Vintage Epiphone FT-145 Texan full-size dreadnought acoustic guitar. Made in Japan in the 1970s at the legendary Matsumoku factory, famous for producing instruments with excellent tone and incredible mojo.
This particular guitar features a unique, factory-original heel-less bolt-on neck. It has a very slim, comfortable profile that plays and feels remarkably like a fast electric guitar neck.
IMPORTANT STRUCTURAL NOTE: Many 1970s Epiphones suffer from a cracked or caving internal neck block. The neck block on this guitar has been fully inspected and is completely solid, uncracked, and perfectly stable. The neck angle is excellent, the action is good, and it plays smoothly up and down the neck.
