A mid-1950s Epiphone FT-79. I really can't say why this one. I have had it a long time but it is far from the best sounding guitar I own. There is just something about this guitar that gets to me. When I found it the original pickguard had been removed and replaced by a thick homemade double thing held in place by ten screws, the binding had popped off in several places, the end pin was broken off, and the bikini logo was dangling from one brad. It is presently sitting at the shop getting a put off way too long and and well deserved facelift.
