Product Description

Epiphone Inspired by 1964 Texan Acoustic Electric in Antique Natural

Epiphone present the Texan - the classic acoustic guitar used by legends like Paul McCartney, Peter Frampton and Noel Gallagher. The Texan retains the Advanced Jumbo Dreadnought body with larger lower bout, rounded upper bout and solid spruce top to produce a beautiful, filling tone with deeper lows and clearer mids than most dreadnoughts.

However, this new-for-2010 model also offers improvements to the saddle, as well as a pickup system - a necessity for the modern player. The built in Sonic Preamp by Shadow uses a state-of-the-art Nanoflex undersaddle pickup which senses the vibrations of the strings and the soundboard simultaneously offering a truly 'acoustic' sound. The easy access volume and tone controls are neatly mounted inside the soundhole.

The Texan model has long been a favourite for its sound, playability, and classic looks - but don't take our word for it - try one for yourself!

Here's what Epiphone say about the Inspired by 1964 series

The Legendary Acoustic is Back and Better than Ever!  Since it's introduction in 1958, the Epiphone Texan has been the choice of countless musicians including Paul McCartney, Peter Frampton and Noel Gallagher.  In fact, McCartney wrote and performed one of the most recorded and popular songs ever, "Yesterday" on his 1964 Texan.  Now, Epiphone brings back the Texan combining all the great features of the original with modern updates for today's musician. 

It all starts with the classic sloped-shoulder or Advanced Jumbo (AJ) shape.  Unlike ordinary dreadnoughts, the Texan features a more rounded upper bout and a larger lower bout with a subtle waist. Resembling a bell shape, this leads to a more balanced tone with shimmering highs, deeper lows and clearer mid-range that's perfect for singer/songwriters and other solo performers.  Like the original, the new Texan features a premium solid Spruce top with a solid Mahogany back and Mahogany rims.  Solid woods resonate beautifully and only improve with age.  The neck is solid Mahogany topped with a Rosewood fingerboard adorned with the original parallelogram inlays.  Hand-fitted and glued into the body, the neck features Epiphone's SlimTaper(tm) neck profile that's comfortable and easy to play.  Keeping the guitar in tune are original-style but updated 14:1 ratio vintage tuners with classic small oval buttons.  Epiphone has even reproduced the original blue rectangular sound hole label from the 1960's for yet another touch of authenticity. 

But from there, Epiphone adds some new features that sets this Texan apart.  First, the saddle has been updated to feature a fixed, compensated saddle.  Unlike the original adjustable style, this saddle provides improved tuning accuracy and better string vibration transfer to the top resulting in improved tone and sustain.  And for today's player, Epiphone adds Shadow's state-of-the-art Sonic(tm) preamp system with the revolutionary under-saddle NanoFlex(tm) low-impedance pickup to allow acoustic players to "plug in."  Discretely mounted inside the sound hole, the Sonic preamp features an easy-access volume control with high and low EQ controls.  There's also a "phase" switch that instantly cuts feedback without affecting tone.  The Nanoflex pickup is the only pickup that senses both the vibrations of the strings and the movements of the soundboard simultaneously.  The sound is truly "acoustic"  combining accurate body and string tone with percussive attack.  It's like having a microphone mixed with an under saddle pickup!  Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, there is no signal loss and no "hum" created.  A battery indicator LED turns on when the battery is low and should be replaced within 30 minutes.  Powered by two 2032 lithium batteries, the complete system is extremely light and weighs far less than ordinary 9V systems.  A premium Shadow output jack is incorporated into the endpin jack and the entire electronic system is covered by Shadow's 5-year worldwide parts and labor limited warranty. 

Years of Enjoyment.  Combined with Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson's 24/7/365 Customer Service, the new Inspired by 1964 Texan acoustic/electric reproduces a vintage classic while providing years of worry-free enjoyment.  Take one home today and fall in love with the Texan - again.
