Epiphone New Century De Luxe round Hole Vintage Sunburst

Old-worlde style meets Masterbilt quality and finesse with the Epiphone New Century models. A hark back to the days when an electric guitar was an archtop acoustic with some manner of magnetic pickup, these new tributes to a bygone age sound and feel spectacularly different to your average acoustic guitar.

Unlike the ad-hoc amplification methods of the past, these instruments utilise the Shadow NanoFlex under saddle pickup technology to become electrified with more authority and accuracy. The traditional longitudinal bracing also changes the fundamental sound of this guitar, which may also also help you change up your playing and react differently to what your doing. This round sound holed beauty is finished in a vintage sunburst colour with vintage correct inlays and headstock

Epiphone, the leader in affordable professional archtop guitars, reinvents the archtop again by combining our original, time-tested designs with 21st century acoustic guitar electronics to bring you the new Masterbilt Century Collection. The first collection of archtop “acoustic/electric” guitars designed to be played and amplified as true acoustic instruments. Just play one and you will immediately feel and hear the difference between today’s common “flat top” acoustic guitar and the unique voice of a Masterbilt Century. Plug one in and prepare to be amazed! Really. You have to hear it to believe it.

Now with the eSonic HD preamp and Shadow NanoFlex

HD Under-saddle pickup, you can plug in any Masterbilt Century archtop acoustic/electric into an amp or any PA and hear your guitar’s beautiful and dynamic true acoustic tone on any size stage. For flattop guitarists who have only played old plywood archtops, the sound of a Masterbilt Century guitars will be a revelation. Get ready for a totally new acoustic guitar experience!
