Can anyone give me any info on this guitar. I have seen one on the cover of a Sacred Steel album. Other than that the only references I have found on the net are to 3 instruments in Australia (one for sale on Ebay). The model is "Centurion" but I can't find any serial number.

It looks very much like the Epiphone Zephyr made just before WW2. Maybe Epiphone made instruments for export with a different name or licensed other companies to produce similar instruments. Just a guess.

Sutton Centurion lap steel guitar.

I got a little excited when I searched the forum for the Sutton Centurion, now I realise this is a very old post. It also appears any photos have now gone.
I have the opportunity to buy this guitar, but so far have not found out anything about it, or any idea of value.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
If this topic is now dormant I will post anew in due course.

Sorry about the duplication. I hit submit, nearly 20 mins later submit was still there, so I hit it again.
Admin, please delete one or if I can, please let me know how.
