This is from the limited edition of 250 made at the Gibson Bozeman plant in Montana in 2005. It is # 29 of 250 and includes a signed label by Paul McCartney. Includes all paperwork and COA, plus the Ultra Light Custom Hardcase with built-in humidifier and yellow insignia.
This is the acoustic guitar which Paul used to record “Yesterday,” and also played the song on the Ed Sullivan show in 1965.
The guitar was purchased by the original owner and stored for the past 20 years. It still has the original strings! String height: 6/64 treble, 8/64 bass at the 12th fret with plenty of saddle left (it’s never been touched). The guitar is a true time capsule – it’s like buying a new one if that was possible.
Additional features include:
• Solid mahogany back/sides, Sitka Spruce top, and Rosewood fingerboard
• Vintage 1964 tapered dovetail neck joint and adjustable bridge saddle
• 25.5” Scale/1.68” Nut Width
• “Mother of Pearl” parallelogram fingerboards inlays with historic “Dot” headstock inlay
• “Mother of Pearl” vintage Epiphone logo on headstock
• Tortoise pickguard with original foil “E” logo
• Nickel Hardware
• Custom lightweight fabric-covered guitar case with McCartney’s signature and model name embroidered on the front
• Individually Numbered Certificate of Authenticity
This has to be the cleanest 2005 Epiphone FT-79 Texan on the planet, and it’s Left Handed. I’ve only seen one other Lefty out of the run of 250. This is a must-have guitar for the Beatles/Paul McCartney fan!
