lucille64 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I found one of these in a pawn shop. He wants 200 for it. It has had the neck re-glued but it looks solid, plays good Couldn't really find a topic with this model in the header I always liked maple bodied jumbo box instruments. Had a wonderful 1973 Guild F50 once that was a killer guitar, wish I never sold that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucille64 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cliff, thanks that is some really good information. I think I might see if he will take 175 for it. Even if it needs a little TLC it might be worth it if for other reason, give me something to do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffmac Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 As long as its in good shape no cracks or any neck issues I'd be all over it, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger11 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have a Terada model that looks very similar from I think the same era maybe even from the same factory and it sounds fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el capitan Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Plywood,but the sheer size of the box will sound OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljams Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 What you have there is a jewel and $200 not a horrible price. I buy up every one of those pre Norlin blue labels I can find. Several of the ones I'll keep forever were snapped up in that price range, and I would love to run across a Jumbo. For the money, the old FT's are some of the best sounding knock around guitars out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
