Epiphone EF500RA Masterbilt Acoustic Guitar The Epiphone Masterbilt EF500RA Acoustic Guitar has such a great tone and feel, you will not want to put it down.
The Masterbilt EF500RA provides you with a solid Sitka spruce top along with solid rosewood back and sides that produces the ultimate sound in warmth, projection and clarity. The EF500RA is not only a joy to play, but also to behold. Building upon our successful EF500R we added a striking sunburst finish option and hundreds of individually hand fitted abalone binding strips to make sure this instrument looks as beautiful as it sounds. Built for the discriminating fingerstyle guitarist, the EF500RA features a parlor size body. The 1 3/4 inch nut completes the package, making this instrument a fingerstyle players dream. Other features include gold hardware, set mahogany neck, pearl diamond neck inlays and abalone binding for a stunning look that is bound to turn some heads.
Review by Peter S. Kohman in the March 2006 issue of Guitar World Acoustic Magazine. Here is what Peter had to say:
...The setup was perfect and the fretwork clean and well executed - it simply plays like a dream...
...The EF-500RA-VS is one fine instrument; the moderate price tag makes it even more impressive...
...Epiphone has created a true modern vintage guitar at a price that most players can justify...
...The company should be proud of this series and the EF-500RA-VS in particular,
as its sound and feel rival those of far more costly guitars. Masterbilt, indeed...
