Brilliant value at the normal price of around £440 at the reduced price of £373 delivered even better as long as you get a good one.What I men by this is not so much the sound which I found to be good on all the one's I tried but more the finish.Unfortunately the quality control of the first one I had was terrible. It was supposed to be a brand new item but had numerous faults with the finish.Contacted the seller who was a proper retail music shop and was told Epiphone can be like that. I wasn't having that and insisted they exchange or refund and told them the clue's in the name Masterbilt.They exchanged it and the next one was near enough perfect even the box looked proper and the guitar had

Firstly let me start by saying I didn't buy mine from Amazon, I was going to but needed more information before forking out £509 for the natural one which was the one I wanted, just before I bought it I saw a used one for sale so I thought I'd buy that, I can tell you that this guitar is worth every penny of that £509, I would have been extremely happy if I had bought it brand new.I didn't quite get as much information as I wanted from the reviews here so I went for a search online and was convinced this was the right one for me, so I'm basically back here to help anyone trying to make up their minds about this guitar or another brand,

I've only ever had cheap guitars. I'm not that good to be honest, self taught etc. I never believed or understood that a better quality guitar mattered. I then I decided to treat myself with some spare cash I had to this even though in my mind I'm totally not worthy etc.Well just wow, it blew my socks off. The sound in my living room off this guitar is just stunning. Play a few chords, pick them..like a G to a Cadd9 to a D and it sounds like a record where the main person is playing rather than little old me like it always previously does. There's a fullness to the sound I've not heard before from my guitars. It just carries on. It feels like all six strings join up and mix sounds,

Im a professional musician- sound (both acoustic and through amp) is fabulous. I tried this guitar in store before. After i plugged in 2 cables thru' amp, other customer (who was looking an amp to buy) run to me and started to ask questions about this amps amazing quality sound. Showed him Esonic2 system and explained its probably this "fault". It sounds almost like 2 guitars playing at the same time- 2 different sounds which are mastered together by pro sound engineer.Comfortable to play, i like lithium battery system (you need 2 of them). They last much longer and is more comfortable than bulky 9v.Tuner system is very good- comfortable and accurate.

Purchased this fro Amazon, delivery was ok by DPD and packeging was ok but could have been better,The Guitar is certianly a good looker, it needed tuning out of the box , sounds like the factory tune is a couple of steps down. Plays quite well it came with cleartone 12-53 strings which are a bit heavy for my likeing, changed these to some D'addario and its much better, Action is quite high so its off to the luthier next week for set up.Dont let any of this put you of the guitar is awsome and when set to my likeing will be even more, The electric are cool and the onboard tuner is very accurate,So 5 stars here

This is only my third acoustic guitar in over forty years of playing. You can look up the specs all over the internet but my own experience is WOW, beautifully made, sounds as good as any £1000+ Martin, Taylor or other top end guitars. The icing on the cake are the pick ups. Any one will tell you how hard it is to get that "acoustic" sound from pickups but the esonic 2 does a brilliant job, matching if not exceeding such premier makes as L R Baggs etc. In short a beautiful guitar worth twice the price.

I really like this. Sounds full and sweet and not too boomy or jangly like some dreadnoughts or laminated harder woods. I think the solid Mahogany back and sides help a lot. I plugged into an amp and really love the sounds you can get out of one or both of the TWO pickups (check out the YouTube video about the "eSonic2" pickups by "Bryan Aspey" on THIS DR-500MCE (with sunburst finish, but the same guitar as the natural finish) - amazing!). The 18:1 Grover tuners are NICE. Go for it!

For its price range this guitar easily beats any other acoustic twice its price. The guitar has a very big, tight, and open sound. Great action and intonation out of the box. The eq system sound great plugged in. The nano mag really does a nice job capturing the instrument acoustic tone. There are lots of good thing to say about this guitar and its performance capabilities.

It took 3 tries to get one that had no issues. The first had a bad pickup. Make sure you try both pickups and listen close to the output. The second had a bad tuner and the A string could not be tuned to standard. The third however is perfect. I use the guitar every day. It sounds and plays beautifully. Its loud straight acoustic and the tone is fantastic when amplified.

For the money it's hard to get a better sounding guitar. Top quality tuners, nut and bridge and the body and neck are very high quality woods. Finish on mine is perfect. Can do with a bit of a set up (like most guitars) but with some new strings, a lowered bridge and some nut work it plays just like a dream. So happy with it.

Best acoustic I ever owned. Each strum is crisp and the harmonics are rich and deep.

Perfect in every way (tone, clarity and even looks).
