Question

Good condtion with the exception of neeeding new strings.

Answer 1

The value of this model varies widely depending on the country of origin. A Korean made FT-120, manufactured between 1976 and 1980 is worth $40.00 to $60.00 in average condition and $90.00 to $125.00 in excellent condition. However a USA made FT-120 (Excellente) manufactured between 1963 and 1970 is quite valuable. The blue book value for this guitar is between $3,200 and $3,700 dollars in average condition and $5,200 to $6000 dollars in excellent condition. Obviously with such a value disparity you will want to verify which model you have, especially if you plan to sell it. If you don't see a made in USA or made in Korea stamp, label or sticker you can use the following descriptions to determine its origin. The differences between the two guitars are pretty obvious. A Korean made FT-120 has a mahogany back and sides, a rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, and chrome tuners. A USA made FT-120 has a rosewood back and sides, ebony fretboard with cloud shaped inlays, gold hardware (tuners and Tun-o-matic bridge) and a Mother of pearl and abalone inlay of an eagle on the pick guard and more inlay work on the peg head. From these discriptions it shouldn't be hard to figure out which one you have. This information is from the 2006 Blue book of guitars Aniversary edition by Zachary Fjestad and S.P. Fjestad.

Epiphone Ft-120

Answer 3

I left the church shortly before I turned 19. As soon as I turned 18, the pushing started. I had an interview with my Bishop about marriage, and how it was important that I started looking. They transfered me to the singles ward right away. I was constantly being set up, even so far as people making bets on how long it would take me to get married (I guess you could say I;m fairly attractive). If my parents had missionaries over for dinner, jokes were cracked about them coming back to marry me. My Dad had even talked to me about being married before I turned 19. I hadn't even MET anyone yet! Not long after, I QUIT!! The pushing was the main factor at first. But, followed by a lot more and making me very firm in my decision. My family in fact did the same about a year later. Now, I have been dating my boyfriend of 2 and a half years, we live together, and are in the process of buying a house. My parents are now the last ones to push us towards marraige.

I was 26 when I got married. My husband 29. I had always had the goal to get married around 25, I wanted to finish my education, travel to Europe, start a career, etc., so I didn't stress out about things so much until that Birthday came and went, and I started reflecting on the fact that I had never had a boyfriend. On top of that my recently returned from a mission brother got engaged, and my little sister got engaged. Than I started pressuring myself. My parents became more desperate and pressured my siblings into setting me up, it miraculously worked? Living with singles since I was 18 it became quite obvious that the older men were interested in younger girls. After I graduated from college (21), and lived with younger girls they were often married and dated before any of my roommates who were closer in age to the young man, this would drive me crazy. I still have many girlfriends who are not married and are now over the age of 30. The honest truth is that even though advances in science have made it easier to conceive after the age of 27 your chances of conceiving become more difficult. Most Relief Society lessons focus on raising a good family. Many might deny the pressure, but I know growing up when a family had a child that was not married over the age of 25 there was quiet talk, about why they hadn't been able to find a mate (they were to shy, not attractive, to involved with career,) I was told many times I was intimidating because of my education. Now as a person who did get married "older" than the norm, I find that I feel always fit in because I am older just starting my family, many that are younger than me have eight year olds, and some from H.S. already have kids going into Jr. High. I find myself trying to hangout with women with children my kids age who I could have taught in H.S. I don't necessarily want to trade my experiences for that, and I am very grateful to have my 3 year old and one on the way. I feel sorry for my friends who are single that is the truth, not all of them are secure in that world, and yearn desperately for my world. A lot of my friends were called as RS presidents in singles wards when they were 29 years old, this was the case for three of my friends. I don't know if it was a your the oldest you get it, or a last ditch effort on their behalves to get them noticed? I have met some very successful single women who would make perfect spouses and mothers, and I wonder what kind of crazy guy let this person go? But, they always say Sheri Dew did it, and so can I. I heard that so many times, and it's the truth.
