Comes with a photo of Paul coming out to sign [sorry, it was too crazy to get a picture of him actually signing the guitar; there were LOTS of other people getting autographs].
This one has replaced tuners in the back with Grovers which really helps it play in better tune and the cheap pickup sysem was taken out by the previous owner.....  Now for the docs:   Body Slope shoulder dreadnought body. Solid spruce top. Gloss finish.

Throughout its 57-year history, Epiphone has introduced models that have become classics in their own right. And when it comes to acoustic steel-string flattops, the Texan is its most important contribution.

 Introduced in 1959, the Texan used Gibson’s round-shoulder dreadnought body design and a 25.5-inch scale, making it more like Gibson’s Advanced Jumbo (which wasn’t in production at the time) than the more common J-45. The guitar’s ultra-narrow 1 5/8-inch nut width gave it a unique feel, and the appearance, with parallelogram inlays in the fingerboard and distinctive headstock and pickguard shapes, was different from any comparable Gibson.

Epiphone Texans found their way into the hands of discerning players, including Paul McCartney, who used one to write and record “Yesterday,” and British fingerstyle pioneer Wizz Jones, who continues to play his 1960s Texan today. Epiphone stopped its original run of Texans in 1970, but the company has released reissues over the years. The most recent is named Inspired by “1964” Texan.

The Texan turned out to be a fun guitar to play. Most will appreciate that Epiphone used a slightly wider neck width (1 11/16 inches at the nut) than specified for the vintage Texan. The company calls the neck shape 1960s SlimTaper; it has a half-round, relatively shallow profile.

How could you not launch into “Yesterday” while holding an Epiphone Texan? Since the song includes F and Bb chords in first position (that is, if you’re playing in standard tuning rather than the low tuning, down a whole step, that McCartney used), it’s an ideal test for determining a guitar’s playability. The Texan passes with flying colors—the action at the nut was adjusted beautifully, and the neck was straight with just a touch of relief, making first-position workouts easy. The guitar had a touch of the thumpy, dry quality inherent in most slope-shoulder dreadnoughts, but, likely due to the long scale, it has a bit more zing and sustain than a typical J-45.
Overall, the guitar had more of a Martin sound, with great clarity and projection. When playing “Yesterday,” the Texan has a lush, but strong, voice with a gentleness well suited to supporting the vocal melody.

The Texan is constructed with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back, and laminated mahogany sides, all of which are of high quality. 

Comes with the hanging device shown in the photos due to how this guitar could likely be placed as a primary wall hanger for ownership recognition.
It has all of the MOJO you would expect including the Detroit Red WINGS logo that Paul placed on his Texan back in the WINGS days around 1973-74.
Comes with a hard shell case and will be very well packed. You can always pick it up in Indianapolis at The Indiana Guitar Show on April 10th or I can carefully box it up and send it USPS.
