Epiphone Wood? 24 Replies
I'm hearing from many musicians, people who run instrument shops, etc. that Epiphone uses cheap Asian wood. I know that the company is not the same it was when it was American with Greek luthiers,…Continue

Ordered black w/white dot Tusq bridge pins and a knock-off hummingbird pick guard. Masterbilt arrives Wednesday and the parts on Friday. Just in time for my first day of summer break. So it is the first project on my summer list, hopefully my wife's honey do list is not long .

I stumbled onto an used EF-500RVS a few years ago and I absolutely love it. Compared to the other three acoustic guitars I have (an Epiphone Dove and two Washburn acoustics - D10S and D52SW), this one is very comfortable to play and is definitely designed for fingerpicking.

I thought about removing the pick guard an replacing it with the hummingbird pick guard. Any thoughts? It is a brand new AJ-500M so I have no idea how hard it would be to do.

I own an AJ-500M and love it. The Masterbilts are a great value for the price.
Next to my Martin OM the AJ-500 is my favorite now of all my guitars. I'd like to buy an EF500 when I can though, I would like to have the smaller body Masterbilt with the 1 3/4 neck.

So, due to some accidental pocket bidding on the eBay app, I know own a AJ-500M. It is not a factory second. I had it in my "Watch" list as I try and find a used value for these guitars. I own 6 Seagulls, two of which are all solids( 25th Anniversary and Maritime CW) so we will see how it compares.

Yeah I can do that. My profile pic actually has me unashamedly holding that axe.

Thanks Ed and no problem on that note because I'll just do what I did with my Epiphone AJ-100 (a.k.a. Ed): get an L.R. Baggs undersaddle pickup.
