Here for sale we have an Epiphone Masterbilt Century De Luxe Archtop Electro Acoustic Guitar in a Vintage Natural finish. Manufactured in China in 2016, this guitar features a set neck construction comprising a Solid Spruce top, a Laminated Flame Maple body, a 5-piece Laminated Hard Maple/Mahogany neck adorned with a 20-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other features include Epiphone Reissue tuners, floating Ebonoid bridge and a long tortoise shell pickguard. Fitted in this instrument are a Shadow NanoFlex HD Under Saddle pickup and an eSonic HD preamp.
The masterbilt range is designed to give the look and feel of a classic archtop whilst utilising modern features. The Mahogany neck is carved into a Rounded “C” Shape profile, filling the hand generously whilst still retaining a comfortable feel. This big bodied archtop guitar has a loud, full tone with a really bright response thanks to the maple back and sides. With plenty of resonance and balance, this guitar stands out as an instrument that holds its own when accompanying a voice or picking out a lead line.
The Masterbilt Century De Luxe comes fitted with a Shadow NanoFlex HD Under-Saddle pickup and an eSonic HD preamp system that sits just inside the treble side ‘F’ hole with its volume and tone control. The Pickup and preamp system allow the player to experience an archtop acoustic guitar plugged in, offering a sensitive response that delivers the true representation of the unplugged tone. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to recording and playing live.
