Here for sale we have an Epiphone FT-79 Texan in Vintage Sunburst. Made in the USA in 202 this guitar features a Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finished Solid Mahogany back and sides with a Solid Spruce top. A Mahogany set-neck is topped with a 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Deluxe tuning machines with Cream buttons.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a ‘Rounded D’ profile feeling comfortable in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The Gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth transitions up and down the neck, making the 25.5” scale feel easily manoeuvrable. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 12” radius provides a nicely flat and consistent surface right the way up the register. The familiar lines of the square shoulder dreadnought body shape are as smooth and comfortable as ever, ensuring an enjoyable playing experience in either standing or seated positions.
The voice of the Texan is bright and shimmery thanks to its Mahogany and Spruce construction. The low end is understated yet detailed, with a smooth midrange that ensures your chord playing sounds tight and controlled. The top end is bright enough to accommodate both strumming and fingerstyle techniques with ease. The Solid Spruce top projects very well, providing a wide dynamic range that feels sensitive to the player’s touch. This is a guitar which sounds just as at home as part of an ensemble as it does as a solo instrument.
