Epiphone Masterbilt DR-400MCE Natural Satin
Product no: 9000-0042-4883 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Epiphone's DR-400MCE is their most affordable all-solid electro-acoustic steel-string guitar. This Dreadnought model has a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back, sides and neck for a rich, dynamic sound with plenty of warmth. The fretboard and bridge are both made of FSC Certified Blackwood and the bone bridge saddle and string nut ensure optimal vibration from string to body.

DR-400MCE

The fact that this flattop is part of the stylish Masterbilt series means it has a number of classic features that improve its playing comfort. The neck, for instance, has the renowned SlimTaper profile that was popular on many guitars in the '60s and the 12-inch fretboard radius won't feel unfamiliar either. The vintage-style pearloid Epiphone logo on the headstock is another nice touch. For a well-balanced sound when amplified, the DR-400MCE is equipped with a NanoFlex piezo and an eSonic HD preamplifier.
