New Vortex Viper HD 5-25X50 Scope Review

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Kalamazoo Epi Cortez

Long story short, was offered an "old" guitar, in a bluish grey hard case, saw it was an Epiphone and said thank you.
I got it all tuned up, it sounds and plays great. It has some crazing in the finish on the top, otherwise it's in very good shape.
Haven't been able to date it, any help would be appreciated.
Does the style FT45N mean it originally had nylon strings?

So I figured out the N in the style number is for natural.
I also found a site that had had my serial number as a 66 or 69.
There is a crack on the top along the pick guard running toward the bridge.
I'm planning to bring it to a local luthier to fix the crack, replace the strings, and give it a tune-up.

Sorry, I gave up on photo bucket, so the only pics are on my phone.
According to guitar dater it's a 58. It's neat little guitar.

I'm not sure how do that.
It asks for a url when I hit the image button.
The guitar is at a local Luthier right now.
I wanted to get the crack on the top fixed before it got worse. I'll have to have my kid show me how to post a pic from my phone.
