Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
One of the best things about this guitar is how well made it is
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I had it for a little over one year play it daily and the sound has got better with no problems...Epiphone masterbilt's are built to last
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Great guitar for the money...but lets be real...To many people rate these guitars as good as guitars costing 4 to 5 times the price..I have Breedlove,Taylor, Martin and Guild all in the price range of 2500.00 to 4000.00 the sound of the epiphone masterbilt is good but their is a difference...I do love my Epi Masterbilt DR-500M I play it every day..I will say this...it will hold it's own with any acoustic guitar in the $1500.00 price range and Yes,I would buy it again
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Plays fast and a nice feel to the neck
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Tone to me is smooth and Mellow great sound for fingerpicking
