1960s FT-79 Cherry Red

This is a late 1960's specs model from the Kalamazoo factory where Gibson acoustic guitars were also produced.

Epiphone / FT-79 Cherry Red

This guitar is "Cherry Red", a rare color that was produced for only 3 years from 1967 to 1969, just like Gibson.
Cherry Red" is a rare color that was produced for only three years from 1967 to 1969, just like Gibson's. Cherry Red has a different faded appearance today, and has its own face.
The color is so beautiful that you can feel the history of each piece.
This one has a beautiful light reddish-brown color and is a superb gem with a lot of luster and austerity.

The pickguard is screwed down, upper belly adjustable bridge, wood saddle, and round shoulder.

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 players all over the world, and the spirit of the craftsmen in New York 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.
