So Please!!! buy this guitar before I change my mind.Check the pictures out and hit me up with any questions... this is one nice guitar.Due to the high cost of shipping ,please contact me with your zip code so I can accurately calculate shipping charges.From the manufacturer:The Masterbilt EF-500RCCE might be one of the most unique and beautiful guitars in our Masterbilt Collection. The Masterbilt Collection was first issued in the early 1930s and were the pride of our founder Epi Stathopoulo. The Masterbilt line of guitars marked Epiphone’s arrival as one of the great acoustic designers and builders of the era. That same spirit for innovation and making timeless designs is still our mission and you'll know it after you've played an Epiphone EF-500RCE which features the classic "orchestra" body shape with a generous cutaway, a Solid Cedar top, solid rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany "V" style neck perfect for fingerpicking, and the eSonic2 pickup system.The EF-500RCCE features a Solid Cedar top, hand-scalloped Sitka Spruce braces, and stunning hand-inlaid Abalone along with a rosewood bridge and a bone saddle. One of the great attributes of a Cedar top is that its complex tone character gets better with age much more quickly than Spruce tops. So play your EF-500RCCE a lot! The EF-500RCCE's classic shape and elegant cutaway will inspire your imagination.The EF-500RCCE has solid Rosewood back and sides which adds to this guitar’s legendary tone as well as a hand-shaped solid Mahogany neck with a 25.5". The neck joins the body at the 14th fret and is adorned with carefully cut pearloid fretboard inlays. The historic "off-set" headstock features a "stickpin" headstock inlay along with a 1.75" bone nut. Players looking for vintage tone and vibe will appreciate the handcrafted dovetail neck joint and hide-glue construction as seen in all classic '30s era acoustic guitars.Modern Pickups for Masterbilt SoundWhile the EF-500RCCE sounds great "unplugged," it really comes alive when plugged-in, thanks to the new eSonic2™ preamp system. Made in cooperation with Shadow Germany, the new eSonic2 preamp features a built-in, easy-to-use tuner. When engaged, the guitar's output is automatically muted with no "popping" noise, making it a perfect choice for stage use. You can even push in the "tuner" button and unplug the guitar without a loud "pop." Other controls on this state-of-the-art preamp include Master Volume, NanoFlex ™ Tone, NanoMag™ Tone, Stereo Blend, Low Battery indicator and a Phase switch to help eliminate unwanted feedback.The preamp uses two 2032 lithium watch batteries that are not only lightweight, but provide significantly longer life than old-fashioned, heavy 9V batteries.Revolutionary Stereo PickupsUnder the bone saddle is Shadow's proprietary NanoFlex ™ low-impedance pickup. Unlike a harsh piezo like you'd find on budget models, this unique flexible sensing material features integrated active electronics that not only can pick up string vibration but also top and body vibrations as well for a truly acoustic tone not possible with piezo pickups.Complimenting the NanoFlex is the revolutionary NanoMag ™ pickup mounted at the end of the fingerboard. Exclusively from Shadow, the NanoMag features 3 Samarian-Cobalt magnets and an integrated active circuit to capture all the highs and lows, including a wide range of harmonics. With your choice of either 1/4" mono output blending both pickups or 1/4" stereo output splitting the two pickups, you have incredible flexibility and opportunities to create the perfect acoustic tone live.Vintage Sound, Modern HardwareThe EF-500RCE Masterbilt includes quality vintage-style gold Grover® Sta-Tite™ 18:1 ratio machine heads, a bone nut and saddle, a tortoise style teardrop pickguard, gold hardware, and a bound body, neck and headstock.
