SOLID-WOOD
EN-546C
With a slightly narrower nut than the standard classical
guitar, plus a cutaway body shape, the EN-546 makes
steel-string guitarists feel instantly at home as they
expand into nylon string guitars. This guitar is available
with the LR Baggs Element system* with a Preamp
voiced personally by Lloyd Baggs to perfectly match
the Epiphone Masterbilt EN-500 series guitars.
*The Epiphone Masterbilt Series uses the L.R. Baggs Element system exclusively, which
includes preamp, soundhole-mounted volume control and under-saddle pickup.
**All Epiphone Masterbilt guitars come with a hard Gigbag, embroidered with the Epiphone
