Epiphone Broadway Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Wine Red

Drawing on a lineage that reaches back to 1931, the Epiphone Broadway hollowbody electric guitar returns as a full-size, full-depth archtop shaped by decades of jazz tradition, with a reach into roots rock and beyond. Originally introduced as an acoustic archtop, the Broadway gained electronics in 1958, and this current version carries that history forward with a select spruce top, layered maple back and sides, rosewood fingerboard and dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. A SlimTaper 60s C neck profile and 24.75" scale provide comfortable playing dimensions, while independent volume and tone controls with CTS potentiometers offer direct control over each pickup. Gold hardware, a floating rosewood bridge and Frequensator split trapeze tailpiece complete the Broadway’s traditional archtop presentation.

Full-Depth Hollowbody Construction Provides Lively Resonance

At the center of the Broadway’s archtop character is a select spruce top paired with layered five-ply maple back and sides in a full-size, full-depth hollow body. The construction creates a resonant foundation that responds whether the guitar is played acoustically or amplified, reinforcing its versatility for jazz, roots rock and other styles. Six-ply binding surrounds the top and back, while single-ply binding traces the f-holes for a polished presentation that complements the Broadway’s traditional hollowbody proportions.

SlimTaper 60s C Neck Supports Comfortable Playability

That resonant body is paired with a three-piece maple neck shaped to Epiphone’s SlimTaper 60s C profile, providing a comfortable feel for complex chord voicings and fluid single-note runs. Its 24.75" scale leads to a rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and 20 medium jumbo frets. Mother-of-pearl block and abalone triangle inlays add classic Broadway detail, while single-ply fingerboard binding provides a clean edge along the playing surface. Together, the familiar scale, neck profile and fingerboard dimensions balance traditional archtop design with approachable playability.

Alnico Classic PRO Humbuckers Offer Flexible Tonal Control

A pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers gives the Broadway its amplified voice, with dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup. Premium CTS potentiometers and a three-way selector keep the control layout familiar and direct, allowing players to shape the neck and bridge pickups independently or combine them as an arrangement changes. This straightforward dual-humbucker configuration complements the Broadway’s resonant hollowbody construction with flexible control suited to everything from warm chord work to articulate single-note passages.

Floating Bridge and Frequensator Tailpiece Preserve Archtop Style

The Broadway’s vintage influence continues through an adjustable floating rosewood bridge and gold Frequensator split trapeze tailpiece. Gold hardware carries the coordinated look across the guitar, joined by black Top Hat control knobs with silver inserts and a multi-ply bound pickguard bearing the Epiphone E logo. At the large clipped Dovewing headstock, five-ply binding frames a mother-of-pearl Tree of Life motif and Epiphone logo, while gold Grover Rotomatic tuners and a Graph Tech nut support dependable tuning.

Classic Broadway Design for Jazz and Beyond

The Broadway brings together full-depth hollowbody resonance, dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers and refined appointments in a design rooted in Epiphone archtop tradition. Its spruce top and layered maple construction provide a responsive foundation, while the SlimTaper 60s C neck, independent pickup controls and traditional hardware support styles ranging from jazz to roots rock and beyond. An Epiphone premium gig bag is included for protection during storage and travel. For players seeking full-size hollowbody resonance, comfortable playability and classic archtop presentation, the Epiphone Broadway hollowbody electric guitar carries its long-running design into the present.
