Default NAMM 2020 - Epiphone Texan made in Bozeman!?

I really hope this is correct, I was so close to buying one of the Peter Frampton limited edition Texans. I wonder what the pricing will be like on them? American made but with the Epiphone logo it must come in around or below a G series Gibson?

There's a photo of it in this story. Looks like a USA made Epiphone Texan for 2020, along with the Masterbilt Original Collection that will include the Frontier and Excellente.

Wow. If they could come out with a Bozeman-made, all-solid (probably walnut, I guess?) Texan at a price lower than the G-45 Studio, that would be amazing, and very cool.

In 94’ they released a Bozeman Texan. Not vintage spec at all, pressed back if my memory serves me correctly. It’s going to be interesting To see if the guitar is going to be more along the lines of the elitist or something more modern. My guess is that it won’t be walnut, but mahogany and spruce Like the originals. The neck width is what I’m most interested in. Will it it be 1 9/16, 1 11/16, or 1 3/4? In any event, I’m going to be on the list to get one as soon as they are released. Can’t wait to see if the the two masterbilts as well.

$2,700-- definitely not an Epihone-ish price! I'm still eager to try one out, though buying one is most likely not in the cards for me...
