Early 1940s Epiphone Zephyr serial number 7133– Klunker #3 (Est. $14,000 - $16,000). Blonde, electric trap door model arch top with two chicken head knobs, one volume and one a toggle switch, with bard door opening in the back and Paul’s aluminum support system which led him to use solid body construction.
