Description

Step back in time with the Epiphone FT-98 Troubadour, a vintage gem from the golden era of acoustic guitars. Crafted between 1963 and 1969, this steel-string acoustic is a testament to Epiphone's legacy of quality and craftsmanship. The spruce top paired with a maple body delivers a resonant, bright tone that's perfect for both strumming and fingerpicking. Its mahogany neck with a "C" shape profile offers a comfortable grip for long jam sessions, while the wide, nut width of 2 inches provides ample space for intricate play.

This Troubadour carries the stories of countless performances, evident from its well-loved appearance marked by repaired cracks and a non-original maple bridge plate. Originally fitted with a pickup system, the guitar maintains its versatility with an output jack still in place, offering a nod to modern playability without compromising its vintage charm. While the neck shows signs of limited adjustability, it remains a playable piece for those who appreciate the character and history imbued in its frets.

Whether you are a collector seeking a piece of musical history or a musician in search of an instrument with a soul, the Epiphone FT-98 Troubadour invites you to create your own legend with every chord.
