"Zephyr Regent Deluxe" on label but this 18" cutaway Blonde Electric Emperor is not a Deluxe at all but is most likely a 1 of a kind Emperor as it has 2 New Yorker pickups unlike all other Emperors which hav 3 pickups & a 5 button Push/Push control panel.
This Emperor however has only 2 pickups- a more desirable situation-with a simple 3 way switch much like the typical Zephyr Regent Deluxe does. Otherwise it is a gorgeous blonde Emperor with wildly intense curly Maple back, sides and neck, typical Emperor appointments such as Flowery vine inlaid in peghead, rectangular pearl block inlays with triangular abalone insert, Frequensator tailpiece, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, 2 white octagonal knobs, the 3 way switch has been replaced with a newer one, has been refretted- fretsare 'okay', original Brown hard case, vgc+
