Epiphone Texan FT-79 1969 - this guitar is an absolute cannon! Not only because the Beatles played this exact guitar model... it sounds sooooo beautiful, looks absolutely cool and plays like butter.
Paul McCartney had an Epiphone Texan from 1964 and Peter Frampton's Epiphone Texan has the same sunburst finish as this one and was reissued by Epiphone a few years ago.
This guitar is in very good condition. It only has a small repaired crack on the top and the usual signs of use and wear.
This guitar sounds better than many of the 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 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 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.
The guitar is very well balanced and offers the most beautiful timbres.
It is very easy to play and has a straight neck with a low string action and well-preserved frets.
It comes with a newer guitar case.
