#Epiphone ft 150 kalamazoo series#

Generally the first series or the second series, with or without additions depending on the exact date it was issued. No issue of this folder would have included all of the inserts shown here. They are reproduced in this order, which also (roughly) corresponds with the order in which the individual models appear in the early 1970s Epiphone price lists. The inserts shown here (as with just about all Gibson and Epiphone literature) have a print number, which gives us an order in which they were produced, as well as a year code. In 1971, and later in 1972, extra sheets were issued, some adding new models, others updating older sheets with new model names, and updated images. Initially, the folder contained 13 sheets, detailing two electric guitars, two basses, seven acoustics, and two twelve string acoustics. With the range so new, this design made perfect sense, allowing the addition (or removal) of models as the line expanded. This 'catalog' was actually a folder, with separate inserts for each instrument. Many of these guitars were based on existing models available from Aria, and were given the same model designations. Although the first batch of sheets are dated 1971, they were most likely prepared and printed in 1970, probably before the October 1970 price list. This brochure is the first to show the new imported line of electric and acoustic Epiphone guitars. This is what it means to grow from the вЂњinside-out.From late 1970, Epiphone guitar production was subcontracted to Aria, and produced at the Matsumoku plant in Japan, after many years of manufacture in the USA. This kind of change is what I call inner transformation and is, in essence, the kind of change that depth psychotherapy like psychoanalysis aims to bring about. Such changes affect our experience of the past which impacts the memory itself-and it is the memory that we take with us and shapes who we are. While the facts of the past canвЂ™t change, how we view them, how we feel about them, and the stories that we tell ourselves about them can change. These core memories can be changed over time.They form memories that become вЂњcore memories.вЂќ The earlier they happen and the more powerful the feelings that are associated with them, the more they become the bedrocks of our personalities. Psychologically, we fade and crumble when we do not make room for all of the feelings and aspects of ourselves, painful though they may sometimes be. Feelings like sadness and joy give us a sense that our lives have meaning without them, we lack a sense of being real. Feelings like anger, fear, and disgust are signal feelings that keep us safe without them, we lack direction. Psychological troubles come when we disown aspects of ourselves.Sadness is touched by joy, in a way that facilitates caring and bonding with others. Joy is touched by sadness, in a way that helps joy to become deeper and love to be more real. Psychological growth comes when these conflicting feelings become integrated with one another.In my book, I say it this way: вЂњ Aggression and desire, envy and gratitude, hope and dread are roommates in the inner world.вЂќ That goes for joy and sadness, disgust, aggression, and fear, too. We all have complex feelings that exist side by side.The control center is not just a brain with its biochemistry and neural pathways it is a mind with complex, nuanced emotional, social, and unconscious meaning-making activity. Psychology goes hand in hand with biology in what makes us human.Here are just a few bits of this kind of timeless wisdom about inside-out psychology:
