The Epiphone Marcus King El Dorado honours the rare 1970s square-shoulder dreadnought that launched the GRAMMY-nominated guitarist's career. This signature acoustic recreates the vintage model with a solid spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides, delivering the deep, resonant tone that improves with age. The 25.5" scale mahogany neck features a comfortable C-profile and period-correct headstock volute, while the glued-in dovetail joint ensures structural integrity and optimal energy transfer from strings to body. Marcus King's personal touches appear throughout: a custom pickguard matching his original guitar, a rosewood bridge inlaid with South Carolina's outline and Tennessee's Tri-Star emblem in mother-of-pearl, and a 1970s MIJ-style headstock with Epiphone Deluxe tuners. The three-ply bound rosewood fretboard carries 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl rounded-corner block inlays. Factory-installed L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle pickup with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provides stage-ready amplification without modification.
