Epiphone Masterbilt FT 79 Texan

[richardp69]

I've owned a couple vintage Epiphone Acoustics and wish I still had them. Superb quality builds with sound in spades. I've not been a fan of the current Epiphone lineup except for the Masterbilt series. I've owned bunches of then over the years and they are well made and sound superb.

I got the itch recently and picked up the FT-79 Texan and it's more than I had hoped for. Solid woods all around, a beautiful finish, electronics and a superb Epiphone HSC What's not to like. This will likely be my new stage guitar for the forseeable future. here's a few pics.

Price is right and hard to go wrong.

Beautiful Richard and the Epiphone Masterbilts were/are excellent playing and sounding guitars. And yours is a beauty.

Congrats, Richard. I've also had a number of Masterbilts. Really well made. All mine were satin though, and I really like gloss, like your new FT-79. Well done!

Your new stage guitar? I didn't know you've been playing out?! We need videos in that case!

Very nice Richard. A buddy of mine has one of those that I have played and I liked it a lot. Congrats
