Epiphone Original Round Shoulder Dreadnought Epiphone Usa Texan Vintage Sunburst

An Iconic "Texan" Model, Between Heritage and Modernity

This Texan follows the lineage of American-character acoustics from the early '60s: a full, singing, and instantly recognizable sound, perfect for accompanying vocals. The historical DNA is clearly present, while the addition of Fishman electronics provides the versatility needed for modern use without compromising the aesthetics and playing feel.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Thanks to its Slim Taper C-profile neck, this guitar suits both intermediate and advanced players looking for a fast-playing vintage-tempered acoustic. It excels in pop, folk, acoustic rock, and chanson, whether strumming energetically or fingerpicking, with a clear and musical response.

Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, a crisp attack, and a wide dynamic range: the harder you play, the more it "opens up" with projection and definition. The mahogany body enhances midrange warmth and spectral cohesion, producing a full and balanced tone, very effective for accompaniment. The bone nuts contribute to note precision and vibration transmission, improving definition and sustain. When plugged in, the Fishman Sonitone system provides a natural and usable sound, designed to easily handle delicate playing as well as strong rhythms.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original spirit and feel, opt for an acoustic string set in gauge 13-56 (as per factory setup). For amplified use, prepare a 9V battery and a 6.35 mm (1/4") jack cable. The 2 strap buttons allow adding a standard strap for standing play.
