f_kirkland Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The guitar right up front at the left is the one in question. The picture was taken in 1966 or 1967. Thanks a lot in advance and sorry if I'm way off. (Don't mean to offend any guitar experts.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionMark Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It definitely is a Texan shaped pickguard on it. However, the fretboard seems to be kind of wider than normal for a 6 string and when I enlarge the photo on my iPhone it looks like what appears to be doubled up strings on bridge....which would mean its a 12 string guitar. So it’s not a Texan. The E on the pickguard makes it an Epiphone. The photo appears to show a 60’s vibe, so I would have to guess that the guitar might be a Epiphone FT 85 Serenader 12 string, which was made from 1963-69 in Kalamazoo, next to where Gibson’s were being made. Serenaders were 12 string guitars and had mahogany backs and sides and were natural not sunburst and had for inlays. That’s my best.
