Epiphone FT-120 Excellente 1966 – a true holy grail acoustic guitar for players and collectors
The Epiphone FT-120 Excellente were the most expensive Gibson produced guitars when new in the 1960’s and were designed to be an ornate Gibson/Epiphone version of Martin’s famous pre-war herringbone D-28.
An absolutely stunning guitar and very rare is this one – total production from 1963 to 1969 was only 139.
Spruce top, rosewood back and sides, bound Ebony fingerboard with cloud inlays and inlaid headstock. This guitar is all original and in great vintage condition, without any repairs. It comes with the original case (with Gibson logo).
What can we say about the sound? … this really is a holy grail guitar in every aspect. We’ve never heard anything quite like it. Big, open, very proud … just incredibly good sounding. This guitar has great dynamic, projection and sustain.
This rare and historically significant guitar is stunning in every aspect and if you want a vintage flat top that none of your friends have – this is the one to buy.
Vintage Guitar World, Germany 
Vintage Guitar World was founded out of a deep passion for guitar playing and the lifelong search for truly special sound. For us, selling guitars is far more than a profession – it is a way of life. We love guitars, live music, and the stories that great instruments carry with them.
We specialize in classical guitars, flamenco guitars, and acoustic steel-string guitars. As our name suggests, our main focus is on vintage and historically significant instruments, but we also offer outstanding modern guitars by exceptional makers. Our goal is always the same: to present our customers with unique, high-quality guitars that stand out clearly in tone, character, and craftsmanship.
Every guitar we offer is carefully selected for its sound and musical qualities. No instrument enters our shop by chance. We believe that a great guitar must inspire the player from the very first note, whether it is a rare vintage piece or a modern handmade instrument.
Before any guitar is offered for sale, it is thoroughly checked and professionally adjusted. We work closely with experienced guitar builders and specialized repair shops to ensure that each instrument is structurally sound, optimally set up, and ready to be played at its full potential. Transparency and trust are essential to us, and we always describe instruments honestly and in detail.
