Members Rich Posted April 2, 2007 Members Posted April 2, 2007 I can't remember the model nomenclatures to save my life, but they all rang out and had nice bass response with a lot of zing in the treble. I give it the 'bang for the buck" award.

Members carguy Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 I'm not surprised. Epiphone has been making some really fine guitars recently, both acoustic and electric. The line between Epiphone and Gibson is beginning to blur. Don't get me wrong, Gibsons are fine guitars, but many people feel they are overpriced. As Epiphone quality continues to improve they become more and more a sensible alternative to much higher priced guitars, including Gibsons.
Members guitarist21 Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 Epi makes awesome guitars. Especially the Masterbilts. Its like an eternal truth. Ellen
Members Rich Posted April 3, 2007 Author Members Posted April 3, 2007 That's it! The acoustics I was playing were masterbuilt models. I was getting ready to buy myself a big old taylor 800 model, but may hold off and get a masterbuilt and install an LR Baggs pickup in it.
Members guit30 Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 Love your Avatar too and LR Baggs are great Jim

I was getting ready to buy myself a big old taylor 800 model, but may hold off and get a masterbuilt and install an LR Baggs pickup in it. They have a masterbilt model with a cut away and an LR baggs undersaddle installed for 500 bucks!!!!insane. I saw/played it at guitar center today and was amazed. I believe it was the ef-500r-cce? or something along those lines. There are only two masterbilts with a cut away, one is nylon string the other one..would be the one I played.Kevin
Members T0MCAT Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah those are great, all the GCs have them now, under 500 is awesome, I think the GC's around here sell them for 575 ish, (maybe it was 475, I forget now). I love Masterbilts. At 500'ish dollars I don't think anything sounds better. My favorite is the AJ 500R; damned I want one of those babys.
Members Bernie P. Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 I haven't had the pleasure of trying the Epi Masterbilt's yet but my Epi Casady sig bass is the richest sounding bass iv'e ever played.
Members guitarcapo Posted April 3, 2007 Members Posted April 3, 2007 When I clicked on this thread I was thinking: "Probably a Masterbuilt"
