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 is 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 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.
