America's true voice. Singing the songs of freedom. The Epiphone USA Texan Acoustic has become a symbol of Southern culture. With a history as rich as Lady Liberty, it's no surprise that the Texan has inspired generations of songwriters. From Paul McCartney to Kurt Cobain, Peter Frampton to Noel Gallagher, this is a guitar that embodies importance.
As warm as the Southern states. The USA Texan gets its unmistakable charisma from a solid Spruce top and Mahogany body. Whether you love to play classic country or polished pop, the Texan promises buttery, mellow timbre that boasts superior harmonic resonance. The two hardwoods work together to bring the perfect balance of punchy, balanced tone and deep, rounded bottom end.
Everything in its right place. Epiphone have chosen each element of the USA Texan with a distinct focus on its tonal palate. Alongside its unique presence, the Texan promises focused projection courtesy of a nitrocellulose finish. As attractive as it is practical, the gloss coating helps contain the movement of the grain. The result is a tight bottom end, pronounced mids, and bright highs, perfect for any style of playing.
Comfort in the Palm of Your Hands
Great tone meets impossible playability. It's incredible to think that the USA Texan has been around since the 1950s. But with a design this good, it's easy to see why. Built by Epiphone's master luthiers in the USA heartlands, this iconic guitar is a lesson in excellence. Whether standing or sitting, the jumbo dreadnaught body is sculpted for comfort, sitting in your arms like it was built just for you.
Play without limits. Whatever your style. The Epiphone USA Texan makes finger positioning easy on a round D neck shape that's been sculpted with precision. The shallow profile offers unhindered access to every fret, letting you play your licks with speed and comfort. And with a 25.5" scale length, you have the ultimate balance of resonant tone and upper register accessibility.
A great body is nothing without a great neck. The Texan comes readily equipped with an Indian Laurel fretboard, offering sleek playability and gorgeous sustain. Whether you're looking to get fancy with fingerstyle or keep it simple with chords, everything is possible thanks to a 12" radius. This is the ultimate companion for seasoned pros and rising stars alike.
Performance Ready Electronics
With a guitar as prolific as the Texan, you're going to want to show it off. After all, you are following in the footsteps of some of the greatest guitarists on the planet. No matter what level of performer you are, Epiphone's collaboration with LR Baggs has got you covered.
Natural woody quality. Even at high volumes. The LR Baggs VTC pickup projects the natural tone of the USA Texan with staggering authenticity. Expect true analogue warmth with tape-like freshness. This advanced undersaddle tracks the motion of the top, rather than the direct string attack. As a result, the 'quack' common in undersaddle pickups is mitigated, giving you polished sound on stage.
There's a reason why the USA Texan has found its way into some of the top studios in Nashville. With the LR Baggs VTC as its secret weapon, this historic piece can bring true 50s tone to any recording, stage, or rehearsal. Suppress problematic frequencies with a dynamic EQ that responds in real time. With the Texan, you're guaranteed to get delicate nuance that will pluck at the heartstrings of your audience.
