This might be one of the coolest Epiphone Masterbilt Olympics that I've come across! It is the only example I've ever seen with a white finish, and judging from all the playwear and patina, it was likely refinished by the original owner not long after it left the factory. This is the most desirable version with the same specifications as David Rawlings' Olympic- small 13 5/8" wide body and segmented f holes. This one also features a beautiful pearloid headstock overlay that was only used in 1933. 

It has been fully restored by our neighbors at Braxton and Hyde, all you have to do is tune it up and play. The work includes a neck reset, refret, heel repair, and new saddle top. All the hardware is original including tuners, pickguard, and tailpiece. The playability is perfect thanks to the fresh neck reset and refret. The tone is dry, punchy, and mid rangey with lots of note separation like you would expect from a small body Epiphone. It works perfectly for playing lead and cuts through the mix. This is a super cool and rare Olympic from the best era for Epiphone archtops.
