Product Description

The rarest Epiphone ever made. Only 141 Masterbiltt Excellente guitars existed between 1963 and 1970. This is a stunning homage to the original, iconic acoustic.

Construction

Made using a solid ovangkol body and solid sitka spruce top, the Excellente delivers a rounded yet direct tone with plenty of beautiful harmonic content to match the incredible style. The bridge and pickguard combine to create a vibrant, yet classy aesthetic. Those block cloud inlays are just enough to make the Excellente look genuinely excellent.

Hardware appointments include gold-finished Waffleback vintage tuners and a bone saddle and bridge pairing for reliable sturdiness. The onboard Fishman preamp allows you to play plugged in for pristine likeness of tone even through a PA system.

Neck

An absolute delight to play, the Excellente is equipped with a maple and five-piece walnut neck in an extremely comfortable ‘C’ shape pattern. The medium jumbo frets on top of the 25.315” scale length ebony fretboard make it ideal for fretting big chords to provide a strong backbone to your sound.

Great service from Andertons who restocked the guitar in super quick time after the initial run sold out. Guitar was well packed when posted to me. It a fantastic looking and sounding guitar with top build quality and ready to go straight out of the box, with low action and good quality strings. These new Indonesian made Epiphone masterbilts are already gaining a reputation for quality and value. I was blown away by how beautiful it is at this price point especially with it being all solid woods as well.
