Ship of fools

I'll bet that if you take the metal out and change the bridge plate and re-glue that back x brace you'll have found the problem and possibly some of the other bracing may be loose also.good luck.ship PS yes it could be worth the fix and I would leave the rosette the way it is.

here you go. http://www.matsumoku.org/models/epiphone/catalogs/1974/pg3.html .ship Yes I do make a mistake or two but still isn't anything very special, it is all laminate and still not that valuable, except for memory sake. I also took the time to e-mail the original OP to let him see the catalogue that I posted.

I couldn't get the one I found to post for some unknown reason, but it sold a while back for $91.00 from that same model.Ship ..................and even if it did sit for all those years I wonder about the condition of the wood then, wouldn't you

PR-350 (Model EA35), (EA3C0), (EM35), DR-350S ( PR-350 S, Model EA05 ) DR-350 SM ( PR-350 SM, Model EO35 ), PR-350 SO ( Model EM35), PR-350 SR ( Model ER35), DR-350 S LH ( Model EASL ) PR-350SL, Model EA2T ) DR-350-12 ( MOel EA2T, PR-350-12, Model EA3T ) And these are the ones listed I have heard there actually mioght be a few more that were never listed.Ship In 2004 , Epiphone decided to rename all current PR models and designate then DR models your fav PR -350 may actually be listed under DR-200, and some were even later under the DR350's just to make it even more confusing sometimes.Ship

brianh you do know that there are about 9 different PR-350's and that they are about as far apart as you can get on some of the models, the SL model is a laminate model and thus the lower pricing.ship

Walk away, better yet run. He is asking almost as much as they were when they were new for that model. The Blue Book suggests around $200.00 for one in excellent shape, so that usually translates to around $150.00 on the real market. The PR -350 from the early 2000's were a touch more like the PR-350SM's, or the SO's or the SR's as these were all solid guitars, most ot the early PR's were a laminate guitar.Ship

ledhed you are going to have to post pictures as the only PR-720S that I recall was from the early 92's, don't you hate it when they reuse a model number for a limited edition and then don't list info on it.Ship

Its also possible that you shaved to much of the bone saddle and didn't have enough of a break angle left to give you enough bottom end sometimes we just need to have a higher string space to get the sound we want, I am a firm beleiver that you shouldn't always follow the norm when it coems to string heights at the 12 fret and that you really need to experiment with a guitar for several years to find that right sound for it. So it could be that or your guitar just doesn't like bone and works better with tusq or plastic to generate enough vibration to get the lows you are looking for.Ship

Its definetly the wrong label and the wrong model number the Ft series for that model should have had a rosewood back and side with a spruce top, yours has a flamed maple ( very pretty by the way ) so its going to be hard to give you a value. But most of the FT series run about $250 in excellent shape down to $125-175 in average shape, so you got yourself a nice deal, looks like from about the mid 70's, very nice guit you have there hope you play the you know what out of her.Ship
