Brad shows his Epiphone Elitist 1964 Texan on the Offerings Experience DVD. That's where he tells us: "I've been told by Third Day's engineer that this is the best sounding guitar ever plugged in. It sounds really, really good. I'm pretty proud of that. It sounds great by itself, it sounds awesome by itself and the fact that it sounds good plugged in, it's a bonus." Brad played this guitar in the studio, but also live. In fact, he played it a lot during Third Day's Christmas Offerings tour.

Brad probably had the "E" emblem removed from the pickguard. Also, the inlays of Brad's Texan are reverse when you compare it to other Epiphone Elitist 1964 Texans, like this one.
