DennisB643 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Congrats, they are great guitars! I hope the new-to-be-released AJ-45 Masterbilt lives up to these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Play on! I know there have been some complaints about the Masterbuilts' dual pup system, but my AJ500me sounds great. I wish I had the cutaway too but... these are very fine guitars. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarLight Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 What a great looking Masterbilt! I don't need to ask how great it sounds! I've played many of these and I know the DR500MCE has outstanding sound! Congratulations! Great choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is one amazing guitar - superb sound and playability! Looooove it! Haha, you can sure tell that from your grin. And I'm not at all surprised. All of my Masterbilts are just superb and sound big and full. Major congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffmac Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 To bad Epiphone is so underestimated I believe these are as good a guitar as you can get, haven't heard anything that would "Blow it away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryKirsch Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks everyone for all the congratulations and all the positive comments! I really appreciate it! I think we would all give the same advice to anyone thinking about buying a guitar - try a Masterbilt! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You stuck the 'Plek" sticker on the same place I stuck mine Great guitar...your smile in that picture really says it all. So, what tunes have you been strumming on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what tunes have you been strumming on it ? It's hard not to smile when you're playing this guitar. :) I've been strumming: Falling Slowly; Take it Easy; Jingle Bell Rock; House of the Rising Sun; and a lot of the old-school 12-bar blues... so far... I left the "Plek" sticker on because this is the most 'playable' guitar I have ever picked up - and maybe that's (at least in part) because it was Plek'd.

milod Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 All kidding aside, except for a slight difference in feel from the matte finish, I think the Masterbuilt lines likely would have disappeared more rapidly if folks would close their eyes, play and listen - then hear the specs, the price tags - and that they're Epis rather than some "more prestigious" marque. I think perhaps they'd have sold more guitars much faster. It's a really nice set of guitars. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisB643 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looking through the latest issue of "Acoustic Guitar Player Quarterly" (published by Guitarist), They identify 77 essential guitars to consider in their byers guide. The DR-500 MCE, of course, was included. The list represents guitars from very affordable to very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even looking for another guitar. The guy at the music store just put it in my hands and I instantly fell in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
