Solid Cedar Top Produces an Authentic Classical Guitar Tone

The E1's solid cedar top gives it a rich, mellow tone reminiscent of traditional classical guitars. Cedar is a popular wood for classical guitar tops due to its ability to produce complex overtones and a broad tonal range. The E1's cedar top, combined with its mahogany back and sides, results in a warm, balanced acoustic voice perfect for classical guitar repertoire.

Comfortable Neck and Low Action For Easy Playability

Epiphone designed the E1 to be exceptionally easy to play, with a slim neck and low string action. Its nut width of 1.75" and flatter 12" fretboard radius feel familiar to most guitarists. The E1's low action, made possible by its dual-action truss rod and radiused fretboard, produces little resistance when fretting notes and chords. This high playability makes the E1 an excellent choice for beginners and students.

Timeless Design Highlights

The E1's elegent cosmetic details highlight its classical guitar inspiration. Ivory and black binding adorns the guitar's body, neck, and headstock, and an inlaid rosette surrounds the soundhole. Chrome tuners, a tortoiseshell pickguard, and a satin finish complete the E1's stylish yet understated look. A gig bag is available separately to keep your E1 protected when transporting it.
