From Our Research Team:

A Great Fingerstyle Guitar

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. The matching of a solid rosewood body with a Sitka spruce top gives the EF-500R the warmth and projection so highly sought by performing musicians.

The beautiful grain of the Masterbilt woods is enhanced with a natural satin finish. The fingerstyle EF-500RA has a full-body abalone binding and tapered dovetail neck joint glued with hot hide glue.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
