Epiphone Masterbilt guitars are built to such great specifications that they rival overly expensive "higher-end" guitars. The DR500R is crafted with a solid, rosewood body and topped with solid sitka spruce providing both warmth and character that only gets better with age. A rosewood fingerboard on a mahogany neck provide smooth playability. Masterbilt guitars provide quality to last for years whenever, wherever, or however you use them.
