The Sound and Feel of a 1930s Epiphone!

Epiphone revives the prestige of its 1930s guitars with the new Masterbilt Acoustic Series. These new flat-top guitars feature solid wood construction and a distinctive 1930s-style "offset notch" peghead shape with historic Epiphone script logo and mother-of-pearl "stickpin" inlay.

The Epiphone EF-500 Collection was designed by and for fingerstyle players. The guitars of the EF-500 Collection deliver the ultimate sound and feel of classic vintage acoustic guitars. A "modern V" neck pays tribute to the great Epiphones of the mid-1900s, while the wider nut (1.750") provides perfect steel-string, fingerstyle spacing. With its combination of solid mahogany body and Sitka spruce top the EF-500M has great projection and clarity.

The beautiful grain of the Masterbilt woods is enhanced with a natural satin or vintage-style shaded finish. The dreadnought and fingerstyle models have full-body abalone binding, tapered dovetail neck joints glued with hot hide glue and are available with the L.R. Baggs Element system - call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for details.

epihone masterbuilt acoustic ef500m

by ken from honolulu, hawaii
October 12, 2006
Music Background: 21 years guitar/ 30 years blues harp... just starting out
any guitar, the main thing should be sound/playabity of each one. upon first playing this one, the sound really projects very well . the satin finish allows the guitar's sound not to be hampered under... read more [+] the usual coats of finish(wich are only for looks anyway)add in that the nut and the saddle are made from bone and "oh yeah, how sweet it is"!! the wider set string spacing (1.75") for ease of finger playing is great. nice smaller body type size feels good and the weight feels nice and lite ... an extra thing is the rather nice embroidered case wich even has a hydrometer gage inside for checking the humidity when you lay this puppy down to sleep. I am truley pleased with this gem and impressed that the quality and designs of the 1930's is still quite as nice today. every person that has heard it has mentioned how the sound is really being projected ,really fills a room nicely. close [-]
