictures, or better ones let me know.

Triumph is a good guess.
Not sure it's a Triumph though. Not as familiar with Epiphones as I used to be.
You've seen this?

Should have some good info for you.
You may need to take measurements of the body.

Measurements is a good idea, I'll get around to that tomorrow

Just looking at it you can tell it will pull the blues right out of you. I don't play much acoustic but I feel like I'd play the hell out of that!

Yeah, it's a gorgeous guitar. Those old Epiphones are works of art.

Oh, yeah, I forgot, Casavettes, take a peek into the f-holes and see if you can see a label inside there.
