Epiphone / FT-210 Deluxe Cutaway / 1954 / Blonde / Guitar For Sale
Rare 1954 Epiphone FT-210 Deluxe Cutaway – Blonde
Step into the golden age of acoustic engineering with the 1954 Epiphone FT-210 Deluxe Cutaway. This model is presented as a “last hurrah” from the pre-Gibson era, before Epiphone was acquired by Gibson in 1957, and is described as a rival to the Gibson SJ-200.
Key features (as described):
• Massive 17 3/8" lower bout
• Solid spruce top with ladder bracing
• Arched curly maple “Tone Back” designed to project sound
• Mother-of-pearl “Cloud” inlays and ornate “Flower” headstock
• Original list price noted as $320.00 in 1954
This example, serial #67729, is described as being in excellent condition, which is notable since the original 8-ply binding and pickguards are known to be prone to deterioration. It also features a compensated rosewood saddle and a secondary serial label inside the top.
