Epiphone EE00MMANH3 EL-00 Pro Acoustic Electric Guitar (Mahogany Top Limited Edition) - No Case

The Epiphone EL-00 PRO s a direct descendent of Epiphone's original line of flattops. You'd have to go quite a far back to find the original however. 

Back in the 1930s - the 'golden age' of acoustics - the smaller "parlour"  guitars - more recently referred to as "blues boxes", due to their association with the eras bluesmen - were the mainstay of the guitar world. These guitars were famed for their compressed, woody tones, their slightly shorter scales. Things that make them ideal for fingerpicking or the bark of a bottle neck slide. 

To bring this smaller shape up-to-date the EL-00 PRO features the Fishman Sonitone soundhole preamp and Fishman Sonicore pickup. You can now plug the EL-00 PRO into any acoustic amps and be heard on any size stage. And with first class Fishman engineered tone.

In terms of specs the Epiphone EL-00 PRO features a solid spruce top with 3-ply black and white binding. The more you play a solid top, the better it sounds, one of the reasons vintage acoustics are so sought after. The back and sides are made of select mahogany with single ply white binding around the back. Mahogany and spruce are a classic combination, giving you warmth and brilliance and a bigger sound than you might expect from such small body. The smaller body is 15.5" wide at lower bout and gives the EL-00 a distinctive voice which is more focused than a dreadnought, making it perfect for singing over and a great fit for acoustic soloists. Another modern feature is the compensated imitation bone saddle. The mahogany neck has a SlimTaper "D" profile with a 1.68" nut and is set into the body with a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint premium Titebond glue. The 12" radius is another hat-tip easy playing modernity.
