Members Mikeo Posted September 30, 2017 Members Share Posted September 30, 2017 I like the thin body of the Century. That guitar is just begging for a small supro or Princeton amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emory Posted October 1, 2017 Members Share Posted October 1, 2017 Sweet. I'd suggest buying a second case. Squeezing both into one case can't be a good thing I reckon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted October 1, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2017 I obtained the Century from MF , and also ordered a case . They sent me a very nice case , for a Les Paul ( I put that thing in a gig bag very heavy duty , fake crocodile/alligator and leather It fit OK . I put this thing in the LP case and used the bag it was in , for a small acoustic thing , it flops around a bit , but keeps it covered OK this thing is now in a brand new case , which wasn't the case I had originally ordered, but it all worked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted October 1, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2017 It is nice case , not what I ordered , or payed for ,( I payed for what was sent ) And , I used it sorry no pic ...this time ...not an instrument , just a black case : When you order a guitar with a "matching case" do you expect to get a case that actually fits the guitar you ordered ? What do you think ? lol :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I like that acoustic. I need something like that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted October 2, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I like that acoustic. I need something like that too I don't work for Epiphone , or anyone, right now , except myself . I worked many a long day and night. OK that being said , If you are looking for a nice acoustic guitar , try an Epiphone Masterbilt DR 500 thing I'm happy I did. really if you are able , try 1 out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted October 2, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I wonder if I call mf , and tell them , in a very nice way...the case I ordered and asked for , to fit the "Epiphone Century" guitar i just ordered , is the wrong size case. The guitar does not fit in the case . The case is too small. The case you sent is for a Les Paul style guitar. Also , the proper matching case is grey or brown , not black. I want to return the case that I received , and obtain the case I had originally ordered...the proper Epiphone "matching" case , made for that particular instrument . I wonder if they will tell me to just keep the case they sent , and send out the correct one ? They would probably send another "wrong" case , maybe. Well, nothing ventured....I'm going to try , later...Maybe I'll get a "free" case...??? What do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've got something like that with my Epiphone AJ 500M. What I need is an archtop acoustic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I hope you kept the return label to put on the box that I also hope you kept.Either way it all starts with a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 First, that's a sweet pair of Epiphones. Congratulations. Second, regarding the case, when I bought my Schecter, it was from a pawn shop. I asked about a case and the salesman went in the back and brought out a gig bag made for a great big acoustic. I thanked him, sold that bag on CraigsList and bought a nice Charvel-branded bag on Amazon. As for contacting MF, people in customer service positions take a lot of crap. I say this from experience. A reasonable tone will get you a lot further. Remember that the person you're speaking to didn't screw up your order. Don't take it out on him/her. If you don't get satisfaction, ask to speak to a supervisor but remain calm and respectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I played a Masterbilt in a small guitar shop once that truly wowed me. I was playing some other higher end pieces, Gibsons, etc. and the store owner said, "Here give this one a try". It was vibrant loud and well balanced, everything I'd want in an acoustic. I hesitated, did not buy, and the next time I grabbed one in a store it didn't have quite the same "wow" to it. One of these days I'll grab my next "wow" experience with an acoustic. I find that they vary so much from piece to piece that that is the only way for me to buy one. But yeah, I was very impressed by the tone I heard from that MIC Epi,. Priced around 5 bills, but blind folded I could have guess 4x that. I'd indeed be curious to try out the new Century models. They ooze cool.
