I have the above guitar - Setial No: 1242764 with the production label Kalamazoo, Michigan, Made in Japan.

I'm looking for a site to find out how to value it with a possible view to sale, although it's an absolute beauty. Can anyone help me. I'm based in London, England. Many thanks

I have the same guitar, FT-550, based in Michigan, Made in Japan, amazing tone and great sound...I too have had a difficult time trying to track down information about it's value, price, etc. I can't find the serial number. I have found out, though, that mine was made with Brazilian Rosewood,
apparently at a time before Gibson bought out Epiphone.
If anyone finds out something, please email me and I'll do the same.
I bought the guitar in Colorado, U.S.A., now based in Osaka, Japan.

I have one also. Purchased it years ago in a factory hard shell case. They look great but I guess they are only worth about $300 to $400.

I just found one at a pawn shop for $89. Lots of nicely yellowing binding, killer back and side wood, (Brazillian ?) Nicely aged mother of pearl inlays. (Tuners have been changed.) Any idea of the year made? thanks, KD
