The Epiphone FT-79 Texan, inspired by the 1964 Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Antique Natural, recreates the design and tone of the classic Texan models from the 1960s. Built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it produces a clear, balanced acoustic sound with strong projection. The slim taper mahogany neck offers a comfortable playing feel, while the onboard electronics make the guitar easy to amplify for live performance or recording.
