Epiphone EF-500RCCE Masterbilt Collection Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Fingerstyle Neck, Natural Satin

The ultimate cutaway electric/acoustic! The Masterbilt EF500RCCE may have a lot of letters in its name, but that's because it is feature packed beyond belief. Start with an all-Solid Rosewood slightly smaller "parlour-size" body with a generous cutaway, add wide- X 30's style scalloped bracing design supporting a warm-sounding, Solid Cedar top with a super-thin finish to promote maximum acoustic resonance and tone. It has a Rosewood bridge and fingerboard, Bone nut and Bone saddle and offers increased fingerboard comfort from slightly wider string spacing for fingerstyle playing and vintage "V" neck profile for better leverage and control. The Mahogany neck is set with real hide-glue into a hand-cut, hand-fit, solid wood dovetail neck joint, like premier guitars should be. It is voiced by the Shadow eSonic2 preamp, featuring the revolutionary Shadow NanoFex and NanoMag pick-up systems with stereo output and built-in electronic tuner. The EF-500RCCE is the ready to play to any size crowd, anywhere and make other guitar players very envious.

Epiphone EF-500RA Masterbilt Collection Acoustic Guitar, Fingerstyle Neck, Natural Satin Reviews

Review by P. Novak:

I tried this guitar out over the weekend, bought one, and it is an amazing instrument. I'm not given to impulse purchases this expensive, but it was love at first strum As with all of the Masterbilt guitars, the quality is outstanding. I could not find a flaw anywhere on the instrument. The abalone inlays are generous, and I love the look. If you aren't into the decorations, the lower end models are the same but less ornate as far as I could tell from the specs. I have been playing fingerstyle for a couple of years, but this is the first fingerstyle guitar I have tried. What a difference! First off the neck, the V neck is very comfortable and makes barre chords much easier. For normal playing the V sits comfortable in the hand. The neck on this guitar is wider than a normal guitar, it doesn't take too much time to adjust. If you have bigger fingers this will be great, but my fingers are small and it's not a problem. Now on to the sound.. The instrument has a smaller body, which I assume accounts for the diminished bass, and overall excellent tone balance. My AJ model Masterbilt was always boomy, the bass overwhelming the other strings when fingerpicking, not this guitar. I find the guitar easier to play when I'm not having to compensate for the bass. It is easier to get a good volume from the guitar as well I found.

Try this guitar and you will be amazed!
