From Our Research Team:

A Masterbilt Guitar with a Rosewood Body!

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 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

Best value for the money

by Jerry from New York

Music Background: guitarist
Ive had this guitar for almost 2 years, its probably nicer than the stuff the other major brands put out at this price. At this price Epiphone cant be beat, Im not buying a $600 Martin or Takamine wh... read more [+]en those companies really just make guitars at the $2000 level and cant do justice to a less expensive instrument. Sounds a bit dark but well balanced, a poor man's Gibson for sure. Recently Ive tuned the guitar to open F and may keep it that way and just use other guitars for standard tuning. In open F this guitar almost plays itself. Neck is straight, frets are polished well and the guitar isnt too large. close [-]
