felix1049 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm going to list an old 12 string Epiphone for sale, but for the life of me I can't identify which Epiphone it is. I'm guessing it's probably something from the late 60's to early 70's but I don't believe it's a Texan. Lower end guitar that I put some electronics into and had reset. Black head stock, three rosette's around the sound hole. There is no tag on the guitar and I can't find a serial number anywhere. Here's a couple of pics I took. Does anybody know what model this is?

felix1049 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 In looking at the info I can find on the 6834, I notice some slight variances of the one I've got versus what I can find on the internet. First, on the tuners they show on the 6834, they all show them as having the plastic tuning knobs, while the one I have are all chrome tuners I know the tuners have not been changed The second difference is they show them as having the 3 piece bolt on neck with a plate on the back of the guitar stock photo while mine has no such plate back of mine the tuners are relatively minor, but an access plate to the neck is fairly significant any idea why there might be such variance?

RaysEpiphone Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wow! What a sweet guitar! I've got 2 Texan's (used to have 3) and the older's ones sound great, the tops have a tendency to bow up and the bridge's can crap-out on them but still nice guitar's! Why are you getting rid of it?

Too many guitars! I just bought a Jumbo Guild 12 string and that's why I'm selling it. It's in great condition and I had a Fishman SGT professionally installed so it can be used with an amplifier. I love the guitar but got a ridiculous price on the Guild and couldn't pass it up. If you're interested in it (or know anybody who is), drop me an email enigmatroll@yahoo.com. It's a sweet guitar.

RaysEpiphone Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Oh, well a nice Guild is a sweet step up from a Epiphone! I can see why you want to get rid of it, wish I had money I'd buy it just to go with my other one's. Good luck guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 How about this one? http://www.epiphonew...T-Series#FT-365 FT-365. Still Japanese-made, but with a set neck and higher quality than the 6834. Very similar at a glance, though. EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure if this is a set neck guitar. There may be neck bolts on the inside of the body on this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Here's a > > 1974 Catalog < < Click on the page with the 165, et.al. The 'fixed' neck was bolted and glued in place. Reportedly, the nuts/bolt heads are visible through the sound hole. The bolts go through the neck block. The cheaper versions with 'adjusable' neck had four #12 wood screws coming in from the back, under the triangular shaped plate. The 6XXX model number nomenclature was very short lived, less than a year. The model number nomemclature resurrected the FT prefix numbers. There are a few duplications of FT numbers used from the 60's and before in these 70's, Norlin offerings. This is more likely a FT365, but 6XXX numbering is not out of the question.
