TWilson Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm pretty sure some folks here own an Epi Masterbilt. Could any of you supply me the widths at the upper and lower bouts, body length, total length and depth of an EF-500RA? I'd be much obliged and have a beer in your honor!

geelinus Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have an EF500-R - no abalone - but assume the measurements are identical: Lower Bout Width: 15-3/8" Depth: 3-5/8" (but 4" to top of strings) Upper Bout Width: 11-1/4" Depth: 4-1/4" Body Length: 19-1/2" I hope this helps and will have a Diet Pepsi in your honor. :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I really want one of these in the natural finish. What a stunner! Cheap as cheese too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks geelinus, that's what I needed. And also thanks for making that Pepsi, Diet!!! I'll be having a Rogue "Dead Guy Ale" for you! By the way, how do you like your Epi? Jinder- Exactly what I was thinking. A great looking guitar and has an equally great reputation. Also, is there a guitar you don't like?!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geelinus Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Enjoy that Dead Man Ale! I love the Epi: It's hanging on the wall in my home office, so it gets more playing time than my other guitars. That isn't to say that it sounds better, but it does sound good enough that I don't need to pull out the others as often. I bought it as a "beater" but it's a much nicer guitar than that -- with a sweet but firm (not tinny) tone - with more bottom end and volume than I expected.

AustinNoName Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sorry to ressurrect an older post, and also (again!), probably not entierly Gibson/Epiphone. Does anyone have any experience with Blueridge guitars? They seem to good to be true, £400 for a solid spruice top/brazilian rosewood b/s... I can't believe that really, but if they're any good, am prepared to gamble on one for that sort of money without trying... thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Aus, Blueridge are GREAT guitars if you try a few and find the one you like best. I didn't know there was a braz option, that's very cool. They are modelled on prewar Martins, but manufactured in Asia which drives the costs down. Generally, though, the quality is high and they are excellent playing and sounding instruments. Very dissimilar to a Gibson, though. That is why I'm after a Masterbilt EF500RA...Gibson flavoured neck, RW tone, bling, OM body...all the right ingredients for the missing guitar in my arsenal.
