A Classic Dreadnought Comes Back to the USA
Epiphone is positively ecstatic to once again offer a USA-made edition of their legendary Frontier to the playing public. This classic Dove-style dreadnought acoustic guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top with solid figured maple back and sides for powerful, punchy treble and midrange, adding sparkling tone to your performances. A smooth, stunning mahogany neck with Indian rosewood fingerboard offers impeccable response and playability, and a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint with hot hide glue ensures not only enhanced resonance but also durability. And when you plug in the Frontier, you will be blown away by the pristine, natural acoustic tone from the onboard LR Baggs VTC pickup. From stem to stern, the Epiphone USA Frontier acoustic-electric guitar is designed for incredible tone, playability, and presentation!
Fine appointments and stunning detail
The Epiphone Frontier has all the attention to detail and design elements that their USA-made acoustic guitars are known for. To begin, traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing provides not only enhanced resonance but also tonal support that is subtle but present with every note and every strum. A genuine Indian rosewood fingerboard, a belly-up bridge, and a real bone and nut saddle also add resonance, not to mention stage-ready presentation. An imitation tortoiseshell pickguard with engraved lariat and cactus graphics is a mesmerizing nod to the original Frontier. Keeping you in tune is a set of stunning gold-plated Gotoh Keystone tuners. Finally, mother-of-pearl slotted rectangle inlays adorn the rosewood fingerboard for stunning vintage appeal.
Impeccable amplified acoustic tone
LR Baggs's popular VTC acoustic pickup system is a favorite among acoustic guitarists at Sweetwater. This system features a low-profile under-saddle transducer that enhances the coupling between the pickup and the guitar for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and removable volume control that is mounted just inside the soundhole, the VTC gives the Epiphone Frontier acoustic-electric guitar the amplification you need — with zero compromises for tone or convenience.
