I bought this Excellente in 2022 in the Netherlands. I’m in love with this guitar.
I understand,I have an EpiphoneJ 200 studio…
The same for me!
Cheers From deep south of France,
🖐😎🦊
Hard 2 believe a epi sounds this good. Seriously
I feel like it should be known how good this guys pick control and touch is. Glad to hear someone really play man. Sounds so good but it wouldn’t sound that good without you. Hell yea man
Great playing man 😌
a real reminder of just what a beautiful instrument the acoustic guitar can be.
I see
Great guitar, great playin, awful sounding pickup/preamp!
Yes, Pookie, this player has a master touche.
Now this sounds amazing. I’m glad this was released. Instant classic!
Ahhhhhh. That beautiful nasally twangy resonator tone that I just adore. Epiphone acoustics always have a knack for hitting that sound spot on. Beautiful guitar. So happy about the waffle back style tuners as well!!!
Could listen to this Video all day!! Beautiful Guitar and wonderful music by you.
Finally just before 3 hours ago I bought the Excellente.....(1158 euros, 1282 $)
Worth any penny!!!!!...
Greetings from the country of the founder of Epiphone, Greece!!!!
I wish all demos were like this. No talking just playing.
I finally got mine, yes it really sounds like it. I'm very happy with it.
Cheers, been looking at this guitar for a while couldn't find a decent video that showed how it sounds and plays
Thanks for “as always” beautiful and neutral presentations… adore your playing skill
It was just nice to hear you play, nice guitar too.
Excelente review
Wow that sounds incredible !!
That sounds fantastic! He is a great player too
Nice demo! Really appreciate the variety of styles!!
This guitar sounds beautiful
Great playing and demo ❤️
Thank you for not talking. Drives me crazy when these videos are used just to get attention. 'Just play the dang thing', is what I always think when they are talking. I love the guitar, and, as well, your playing. Very sensitive, and no Neanderthalitus, whatsoever!
Just ordered it beautiful guitar
The sound and musicianship is excellent!
☆☆☆☆☆
😎
Great sound!
FINALLY!
THANK YOU!!!
Sounds amazing.
Beautiful guitar.
Mine arrives in mid April, can't wait. Killer tones coming from your playing here, tasty !!
Where did you order it from if I may ask? I cannot find them anywhere...
I'm getting mine in April too from guitar center they're on back order
Great demo, great Epiphone, gotta get me one...
Need so many more videos like this. I'll simply state the obvious.
Let the music do the talking?
Wonderful, enjoyable and educational.
I love it.
Sounds amazing!!! Didn’t like the Frontier too much. Just got the new J-200 and LOVE it. This is next! Thanks for the post 👍.
Did you play the frontier? I'm saving up for either one of these guitars or the frontier, I'm really not sure which way to go yet. Good thing it will be a while before I have to choose lol.
The Excellente is the best ever “modern era” Epiphone acoustic.
I was getting ready to buy another Martin, not now thanks for saving me $1k.
I think the difference between my Masterbuilt and a production run Martin are only very minimal and I own both. Martin, Fender and Gibson just too proud....
Awsome!
That guitar sounds good.
Thank yiou for playing and not talking like others
can you compare this vs epiphone hummingbird inspired by gibson aged
I’m torn between the j200 and frontier. I have an Alvarez aj80ce, with solid maple back and sides and Sitka top. It was the best sounding guitar that I owned. But the frets are very soft metal and the bridge is coming off. I think I try to find a luthier and get it back in shape, if get well enough. The j200 has the same wood as my Alvarez. Awesome playing man! Thanks for the video. On your next reviews, it would be nice to know what the action is, 12th fret or so. Nobody covers that
Sound nice 👍
I bought the demo from Sweatwater. 😍 I love this guitar. Sounds great, feels great and my action on mine is super low.
How's tuning stability?
Great sound and skill , what are the first few numbers he plays? I’d like to have a go !
Thanks for the demo. I would really love to hear it again in a few months, though, without the new string zing and the reverb. It's hard to judge the tone with those things going on.
Snazzy pickguard. 🤩
Sounds great! What strings are you using?
i want to learn those songs, so beautiful, anyone have any idea where i could get the names of tunes (maybe he wrote them)
Ok I have to order one now, none available as far as I can see until August or September in Canada
@Edwin Estrada there an Excellente on eBay from Denmark if you want to pay more
it sounds gorgeous, but how is the action and intonation from factory?
The action and intonation was good. Cheers, Michael
Set up is perfect
Compared to epiphone j200, which one has better sound?
The Excellente sounds way better.
Between this and a Recording king RD 328, have you played both
This is supposed to be a very heavy guitar like 9lbs! I have the Recording King Rd328, the neck is very slim, problems with string buzz on mine but maybe that will change with medium strings on it. Haven't played this one but sounds fuller
String buzz on rd 328 is from humidity , cut slices in a baggy and put a wet rag in it and put it in the sound hole for 72 hours
Got mine today not happy with it. Sounds dark. Not loud or crisp at all.
I wish epiphone would make masterbuilds lefthanded
Flip it over like Macca did. And double up on the pick guard.
Fantastic guitar, just saw it yesterday in our guitar Store by chance... I‘m not an Epiphone fan...never was... But this guitar is a G.....-Killer, the audio does not always reflect the warm, full sound. And it is heavy in comparrison...it feels much more like a Gibson than Epiphone. Well, I dont like the headstock/Inlay Design, and it comes without any gigbag or case. String tension, fretboard and Intonation are just Great...
Masterbuilts are just a whole different animal. Exceptional build quality but I think it is still lesser quality woods which makes it still a bit 'missing' on depth of sound quality. Do it side by side with higher end and you instantly recognize it.
