The FT-79 Texan is well known for its bright, clean, and big tone, which is immediately evocative of folk-rock albums of the 1960s and 70s. And this one is no exception ! This classic vintage Texan has a beautiful and big vintage sound. It is a canon, but also subtle and plays like a dream. Many well-know guitarists and singer-songwriters, like Jimmy Hendrix, Peter Frampton, Paul Mc Cartney,... loved and played an Epiphone FT-79 Texan.
The guitar travels in a nice newer hard shell case.
