Open Box Epiphone Masterbilt Excellente Acoustic-Electric Guitar Level 1 Antique Natural Aged Gloss

Epiphone is proud to reintroduce the Masterbilt Excellente, one of the rarest acoustic guitars ever crafted. Just 141 of these ornate dreadnoughts were produced between 1963 and 1970, and now Epiphone has painstakingly recreated every detail of this iconic model. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, solid ovangkol back and sides, and ebony fingerboard, the Masterbilt Excellente pours out a robust, balanced tone with crystalline highs, warm mids and rich lows.

Onboard Electronics Provide Lifelike Plugged-In Sound

The Excellente comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics, offering studio-quality sound for recording or performance. The discreet undersaddle pickup captures the natural acoustic tone of this guitar, which can then be shaped using the onboard volume and tone controls. Whether you prefer a bright, open sound or a warmer, more rounded tone, the Fishman system provides full tonal control.

Premium Tonewoods and Timeless appointments

A hand-selected solid Sitka spruce top provides projection and clarity, while solid ovangkol back and sides add warmth, depth and richness. An ebony bridge and fingerboard further enhance sustain and note definition. Historic pearl cloud inlays, gold Kluson tuners and a bone nut and saddle complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Playability for Players of All Styles

With its 1.75" nut width and comfortable neck profile, the Masterbilt Excellente suits pickers and strummers alike. An ideal choice for singer-songwriters, the Excellente's balanced tone and finger-friendly feel inspire creativity. The cutaway body also provides easy access to higher frets for solos or complex chording.
