Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (9 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "A Tremendous Value"
Sound: This guitar has a nice even sound top to bottom. The highs are sweet and articulate. The bottom is clear and smooth with definition. Very responsive instrument and fun to play. Feature: The on-board electronics are quite good and very pleasing to the ear, without the harsh piezo sound. The magnetic pickup captures the acoustic sound quite nicely. The jury is still out on the under saddle pickup. I've definitely heard worse. The tuner is very accurate, but quite hard to see if you are over the age of 45.....I'm sure I'll get used to it! Ease of Use: The guitar was playable out of the box, but not perfect. I took it for a set-up, resulting in the guitar sounding and playing much better than before. The neck needed a little adjustment because I had some buzzing on the low strings. This is to be expected on most guitars. It is now an awesome instrument!!! Quality: There were some small factory blemishes. A small 3 mm shiny area on the neck binding is an example. Most of the finish related issues require very close examination and are really not a factor. It's still a very beautiful instrument. Time will tell how reliable the guitar will be, but my experienced acoustic guitar tech was very impressed. He believes it will give me a lifetime of playing. Value: This product exceeded my expectation in regards to value. The sound is exquisite and the instrument is beautiful, even if it is made in China! You can't find a better acoustic/electric at the price point; period! Manufacturer Support: I own an Epiphone Sheraton II. One month after I owned it, A screw was missing that holds the pick guard in place. I called the dealer, who gave me a phone number at Epiphone. In a few days I received a replacement screw along with the bracket. To me, it was a good service experience. The Wow Factor: I have been drawn to these Masterbilt guitars from the day I first saw one. I love the offset notch head stock. The inlays are beautiful and the guitar has a vintage look and feel. Overall: This will be my primary instrument for many years to come. If it were lost or stolen, I would immediately replace it with the exact same model! This guitar will be perfect for playing through the PA at church. I will be playing it live every chance I get!
