PRESS RELEASE – WINTER NAMM 2005

On The Case

You know how it is. You’ve played the show and melted the fretboard. You’ve shaken a few hands, met a few adoring fans and piled back into the Transit van. Then there’s a sickening crunch of wire and wood. It’s your prized Masterbilt acoustic – which has just been crushed by the full weight of your drummer’s 22-piece kit…and all because you didn’t invest in a proper case. You Muppet.

If you’re serious about taking your guitar on the road, then you need a decent case. And they don’t come much better than Epiphone’s latest offering. Following the overwhelming reaction to the Masterbilt ultra light-weight hard case, this new version has been specially designed for use with dreadnought and classical guitars. It comes in a stylish black fabric, offers fantastic protection from the rigours of the road and is designed to fit most dreadnought and classical models.

Whether you’re tearing down Route 66 in a tour bus or hitchhiking back from the Dog and Otter in Luton, no player can afford to be without it.
