Epiphone Texan Sunburst 1965

The Epiphone “Texan” is the successor to an earlier Epiphone guitar, an answer to the brand's '40s flattops. Right after Gibson bought Epiphone in '57, the company redesigned those '40s flattops to incorporate some of the design elements of the Gibson J-45, giving birth to what they eventually renamed the “Texan.” It remains one of the iconic flat-top guitars of all time, for players and collectors alike. Most of these models are made so well that they tend to increase in value and improve in the complexity and resonance of their sound as they age, regardless of their appearance. It remains one of the iconic flat-top guitars of all time, for players and collectors alike.
Like many of the Epiphones, Gibson mated leftover Epiphone necks to Gibson made bodies. The new Texan was essentially a long scale J-45/J-50, meaning loud long-scale volume and big mid- to low-end Gibson thump. The body has back and side solid mahogany wood with solid Sitka spruce tops. Other distinguishable features include Rosewood fretboard with a 25 ½” scale length and inlaid parallelogram fret markers and rosewood bridge with adjustable wooden saddle.
