Long before he became one of today's most celebrated blues guitarists, Marcus King strummed his first chords on a 1970s Epiphone El Dorado. The limited-edition Epiphone Marcus King El Dorado acoustic-electric guitar marks the return of Epiphone’s legendary square-shoulder dreadnought, pairing all-solid tonewoods with vintage-inspired appointments and modern stage-ready electronics. A solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides produce a rich, resonant voice that grows more expressive over time, while a mahogany neck with a comfortable Rounded C profile and rosewood fingerboard deliver a familiar, effortless playing experience. The LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC pickup faithfully captures its natural acoustic character for the stage and studio, while custom inlays, a pickguard inspired by Marcus’ personal El Dorado and a premium hardshell case complete a tribute worthy of both the original instrument and the artist who helped introduce it to a new generation.
