USA (Gibson Bozeman Factory) Epiphone Frontier $2800

[Dave Yeats]

USA-made (in Bozeman, Montana at the Gibson Factory) Epiphone Frontier. Very similar to the Gibson Dove (square-shoulder, maple back and sides). This one is the same guitar as the Chris Stapleton Signature Model. (Only difference is this has one pickguard and his has two.) All the Country AND Western bling you could ever want: "Frontier Burst" finish, subtle flame in the maple, gold hardware, slotted rectangle fretboard inlays, multi-ply binding, and the best part is the engraved lariat and cactus pickguard. Really incredible and stage-ready with the Baggs powered pickup system (volume and tone controls inside the sound hole). This one is a fine player, just can't keem 'em all. Comes with elephant gray Epiphone-branded original case with all the original paperwork and such inside.

Retail: $4499, Reverb price $2999

AGF price: $2800 shipped.

A Rare Epiphone Acoustic, Once Again Made in the USA
Gibson manufactured the original Epiphone Frontier in its Kalamazoo factory from 1958 until 1970. Now the FT-110 Frontier is being made in the USA once again, and is proudly handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s finest acoustic luthiers. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid figured maple back and sides, Indian rosewood fretboard, traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, gold-plated Gotoh Keystone tuners, the iconic "lariat and cactus" themed pickguard, and a 25.5” scale length for a powerful tone. It comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs VTC pickup, so it is stage and studio-ready, right out of the included hardshell case. Available in Antique Natural and Frontier Burst.
