Epiphone Texan FT-79 1966 (consignment) SOLD

Epiphone Texan FT-79 1966 (consignment) SOLD

This wonderful old piece is still very playable. Epiphone Texans of this period were fully pro-level guitars, and indeed were the most expensive slope-shoulder model in the Gibson line. You can hear them on many Beatles tunes after 1964; one of the most famous examples is Yesterday.The slope shoulder design slightly reduces the amount of bottom end, evening out the tonal response. Overall, this is a great guitar with a great sound, and a place in musical history.