@@EmptyMirrorMindful You dont know what you are talking about and your comments are obviously from someone who hasnt played one of these guitars because to say that they are made from lesser quality wood is talking utter horseshit and one of the worse cases of of misinformation I've ever read on CZcams.
@@Edward1312 It is all opinion when it comes to sound and preference, listen to them yourself. And spare me about the ‘worst example of misinformation on youtube’ comment. I have in fact played them. I actually love masterbuilt guitars from a build quality perspective. Unfortunately the ones I have demo’d just werent impressing me from a tonal perspective and I have had some exceptional instruments. Was I expecting them to compete with a $3500 custom Martin I have owned. Of course not. Maybe those just happened to be a few outliers, no idea. But that was my personal experience and opinion. I actually really wanted to buy one because of past experience with Masterbuilt Epis, but at the time, those came from Japan. I have no allegiance to any brand or hidden agenda. The assumption on my part contributable to the wood is simply based on listening. As they are all built to pretty good specs these days, what else would it be? Again, just my opinion but I’m certainly not a master luthier. Lighten up dude, i have no vendetta against Epiphone, actually exactly the opposite.
My current is a yamaha LL16D. There is an exceptional sounding instrument for the price. At least my single copy was.
@@EmptyMirrorMindful I dont care how long your response is its obvious you dont know what you are talking about.
@@Edward1312 I tried to be polite. Grow up junior.
Hi! Can someone tell me the name of the song he plays in the demos but around 2:24 please! Sounds so beautiful and would like to learn it. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
It sounds like two songs combined. Almost sounds like Jason Isbell "Only Children"
@@angelnevarez3308 thanks so much! Will look into it
Masterbilt vs Masterplayer.
Yeah... I wish
How much does it cost? This is a guitar I want
$899
One year later it is still $899
What a great value, but never mind that, this guitar is the equal of many Taylors and Martins that are twice the price.
Where are made?. USA or indonesia.
Made in Indonesia, but don't let that set you back. This thing is spec'd on steroids and is one of the best built guitars you'll ever play. I'm still blown away that Gibson allowed them to do this.
what is the exact nutwidth ?
1.68" / 42.672mm
1.69" / 43mm according to Epiphone's own website
@@NytronX
What's .01" / .328 mm between friends?
Damn now I am confused to choose between this guitar or the AJ45ME 😅
I have the excellente and sold a AJ 45 to get it and IMHO I should have kept both guitars as they each have a unique sound and i love them both.
@@TommySprocket does excellente feel like...made in Indonesia?
@@stathkon The neck is great and the guitar looks and plays like it's very expensive. The workmanship is very professional and I wouldn't change a thing the only negative is the weight of the neck with it being solid maple with an ebony fretboard it is what it is.
@@TommySprocket what about the hq? they say that is sounds awful when plugged
@@stathkon To be honest I have not plugged it in I mic my acoustic guitars. If its like my AJ45 Epi( they have the same Fishman system then it prolly is terrible but then again I had that guitar for three years and didn't use the onboard system The guy that bought it from me had to fix a small problem and he said it was good enough for Church music.
Nice guitar, the white pearl blob on the headstock looks weird
that's how the original Excellente was.
It's made that way so it can be seen by an auditorium audience. A lot of old time acoustics had oversized enhancements like that. Think of the Grand Ole Opry days.
my baby comes in the mail tomorrow
Stunning guitar but the neck is to fat for me. Aahhhh 😕😕😕... great sound!
nice sound...the fishman sounds like a piezo however
Who is this guy
Ohh man it's really a different guitar.. not so recognized among guitarist sad to know
They are the same sound like gibson
calm down
@@sooparticular hhaha! Put me in front of any high end acoustic guitar ill only choose gibson j45 standard VS
@@chasecalixto i mean I am a pro and a teacher here in nyc... Ive owned tons of guitars......the epi is very good but a good Gibson is amazing ...like Martin!!
@@sooparticular wow cool..yeap..taylor martin..takamine etc..but as of my ears develop gibson j45 give a nice balance tone..not too bright but good bass..for me its well balance acoustic guitar..anyone else.
that pickup is horrible but the unplugged sound is very nice
Lots of effects making this guitar sound better.
Don’t use reverb on a sound demo...........
The demo police have spoken......
That reverb is only from the room
@Balex I know it sounds like there's an amount of reverb applied but that really is just the guitar (and the room as D R said above). I have this guitar and those mid tones just resonate and sustain naturally. It's a lovely sounding guitar to play.
As the last chord rings out the end of the second piece the chair creaks at 1:59 and that sounds much dryer compared to the guitar.
Sounds too bright, but if a 103 that would make sense
The acoustic tone of this guitar is good, not great, but good. The pickup is awful. Since nobody plays acoustically except for practicing in their bedroom, a change of pickup should be budgeted. So, add $400.00 or more with installation.
No one plays acoustically except for practicing?
@@PaulWilliamGibson Yep.
@@PaulWilliamGibson
Tyrone is the "everyone" that doesn't play acoustic except for practicing. In a band or concert setting, you are more likely to hear a mic'd acoustic (pure or with separate EQ), rather than someone using the preamp that is built in.
No one plugs in acoustics. If you need to record an acoustic, use a microphone. The "plugged in" sound of all acoustics sounds like utter trash.
@@NytronX "No one plugs in acoustics"? I guess you need to send a memo to every living professional artist that performs to let them know what you know.
Si vero ...ottimo suono ma non tutte!
Io ne ho una che fa' vomitare oggi! E' di 10 anni fa ' circa!
Thank You but No Thank You I'll stay with my HUMMINGBIRD.
Epiphone Masterbilt also has an excellent version of the Hummingbird.
And of course it's the most exceptionally beautiful guitar in the range.
