A Great Epiphone Classic: The Archtop Heritage Updated

For decades, the Broadway has embodied the grand tradition of hollow-body jazz guitars. This version retains the "archtop" DNA that made it famous while adopting modern, reliable stage-ready features: versatile humbucker pickups, Graph Tech nut, and quality tuners. The result is a guitar with a timeless look, designed for rich and expressive tones.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

The Epiphone Broadway is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a true full hollow archtop, but it remains accessible if you are starting jazz with a serious and comfortable instrument. It excels in jazz (comping, extended chords, smooth solos) but is also very comfortable in blues, swing, roots rock, and any genres where a full, dynamic, and "woody" sound is desired.

The Sound

Its laminated maple body (back/sides) brings clarity and stability, with a precise response ideal for chords. The selected spruce top enhances openness and projection, delivering the lively character typical of archtops. Plugged in, the pair of Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers offers a warm and articulate tone: a round, velvety neck pickup for jazz lines, and a sharper bridge pickup to cut through the mix. With 2 volume and 2 tone controls, you can easily adjust brightness, softness, and attack according to your playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This Broadway comes with a hard case, so you are ready for transport and protection. For the rest (strings, strap, stand), compatibility depends on your preferences and exact sizes; it's best to choose on a case-by-case basis.
