Kerry Keenan, the current owner, wrote us November 2014: ” It’s a long story but my father worked for the Epiphone company from the late 40’s until they moved away from New York area in the early 50’s. When I was born, the Stathopoulos family gave him this guitar as a gift. It was always treated as “sacred” in our family so it’s only been played a handful of times and has been in its original case pretty much the whole time.”
