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.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
