Epiphone Paul McCartney 1964 Texan Acoustic Guitar
"The guitars are part of a limited run of master-built Epiphones, produced in Japan by Gibson, and faithful to Paul McCartney's original specification.
Epiphone has been a part of the Gibson family of brands since 1957, and McCartney’s original guitar was made in the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1964. He played it in the recording studio and on his famous performance of the Beatles hit “Yesterday” on the Ed Sullivan TV show on August 14, 1965. These guitars are hand-aged to replicate the playing wear on McCartney’s Texan.
The Japanese Texans feature the same solid spruce top and mahogany body that gave the ex-Beatle his enviable tone. The mahogany neck is topped with rosewood fretboard and classic pearl parallelogram inlays, while the antique natural finish gives these instruments a suitably vintage feel.
