Rockin an Epiphone Archtop Guitar

- Doing a quick demonstration of this awesome Masterbilt De Luxe that Epiphone sent me. The first archtop guitar I've actually gotten a chance to play. I'm digging it and even used it in the new track I did with Andrea if you want to check it out in context:

A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his UA-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.
Great video! Refreshing to hear someone play something on an archtop that isn't jazz or blues licks.
Fabulous dem, my friend. By far the best on this instrument.
I absolutely love that tone!
Thanks! I'm diggin it too!
Awesome, great to hear one of these used so well.
I have the slightly smaller 'Zenith" version.
Have a great week,
Cheers, Mike!
Thanks for watching Mike! Have a good one!
I have the Olympic of this series and love mine. Great demo!
Awesome guitar man.. i love the way you add so much dynamics into your guitar playing.. :)
Thanks so much!
Pleasures all mine man..
The fingerstyle playing example reminded me of shakey graves. Very cool.
Thanks! LOVE Shakey!
Sounds way better than my Epiphone Methbuilt K Hole guitar!
I've heard the Methbuilt stuff is kinda rough.
Sounds really nice, lovely tone!
Thanks! I really like it!
Nice demo for a nice guitar with a nice guy,a nice cap and a sweat even more nice ...crocodile power!
You know it!
Really? No one is gonna talk about his childhood nightmare?
Ifkr
I was so confused
So, I don’t know exactly what model it is because I don’t currently have access to it, but my grandfather had an Epiphone arch top with the f-holes that he bought in the 40s just like that one. He’s the guy who first taught me to play guitar. I got a pic somewhere of him playing it while he was teaching me some chords.
So cool!
Excellent guitar
I've been playing since the 1960s but only electric, recently I've gone acoustic and bought a Sigma Jumbo and an Epiphone Hummingbird they're great but I may purchase an Archtop. This one sounds great I might buy one.
Daddystove pipe and His AR .. it is a nice looking Epiphone
I would play it in a slide style, something like delta blues. How it works? Thanks!
Hey Sean: I dunno if their music is right up your alley but can you make a guitar lesson on how to write progressions like Stone Temple Pilots? Their chord progressions are pretty interesting and it would be great to have a breakdown of how they write their chords
Great idea. LOVE STP! Definitely one of my top 10 fave bands.
Awesome
Thanks Mark!
Very good video thanks a lot.
I want to by the same model. But I would like to know if is the guitar is loud enough to jam acoustic?
Thank you so much
Thanks for watching! Definitely loud enough to jam with other acoustic guitars. Really the volume difference isn't much at all.
This guitar is as loud as most flattop guitars I know. The sound is more midrange sounding and it has less bass than a normal Dreadnaugh or Jumbo guitar. If you play the guitar, it seems sometimes, that the volume of the guitar is less than the volume from a flattop guitar, because the sound radiation is more flatwise to the guitar top, but the people, which are listening to your playing, will have a contrary impression, while you are jamming.
I just ordered one. they say on the description it has a tuner where is it?
Thank you for the great demo. Would a regular guitar amp work best with this guitar, or would an acoustic amp be better? Thanks again.
Good question, I honestly don't have a lot of experience with 'acoustic' amps but I'm doing a video on this soon!
@@seandaniel23 , Awesome! I will be looking forward to your video.
Cool!
Sean is the top supported under the bridge with bracing or anything? Might be a stupid question but wondering about the construction. It does sound pretty darn good.
Well it has what's called 'longitudinal' bracing. I'm not an expert on bracing construction but it definitely feels well put together.
@@seandaniel23 thank you. Donald
It's a good guitar no doubt about it, but if your looking for that signature archtop sound, you should just look for vintage harmony, kay, hofner archtops. They will sound close to a 30s to 60s epiphone and gibson archtops for a cheaper price. These new ones sound closer to a dreadnought to my ears having played them in the store. Those vintage archtops both have the sound and character in my opinion :D
Great video I have a 1965 it looks just like yours I'm thinking about putting a DeArmond monkey on a stick pick up on it what do you think
Great video. I was close to giving up on mine. It was dead spinding. Very dull . I could hear the sound board wood starting to flex, push out a sweet tone. It took a month. The electrics were awful, so we're the tuners, both replaced. It's my only guitar now.
The fact of the guitar having a solid top rather than laminate is very good, but it’s still molded into shape. As you know, original archtops had sculpted tops, not molded.
haha, I did NOT know that actually. I'm learning :)
The tops of the early epiphones were all carved. The backs of the high end models in the range were carved as well with only the lower end having pressed backs. The epis from before the war were more or less considered a slight step above gibson in quality.
They were made by violin makers
Not only is the "u" in Masterbilt silent, it isn't even in there at all.
Pretty edgy.
Nice jamming.
Thanks Doug!
Very cool. (Side note: how haven’t arch tops become the guitar of choice among hipsters? 🤔)
I think I can speak on behalf of all hipsters and say yes.
They are NOT cheap lol
Hipsters like modern guitars. Check out silent guitars or the new Fender Acoustasonic
@@ohyeahyeah4267 yeah they are lol
What’s the model??
So what’s the difference between these and flat tops? Sound the same to me
Well supposedly the 'arch-ness' of the top gives it more of a midrangy sound.
I thought it was Brandon Flowers, lead singer of The Killers!😄
Giving away cheap in uk no one buying them
I’m keen on the sound unplugged - but when it’s plugged in it sounds great
It really sounds better plugged in than any of my other acoustics.
S E A N ! Play some ""SCOTT MOORE"" for us ! I'm looing to buy a Eppi "Broadway" or ES-175" ? Whatcha Think of Those Eppii AarchTop Guitars ????? THANKs, Ol West !
Oh nice! 175s are so cool!
How much does a guitar like that costs?
I think they go for 650.
I was looking at this guitar a few years ago isn't it a remake of a famous 30s blues or jazz guitar
Yeah they definitely tried to recreate the style of the old 30s and 40s ones.
Is it solid top? Or solid back and sides?
Solid top
What kind of strings does this guitar come with? I’m a lazy former metal guitarist that has taken a liking to a jazzier brand of music 😉 I’ve got a “real”, traditional acoustic guitar, and love it, but I’m still in the market for a guitar with electric strings that I can play acoustically. There’s still a lead guitarist inside me that would love to see a marriage between these two worlds, I’m just always curious about these arch tops. Some of them have humbuckers in them, so it made me wonder. Can I get a hollow body, strap 0.10 electric strings on it, and get it to sound half decent? I don’t care for the pick up. Preferably it’s fully acoustic, just with electric strings. Maybe this guitar holds part of the answer.
mi sueño es tener una de esas
Sadly the matte finish makes it look more like a toy IMO, and the pickup doesn't sound great to my ears.
Looks like a 60s Kay
Vintage.
This guy is like Chris Pratt and Ryan Reynolds' son.
He looks more like pewdiepie son

I really don’t like acoustic pick ups. They just sound really naff.
You look like pewdiepie
How dare you say anything bad about kid & play. You need to immediately go and watch house party & house party 2 while doing the kid & play kickstep the entire time. Also watch the movie where they change places in highschool. Bonus points to whoever remembers the name of that movie.
Haha, ok ok.
Damn I'm first
I can die now
Champion!
How is Minecraft pewds?
Sounds like a guitar
It's TOP NOT TARP
Your hat looks stupid. But when you play like that, with a guitar like that, for us to listen to for free...who cares about the stupid hat. Great video, thanks Sean.
TheNarwhal yeah, after I wrote that I figured I must have crossed some line somewhere. Oops. 🤷♂️
I love my hat :)
The guitar sounds better than your voice.
