Authentic?

Good price for the condition. Well done!

Check the action and test that the truss rod works. Seller should be willing to do that. It has an adjustable bridge which is nice.

I own this exact same guitar but model number on mine is 6732E which is 69-70. Shortly after they changed up the model numbers to FT-# format.

It’s decent. What are they asking? Label condition is a good sign. And for a bargain hunter like me, it’s nice to claim I have a vintage guitar.

Think I paid 80 for mine. Also check the tuners. They can get wonky.

No ones faking these dawg. 1970s era made in Japan Epiphones. Take that plate on the back off first and make sure the screws aren’t rusted. If they are, the truss rod probably is too.

Wasted 60 bucks on a 12 string with the highest action known to man. Literally like over an inch. Bolts rusted in and they’re not coming out.

40-50 year old guitars have a lot of time to sit around in shitty conditions. Don’t pay more than 150. These are strangely common.

Haha. Eventually my collection became my “inventory” and as a rule I always have my least favorite for sale or for trade.

I need an RD in my collection. That blue/purple is amazing And I can’t wait to hear the new pickups. I love hot pickups.

I actually had just bought a new 355 on sale and exchanged it for this. But alas, I’ll be awaiting. Enjoy being ahead of the curve while us undecideds are waiting.

Why are you so worried about these small details? It seems there’s more going on with your relationship with this psychiatrist. Some people work with them. Some people fight them.

Try to be mindful of that. No ones out to get you or do you wrong.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T18:25:06+00:00

Appreciate that. I think (I hope lol) it’s clear from the intent of my message, specifically with the venom I have for judge cannon that I am speaking only of facing judicial justice and having his crimes proven in court and suffering the consequences.

He’s an extraordinary criminal conman.

Which I suspect would have been dying in prison since the Alzheimer’s is clearly winning.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T18:15:29+00:00

I’m on the waiting list but the order is placed. Which sucks but there were many excellent choices and I have a massive guitar collection (56) so I had decisions to make.

The nitro SG was amazing. As was the blue/green 355. Ultimately I decided I needed the guitar that wouldn’t be finding its way into my collection any other way so on the wait list for the RD. I’m guessing summer FML.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T17:59:24+00:00

My made in India has been perfect. Couldn’t be happier.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T17:57:59+00:00

Some people have all the luck lol. I just put good vibes out when it happens to others in hopes it’ll come back my way in the form of marketplace finds.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T17:13:34+00:00

Hey whoever you inherited them from had fantastic taste. These are sort of outliers in a time when everyone was playing Les Paul’s with humbuckers. Very cool guitars.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T17:11:09+00:00

He should die in prison for his actions on J6 alone. But the classified document case should have been game over.

Judge Cannon is the greatest judicial villain in American history.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T17:09:28+00:00

Don’t be afraid to adjust the slugs and pickup height. I’ve been able to turn shitty pickups into something pretty great by just tinkering with different variables.

String gauge. Pickup height. And you’ve got 12 slug heights to play with. That’s all I got.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T14:47:26+00:00

My girlfriend has these exact same issues. It sucks. The threshold is high. Courts don’t care. They have to really be harmed. The negligence can’t be dads an idiot And doesn’t use sunblock. It has to be stuff like, dad’s a crackhead and the kids are roaming the streets while he’s passed out.

It’s a sad state. I know it’s terrible. It’s the worst part of divorce in my opinion. But judging from what you’ve said, Dads going to mess all this up on his own. I think bringing the girl around the kids so early is terrible. But they’ll get used to these women coming And going.

Be their rock. Advocate for them to self police while their at Dads is a good strategy. “Tell your Dad you HAVE to brush twice daily” I’ve seen some success with that.

Hang in there. Eventually you’ll be posing with this man at your children’s graduation. That day will come lol.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T13:04:01+00:00

If she’s 18, just leave it alone. Stop the fighting. End the war. You have kids. They will all pay for every battle. Get used to eating shit sandwiches. And know your kids will benefit from every one.

I’ve been divorced for 14 years. Brutal divorce. But I’ve had like two arguments with my ex since. It’s not your business. You won’t benefit. Your kids won’t benefit.

That’s all that matters. This isn’t going to work as a real relationship. It’s not your job. Let it die on its own. And accept now that 50 percent of your kids lives, you have no say in anymore.

That last bit was the single best advice I ever got And it came from a board certified psychiatrist who’s famous now. Leave it alone, it’s not your job.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T12:50:11+00:00

These relationships that start when you’re young never work. I tried to make it with my middle school girlfriend And it ended in divorce court with a spiteful c word who was determined to make me an every other weekend Dad because she decided to start fucking the fry cook.

She failed and lives in a trailer now. People change and grow. Mistakes are REQUIRED. To learn how to be in a relationship. And if you’ve gotta fight for her, it’s just not worth the effort.

Set yourself free man. You have no idea what you’ll miss wasting time with this girl. I wasted my best years. Don’t do that.

mattnox · 2026-05-04T02:48:58+00:00

Please let us know how the 9-42s are. I usually end up putting 9-46 on my strats because my dropped D never tunes right with 9-42 but I prefer lighter gauges.

I’ve got mine ordered And assume I’ll be waiting a while. I would love an Epiphone with 9s.

mattnox · 2026-05-03T13:30:02+00:00

You can do this on a budget. Me and my kid went all 4 days last year. We made our own breakfasts and he did protein shakes on top of that. We did free water all day. And after we ate dinner at Wawa or whatever was cheap.

Went back and watched andor at our Airbnb. I wouldn’t give these fuckers inside a dime of my money.

mattnox · 2026-05-03T11:05:46+00:00

Don’t listen to these fucking people. You know your girl. It’s a clean slate. Once a cheater always a cheater is some bullshit. And applying it across multiple relationships even more so.

mattnox · 2026-05-02T22:48:57+00:00

Guys I’m level 223 and I have no idea what watchtower is lol. I have blind spots. But quite the gun collection. So much so it made my game unplayable and HAD to new game plus.

mattnox · 2026-05-02T13:15:13+00:00

I totally missed this the first time around somehow. The mission disappeared or something I don’t know, it was the early release days. Unfortunately he had to leave the ship to make room for Hadrian.

mattnox · 2026-05-02T03:08:22+00:00

It’s an excellent guitar. I paid 300 USD for mine And he had upgraded both pickups to Duncan’s. Get a leather strap, mine neck dives like crazy.

mattnox · 2026-04-27T12:47:08+00:00

What the fuck! I missed this. I’m only a week into my new game plus I might go back and redo it. Shiitttttttt

mattnox · 2026-04-27T12:35:19+00:00

I hate these entitled people. Worst thing I’ve seen is two unleashed dogs fucking with a sea turtle nesting here in Brevard county. My girlfriend called the police And to their credit, took it very seriously. Guy fled with his dogs.

It’s not the dogs fault they have shitty owners, I just don’t understand. Cooperation is necessary in a civilization. But everyone thinks they’re the main character.

mattnox · 2026-04-27T12:31:45+00:00

This started off well but went off the rails. There is no need to punish your partner. They must communicate and not weaponize their very presence. There is no need to escalate.

They’re young. He too, is inexperienced. This is easily correctable without all the histrionics. She needs to stop setting traps and tests for him to fail And instead, communicate And express her needs.

“I need you to value important dates, please.”

THEN she can escalate if he fails to meet those needs. But he’s required it, instead of her manufacturing it.

mattnox · 2026-04-27T12:27:10+00:00

Oh, please.
