Full Description
View Full DescriptionEpiphone tonewood excellence
The stunning sounds of Epiphone. It's all in the tonewoods, and the Frontier gives you a marvellous blend of materials to work with. Firstly, a solid sitka spruce top provides soaring projection and crisp definition for your notes. That's combined with solid maple back and sides to give a sweet, bright texture to every sound it emits. Working together, these woods create a balanced tonal range that's the kind every artist and singer-songwriter craves.
Also, it's all solid wood, and that means it gets even better as it gets older. Over the years it will mature and develop, providing an even richer sound to match your developed playing skills. It's superb now, and perfected later.
An inviting neck and fretboard
It's where your songs come to life. You'll have a delightful playing experience on a mahogany neck that's shaped in a "C" profile for your comfort. It feels heavenly in the hand, and lets you play unrestricted by fatigue and those awkward cramps from fingering complex chords. It will bring out your best playing.
Sitting on the mahogany neck is a laurel fretboard. It's smooth, responsive and soft to touch, and encourages expansive performances. Its silky surface means that you'll be able to glide up and down the scales with ease, letting you command the registers and vary up your music. And with medium jumbo sized frets, you'll find the action point with ease, giving the Frontier an effortless feel that's incredibly rewarding.
Stand out on stage
Sometimes an acoustic just isn't loud enough. The Frontier, however, will always make you heard thanks to its Fishman Sonitone preamp system. Taking live performance to the next level, Fishman are industry leaders of pickup design and engineering. So you can be sure that when you plug in the Frontier, this genius preamp will retain all the warmth, detail and clarity of your notes. Turn up the volume as loud as you like, the Sonitone will ensure you get crystal clear sonic reproduction to engage your audience.
With a guitar as gorgeous as the Frontier, style is important. If you're not a fan of preamp systems sticking out on the side of acoustics then the Fishman Sonitone is for you. Mounted underneath the sound hole, it contains volume and tone controls for discreet sound shaping. So not only do you retain the rich detail of the Frontier's sounds, you also are treated to an impeccable body with no unsightly controls.
Frontier glamour
Details count. And the Masterbilt Frontier is full of them. They culminate in a guitar that thrives on stage and is born to lift your performance. In historic style you've got split pearloid "split block" inlays on the fretboard and vintage gold, keystone button tuning machines to capture the essence of the original. To embellish the Frontier heritage, there's also a breathtaking aged gloss natural finish, to impart you with authentic Epiphone chic.
As well as being true to the original appointments, you'll enjoy an almost endless sustain and rock solid string stability courtesy of the Graph Tech NuBone nut and bone string saddles. These premium components give your strings a secure anchor and let them vibrate freely for the best clarity. Last, and certainly not least, is the stunning and captivating pickguard flanking the body. Sporting the revered "Cactus and Rope" design, it completes the appearance of an instrument that's stepped straight out of the '60s. Timeless tone, effortless playability and powerful projection, all yours in a package that couldn't be classier if it tried.
