Epiphone / Frontier FT-110 / 2021 / Original / Guitar For Sale
As the name suggests, The Epiphone Frontier formed the vanguard of Gibson’s acoustic aspirations of the late 50s and early 60s.
Following Gibson’s purchase of the venerable New York marque in 1957, Epiphone was utilized as a proving ground for some of Kalamzoo’s more adventurous designs. The Frontier was Gibson’s foray into the Dreadnought market, square shouldered, 25.5” scale, Spruce and Maple construction. No Frontier, no Humminbird or Dove.
This is a stunning example in as new condition. Comes with an Epiphone hardshell case and sounds stunning.
A word from Gibson…
A Rare Epiphone Acoustic, Once Again Made in the USA
Gibson™ manufactured the original Epiphone Frontier in its Kalamazoo factory from 1958 until 1970.

It comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs VTC pickup, so it is stage and studio-ready, right out of the included hardshell case. Available in Antique Natural and Frontier Burst.
