Epiphone FT-79N Texan
Description
Sir James Paul McCartney, who has left behind numerous hit songs and remains active as a solo artist, still uses this iconic Epiphone acoustic guitar, the "Texan."
This particular guitar, manufactured in 1967, features a narrow neck with a 39.6mm nut width, a long scale, a 15-fret joint, an adjustable saddle, single parallelogram inlays, 3-in-line tuners, and a blue label—a truly captivating instrument.
Upon arrival, the truss rod was fully tightened, so we replaced the truss rod, straightened the fretboard, and performed a refret and nut replacement, ensuring long-lasting and reliable use.
The crisp, energetic, and powerful sound, achieved through the long scale and meticulous woodworking, is so impressive that you'll want to keep playing it forever.
