Sometimes, there are moments that eating all this dust is so worthwhile. Getting a chance to work on a little sweetheart like this is one of those moments.
1959 Epiphone FT-45 Cortez. Original price tag in the case, and aside from a little lacquer checking and previous repairs in very good shape. Whoever did the previous setup had no idea how to make a saddle. It was WAY tall and not intonated at all (see photo). Neck was in wonderful shape so all it really needed was a setup and to basically make a saddle. Plays and sounds very sweet. Better projection and bass notes than I expected for a guitar this size...
