Aoresteen Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 This has been on my to do list since April. I got my last FT 000 guitar back from the shop and wanted to do a family photo. Here are my FT 000 guitars, all Norlin era from the 70's From left to right: 6732, 6832, FT-135. All have had the adjustable bridges removed, bridge filled, re-slotted. and bone saddles installed. All have Fishman Matrix Infinity pickups installed. And I bought them all new hardshell cases :) . The 6732 is set up for DADGAD. Strings are: 1 D 0.013 Plain 2 A 0.018 Plain 3 G 0.024 Wound 4 D 0.032 Wound 5 A 0.042 Wound 6 D 0.056 Wound Sounds great. The 6832 & FT-135 are in standard tuning with D'Addario EJ11 Lite .012-.053 strings.

The 6732 looks almost new but the bridge was pulled up way high. I also have a FT-165 12 string that was a basket case as well. She wanted to be in the photo! The Ft-165 got the same re-build efforts & a hard shell case. The FT-165 rebuild: http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/83255-epiphone-ft-165-12-string/ All in all, I love the sound of my 000 guitars. The dreadnought size FT-165 rings like a bell as well.
