Marcus King—renowned guitarist, singer, songwriter, and GRAMMY®-nominated artist—paid tribute to this legendary instrument, which was his first-ever guitar, with his 2020 Americana album El Dorado, underscoring its lasting influence and creative spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Epiphone proudly introduces the Marcus King El Dorado, a faithful homage to King’s original guitar. This limited-edition model captures the essence of the vintage El Dorado while offering modern reliability and performance. It features a square-shoulder dreadnought body with solid rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top, delivering a warm, resonant tone that improves with age. The body is accented with four-ply top binding and single-ply back binding. A 25.5” scale mahogany neck with a comfortable C-profile and headstock volute joins the body via a traditional dovetail joint. The headstock sports a 70s MIJ-inspired shape, a bone nut, Epiphone Deluxe tuners with metal buttons, and a mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo. The three-ply bound rosewood fingerboard includes 20 frets and rounded-corner block inlays in mother-of-pearl. The belly-down rosewood bridge features a compensated bone saddle and black pins, along with custom inlays of South Carolina’s outline and Tennessee’s Tri-Star emblem—personal touches honoring Marcus King’s roots. Completing the look is a custom pickguard modeled after the one on King’s vintage El Dorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor stage and studio readiness, the Marcus King El Dorado comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze under-saddle pickup and preamp, with discreet volume and tone controls mounted at the soundhole’s edge for easy access without compromising aesthetics. Each guitar ships in a hardshell case featuring a Marcus King signature graphic, ensuring it stays protected wherever your music takes you. This is your chance to own a rare tribute to a beloved 70s-era Epiphone and one of today’s most influential artists—but act quickly, as the Marcus King El Dorado is available for a limited time only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSN: 26031500043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Side Wood: Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"lightGreyBg\"\u003eBody Size: Dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"lightGreyBg\"\u003eTop Wood: Solid Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"\"\u003eNut Width: 1.69\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"lightGreyBg\"\u003eNeck Shape: Rounded C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"\"\u003eBracing Pattern: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTraditional Scalloped X-bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"lightGreyBg\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"\"\u003ePickup: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLR Baggs Element Bronze VTC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"lightGreyBg\"\u003eTuners: Epiphone Deluxe\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"\"\u003eCase: Epiphone Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCall or Message for more details on this fine guitar.\u003cbr\u003e*Photos shown are of the actual guitar for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49923792929025,"sku":"26031500043","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/8690\/4662\/files\/D1B89C33-2F3C-4FFE-8FD8-720F68D18D3C.jpg?v=1785173830","url":"https:\/\/musicvilla.com\/products\/epiphone-marcus-king-el-dorado-release-8-5","provider":"Music Villa MT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
