collapse expand iconDescription

The Epiphone Songmaker DR-100 acoustic guitar is an ideal choice for beginners and musicians on a budget. This dreadnought acoustic guitar provides a bold, resonant tone thanks to its select spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Epiphone has been crafting quality guitars for decades, and their expertise shines through in the Songmaker DR-100's precision construction, comfortable neck and premium tonewoods. Available in a vintage sunburst finish, the Songmaker DR-100 acoustic guitar epitomizes Epiphone's commitment to affordability and playability.

Select Spruce Top Produces a Lively, Articulate Tone

The Songmaker DR-100 acoustic guitar features a select spruce top, a tonewood prized for its articulate, balanced sound. Spruce emphasizes clarity and projection, allowing the DR-100 to cut through mixes with ease. The spruce top's responsive nature also means greater dynamic range based on your playing technique. Fingerstyle players will appreciate the DR-100's ability to capture the nuances of their plucking, while strummers can achieve a bold, full-bodied tone.

Mahogany Back and Sides Add Warmth and Depth

The Songmaker DR-100 acoustic guitar's mahogany back and sides complement the spruce top by providing a warmer, richer tone. Mahogany produces a focused low end with smooth mids, giving the DR-100 a balanced sound suitable for a variety of musical styles. The mahogany's saturated tone also helps notes sustain for longer, allowing chords and melodies to ring out.

Comfortable Neck and Premium Hardware

Epiphone outfits the Songmaker DR-100 acoustic guitar with a slim taper D-shaped neck for a fast, comfortable playing feel. The neck's slim profile and medium action make the DR-100 ideal for beginners and younger players, while the rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface. The DR-100 also features premium die-cast tuners for precise, stable tuning and a rosewood bridge for enhanced sustain and tonal transfer.

My first guitar

I've had this guitar for a little over three years now. It took all my money when I bought it, but it was well worth it. This guitar has great volume and tone, especially when I replaced the strings with some phosphor-bronze Martins. This is a great guitar for anyone, unless you need an acoustic-electric.

Didn't work out..Better Options

I ordered this guitar from On-Line. It shipped and arrived in 3 days. The package was great. The guitar was boxed in two boxes protected very well. This guitar looks great and has a good price for a beginner guitar. I wanted it to have an acoustic around just to play to have fun. Here is the downer....the guitar arrived with the neck twisted beyond repair. I knew something wasn't right when I first played it, but just thought that it need a good pro set done on it. I took it to my tech to put new strings on and do the set up. He told me that the neck was twisted and to just return it. So I took it back to my local Guitar Center. Those guy's were great. They took it back no problems. Well I ended up going with the Fender DG-60 instead. For the few extra dollars for that guitar is a much better option. The DG-60 sounds great, plays great, and looks even better. The $60 extra for the Fender is worth it. The machine heads are better too. So I suggest to go with the Fender DG-60 you'll be happy like I am now.

    After buying 2 Fender acoustics on here, they were not really that good , so instead of buying used, I made the choice to buy a new instrument.no bought this a few days ago online and when it arrived today, I Was pleasantly pleased with my purchase. I am 65 and have been playing for 53 years. While not a Martin, this is one well made guitar that has a great sound to it , and seeing I am on a low budget, this is a great buy.

    I just received the sunburst dr-100. The stock photo is not the same color as the actual guitar. The guitar I received is an ugly yellow burst while the picture is a darker brown. Has alot of fret buzzing and is extremely tinny sounding. You can even feel the frets running your hand down the side of the neck. I have a cheaper Rogue guitar that looks plays feels and sounds better than this junk. Sending back asap. Guitar center needs to change the stock photo because that is not the guitar I ordered.

  • I love it

    This acoustic guitar is for at home practicing. It sounds good. All frets and tuning is good. The strings have lasted for a few months with me playing everyday. It's way better than a first act plastic guitar.
