Description

Essentially a Gibson J-45 with a Martin-scale length, the Epiphone Texan delivers a crisp, articulate tone that holds its own against any flattop of its era. Its longer scale length makes it an underrated choice for flatpicking, while also excelling in open tunings. This 1966 example is in very good condition for its age, with a replaced set of tuners and a repaired back crack on the lower bout. Otherwise, it remains original. A recent setup ensures effortless playability with low action, making it ready for its next chapter. Includes a non-original hardshell case.
