The 'Pick Epiphone' folder, although dated 1971, was filled with inserts printed as early as late 1970, and as late as 1972. This insert comes from the second series printed in 1971, and uses the new Epiphone model designation FT-165 Deluxe , and new guitar image. This sheet replaces the 1970 version for the #6834. Note the addition of the Epiphone 'E' logo on the scratchplate and truss rod cover.

This guitar is now offered with Hard Shell case, H-25 at an additional $45 (June 1972).
