Condition: Guitar is now in mint condition. However I will be enjoying this instrument until one of you smart, intelligent musicians purchase it and it may develope pick scratches and very slight signs of use. Full Setup: Neck is straight though may fluctuate in transit. Fretboard is treated. Fret ends filed, frets are leveled, crowned, hand-polished, then buffed to a chrome-like finish to minimize fret wear. Intonation set.
All screws torqued.

Epiphone’s Masterbilt collection serves up a meticulous re-creation of the very rare Epiphone Frontier. The Masterbilt Frontier acoustic-electric features a solid Sitka Spruce top with the iconic Frontier ”Rope and Cactus” pickguard, a bone nut, and state-of-the-art Fishman Sonitone electronics for accurate acoustic tone when plugged in. The guitarists at Sweetwater are knocked out by the Masterbilt Frontier’s amazing tone, playability, looks, and value. We’re confident you will be, too!
Exceptional tonewoods deliver timeless tone
The Epiphone Masterbilt Frontier combines a toneful Sitka spruce top with maple sides and back. Maple is known for its sonic transparency, which makes it highly reflective of your personal playing style. Solid maple, used for the back and sides of the Frontier, is complemented by a solid Sitka spruce top. As a top tonewood, Sitka spruce offers a combination of strength and elasticity that delivers a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation that’s ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive flatpicked strumming. Together, these premium tonewoods make for a highly responsive and expressive instrument.

The Epiphone Masterbilt Frontier comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics that are ready for you to hit the stage or plug into your computer for easy recording. The pickup controls are mounted inside the soundhole, giving you easy access to volume and tone.
