 Jimi Hendrix also owned and used an Epiphone Texan. Bought from Manny's in N.Y.C..  Explaining that it was his favorite acoustic.It all starts with the classic sloped-shoulder or Advanced Jumbo (AJ) shape. Unlike ordinary dreadnoughts, the Texan features a more rounded upper bout and a larger lower bout with a subtle waist. Resembling a bell shape, this leads to a more balanced tone with shimmering highs, deeper lows and clearer mid-range that's perfect for singer/songwriters and other solo performers. The Texan features a premium solid Spruce top with a solid Mahogany back and Mahogany rims. Solid woods resonate beautifully and only improve with age. The neck is standard 1 9/16th inches solid Mahogany topped with a Rosewood fingerboard adorned with the parallelogram inlays.
