bubba1281734205 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just picked up this IB1964 at Guitar Center for $120.00 off regular price. I was considering an AJ45ME, but I wasn't impressed with the YouTube video, and wanted to find one to play first. I ran across this fantastic deal and couldn't pass it up.Great sound and action, at less than half the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just picked up this IB1964 at Guitar Center for $120.00 off regular price.... Those are kick butt guitars. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffenstein Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes! I love it when others get these guitars. Welcome to the club!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarLight Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Congratulations! The Texan is a great guitar..you got a great guitar at a great price. And the beautiful gloss finish on your Texan will certainly outshine the matte finish on the Masterbilt AJ45ME. And it will play just as well if not better. Good luck with it!

Cougar Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 ...I ran across this fantastic deal and couldn't pass it up.... It's contagious! I just put in a lowball bid on a near new IB64 Texan on ebay and came away with it for 200 bucks. What a deal! Can't wait for arrival.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for arrival.... Awesome! Make sure you get it set up and do consider a full fret dressing, too...I loved mine before, but since the fret dressing (and the low, low, LOW, action that came with it), it is a whole new ballgame with this guitar!

Cougar Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Awesome! I figured you'd have a favorable remark. :) Make sure you get it set up and do consider a full fret dressing, too...I loved mine before, but since the fret dressing (and the low, low, LOW, action that came with it), it is a whole new ballgame with this guitar! Right. The guy said he bought it two months ago, and I doubt it's been set up. For the price I paid for it, I can afford to put some more into it. I might even swap the pick guard for one of those cool looking vintage Gibbie guards with points. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for arrival.... That's a great deal Cougar - well done and good luck with the new guitar - I have to say I love the colours that the Texan comes in and both the cherryburst and antique natural are gorgeous.

B) I considered switching out for a Gibson teardrop one to make it look like a J-50, but I decided against changing the pickguard, because the original Texan is an iconic guitar and the IB64 looks exactly like it. Let us know what you think of it once you get it properly setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what you think of it once you get it properly setup! I have to agree with Ciff. I used to change pickguards at the drop of a hat but not on the Texan - noo noo noo - it looks just right as it is - leave it alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean. Here is an actual 1964 Epiphone FT-79 Texan currently up on Reverb. He's asking 26 times what I paid for the reissue, which is looking pretty darn solid at the moment.

They're not 26 times the price better than the current IB64 models. They're also not as comfortable to play since they have the 60's era uber-skinny necks. I would take mine over a vintage one every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
