What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Blending 1930s jazz-age flair with modern acoustic-electric flexibility, the Epiphone Masterbilt Olympic Archtop centers around a carved solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides. A hard maple and mahogany neck features a 25.5" scale, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, and a classic Rounded C profile, all coated in an Aged Gloss finish. Floating hardware like the adjustable Ebonoid bridge sits alongside Historic Reissue tuners crowned with Marboloid buttons. Amplification is handled discreetly by a Shadow undersaddle piezo and 3-band EQ system with a phase filter. Weighing a mere 4 lbs 1 oz, this non-cutaway archtop includes a protective hardshell case.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
