Description Brand: Gibson
Here is a 1964 Epiphone Serenader FT-85 12 Strings. This guitar was made as a Gibson B25-12 but for authorizing more than one dealer in some areas Gibson had the idea of using the Epiphone name. It is 100% the same guitar as the Gibson model and was made by the same luthier at the Kalamazoo factory in the mid-50's. They are getting hard to find in such a good condition. This one has a few minor dings and is in excellent condition. The action is low and the sound is mellow. The perfect 12 strings. John Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas used a Epiphone FT-85 12 Strings for the guitar intro on the famous song ''California Dreamin' ''. The same model was also used on the famous song ''San Francisco(Wear some flowers in your hairs)''.
