Not a Gibson, but a nice sounding Epiphone

That was cool. Pretty nice recording studio in there, too.

And the Epi sounds great. What model is that, and from what era?

From a Vintage Guitar magazine article -

This ’66 Epiphone Texan was Pat Simmons’ primary guitar before he joined the Doobies, and until he finally bought his first electric guitar at the band’s urging. He used it to write and record “Black Water,” “Slippery St. Paul,” “Larry the Logger,” “South City Midnight Lady,” “Slack Key Soquel Rag,” and many other songs.

Cool!  I own a 1955/56 Epiphone FT-79  but it is a very different beast.

I too own a 1955/56 Epiphone FT79 (pre-Texan).  Mine has a natural finish.  Very cool guitars.
