Accidently Bought a Guitar Today

Unread post by CWMCALL » Sun Aug 07, 2005 5:27 pm

I stopped by the music store today to pick up strings and ended bringing home a guitar...

It is an Epiphone Masterbuilt DR-500R. It was slightly used and paid about $300 for it. I think that they go for around $550 or $600 new.

It is 100% solid wood. It has a solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, gold Tuners, and it came with a "rigid gig bag with a hygrometer built in. Here are some pics...

i like the headstock on it, sharp looking. how the headstockt cuts away on the one side but not on the other. cant go wrong paying 300 bucks for a all around solid wood guitar 8-)
