Epiphone Masterbilt Texan, Antique Natural

The Epiphone Masterbilt Texan in Antique Natural is more than just a great acoustic guitar – it's a genuine piece of music history. Forever associated with some of the most influential songwriters of the last century, the Texan earned its legendary status in the hands of players like Paul McCartney and Peter Frampton, helping shape recordings that inspired generations of musicians around the world.

Part of the acclaimed Masterbilt collection, this modern Texan pays tribute to those iconic 1960s originals while incorporating premium materials and contemporary reliability. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, it delivers the powerful, balanced voice that has made the Texan such a favourite among singer-songwriters. The spruce top provides clarity, projection, and dynamic response, while the mahogany body adds warmth, richness, and a beautifully rounded midrange.

The result is a guitar that feels equally comfortable accompanying a solo vocal performance, leading a songwriting session, or filling a room with rich acoustic tone. Strummed chords have impressive depth and presence, while fingerpicked passages retain excellent articulation and detail.

A bone nut and saddle help maximise sustain and resonance, allowing the natural character of the tonewoods to shine through. The comfortable neck profile makes long playing sessions a pleasure, whether you're working through a set list, writing your next song, or simply enjoying a quiet evening with a guitar that rewards every note.

For live performance and recording, the Texan is equipped with a Fishman Presys VT pickup and preamp system. Discreet and easy to use, it faithfully captures the guitar's natural voice, making it an ideal companion for gigging musicians who need dependable amplified sound without sacrificing acoustic character. The Antique Natural Aged finish perfectly complements the Texan's vintage-inspired design, while details such as the classic blue rectangular soundhole label provide a tasteful nod to the original instruments that inspired it.

At Musicmaker, guitars with a story always have a special place in our hearts. The Masterbilt Texan doesn't just tell a story—it has helped write a few chapters of music history itself.
