Description
Made in 1951 in Epiphone’s New York factory, this 16” mini-jumbo Epiphone FT-79 is a seldom seen model from Epiphone’s pre-Gibson era. Sporting a flat solid Spruce top, with solid Maple sides, and a laminate arched Maple back, this FT-79 has a strong, clear, and full tone. With a scale length of 25 5/8”, this guitar rewards a player with a powerful, throaty rumble that remains focused and tight in the bass and lower mids. With plenty of volume to drive a band, and very natural feeling playing dynamics, this rare 1951 Epiphone FT-79 is truly a hidden gem.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
