The Masterbilt DR-500MCE offers outstanding depth and complexity in the vein of the great large-bodied mahogany-and-spruce flat-tops. The solid spruce top presents an excellent clarity and complexity, while the mahogany back and sides contributes full lows and added complexity. All of this, and unsurpassed volume and projection, suit the Masterbilt DR-500MCE to a surprisingly wide range of playing styles.  
Design
