    Tim, like yourself, is a class act. Tim is such an unsung guitar great. Always glad to see Tim get the much deserved recognition

    Tim is so talented but modest too. Always enjoy watching him play and talk about guitars. Norm too of course!

    The legend is that those 25.5"-scale necks (minus the fretboards and nuts) came from the Epiphone overstock that Gibson got from the acquisition -- IOW, that Texan is a true Gibson-Epiphone hybrid instrument. I like this one better that most of the old J-45s and J-50s I've heard over the years -- and that finish checking/crazing is about as "vintagey" as it gets.

    The Texan sounds great , especially played by master Pierce.
    Had one of these years ago.
    Taking out the nuts and bolts, holding down the bridge, makes this guitar sound much better.
    Thanks for the show Norm.
    Good stories. Let Tim play more please.
    Golden slumbers all you guitar lovers.

    Hey Norm, i have my dad's 1964 Epiphone Texan but it has the original black plastic "ebony" bridge. Looks and sounds great :)

    The late, great Bill Morrissey played a Texan. It’s a shame that only a small number of people know who he is. One of our great songwriters. Please check out “Birches,” “inside,” “These Cold Fingers,” “Barstow,” the list goes on… RIP Bill.

Thanks BigAl California.

    Norm.
    You have to write these stories down. Or dictate them so someone else can write them down. It's important that these little bits of history get recorgan so they don't get forgotten. I actually think it's your responsibility to do that. I believe it's important.
