Mac has used an Epiphone FT-79 Texan since at least around 2019, but it has recently become his main acoustic guitar, the one he used on most of the recent shows (around 2023/24), Based on the photos, it’s a vintage model, probably from the 60s (based on the headstock logo), and it features a dark sunburst finish.
On a few ocassions, Mac had it fitted with a Sunrise S2 soundhole pickup.
In some of the most recent shows, a photograph can be seen glued on top of the guitar. If you happen to know who the person on the photo is, please be sure to leave a comment below.
