Epiphone ’70s 12-String FT-160SB in Sunburst, (Used)
The Epiphone ’70s 12-String FT-160SB is a vintage-inspired acoustic guitar built with a classic dreadnought body shape that balances robust projection with rich, chiming 12-string character. Its spruce top provides clarity and dynamic range, while the mahogany back and sides add warmth and resonance, reinforcing low end and enhancing midrange complexity. The Sunburst finish on the FT-160SB adds a classic aesthetic that complements its traditional design.
The neck is crafted from mahogany with a comfortable profile suited to a wide range of playing styles, and it is paired with a rosewood fingerboard featuring 20 frets with dot markers for intuitive navigation. A longer scale length and slightly wider string spacing accommodate the 12-string layout, giving each paired string course room to resonate while maintaining balanced tension and playability. This setup supports both strummed rhythms and melodic lines with characteristic 12-string shimmer.
Hardware includes sealed tuning machines designed to handle the increased tension of 12 strings while offering dependable tuning stability, along with a fixed bridge and compensated saddle for accurate intonation across the instrument’s range. The overall construction—from tonewoods to vintage styling—gives the Epiphone ’70s 12-String FT-160SB a blend of classic acoustic tone, expressive harmonic richness, and stage-ready presence.
