Product Description
He could afford to play any guitar in the world. So it speaks volumes that Sir Paul McCartney chose to record yesterday with his 1964 Epiphone Texan. In the forty years since then, this instrument has passed into rock ‘n’ roll folklore. For 2005, Epiphone have unveiled a limited run of Texans, faithful to the spec of Macca’s original in every detail.
At McCartney’s insistence, these new Texan models have been hand-built by Gibson’s acoustic division in Montana, making them the first Epiphone acoustics to be constructed in the US for 35 years. The first production run of 40 was supervised by the ex-Beatle himself, with unique features including a ‘hand-ageing’ process (to recreate every bump and ding of the original), soundhole labels signed by Macca, a swanky display case and a certificate of authenticity. True to Sir Paul’s original, the Texans are right-hand models strung and set up for left-hand play, and even include the small gap between the back strip and centre block.
The second run of 250 Texans also mirror Macca’s instrument. Not only do these US-built acoustics replicate the timeless tone and looks of the original (with a solid mahogany body, spruce top and parallelogram fret inlays), but also include an autographed soundhole label, custom case and certificate of authenticity.
A large percentage of the profit from each Epiphone Texan sold will also be donated to Adopt A Landmine. “It’s exciting to have my old guitar reproduced by Gibson,” notes Macca. “It’s exact and what’s more it sounds great.”
