Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Electro Acoustic Guitars

All Epiphone Masterbilt series acoustic guitars feature solid spruce tops with hand-scalloped sitka spruce braces and solid mahogany back and sides with a rosewood bridge and bone saddle. The DR-500 MCE is a dreadnought body shape and the wood combination gives it all of the classic earmarks. The booming bass, midrange projection, and ringing highs have made dreadnoughts a favorite among musicians across many decades and musical genres. Unlike those classic guitars, the DR-500 MCE’s cutaway allows for easy access to upper frets. Vintage Sunburst finish and classy rosette help keep the vintage style. The DR-500 MCE is also available in Natural.

The one-piece mahogany neck is cut into a SlimTaper “D” profile and has been plek’d by Epiphone for excellent playability. It also features a hide-glued, dove-tailed neck joint, as seen in all classic ’30s era acoustics. The bound, rosewood fingerboard has 20 medium frets and pearloid split-diamond inlay. A bone nut gives way to a historic off-set-style headstock with stickpin inlay, 3-ply binding and Grover Sta-Tite machine heads.

Backed by Epiphone’s Limited Lifetime Guarantee, the DR-500 MCE is sure to make good on Epiphone’s original assurance of an instrument built “for lifetime performance and pleasure.
