I can't provide any info as far as current value, etc., but my guess is
that there isn't much monetary value to this guitar. I have one, which I
bought when I was in Jr. High School for about $80, serial #888401. We're
talking somewhere around 1977 or so. Spruce top, mahogany back and sides,
it appears, and veneer, not solid wood. I've played a lot on this poor
little axe, and I still love it. Nice action, a bit of fret buzz that I
always felt gave the sound a rock and roll, distorted quality when I really
hit a barre chord. I've strapped this guitar to a backpack and hiked with
it, and it's been with me from virginity all the way to my second marriage.
It's the main guitar of my life, and I've had a lot of 'em, and a lot
fancier and more expensive ones. I love this little guitar, and it's nice
to see that there's someone out there somewhere who also has one. To most,
it's a crappy cheap little acoustic, but like any instrument it can become
infused with your playing and your history.
Hope you didn't sell it. Looks like your dad took a lot better care of his
than I did mine.

I do believe looking at the 2 photos, that I have the same Epi A-10 folk
acoustic. I need to see a photo of the head stock face. Mine simply has
"Epi" in gold leaf on the head. Mine has BLOCK INLAYS starting at the 1st
fret. Could mine be the "custom" perhaps? I bought mine new in either 1978
or 1979, for $99.91.
The serial number tag is not inside the body, or else I wouldnt be
asking.
The body & neck have binding, & the neck has a soft "V" shape. Stamped in
ink on the truss rod plate is Serial # 4924then perhaps a 1 that is not
completely stamped, 078....so the # is 4924(1?)078.....my guess is it was
made in 1978.
Thanks >> DANN
