ACOUSTIC: EARLY 1970S JAPAN NUMBERED MODELS

In 1970, Epiphone moved all production overseas and the first models to be produced in Japan feature no model name but a four digit model number instead. This configuration only lasted for two years, and by 1972, the entire Epiphone line was renamed again.
