...The last thing you want is an early 70's Epiphone acoustic. The first series of Matsumoku-made acoustics came along in 1971 and was called the "FT" series and the first models were heel-less bolt-on necks (actually all Japanese Epiphone acoustics were bolt-on but some models had a heel which made them appear to be actual set-necks) on dipped in plastic ply-wood boxes. ...Nelson

 

While not as desirable as some. The FTs have a very lovely tone... as long as their necks stay in place and / or the right repairs are made.

 

These NO's Were they lam back and sides? Were the upscale models carved from solid? This is remaniscent of the ancient Gibson model "O", which I lust after just because it looks so cool. Some say the "O" was dead as a door nail tone wise but who can resist that HUGE Scroll?
