Hey Gang! Another RARE one for ya - 1963 Epiphone FT110N Frontier in Sunburst finish! It's a sleeper, a One Owner Guitar, and we are more than impressed by the sound of it. Heated arguments have occurred over whether this guitar is the best sounding acoustic this shop has seen or coming in at an admirable 2nd place. The moment you strum it, you'll know right away this stands out. Incredibly ornate with the western-style pickguard with lasso and cactus!
On the obvious topic, we are in a pickle whether this was factory refinished in a sunburst, but never finished with gloss or done through a private party. It blacklights nitrocellulose up and down the entire body, neck, and headstock, but there is a flat like feel and look to it. We are unsure. What we are sure of is it was originally a FT110N (Natural) as seen on the label. Another thing to note as you'll see in the photos, we noticed is has a small crack on the back of the neck, but is of no structural concern. It does have some wear here and there; some slight splitting on some of the binding (please see photos) although nothing too major or in need of repair. No body cracks or pickguard damage either. It is showing some heavy divot wear at the 1st fret (see photos), but does not effect playability. He must've been bending that B string something wicked in his day. Plays wonderful and sounds out of this world! A lot of boom, and very articulate. Every note is heard the way it should be.
Apart from that, it is all original with all original hardware. Comes with a hardshell non original case.
