Epiphone Texan Buying Guide

By Rand MacCartney


The Epiphone Texan is a fantastic sounding guitar made in the advanced Jumbo style. This classic, acoustic flattop instrument is a fantastic option to consider when purchasing a guitar if you are seeking big sound and huge features at a price which will not bust your budget.

Here, we'll take a look at how the guitar sounds, how it appears, and what someone should look for while considering a purchase.

How It Sounds

The Epiphone Texan has an unique, enjoyable sound that sets it apart from many guitars. Because of its distinguished sound, many musicians such as Paul McCartney and Peter Frampton have chosen this instrument above other styles.

Today, it has been re-popularized by combining accurate string and body tone with greater percussion. The new Epiphone is said to sound like an acoustic guitar with an attached microphone, meaning that it produces great natural sound that has some serious boost to it.

How It Looks

This dreadnought, contrary to most, features a bigger lower bout and a smaller upper bout with a less defined waist than normal. The original, together with numerous replications which are available nowadays, was made of a solid Spruce top and solid Mahogany back & rims.

The neck, also made from solid Mahogany, is topped with a rosewood fingerboard which displays the original parallelogram inlays. (This guitar's ease and comfort of paying is offered by its SlimTaper neck that's hand-fitted and glued to the body.)

How to Purchase

What should you seek out when it comes to purchasing an Epiphone Texan? As with numerous guitars, it's significant to consider your individual tastes as to style and color.

Although most of the Epiphones are made in very similar way, there's variety among their colors, and it's up to the purchaser to determine which he likes. Secondly, if purchasing second hand, it's very necessary to determine the instrument's quality of tone and sound.

Several used guitars don't offer the same quality of sound that the originals do, so it's significant to check it before buying.

As we have seen, the instrument is an original, high-quality guitar that displays good sound and quality design. You won't be sorry if you buy one. Good luck with your purchases.
