Vintage Gear America is pleased to offer this extremely nice example of an all-original 1964 Epiphone FT-79 Texan serial number 157084 with original hang tag/owners' manual and grey case. Beautiful stupid clean fine guitar instrument just a few points below a 10, has typical and unavoidable warping and cracking of the original phenolic adjustable bridge and ceramic saddle slight chip at one end. The guitar is 100% and in spite of the usually problematic bridge the guitar plays and sounds fantastic with a super nice comfy C shaped wide neck and factory large frets with no wear, perfectly straight neck with a working truss rod, recently adjusted. Sunburst finish on top has just a few weather checks, none on back, no fading of color, strong sunburst very attractive. No buckle wear on back no pressure marks or scratches, the guitar has a few minor little dings but otherwise showroom perfect like to day it was made. Comes with original hangtag/owner’s manual with dealer price and original grey case. John Nelson’s is a professional musician, vintage guitar and vintage gear expert with many years of experience.

We ship USPS Priority and Fed Ex Ground next business day, all instruments are carefully packed utilizing new shipping materials, all instruments are insured by Heritage Insurance. All parcels are flat rate shipped and are the same price for all buyers in the domestic USA, international shipping is also flat rate for anywhere in the world. The price is based on the cost of new shipping materials, boxes, bubble wrap, tape and labor and has nothing to do with where you are or your ability to pick it up in person. It is not in our business model to offer in person demonstrations of instruments or in person pickup, both of these things take an employee and extra time. If you have a limit as to what you want to spend on shipping please factor this into you instrument offer as we accept reasonable offers on most items. If an item doesn’t allow a lower offer it’s because it’s already been discounted and already at its lowest price. We recommend that you don’t chose an instrument based on shipping cost alone as there are more important issues all of which we have well covered. I might point out that all of our guitars come with professional detailing and set up, this has real value and keeps one from getting inferior work from an unqualified retail establishment. Thanks for your understanding. John Russell Nelson owner VGA Vintage Gear America
