zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Solid mahogany body and solid sitka spruce top.

Overview

Epiphone Masterbilt guitars are built to such great specifications that they rival overly expensive "higher-end" guitars. The AJ500M is crafted with a solid mahogany body and topped with solid sitka spruce providing both warmth and character that only gets better with age. A rosewood fingerboard on a mahogany neck provide smooth playability. Masterbilt guitars provide quality to last for years whenever, wherever, or however you use them.

Sound

This guitar has deep, loud, and mellow sound.

Features

The light weight hard shell case that came with the guitar is awesome, and includes a hyrometer built in!

Ease of Use

Out of the box, the action was high, and hard to play. I had it tweaked by a local dealer who is an expert. When it came back, it played like a dream, with NO loss of volume or overall tone.

Quality

I have the satin finish model - and the finish is flawless. All the components look top notch and I expect it to last a long time.

Value

For the money, it's a sweet deal. I bought it so I could "semi-retire" my antique Martin D28 and protect it from damage on the job. For most applications, the Masterbilt sounds as good, and sure plays much easier.

Manufacturer Support

I've had no need to contact the company.
