Epiphone

Description

This Limited Edition Epiphone EL-00 PRO Mahogany Top Acoustic/Electric guitar is a direct descendent of Epiphone's original line of flattops which go back to the Golden Age of acoustic guitars, the 1930s. This smaller "parlor" or "blues box" style acoustic guitar is favored by blues players of all eras for its compressed, woody tonal quality, short scale, and comfortable weigh. The combination makes it ideal for fingerpicking or the bark of a bottle neck slide. It features a select mahogany body with solid mahogany top, rosewood bridge and mahagony neck, again, a mixture of tonewoods that'll fit right in the blues pocket.

Now featuring the Fishman Sonitone soundhole preamp and Fishman Sonicore pickup, the EL-00 PRO acoustic-electriccan be plugged-in and heard on any size stage with first class acoustic-electric sound. The pickup is set underneath the saddle. The Sonitone sounhole 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. The active preamp is powered by a single 9-volt battery. You can connect your Epiphone EL-00 PRO to a PA or amp of your choice with a standard 1/4 in. instrument cable. 

This Limited Edition EL-00 PRO Acoustic/Electric features a solid mahogany top with 3-ply black and white binding. This top will improve in tone as it ages, meaning the more you play it, the better it will sound. The body features select mahogany with single-ply white binding on the back. The mahogany neck and body combined with the solid spruce top make for the perfect combination of tone, warmth and brilliance with a bigger sound than you would expect from a smaller-sized guitar.

The smaller body (15.5 in. wide at lower bout) and straight rosewood bridge also influence the EL-00 PRO's distinctive voice which is more focused than a dreadnought and perfect for singers. The rosewood bridge features a compensated imitation bone saddle. The 24.75 in. scale select mahogany neck has a SlimTaper D profile with a 1.68 in. nut and is set with a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint using premium Titebond glue. The rosewood fingerboard has a 12 in. radius, single-ply black binding, 19 medium frets, and pearloid dot inlays. The  Vintage Sunburst color finish is complemented by a tortoise shell-style pickguard with a vintage metal "E".

This special guitar also features Epiphone's no-nonsense quality including nickel hardware, strap buttons, a 1/4" endpin, Grover 14:1 machine heads with mini-buttons, D'Addario Phosphor (12-53) strings, and carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. 

Case sold separately.

Fantastic!

The EL-00 Pro is Epiphone's version of a parlor guitar. My biggest reason for purchasing this guitar is my own size. I am petite woman and it is a comfortable size for me. Originally, I bought a dreadnought style and it was too large and uncomfortable to play. I am so happy I made the switch to this El-00 pro! It's a comfortable fit for me and it's complimentary to my blues style music. The sound is crisp and clear. It already sounds great acoustically, but when I hooked it up to my amp it sound amazing. It's fun and easy to play. I highly recommend this parlor guitar! *I also recommend the Epiphone guitar case made for this guitar. It's beautiful and worth it to protect this beautiful guitar.

Good, affordable guitar

I bought this guitar to just kick around and play with. It is sufficient and worth the price. I knew what I was paying for, and that is exactly what I got. Nothing wrong with the EL-00. I would recommend this guitar for beginners, or more advanced players. Fun to play.

    I've owned several acoustic guitars and all hurt my fingers to play. Right out the box, the Epiphone EL-00 Pro was easy to play and I've practice more with it than I have with my electric guitar.

    I've been impressed with this economically priced Epi since it arrived on my doorstep. Pleasantly surprised by the good set up out of the box. Quality, especially for the price, is outstanding and this 00 is just a blast to play. Yes, it's not a big made in the US acoustic, but I'll take it all day long.

    I bought this guitar because of the size. I have a full size dreadnought and I find it uncomfortable. The EL-00 is the perfect size. It has the sound of a bigger guitar. The build quality is great. I can't find any flaws. I bought this on sale and it was a great deal. Buy this guitar.

  • Amazing Guitar!!!

    This is an amazing guitar. The build quality is awesome. It sounds great. It plays great. I have the Pelham blue 339 also. Great guitar as well. The EL-00's size is perfect. I don't like those huge dreadnaught guitars. It sounds like a big guitar. Buy one!
