General

Epiphone's Masterbilt Century Zenith Classic is an extremely versatile electro-acoustic archtop guitar that's suitable for styles including in jazz, rock and roll, blues and country. The beautifully-decorated headstock and the falling snowflake position markers on the fretboard are two of its most outstanding visual features. As soon as you play it though, you'll realise its sound is nothing short of outstanding as well. While it offers the same brightness as flattop models, the sound of an archtop is much warmer.

Masterbilt Century Zenith Classic

The solid spruce top ensures the sound has excellent definition and dynamics and these qualities also come through clearly when this instrument is amplified. That's because the Century Zenith Classic is equipped with a NanoFlex HD under-saddle pickup that delivers the sound to your amp via the eSonic preamplifier. Other modern additions to this classic model include the 18:1 ratio machine heads and the flatter 14-inch fretboard radius which respectively provide more accurate tuning and a more comfortable playing experience. This electro-acoustic archtop is not one that sounds like most others out there, so if you're looking for a special guitar, the Epiphone Masterbilt Century Zenith Classic could be the one for you.
