Epiphone Limited Edition EL-00 PRO Mahogany (Vintage Sunburst) Overview
Epiphone Limited Edition EL-00 PRO Mahogany Overview by GAK:
The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. EL-00 PRO Mahogany Acoustic/Electric is a new addition to the classic line of flattops that can trace its roots back to the first golden age of Epiphone in the 1930s. Plus, the modern Ltd. Ed. EL-00 PRO Mahogany features the state of the art Fishman™ Sonitone™ and Sonicore™ System pickup system, a perfect compliment to a vintage style Mahogany top. The smaller "parlour" or "blues box" style acoustic guitar is favoured by blues players of all eras for its woody tonal quality, short scale, and comfortable weight which makes it ideal for fingerpicking or the bark of a bottle neck slide.
Mahogany has long been a favoured “tonewood” and is revered for its ability to sound “played in” from the first note, the EL-00 body features a solid Mahogany top which will continue to improve with age. The combination of using select Mahogany for the neck and body along with a Mahogany top gives the Ltd. EL-00 PRO Mahogany a tone you might think could only come from a guitar that’s been played for decades. The smaller body (15.5" wide at lower bout) and straight Rosewood bridge also influences the Ltd. Ed. EL-00 PRO Mahogany’s tone, which is slightly warmer and less forward than a dreadnought and is perfect for both solo singers and even slide guitar. The 24.75" scale select Mahogany neck has a SlimTaper™ "D" profile with a 1.68" imitation bone nut and is set with a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint using premium Titebond™ glue. The Rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 19 medium frets, and pearloid dot inlays. The classic “Tortoise” style pickguard has a vintage metal "E" and the straight Rosewood bridge also features a compensated, imitation bone saddle like Epiphone’s acclaimed Masterbilt series.
Epiphone is proud to re-introduce the Ltd. Ed. Epiphone EL-00 PRO Mahogany Acoustic/Electric with the superb Fishman™ Sonitone™ preamp and Fishman Sonicore™ pickup system. Fishman™ is an industry leader in bringing a guitar’s true acoustic tone to bigger stages. The Sonicore™ pickup is set underneath the saddle. The Sonitone™ sound-hole preamp is an active preamp mounted in the soundhole with easy-to-access mounted rotary controls for Master Volume and Tone adjustment. Now you can make your adjustments during soundcheck and even fine adjustments on-the-fly during your set. No more running back and forth to your amp or the soundboard! Finally, your tone is in your hands right where you need it. A single 9-volt battery powers the active preamp. And you can connect your Epiphone Ltd. Ed. EL-00 PRO Mahogany to a PA or amp of your choice with a standard ¼” instrument cable.
The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. EL-00 PRO Mahogany Acoustic/Electric features Epiphone's world famous solid nickel hardware including a heavy duty ¼” output jack and strap buttons along with legendary Grover® mini-Rotomatic machine heads with 14:1 ratio tuners. The Ltd. Ed. EL-00 PRO Mahogany is set up at the Epiphone factory with legendary D’Addario Phosphor (12-53) strings.
