Epiphone Texan FT-79

The Epiphone Texan FT-79 is a slope-shouldered dreadnought that Paul McCartney used to write and record 'Yesterday' — the most covered song in history. Its spruce top and mahogany construction produce a warm, intimate tone suited to fingerpicking and gentle strumming. McCartney chose the Texan for its balanced, non-boomy character that allowed his vocal melody to remain the focus. The guitar's association with 'Yesterday' makes it one of the most significant acoustic guitars in pop music history, though McCartney used it throughout the Beatles' recording sessions.
