Cougar Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I notice up on reverb is a 2003 EF500PNS Masterbilt, which is a 'prototype' solid maple back and sides EF model. I had its twin for a while, which was numbered a couple ahead of this one. (I have no association with this seller.) Mine was also in dead mint condition. They never made any more after those two, to my knowledge, though they had a great run of DR's, EF's, and AJ's through 2011. (I'm keeping the EF500RAVS.) This maple EF is priced rather high, but they've reduced the price once, and they may be receptive to reasonable offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard McCoy Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 If you're after an orchestra-shaped maple guitar, this one is as good as it gets in that price range. If you're aiming a little higher, I'd go straight for an Epiphone Elitist J-200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I wonder if it's this guys... No, that was mine, haha. Sold it some months ago (keeping the RAVS). The one now on reverb was apparently owned by dannyelectro who posted on this board about picking it up 3 years ago. I guess he hasn't been around here much lately. It's now being sold by a fairly big-time reverb seller with good ratings out of South Carolina.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisB643 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Cougar I saw that one listed and wondered how many others were out there? Saving for a RV now or I would have pulled the trigger...but I need another guitar like I need a hole in my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I saw that one listed and wondered how many others were out there? I've never seen one other than the two mentioned on these boards. ...but I need another guitar like I need a hole in my head... I still like looking, but I'm pretty satisfied with what I've got. In fact, I've got to unload a few more Epi's that aren't getting played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
