Description

Discover the timeless allure of the Epiphone FT-50, a remarkable piece of musical history that combines vintage charm with exceptional craftsmanship. This steel-string acoustic guitar is a rare gem, celebrated for its historical significance and rich, resonant sound. Originally crafted in the early 1940s, this model was designed during a period when Epiphone was vying for a share of the steel-string market, standing shoulder to shoulder with giants like Gibson and Martin. The FT-50's scarcity adds to its allure, making it a sought-after treasure among collectors and musicians alike.

The FT-50 features a solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, delivering a warm, balanced tone with impressive projection. The cherry neck is smooth and comfortable, while the unbound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays offers a classic playing experience. A unique tortoiseshell celluloid binding and pickguard add a touch of vintage elegance. Notably, the guitar boasts a period-correct adjustable thrust rod, a testament to its durability and adaptability over decades of use.

Whether you're a collector seeking a piece of history or a musician in search of a guitar with authentic character and voice, the Epiphone FT-50 is a standout choice. Its enduring craftsmanship ensures it holds its own in intimate settings or as the centerpiece of your collection.
