The Epiphone Texan is a true classic — Paul McCartney, Peter Frampton, and Noel Gallagher all used them (Sir Paul actually wrote “Yesterday” on his '64 Texan — and still performs with it). Epiphone celebrates this iconic instrument with the USA Texan, proudly handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana by Gibson’s world-class acoustic luthiers.
All solid wood yields superior tone and resonance
Solid wood is used throughout the USA Texan, giving you big, balanced sound with a superb resonance. Epiphone went all out for the USA Texan, equipping it with a solid mahogany body, solid spruce top, and glued-in mahogany neck. The result? A high-value instrument with robust lows, balanced mids, and bell-like, shimmering highs. We've all heard the expression, "they don't build 'em like they used to." Well, Epiphone does!

The USA Texan comes with LR Baggs's VTC acoustic pickup system — a popular choice among acoustic guitarists at Sweetwater. This system features a low-profile under-saddle transducer that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and removable volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the VTC gives your USA Texan a pure-sounding amplification presence.
