Here for sale we have an Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500MENS Acoustic Guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in 2005, this guitar consists of a Solid Sitka Spruce top, Solid Mahogany back and sides, a Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include ivoroid body binding with multi-ply purfling, open-gear Grover tuners and an under-saddle piezo with soundhole-mounted master volume.

 

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a C profile feeling comfortable in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The light gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth transitions up and down the neck, making the 25.5” scale feel easily manoeuvrable. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 17” radius provides a nicely flat and consistent surface right the way up the register. The familiar lines of the sloped shoulder dreadnought body shape are as smooth and comfortable as ever, ensuring an enjoyable playing experience in either standing or seated positions. 

 

The voice of the Masterbilt AJ-500 is bright and shimmery thanks to its Mahogany and Spruce construction. The low end is understated yet detailed, with a smooth midrange that ensures your chord playing sounds tight and controlled. The top end is bright enough to accommodate both strumming and fingerstyle techniques with ease. The Solid Spruce top projects very well, providing a wide dynamic range that feels sensitive to the player’s touch. This is a guitar which sounds just as at home as part of an ensemble as it does as a solo instrument. When amplified, the pickup presents the guitar's sound on full display keeping its natural rich tones. 

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
