View Full DescriptionSupreme playability
A guitar designed to give you your most natural playing experience ever. Epiphone have fitted the Masterbilt DR-400MCE with a 1960's SlimTaper neck. The neck's profile tapers as you move your hand along it, ensuring comfort at every point along the guitar's scale. This will allow you to play even the most difficult chord and note sequences with ease. This is an instrument that's tailored to help you perform at your very best.
Tremendous tonewood construction
Beautiful. A fitting word to describe the amazing tones that the Masterbilt will give to you and your music. Epiphone have crafted this wonderful guitar with premium tonewoods to ensure that it's capable of sounding brilliant at any pitch.
You'll enjoy superb depth and warmth courtesy of solid mahogany used for the Masterbilt's body. A dense tonewood, mahogany will provide a richness and fullness of voice to everything you play, especially at the low end of the scale. Sharpness and brightness is available in abundance, too. A sitka spruce top brings a far-reaching dynamic range into the mix, with particular emphasis on making your high notes sing and sparkle with sharpness and definition. This blend of woods creates a guitar that's tonally superb.
Made for the stage
Don't let the Masterbilt's beautiful, natural acoustic tones fool you. This is a powerful electro acoustic that will bring awesome dynamism to your live performances. You can play with volume big enough to fill any venue without sacrificing the guitar's authentic acoustic sound. A NanoFlex HD pickup can communicate your guitar's natural voice flawlessly.
Furthermore, you'll have all the tools you need to shape your perfect sound. An eSonic preamp system features an in-built EQ, meaning you can adjust your instrument's overall voice to emphasise the tones that you feel will best suit your music. Ideal for guitarists who perform live regularly, the Epiphone Masterbilt will ensure quality in your gigs and concerts, every time.
Unlimited invention
Many electro acoustic guitars can leave their players feeling shackled, due to clunky, awkward-to-manoeuvre bodies holding them back. This isn't a problem you'll encounter with the DR-400MCE. It features a cutaway body shape, giving you total access to the top end of the fretboard. As a result, you can play freely along the guitar's full scale length without difficulty. Get yourself a guitar that never inhibits your creativity.
Perfect tuning
Accuracy is the key to sounding amazing. Without a guitar that can stay in-tune, you'll never be able to experience your music sounding the way it should. The Epiphone Masterbilt is fitted with a super-strong bone nut to help maintain your tuning, and ensure that you're always pitch perfect. Bone is the optimum nut material for keeping your strings in-tune for longer, reducing the need for annoying re-tuning and making it much less likely for your guitar to fall out of key during a song. This is total precision in sound.
