My Epiphone FT145 Acoustic guitar was purchased in 1970 new and made in Japan (Blue Label ) Serial no. check on true vintage came up with a 1991 Manufacture, lol. I have been the only owner of this guitar so I know where and when I bought it ,however I have seen so much misinformation on forums claiming to have info I decided to input my info and see for myself. Important to remember to record and date this info when considering end of life wishes when handing over to the next generation or selling your instrument.
