Gibson began producing the Epiphone FT79 Texan a long scale (25.4″) J-50 with slope shoulder tone. The 1964 version of the Texan is the most popular because of its association with Paul McCartney and The Beatles.

This Epiphone Texan has no cracks or repairs on the back, only belt buckle wear. There is an extra hole near the heel for a strap button. Overall, this guitar is in good shape with a few nicks, dings and finish checking and other cosmetic wear. The E emblem is missing on the original pickguard
The spruce top has one long crack from the bridge to the binding, one very short crack next to it and a pickguard crack. There is wear on the inside of the soundhole from picking.
