Epiphone - Masterbilt Hummingbird 12 Aged Cherry Sunburst Gloss
Inspired by the iconic Gibson Hummingbird acoustic, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird 12-string produces a bright, clear sound with a beautifully balanced tone. Constructed exclusively from solid tonewoods, it will improve with age for years of playing pleasure!
Presentation
Its Fishman Presys VT electronic system stands out for its simplicity. The preamp is mounted in the soundhole. It features intuitive volume and tone control. This ensures smooth adaptation to a variety of musical genres.
The string height ensures comfortable fingerpicking. The medium jumbo frets add to this feeling of ease. Glides are smoother.
The wide string spacing, plus the rounded C-profile neck, make for a natural grip.
The appearance of this instrument is immediately appealing. The Aged Cherry Sunburst Gloss colour highlights the richness of the spruce and solid mahogany. The varnish has a slight patina. The result is a vintage yet sophisticated look.
The Hummingbird pickguard features artistic motifs. It adds a unique touch. The Mother of Pearl Split Parallelogram inlays enhance the beauty of the handle. The result is a perfect visual balance.
The materials used ensure high-quality reverberation. The solid spruce top adds natural clarity to the sound.
The solid mahogany back and sides add warm depth. The indian laurel fingerboard and bridge complete this quality combination.
The Mini Grover Rotomatic tuners provide the tuning precision that is important for a 12-string guitar. The double-action reinforcement rod adds to its solidity.
