The Epiphone Masterbilt EF-500RCCE is a guitar that can just sit there and lookpretty.. The Natural Satin stained solid Cedar top is visually stunning set on the satin finished sold Rosewood sides and back. This guitar should be on a rotating stand so that the beauty of the Rosewood back and sides could be displayed as well as the slightly darkened warm ceder front. Many collectors buy guitars and put them on display and rarely ever touch them.
This would be an excellent candidate for your personal guitar museum.
Entering a room full of beautifully crafted guitars is a unique
experience.
It can take your breath away. Sorry, I am getting off track.
I’m on track, the guitar aficionado will appreciate this. Name another instrument on planet earth that has caused as much commotion and reverence as the guitar.
You will not regret having the EF-500RCCE in your collection. The appealing choice of tone woods are balanced with gold hardware and classic Epiphone craft work. The thin offset headstock has Grover open gear tuners commensurate to the period add to the historic feel that the Masterbilt collection has been striving for. The Epiphone script stands out over the Masterbilt logo on the nut cover plate. Split diamond fretboard dots decorate the rose wood fingerboard on mahogany neck. The neck is expertly dovetailed into the body.
The Epiphone EF-500RCCE is crafted to excel in sound as it does in sight. This guitar was engineered by fingerstyle guitarists for fingerstyle guitarists. The solid cedar and rosewood combination is often used by many of the great fingerstyle artists. The wider fretboard is one and three quarter inches at the nut and the scale length is twenty five and a half inches long. Smaller than a dreadnought, this concert size guitar has a single cutaway.
The results are a brighter sound with the individual notes clearly heard.
Two pickups complete the Epiphone EF-500s sonic package producing outstanding mixtures of harmonic beauty. The eSonic2 system by Shadow of Germany, consists of two pickups combined into one system. The Nanoflex pickup is placed under the saddle and simultaneously detects the vibration from the strings and the soundboard. You will find the Nanomag pickup at the end of the fretboard in the soundhole. Each pickup can be output to a separate channel to produce an expansive stereo sound. From vintage design and engineering, to prime tonewood components, to the best available electronics, Epiphone has assembled a first rate guitar for the performing fingerstyle musician.
You are not going to believe the price. You can get the guitar, a case, and a couple of sets of strings for less than a thousand bucks. Epiphone has done all they can to make this an incredible instrument. The ball is in your court.
You owe it to yourself to experience the EF-500RCCE right away.
