Undersized, Travel-friendly Acoustic-electric Captures Playability of a Classic!

When you want to take the classic tone, playability, and feel of an iconic Epiphone Texan to the beach or on the plane or if you just want to play a classic, here is the Epiphone Lil' Tex Travel acoustic-electric guitar. This undersized guitar features a solid spruce top and sapele back and sides for robust, full tone and impressive projection. A mahogany neck with granadillo fingerboard offers stellar response and playability. And when you are ready to plug in, a passive piezo under-saddle pickup provides incredible amplified acoustic tone.

A classic!

The Epiphone Texan has a storied history. Introduced in 1957, it grew in popularity and became a staple in the emerging folk scene as well as among rockers like Paul McCartney who used it on the recording of "Yesterday." Many years later, Kurt Cobain used an Epiphone Texan on the recording of In Utero. The Lil' Tex gives guitarists the flavors and feel of this true acoustic icon — we love the Lil' Tex here at Sweetwater!

Good guitar

Good product.

A Cool Lil Critter.

I got this here at Sweetwater, courtesy of Myron Fett. It's a very cool piece, better than i expected. I like the plugged in the amp sound,even on my all tube amp, it had a live,acoustic sound as compared to my Fishman solo performer SA220 and it sounds terrific on that also. If you want a mini/gigbag without breaking the bank? Here's your guy.I love mine.

Lil Tex got some mojo

So I love to play parlor guitars and have never owned a travel guitar. I got Lil Tex and was really surprised how nice it sounds and plays. Excited to have a guitar for camping and traveling. Epiphone really did a great job on this design. Love the finish and look of the guitar. It's got a parlor feel the pick up sounds decent too. And a gig bag which I personally feel should come with every guitar. Nice guitar for a great price
