Post by t***@gmail.comHi ive been looking for a very long time with little luck but i have a 1979 ft 165 12 string and its missing a fret block on the 5th fret and i have had no luck finding this piece is there any place where i could get this
You'll have to find an inlay of matching appearance as well as size so
that might take some time. You should get a repair person to install it
for you if you have no experience with inlays. Your best bet is to sell
it and get a used FT-165 on eBay.
Well, that's what I'd do if I really, really, needed that inlay. OTOH,
if the guitar plays well, I wouldn't push my luck and get another one on
eBay.
You could send Epiphone an email explaining your plight. They may take
pity on you and help you out. :)
