Epiphone Masterbilt EN546CE Nylon String Classical Guitar
There is nothing quite like the sound of a classical guitar. The tonality these guitars are capable of and the emotions they can arouse are legendary. No wonder the classical guitar has been around for hundreds of years. Experience one today. The Masterbilt EN546CE features a solid cedar top with solid rosewood back and sides. This combination lends itself to one of the smoothest classical tones ever produced from Epiphone. The cutaway body shape allows upper-fret access and comfort for steel-string and classical players alike. Other features include a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and gold hardware.
Masterbilt Tradition
Epiphone began building production guitars in 1928. Over the next 2 decades the company blossomed into one of the most innovative and popular guitar brands the world had ever seen. As the Banjo boom declined and the age of the Guitar progressed, Epiphone dominated the market with its Masterbilt line of guitars. Today, Epiphone continues that tradition with the exceptional Masterbilt Acoustic Series. Combining beautiful solid tonewoods and superior craftsmanship with classic appointments such as the historic Epiphone script logo and mother of pearl “stickpin” inlay, the Epiphone Masterbilt Acoustic Series provides guitarists of any level with an instrument they will be proud to play.
Modern Masterbilts
Today’s Masterbilt Acoustic Series encompasses many of the most coveted aspects of fine guitar building for a remarkable price. Each Masterbilt guitar is constructed of the finest all solid tonewoods. The tops are braced using the 1930’s wide X bracing and extra deep scarfing to produce incredible resonance. The joints are hand fitted and glued using authentic hot hide glue, and the bridges and fingerboard are constructed of premium solid rosewood. The saddle is compensated bone, as is the nut. This premium construction is capped off with deluxe appointments including gold open backed tuners, a tapered headstock, mother-of-pearl inlays, and real abalone binding (on some models) to provide an instrument that is as impressive to look at as it is to play, feel, and hear.
