Recently picked up an Epiphone FT-140. Checked with Gibson and the reply about the serial number was that they didn't keep good records back then, so unsure about age etc.
I took it to a guitar shop to adjust a couple of things and they guessed 1972-1974. It looks brand new.
However, I notice many photos with the Epiphone stylized "E" on the pick guard. This one does not have that. Does the missing "E" indicate anything???
The guitar is from the Made in Japan Norlin era, according to the sticker inside the body.
Serial: 11791135
