The Epiphone DR-500MCE 6-String Electro Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst is a 6-string dreadnought electro acoustic guitar, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, a solid mahogany back and sides, a SlimTaper neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a Vintage Sunburst finish. When it comes to acoustic guitar tone and quality, nothing performs like an all-solid wood instrument. Harking back to the 1930's and our heritage as masters of acoustic guitar design, the Epiphone Masterbilt Collection combines traditional construction methods and historic features with premium all solid tone woods to bring you a new "vintage" instrument with deep rich lows, shimmering highs and a balanced mid-range. While many other guitars in this price class use pressed backs, spliced neck joints and even artificial wood backs and sides, you can be assured that every Masterbilt holds true to its all solid wood promise.
First released in June 1931, the original Epiphone Masterbilts made a big impression on musicians from all styles of music and the new Masterbilts have done the same. The original Epiphone Masterbilt catalog made the promise: "The possessor of an EPIPHONE instrument has the assurance that every possible precaution has been taken to build instruments for lifetime performance and pleasure." And we still make that promise! Like all Masterbilts, DR-500MCE comes with Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Shadow's 5-year warranty (electronics) and is backed by world famous 24/7/365 Gibson Customer Service.

dont expect a well decorated guitar(due to the lack of mother of pearl inlays etc)...but its a fantastic sounding piece of art,and its loud.
its well worth much more than what you pay for.
great service from the ms rep.i cannt say anymore
I have had this guitar now for over three years. I love it every bit today that I did the day I bought it, and probably more so. The sound is both bright and warm at the same time, capturing what I would call the perfect balance of tones. The set up was perfect out of the box, and the finish and small details make it a beautiful instrument. The electronics offer a wide range of sounds, and you can blend the two pickups to really dial in the perfect sound when youre plugged in. The neck is big, but easily playable, and the satin finish on the back of the neck makes getting around the guitar simple, even if youre a bit sweaty from those stage lights. For this price, you wont find anything even close. All solid-wood construction, bone bridge and nut, grover tuners, stereo output, amazing electronics, and great style, If youre looking at Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, or any of the other high priced names, do yourself a favour and try one of these out. You will be VERY surprised. My only complaint is that it tends to be a rather quiet instrument, but I suspect that the cut-a-way and electronics are responsible for that. If you need volume though, just plug it in!
Hello! I generally liked the guitar. You have an error on the site, confused pictures of tools: color sunburst in the picture, but in fact natural and vice versa. Gives a little background piezo, and everything is fine. I am pleased!
Couldn't be happier with this guitar.... great build quality, beautiful sound. Electronics on the delivered item was a Fishman Presys rather than the E-sonic 2 which was described in the listing, but from a quick web search Epiphone has moved across to this preamp and it sounds great with more tone control. Only one output though. Personally I'm very happy with this alternative.
