Epiphone Masterbilt Zenith w/ Electronics - Vintage Sunburst
The Masterbilt Zenith Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Vintage Sunburst is a used guitar is in like new condition. A medium-sized archtop with an arched solid spruce top with traditional Longitudinal bracing, a laminated flame maple body, and a round sound hole. Inside the sound hole is a 1930s-era replica Epiphone label.
Like Epi’s first generation of archtops, the Zenith has a unique body profile with a 16” lower bout, a 11.6” upper bout, a 9.4” waist, and a body length slightly over 20”. Many archtop collectors consider a 16” archtop the ideal size for its concentrated sonic punch and overall tone. With its round sound hole and Solid Spruce top, the Zenith is an ideal rhythm instrument for singers and soloists with a fuller tone than most archtops. And flattop guitarists will discover it can easily cut through a mix better than most any other acoustic. Both the body and top feature 3-layer ivory and black color binding while the ebony fingerboard has single-layer ivory color binding. The 5-piece hard maple and mahogany neck has a full-rounded C profile that is glued to the body with a dovetail joint for a precise fit so the Zenith will resonate as one piece of wood. The ebony fretboard has 20 medium frets, a 25.5” scale length, and pearloid "Falling Snowflakes” inlays modeled after the original Masterbilt Zeniths.
