The Epiphone acoustic guitar, Texan, introduced in 1958, instantly became the favorite guitar model of many renowned musicians and guitar artists, like; Paul McCartney, Peter Frampton and Noel Gallagher. Paul McCartney's 1964 Texan was the guitar he used in recording his famous song, "Yesterday."
Since those days, Epiphone has improved fantastically on the Texan! They have made it even more bell-shaped with a rounded top, resembling the top of a bell. The waist is hardly there. And the guitar's lower half is, compared to other guitar models, much wider than the top. This bell-like shape produces crystalline upper tones, deep bass tones with very distinct middle tones.
Made entirely of solid wood, the Epiphone acoustic guitar, Texan, has mahogany back and sides, and a fine quality spruce front. The use of hard wood allows the guitar to mellow and give a better resonance with age. Also made of mahogany, the neck is custom shaped according to the specifications of SlimTaperTM in order to provide great ease for the hands and fingers. Rosewood fingerboards are inlaid with mother-of-pearl slim parallelogram inlays in between the frets. The tuning rods are sturdy 14:1 ratio vintage tuners.
Some great accessories may be added to this epiphone acoustic guitar. For one, the Sonic TM revolutionary preamp system with a state-of-the-art under-saddle NanoFlexTM low impedance pick-up for "plugging in." Effectively hidden just inside the sound hole, this preamp allows adjustment of volume. The NanoFlex pickup is special because it gets not only the sound from the strings but also from the movement of the resounding board. This provides a totally acoustic character to the guitar's tone. The guitar is also protected from signal loss and hums. The system runs on 2032 lithium batteries. An LED battery power monitor will turn on if the battery power is low.
What is more the entire electronic system had a worldwide 5-year limited warranty from shadow for labor and parts. The revived Texan is also covered by Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty. The new Texan comes in Antique Natural (AN) or Vintage Cherryburst (VC) motif.
