Epiphone / FT79N Texan #423152 / 1966 / Guitar

The Epiphone FT79 saw the light of day in 1942. After Gibson acquired Epiphone in 1957, the model was redesigned and produced in Kalamazoo, Michigan with the addition "Texan" in the name. Due to the new design, the model was very similar to Gibson's J45, but had a longer working life. The Texan rose to prominence in the hands of Paul McCartney who used one in the hit song "Yesterday". Other well-known artists who used a Texan were Kurt Cobain, Ben Gibbard, Noel Gallagher and Peter Frampton. This 1966 Epiphone Texan contains playwear and weather checking that are not uncommon for a guitar of this age, but it is still in very good condition. A repair has been made on the heel, and that part has been partially refinished. Furthermore, the tuners and the bridge saddle have been replaced, and the guitar has had a refret. However, the guitar is stable, plays very pleasantly and has a nice full, round sound that lends itself perfectly to strumming. The guitar comes in a vintage case. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
