Nuffy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on an old Epi acoustic I've had for years. It's a little beat up but plays beautifully still. any info on this model would be appreciated, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It looks like it could be an FT-120. Some better pics would be helpful. Does it have a bolt neck or set neck? Any label on the inside at all? http://www.epiphonewiki.com/index.php?title=FT-Series#FT-120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 More information would certainly help but I am gonna guess because of the burst it is a 1970s FT-130. I have never seen an FT-120 with anything other than natural top. Does not mean they are not there - just that I have never run across one.

Nuffy Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks for your help do far guys. I'll post up more and better pics tonight. Is it of any value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Not particularly. Its an older Japanese Epiphone, most likely with a bolt neck. They arent considered valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yup FT120/130/135, depending on bling and which way the wind blew. FOr a very brief time, less than a year in 1971/72 it was known as the 6732, an Aria designation(Matsumoku) Worth maybe hunnert bucks, if in good repair.

Nuffy Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks for the info, not worried about its value as I never look to selling any of my collection. Curiousity just got the better of me. I'm always interested in the more obscure guitars I never see around. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
