Description
Late ‘60s slope-shouldered soul with all the right scars. This 1967 Epiphone FT79 Texan is dry, deep, and full of breath — a lifer’s guitar with tone that lingers. The sunburst top has mellowed beautifully, with tasteful lacquer checking across the body and sides. It’s had the usual Texan tweaks: adjustable bridge removed, pickup added, and a replaced truss cover. Stable crack repair between neck heel and rosette. Otherwise all original and sounding absolutely right.
Made in USA, serial 69944. Comes in a one of those expensive late-‘60s pink-lined Gibson archtop case (albeit with a broken handle).
