Epiphone Texan FT-79 1965 - this guitar is absolutely a cannon! Not only because the Beatles played this exact guitar model ... it sounds sooooo breathtakingly beautiful, looks absolutely cool and plays like butter.
Paul McCartney's 1964 Epiphone Texan is only a few serial numbers away from this guitar.
This guitar sounds better than many Gibsons from the 60s that we had. Epiphone was bought by Gibson in 1957. Gibson moved the company from New York to Kalamazoo and for many years Epiphone produced basically the same guitars as Gibson, just under a different name and with a slightly different look.
Musicians such as Paul McCartney of the Beatles, Peter Frampton and Jimi Hendrix, to name but a few, made these guitars world-famous.
It has a beautiful open vintage sound. It unfolds its full charm when it is strummed - growling basses combined with a soft vintage nuance in the overall sound. The sound has a woody touch and exudes an almost mystical atmosphere.
At the same time, the guitar is very balanced and offers the most beautiful timbres.
It is very easy to play and has a straight neck with a low action and well preserved frets. It is in good condition for its age and has a repaired crack on the top and one on the back.
It is supplied with a hard case.
