Epiphone’s
top best selling acoustic, the Epiphone DR-100 Acoustic Guitar offers beginners
and professionals superior sound, looks and build quality at a wallet-pleasing
price.
Body
The Epiphone
DR-100 Acoustic Guitar features a dreadnought body. This classic body shape is
the most common you will find, and with good reason; it works. Used across
genres this shape supplies a balanced tone that will fit in anywhere with a
loud voice that can be heard in an acoustic band.
As important
as the guitars shape is the woods that it’s made of and the Epiphone DR 100
Acoustic Guitar doesn’t skimp here. Select spruce has been chosen for the
guitars top to offer clarity and powerful projection. Responding well to being
played hard this wood also sounds better the more you play it, to really shape
its character.
Pairing up
with the spruce top beautifully is the mahogany body of the Epiphone DR100
Acoustic Guitar. Also giving a fair amount of projection to the mix this wood
focuses on the guitars treble and bass for a rich, mellow tone.
To keep the
Epiphone DR-100 Acoustics intonation rock-solid the guitar features a rosewood
bridge, glued at a precise position to ensure stability. Rosewood is also a tonal
match with the spruce top.
The Epiphone
DR-100 Guitars body is finished off nicely with a black binding and a black
pickguard with the famous Epiphone ‘E’, offsetting the guitars natural finish
beautifully.
Neck
The Epiphone
DR-100 Acoustic Guitar has a strong and stable mahogany neck that has been
glued-in at the 14th fret. This has been carved to with Epiphone’s SlimTaper
profile to make playing easy, comfortable and fast. The neck has been topped
with a rosewood fingerboard with Mother-of-Pearl dot inlays and the guitars
headstock features Epiphone’s classic Sloped Dovewing shape and die-cast
premium tuners.
