markwillplay Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I played this guitar today and though I did not buy it (I am just not going up in size) I was sorely tempted. Sounds very full and intonation is great. If I were going to get a 12 fret dread, I would look no further. I also love the neck on it, it did not really feel like a V to me. More like a modified V with good shoulders. Almost exactly like the martin D-18vs. I am picky about necks and I loved this neck. You don't see these guitars much and this one is in outstanding condition. I have seen people here asking about them so.... Just saying... http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/161751/master/1/?page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have one of these, the Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500RC 12-fret. It's a very impressive instrument. Highly recommended. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I imagine these Epi's are no longer in production? I wish Gibson would come out with a 12 fret version of their round shoulder jumbo….ala J-15, J-35, etc. I'll bet it would sell like hot cakes…I know I would get one!!!

jannusguy2 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I had one of these for awhile. It was a fun guitar but side by side with a Gibson, sonically, it was definitely an Epiphone. I will say that it was my first foray into 12 fret acoustics and, don't get me wrong, a good guitar for the money. I have a couple of nicer ones now. That was then: This is now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
