Epiphone’s Texan FT-79 acoustic-electric guitar is more than a throwback to an iconic instrument. For today’s Masterbilt Texan, Epi’s taken the classic Texan and enhanced it with a superbly playable ’60s SlimTaper neck, improved bridge design, and modern electronics. With its all-solid-tonewood construction — mahogany body and Sitka spruce top — the Texan delivers big, balanced tone that’s perfect for solo artists and singer-songwriters. And its Fishman Sonitone amplification system lets you be stage-ready any time, anywhere. Paul McCartney wrote “Yesterday” on his Texan. Now you can make your own music history — with the Epiphone Texan.
