This is a late 1960s specification guitar made at the Kalamazoo factory, where Gibson acoustic guitars were also produced.
Epiphone / FT-79 Cherry Red
This is a rare color "Cherry Red" guitar, which was produced for only 3 years from 1967 to 1969, just like Gibson.
Cherry Red has a different faded color nowadays and has its own face.
It is a beautiful color that gives a sense of the history of each piece.
This one is a superb example with a beautiful light reddish-brown color, glossy and austere, and full of dignity.
The pickguard is screwed down, the bridge is upper belly adjustable, the saddle is made of wood, and the round shoulder is in its final stage.
There was a J-45 Cherry Red of the same year, so we compared it with this one,
It is very strange that the sound is different from Gibson's of the same age, even though they are made in the same factory, the same wood material, and the design is almost the same.
The basic premise is, of course, that the scale is longer than that of the J-45, but this one is characterized by a somewhat rustic and woody tone. However, you can still enjoy the vintage sound.
The Beatles' "Yesterday," one of the most famous Texan songs, was played in a whole note down tuning, which is a well-known episode.
Epiphone is still an indispensable brand that supports acoustic users all over the world, and the spirit of New York craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation.
It is a rare opportunity to experience a page in the history of Epiphone.
The serial range is 1970, but the specifications are from around 1968.
