Epiphone T-310 T-Style Electric Guitar – Gloss Red
The Epiphone T-310 is one of the more unusual and collectible import-era Epiphone models, combining classic single-cutaway T-style design with unmistakable Epiphone personality. Produced primarily during the late ’80s and ’90s in Korea, the T-310 was Epiphone’s answer to the growing popularity of affordable Fender-style guitars, offering familiar T-Style-inspired looks and tones with Gibson-owned Epiphone branding and styling.
Finished in gloss red, this example captures the unmistakable vibe of the era — straightforward construction, simple controls, and a no-frills working-player aesthetic. Unlike a traditional Fender T-Style, the T-310 features Epiphone’s distinctive headstock design, giving the guitar a unique identity that has helped these models develop a cult following among fans of quirky ’90s import guitars. Later examples were fitted with the recognizable “batwing” headstock design seen on many Korean-made Epiphones of the period.
The T-310 follows the traditional formula with a dual single-coil setup, 3-way selector, master volume and tone controls, and string-through-body bridge construction. Tonally, it delivers the bright attack, snap, and punch expected from a T-style guitar, making it a great fit for country, indie, punk, garage rock, blues, and classic rock tones. Players on Epiphone forums and Reddit often describe these guitars as surprisingly comfortable with easy-playing necks and solid overall feel despite their original budget-oriented price point.
Like many Korean-made Epiphones from this era, the T-310 was built as an affordable instrument rather than a high-end collector piece. Some examples used laminated body construction, but these guitars have become increasingly appreciated for their retro charm, mod potential, and distinctive place in Epiphone history.
Cosmetically, the bold red finish pairs perfectly with the classic blackguard-style layout, giving the guitar a strong vintage import aesthetic that stands out from standard T-Style copies. It’s the kind of guitar that feels equally at home in a garage band, rehearsal room, or vintage import collection.
