Up for sale is a 2016 Epiphone Masterbilt Century Olympic in beautiful Violin Burst, a wonderfully unique archtop-inspired acoustic-electric that blends vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Inspired by Epiphone’s pre-war acoustic designs, the Century Olympic offers warm, woody tone, comfortable playability, and eye-catching looks in a compact and inspiring package.This example is in excellent condition and has clearly been well cared for by its previous owner. The Violin Burst satin finish has aged nicely and gives the instrument a rich, understated vintage character that suits the design perfectly. There are a few light blemishes and handling marks visible in the satin finish, but nothing excessive or structural. Overall, the guitar presents extremely well and remains in superb shape.The neck feels comfortable and approachable with an easy-playing profile that works equally well for fingerstyle, blues, folk, jazz, or light strumming applications. The guitar resonates nicely with a dry, open character and has a warm midrange response that records beautifully and sits well in a mix. Its smaller body size also makes it an excellent couch guitar or songwriting companion without sacrificing projection or personality.Equipped with the factory Fishman electronics system, this Olympic is ready for live performance and amplified use right out of the gate. Plugged in, it retains much of its natural acoustic character while offering dependable stage-ready functionality and straightforward controls.The frets and neck are in great shape, the guitar plays cleanly up and down the board, and everything functions as it should.
