My Epiphone Masterbilt Hummingbird came and it is awesome superb build quality, flawless fit and finish great playability out of the box and it's one guitar I'm really glad I bought.

Great looking guitar. Has it been torrefied? It look beautifully aged. I’ll bet it sounds sweet! Congrats!

Love it! I spent most of last year on a quest for a new acoustic. I decided dreads are not the shape for me, but I played a couple of different Epi Masterbilts along the way and they were all excellent. Congrats!

Very nice - doesn't get much more classy than a big old dread like that. Glad to hear the quality is good too. Where are they making those Masterbilt Epi's now? Wondering if there is really much of a difference between those and the "inspired by Gibson" line which seems to be about the same specs and price.

They're made in Indonesia and according to Zzounds the Masterbilt and IBG are the same guitars.

Thanks, I've been curious about that as it appears the IBG and Masterbilt still have different headstocks, at least on the website with the Masterbilt having the traditional one and the IBG's having the more "gibson-like" one.
