Members gitnoob Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Epiphone? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Epiphone-El-Dorado-FT-350-Acoustic-Guitar-MIJ-/120651463282?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c17633a72#ht_830wt_1139 FWIW, there were a zillion Asian Gibson-esque guitars that could match as well.

Members boxorox Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 The bridge shape... Somewhat like a Guild... I recall seeing similar profile on an import of note, not a Tak... Ibanez, Alvarez maybe? Can anyone bring up the graphic on the PG with clarity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kujozilla Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Lots of guitars from that era. No way to really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Judging from the p/g decoration, perhaps a Kasuga...one of many generic Pacific Rim imports from the '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members diddybow Posted November 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 That looks like it:cool: I played that until the frets were gone. That pic is from around '75-'76. never did get it refretted. I brought it to the pawn shop , I think I got $25. It was unplayable due to the fret grooves to the fretboard, had a really nice "voice".

Members boxorox Posted November 29, 2010 Members Share Posted November 29, 2010 Ha! I had a Kasuga banjo back then. It was pretty OK. All I'll add is that the bridge has a unique shape to it. Keep your eye out for pics of something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted November 29, 2010 Members Share Posted November 29, 2010 I've never seen a Kasuga. Very interesting bridge on that, what appears to be the adjustable screw-in saddle and the pins that follow the lower contour of the bridge rather than being straight across. I've seen many a adjustable saddle, but never seen pin holes drilled like elliptically like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordchunker Posted November 29, 2010 Members Share Posted November 29, 2010 Stick it on ebay and put "Lawsuit Era!!" in the description and watch the price jump to at least 20% more than it`s worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
