General
Epiphone's Masterbilt Century Olympic is an archtop electro-acoustic guitar that's perfect for styles like jazz, country or blues. Models like this are also becoming increasingly popular with singer/songwriters and solo guitarists. Archtops were common in the 1930's and have a special sound compared to today's flattop models. If you want an electro-acoustic guitar that has a warmer sound, a broad range of tones and plenty of punch, an archtop could be right for you.
Masterbilt Century Olympic
For an accurate sound when amplified, the Masterbilt Century Olympic is equipped with a NanoFlex piezo pickup that's housed under the bridge saddle and an eSonic HD preamplifier. The Historic Epiphone Dovewing headstock features vintage pearloid 'banner' logos and the Historic Epiphone Reissue marboloid 'crown' button machine heads are another stylish touch. If you're looking for an electro-acoustic guitar that combines classic features with modern elements like no other, then take a closer look at Epiphone's Masterbilt Century Olympic.
