Everything’s bigger in Texas! For your consideration a 1966 Epiphone FT79 Texan! Most famously this model was play by Paul McCartney on the recording and live performance of Yesterdays.

Once Gibson procured Epiphone they were built in the Kalamazoo factory from 1957 till 1970. The Texan is a special dreadnought that guitarist just cant seem to put down.

When you see guitarist from all sorts of genres (pop, blues, grunge!) gravitating towards this model, you know theres something special going on. This Texan is a great rhythm guitar.
