I am thinking about buying one. It has the same mellow tones I hear coming from Gibsons that sell (on sale) for $1,600-2,200. It is currently on sale at the G.C. for $569....it's usually around $650_700 on sale.
I read nothing but great reviews. Does anyone here have one?
Thanks!

I picked one up today. Sounded nice.
Not big boy Gibson nice, but not big boy Gibson price.
$650 ain't a little steep? I'm actually asking. Not crapping on that guitar. I did not pay attention to the materials.

No, $650 is a great price for that guitar. It's solid wood and comes with many bells and whistles. Check out the specs.

Haven't really heard a bad word about the Masterbilts.

Does sound good then.

I have yet to hear anything negative, but I would love to get the opinion of someone who has owned one for a year or more.

I have one of The Aj-500s,satin sunburst. have had it about 6 years.
Thing is super loud and the slightest brush over the strings sounds off,BIG.It's a big guitar though.
interesting thing about this guitar,it has a slight imperfection in the neck,like a knot,behind the third fret, I kind of like that.
I consider them in the same class as the Alvarez Yairi. You can't beat them for playing,for the price.
when I first got it and started playing it, I did have to adjust the action a couple of times.it finally settled in though I guess,and haven't needed to mess with it again.

The Masterbilts are all solid materials.

I have not played that model.

yeah, I'm not sure they are still making them,they are pretty much exact copies of The Gibson J-50,and a lot of people don't like the roundish shoulder guitar look.
I am not crazy about the way it looks either,but I don't think you can beat the sound for the price.

I am not a big fan of that shape, either, if I am thinking of the same thing...but I love the classic look of the DR-500mce.
