11 Jul 04 - 01:43 PM (#1223359) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: Once Famous The Frontier was a square shouldered model, somewhat like the Gibson Dove or Hummingbird. The Texas was similiar to the Gibson J-45. Shame it just sits in the case. These axes are meant to be played and heard. |

12 Jul 04 - 09:56 AM (#1223829) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: Big Mick This thread reminds me of the first guitar I bought on my own. Epiphone FT-79, in a cherry sunburst. I knew I was fated to be a musician when it ended up in a pawn shop. LOL. Mick |

13 Jul 04 - 08:01 PM (#1224990) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: GUEST Big Mick, The secound acoustic guitar I bought and still play is an FT 79! She still sounds great. She has mellowed nicely for nearly 35 years. I love the bass and balanced mid and high strings, can't beat an adjustable bridge and a decent set of well broke in strings...don't forget about fried chicken and getting the bright out of new strings.

13 Jul 04 - 08:56 PM (#1225021) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: Big Mick Damn, Peter. I must play that dude when I see you next. I have looked for a mid 60's FT79 in a cherry sunburst for years. All the best, Mick |

24 Jul 04 - 05:10 PM (#1233006) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: GUEST Hi! I have an Epiphone Frontier Acoustic with the ropes and cactus on the pick guard. I bought it is 1964-5 and I would like to sell it. I do not know how much it would go for. It had some cracks on the front but I had it repaired. It still sounds great. It has a lousy case. Any ideas on how much it would go for on ebay? |

26 Jul 04 - 11:36 AM (#1233963) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: GUEST,Ruth Anne...........(Guest......Vermont USA) I have been researching this epiphone frontier: so far this is whhat I have got: it was built by Gibson during the time Ted McCarty was president of the company (1948-66). It was designed to compete with the Martin and is a maple-bodied square shouldered dreadnought. This is the info: Frontier model, FT110 (FT=flat topand by checking the serial number: #130502, I determined it was made in 1963.Anyway< my e-mail is RAHLB@aol.com in USA. I am needing to figure out a price for the instrument as I want to sellit like I said. The finish is original and somewhat distressed at this point. It has had some interior work done to at least stabilize some cracking on front but finish was never touched. |

01 Aug 08 - 06:13 PM (#2403308) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: GUEST,Mark I have a 1962 Epiphone Frontier FT110. It is the best playing guitar I have ever played on. Not to mention the sound is unmatchable. It had a rough life before I picked it up. The binding is very fragile and needs to be replaced. I can take pictures if anyone is interested. A great guitar with some character in need of a good home. Times are rough and I need the money unfortunetely. Contact me at my email mckinneymac@msn.com Thanks, Mark |

14 Feb 09 - 01:15 AM (#2566534) Subject: RE: Epiphone Frontier Acoustic From: Big0 Hi: Mine is a FT-110N ser # 4398 .Made in Kalamazoo. Can anyone shed some light on how old this one is? It iis maple back and sides and pretty beat up,cracks,etc. The story is that I played this gtr. 20 years ago and couldn`t put it down.Mind you I have had some amazing guitars in the last 45 years I have been playing...but this was special; the action and tone were precisely what I have been looking for. So two weeks my buddy calls me up and tells his sister is liquidating Well,she wasn`t giving it away [$1800] but I could restrain myelf enough even to dicker...so now here it it and here is where it stays. |
