This is a vintage made in Japan Epiphone FT-165 Bard DeLuxe 12-String guitar from the 1970's. Unfortunately, this guitar has suffered a crack inside the neck pocket and will need a professional repair to be playable. The action is currently very high because of this. Please see photos for reference.

Apart from the crack, this guitar does show other cosmetic wear that includes various surface scratches, scuffs, and dents throughout the body with additional dings along the back of the neck and headstock. The fret inlays and binding around the neck and body have also yellowed from over time. The frets show normal play wear as well.

This guitar has been priced low according to its condition. We can not further discount due to the condition as it has already been factored into the price.

This guitar appears to be original.
