I understand that this is a 1967 Gibson/Epiphone but I have no idea of it's value. It has the original hard case and is in excellent condition. Please advise as to the value range/

Hi, Butch--

Here is the Blue Book info on your guitar:

"FT 79 (TEXAN)
- dreadnought style, spruce top, walnut back/sides, cherry neck, 20-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with parallelogram inlay, rosewood bridge, three-per-side open back tuners, available in Natural and Sunburst finish, 16.5 in. body width, mfg. 1941-1970.+

The "N" stands for natural finish.

Here is the Blue Book pricing info:

1965-1970
Excellent $3,000 - 3,500
Average $2,000 - 2,500

The original hardshell case will add to the value.
