1964 Texan -

[E-minor7]

Have an Inspired by 1964 Texan here and just saw there exists a Limited Edition as well. Are they the same ?

And could somebody please tell us a about how these 'followers' differ from the original. . .

I've checked out European dealers & it seems the guitars are exactly the same except for a Limited Edition logo on the back of the headstock!

Price still the same.

Thank you - I have the feeling you own or know a thing or 2 about the 60'ties original. Is it right ?

No,I own 60's Epi jumbos,but not a Texan.I have a Macca Texan MIJ AND AN ib64 sunburst.I had an Elitist Texan for a while,but sold it when I got the McCartney.A US Texan was the 1st good acoustic I PLAYED IN THE 60's,but I couldn't afford it

I have a Macca Texan MIJ AND AN ib64 sunburst.

 

Aha, , , how would you compare these 2 ?

The Macca is a wonderful guitar-better than some originals.It's very light & responsive.It's never left the house & only one other person has played it.He loved it & he's a Martin &Guild player.

The IB(DAFT NAME)is more like the Elitist.Sunburst finish,yes,but not as exact a re-issue.IT'S HEAVIER,Feels bigger.Ive hardly touched the set-up,I found another player playing it and he said it wasn't bass heavy,but quite even across the strings.Elecrical system has been replaced by a system I prefer.no controls in the soundhole.It'll probably be my main electro,tho' we rarely DI THESE DAYS,PREFERRING ACOUSTIC INTO MICS.

Sign in - click on your pseudonym and continue to click on 'My settings'. Then switch over to 'profile' on the upper light-blue long-zone. Get an overview and see if you can find a point regarding photos. In my case it would say, 'Wanna change photo' or something like that. Find the button that connects you to your personal pc-stuff (select a file) and pick your avatar-shot. In rough that's how you do it.

 

Thank you for the comparison - I understand the Macca model is a step better than the IB. Is it right. . .

THANKS,NOW GOT A PICTURE ON MY POSTS.

Yes,the Macca is better than the Elitist and the IB.

Since,like me you've got a re-furb with different electrics,I'll say its a

good guitar for the money.sHOULD IMPROVE WITH AGE & PLAYING,

Cheers,

I did not like the pickups in the Epiphone I.B 64' either until i learned something very interesting about them. When Bass and Treble are set at 12 noon, it actual adding alot of db to each pot. Setting the pots all the way down i noticed..this is the neutral response as if it where 12 noon on other electronics. Once i learned this, i was able to get it decent no where as near as muddy. Is actually the best UST i have heard but...its def not a L.R Baggs iMIX or K&K western. ;)

 

Using the Fishman Aura pedal on the "Texan" setting with this UST, really makes my Texans "natural" tone project through the P.A. Fishman out-did themselves on that thing. WOW! ITS GREAT.
