Obtained at Christmas, 1974, this Vintage "Epiphone FT-165, No. BARD", Classic Twelve String Acoustic Guitar is a true gem in the world of musical instruments!  It has been loved and well-cared for throughout my ownership of it, and no damage of any kind exists on it!  I have kept the strings loose when the guitar was not being used to prevent any warping to the arm, as the strings on a tuned 12 string guitar can apply ample constant pressure to warp the arm.  Its accompanying four clousure cloth-lined black case with a plush yellow cloth lining only has two 'easily repariable' scrapes (see last pic. close-ups).  A cool strap, two picks, and cleaning/polishing cloth (in the cases interior compartment) will accompany the purchase.  With its beautiful design and high-quality craftsmanship, it is sure to impress any musician or collector; I recently saw this guitar in an antique shop priced at $1,000.00!. Made by the renowned brand Epiphone, this guitar is part of their Vintage series and features a classical body type and a 12 string configuration (one string is missing). It has been well-maintained and is in great playing condition, producing rich and melodious tones. Whether you are a seasoned musician or a beginner, this guitar is the perfect addition to your collection.
