“This guitar means the world to me. My first El Dorado was a gift from my father”: Marcus King’s signature Epiphone is a stunning dreadnought acoustic inspired by his first-ever guitar – and it has the coolest pickguard ever

Epiphone Marcus King El Dorado Limited Edition.

Epiphone and Marcus King have teamed up for a super-cool signature acoustic guitar based on his first ever guitar, the El Dorado – the gift from his father that he started his playing career on, and the guitar he named his debut solo album after.

This one is a doozy. It is a limited run, so get it while it’s hot. It has an all-solid build, with spruce on top, rosewood on the back and sides, with a soundhole-mounted LR Baggs Element Bronze acoustic guitar pickup system making it ready for the stage – and a custom pickguard and Antique Natural finish that makes this guitar ready for its close-up.
