Epiphone Masterbilt Texan FT-79 Natural [23042300385] (10/16)

The Masterbilt series is based on 1960s Texan models and incorporates modern specifications.
It features an all-solid construction combining a solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany sides and back. The mahogany neck features a SlimTaper C profile inspired by the 1960s, and its appearance?including parallelogram inlays, a pickguard with the gEh logo, and a vintage-style headstock?evokes the classic Texan of yesteryear.

Another key feature is its crisp sound, produced by the 25.5-inch long scale. Equipped with a Fishman pickup system, it allows for adjustment via volume and tone controls located inside the soundhole, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including live performances and recording.
There are some minor scratches and dents, but no particularly noticeable damage.
There is slight backward bowing on the 1st string side of the neck and backward bowing at the low frets on the 6th string side, with some twisting and waviness. The frets have been leveled, and there are currently no issues with playability. Please exercise caution when adjusting the instrument.
The handle on the case is torn, and the frame is protruding.
