I have owned this guitar for many (many) years, but I find I have too many guitars for this point in my life.

[b]Vintage Epiphone Acoustic FT-30 Caballero 1965[/b]
Epiphone
FT-30 Caballero
Serial number – 357825 - 1965
Case included (not original)
This guitar was manufactured in 1965 by Gibson in Kalamazoo, Mich. These guitars are almost identical to the Gibson B-25 or the LG series. All mahogany body with a rosewood neck. All original in good condition – original plastic bridge – good condition but starting to pull up (see pic). Mid sized guitar. Great sound leaning toward tenor and mid tone range which makes it a great blues guitar. It gets a very crisp sound as you move toward the bridge, which is nice for rhythm and harmonics -it remains musical even at the lowest bridge positions and sustains well for an acoustic. Smaller neck allows for easy playing. Vintage Guitar Price Guide of 2007, this guitar is valued between low $650 and exec $950. I have owned this guitar since the early 1970’s. Great action. Frets showing some wear. Pick guard is scratched. Scratches from pick on front. Finish on back has some belt buckle damage (see pics.) Non-smoking home.
