1960 Epiphone Century E422T, Serial #851027
Your 1960 Epiphone Century E422T with serial number 851027 is a classic thinline, fully hollow-body guitar built at the famous Kalamazoo, Michigan factory under Gibson ownership.
The Epiphone E422T Century was a direct Epiphone-branded counterpart to the Gibson ES-125T. It was designed as an affordable yet professional working musician's instrument.
Body: Fully hollow thin-line, arched laminated maple top and back, single cutaway.
Neck: Mahogany with a rosewood fretboard and dot inlays.
Electronics: Features a single P-90 pickup (with a white or cream cover) controlled by one master volume and one master tone pot.
Hardware & Aesthetics: Distinctive 1950s/60s Epiphone cosmetics include the metal "bikini" headstock logo and an epsilon "E" logo on the raised pickguard.
Authenticity and Dating
During the early 1960s (circa 1960–1961), Epiphone serial numbering systems were transitional as Gibson absorbed the brand. A serial number format like 851027 usually points toward 1961 production, but it is common for these instruments to share features with earlier 1960 releases. The easiest way to verify the exact build year is by cross-referencing the factory order numbers, pot codes (the numbers stamped on the back of the volume/tone pots), and headstock features.
