Several years ago when EPIPHONE lirst introduced is line of ELECTAR in- struments they were acclaimed as the best by the greatest artists. Since that ime many improvements have been made which have greatly enhanced the performance and appearance of these instruments which in this presentation have reached the pinnacle of present day perfection, Many improvements have been instituted by research in the EPIPHONE laboratories where every worthwhile improvement was thoroughly investi gated and perfected to make the ELECTAR instruments as fine as they ore ry .¢ new ELECTAR instruments in the better models are now fitted with the “Mastervoicer” an exclusive EPIPHONE improvement in tone controls wh enables the player-to'change the tonal quolity with any range of highs or lows conveniently in one”control and with noiseless changes. Another very im portant, development.was the, perlection ofthe exclusive EPIPHONE "Master Pickup” swith individual djustments under each string enabling the artist to set for any balance desired and permitting the substitution of various gouged stings without loss of the desired belance. The ELECTAR amplifiers have gone through a period of evolution during which many circuits and designs were developed. In presenting the ZEPHYR and CENTURY ampliliers we have what we believe to be the finest amplifiers for electronic instruments available today An exclusive design of the ZEPHYR and CENTURY amplifier cabinets wherein natural colored maple is used com- ines the finest in musical instrument and amplilier technique With the introduction of the ELECTAR GRANDE models, the Hawatian or steel guitar assumes its ultimate design and will take its rightful place in the orchestra, THIS GUARANTEE IS YOUR BPR UR A REE SC ue b. fer tor the lifetime of the hip of matertals ELECTAR amplilire are guaranteed to the original par chaser lor « period of ene year from date of sale.

Do you know of any tuning used on the Steel Guitar which enables the player to obtain any chord written, such as an augmented 9th or minor 6th, without changing the tuning? % Just imagine an instrument of this type wherein the only chord not obtainable is “The Last Chord’ and you con then picture the possibilities found only in this triumph of engineering and the instrument maker's art. ‘The VARIGHORD* is the instrument of the future and you will want to play It.

U.S Pat Ofer 0.8. 30 TTT TT a CHOICE OF THE STARS intr een to ILLUSTRATED ARE ONLY 8 OUT OF COUNTLESS POSSIBLE CHORDS The VARICHORD is built with a manual near the right hand which has a lever or stop for each seven strings. It is possible to change any one, ear several or all of its strings either sharp or flat. gt BOS | The variations on each string range from two halt N-@-@0-006008—* a tones above the eriginal or standard tuning of the feanemee Seam sere guitar to two half tones below. From this it is readily nn that 5 different tones are available on eat sting! The great advantage in this instrument lies in the ability to play chords in tune, This is possible be. cause it is no longer necessary to play the bar in the slant position. When the bar is slanted on the stee! guitar, the bar line does not intersect «: exactly at the junction of the string and fre ri little cbove or below and maki ther string charp er flat. This naturally results in dant chords which every discriminating musician objects to. Another advantage lies in not being limited to playing in cne key only With the VARICHORD the movement of one lever or stop aliects the chordal formations and with a change ol one~or_severdl tops can be played in any key Shown at right is a series 6f didgrdimiilatic’ ius trations of the manual with relative positions of the levers in several of the most detired or used-chords The circles on the lines represent:the’stops or lever handles; the lines reprecent positions of the stope on (heavy) represents Position. The double line above the manual representa the goneral roleaso which is immediately adjacent to the manual on the VARICHORD and which when pressed releases the stepa (levers) and the tuning by rotumed the E7th which is the normal tuning of instrument. Each line above N-N represents a half tone flat while each line below N-N represents c helf-tone sharp, The VARICHORD is fitied with seven strings and tuned to E7th.

In appearance it is the Hawaiian guitar of the future. While the appearance of the new ZEPHYR and CENTURY outfits leave nothing to be desired, from the artistic and utilitarian viewpoints there was much to be done to incorporate the instrument and ampli- fier into one pleasing whole when assembled which was practical for transportation and portability After countless experiments the Electar Grande was developed which combines every feature so de- sired by the greatest professionals.
