Description Brand: Epiphone String Configuration: 6 String Model: FT-79 Soundboard Style: Flat Top Body Type: Dreadnought Exact Year: 1965 Dexterity: Right-Handed
1965 Texan with a 1-5/8ths inch nut width. The nut was recently replaced with a new bone nut with the spacing slightly widened to give the maximum width for the neck. Also has new bone bridge pins, both original nut and bridge pins are included. Rosewood bridge with an adjustable saddle, this one being ceramic. The neck is similar to all Gibson made guitars of the 60s, narrow and fairly thin. The 1-5/8ths inch nut width is the more desirable, with many Texans having a 1-9/16ths inch nut. The guitar is in good overall shape with the normal finish checking. In addition, there are a lot of scratches to the finish on the back, likely from a belt buckle. There was also an improperly placed jack hole on the back of the guitar near the end block. The previous owner had that hole patched and repaired--by Gryphon Strings who also replaced the nut--and is now barely visible. The guitar sounds amazing and is very comfortable to play. Comes in a new hard case.
