1968 Epiphone FT-79 Texan Cherry Red
Couldn't load pickup availability
This perfect playing 1968 Epiphone FT-79 C (Cherry Red) has just arrived from the family of its original owner! It's a spectacular playing example with deep rumbly Kalamazoo round shoulder tone that will be rock solid for any player. It's 100% ready to play and requires nothing more than a proud owner.
Measurements: 4.4 lbs / 2 kg total weight. The neck measures 1.58" (1 9/16") wide at the nut and 0.58" deep at the 1st fret (medium profile).
Originality: All finish and parts are 100% original except for the installed reproduction tuners (originals in the case). A professional bridge reglue and neck reset was just performed for optimum playability and reliability.
Playability: Excellent! The action is perfect, the neck is straight, and the tone is that classic rumbly loud round should sound.
Condition: Excellent! It's very clean but has some light fading of the Cherry stain and light finish checking.
Included: The original hang tag and chip board case are included.
Fine Print: All guitars ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for domestic sales or FedEx Priority International. I offer a 48 hour approval period beginning on delivery for all sales during which you are welcome to opt for a return as long as the guitar is still in as-sent condition. I do not charge a restocking fee, but any non-refunded payment processing fees, outbound shipping, and return shipping costs are subtracted from the refund in the case of a return.

Fender Stratocasters: Better with a Hardtail?
There is something different about a Fender Stratocaster that's been lovingly played and cherished for half a century. My favorite Stratocaster we've been fortunate enough to have in the shop this year, and frankly one of my favorite guitars of all time was a 1960 Fender Stratocaster in sunburst. Sounds boring right? Well, this Strat has a trick up its sleeve. It left the factory with a "Hardtail" configuration.
