This is my second Masterbilt Texan, which says it all. I've come to love this particular model, which has unique features in that it's really like a good J-45, only with more top end zing, due to the longer scale length. This gives the guitar a smoky, jazzy warm voice, but still with more top end sizzle when strummed with a pick. The perfect allrounder for me.
The Masterbilt model is solid wood, and that and the one piece neck is its prime selling points. The woods are beautiful, the lacquering thin and very vintage feeling. the sunburst a little to the red side (but still okay) and the fretwork and tuners are perfect and functional. This guitar is simply and unassuming, great sounding instrument, and a real joy to play. The playability is superior to many much more expensive guitars.
All in all, I love both my Texans. I have had them both set up and done up to my specs professionally, but even when that extra cost is factored into the total price, it's a steal. Also, it really does open up with playing time, that's what solid woods do - more bass and overtones over time. Beautiful.
An excellent well made strong product. Guitar fits snug and with good storage.
DV247 products are always sent with extra protection packaging. Very nice.
Nice looking case, does the job. Slight gripe - to be expected. Because it fits a number of Epiphone Dread and Jumbo guitars then its not an exact fit. But close enough - no complaints
There wasnt a perfect fit case for my Dove Pro, only this one that fits many DR. The main issue is that the neck moves around quite a bit, but I installed a piece of foam to secure the headstock and now its fine. Good case overall.
