i have the 6 string version of your guitar. My dad bought it in the 70s and its amazing, i dont really have any info, i just figured id say something cause i cant seem to find anyone who has a PR-715 model.

: ~ I just bought an Epiphone PR-715ACR (six string) at a flea market. I can't find hardly anything online about this guitar. Seems to be a well built instrument, straight neck, action is low but not too low, no fret buzz, intonation is great, plays as well as my Fender Highway 1 Strat. It is in great condition - no flaws, shiny finish, only minor scratches, has a case.

My guess is this is a lower end Epiphone from the mid 80's. I'm just looking for information about the AC-715ACR (6 string).

i designed this guitar, and it's really nice to hear after all these years that it's out there and being played. i was director of marketing for gibson during the late 70's early 80's, and this guitar was part of an entire re-do of the epiphone line.

i enjoyed the hell out of doing the whole line . . . wish i had a few - lucky you!

thanks

To the gentleman who said he designed this guitar: What woods are used for the back and sides of this guitar?

Re: epiphone 12 string mod.# PR-715-12 -ASB

Seems we all want to know the same thing, "When was my PR-715-12-ASB made?" Mine is in immaculate shape with Serial# 04729 made in Japan.

Re: epiphone 12 string mod.# PR-715-12 -ASB

I have the same 12 string. It sounds great! I recently put some Peavy strings on it. I am the oringal owner and purchased the guitar in the early 80's. It used to break the high G string but this new set has lasted a couple of months.

Re: epiphone 12 string mod.# PR-715-12 -ASB

:An amazing guitar with amazing sound. Definately enough to fill any hall with sweet sound. I was given this instrument and would appreciate any info abt it. It has a paper label inside with serial #12403, made in Kalamazoo, Mich. Can anyone tell me the date of manufacture, value, etc.?
