Epiphone FT120 Masterbilt Excellente Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Natural – w/ Soft Gig Bag
 

All-solid Masterbilt dreadnought with ornate Excellente styling, Fishman electronics, and a beautiful vintage-inspired natural finish

The Epiphone Masterbilt Excellente is a premium acoustic-electric reissue inspired by one of Epiphone’s rarest 1960s flat-top guitars. It combines classic square-shoulder dreadnought projection with upscale appointments, including the large Excellente pickguard, pearl cloud-style inlays, gold hardware, and a distinctive natural aged-gloss look.

This model is built with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid ovangkol back and sides, an ebony fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and a Fishman pickup/preamp system for amplified use. It is a great choice for players who want a stage-ready acoustic with a bold visual presence, strong strumming tone, and vintage Epiphone character.

Condition:
Excellent physical condition with no significant damage or imperfections. The body, neck, headstock, bridge, pickguard, tuners, and binding all present very well. No major dents, cracks, breaks, or structural damage noted.

The guitar includes built-in Fishman acoustic electronics, but a 9V battery is not included. The buyer will need a 9V battery to power the pickup/preamp system.
