Which Masterbilt To Get?


EEF13

Recommended Posts

Posted

I am having a hard time deciding on which Masterbilt to get.

 

The options are:

 

DR-500MCE

DR-500ME

EF- 500R

 

I know that Alex Lifeson plays/played the EF 500R so it must be good but I am curious about the other ones. Which one would you recommend? I know the DR ones have more electronic options going on.

In case you haven't seen the link I posted over at HCAG....

I don't know this fella but, he seems to be a well-respected seller. Always has really good gear for sale.

 

Seems like a fair deal to me. I've never warmed to the DR models (too blocky-looking for me.) Love my AJ 500RE.

 

It looks nice. I need an electric acoustic though. Are Acoustic guitar pickups any good?

Technology has come a long way over the years with AG pickups. Lots of variations and combinations thereof from L.R. Baggs, K&K, Fishman, Sunrise, etc.

 

I'm using the poorly received Esonic2 system that came with my AJ. Apparently, I have the only "properly-working" Esonic2 system in the world...lol.

 

It sounds absolutely wonderful.

I can't try them because they don't sell them where I live.

 

 

Hummmm...I don't know then man, I myself wouldn't buy a guitar unless I could play it and check it our really good first.
