Lost a fight with a hedge trimmer about 5-6 weeks ago, and while my index finger was healing, I found this Ephiphone Masterbuilt Century at a good price in a local Guitar Center. I believe it's a reissue of a guitar they originally released in the 1930's. Has a bit of a Django/Maccaferri thing going on with chords.
Has a pickup as well. The acoustic on our last tune was thrown on as an afterthought because the guitar was on a stand next to me. I still had a bass sim pulled up, and I just played it through that. God, I can be lazy at times.
I have several acoustics, but this is my first archtop. It plays wonderfully but definitely differently from my others. A fun guitar.

So instead of Iommi you went straight to source and you're on your way of be coming the Son of Django?
Cool find! I can't even imagine how those play...
That is absolutely gorgeous. I've heard only good things about these Epiphone masterbuilt guitars.
Congrats, Bruce!
I love my epiphone acoustics should have fun with this beauty

Ooh Look!
I was searching for tractors (UK political joke, but deffo porn..)
That's really cool.
I am quite certain you will be able to put it to good use! Interesting guitars. I would be interested in a kind of review here later after you played it a while..
My dad never really learned to play well, but he always had a guitar that looked like this in the living room. Gives me warm feelings just to look at it.
