I bought an Epiphone Texan in a hock shop in Vallejo in about 1965. Great sound, probably from the 50's. Left it with my girl friend when I went into the service and when I got back there was a story about it just disappearing one day.
If you own a 50's Texan and notice that is sounds better tuned up a half step then contact me. I'd love to visit it and share a very interesting back story. No worries about how it changed hands, 40 years is a long time. finemc29 at aol.com
