Overview
A Fishman Sonicore pickup with preamp EQ lets this cutaway flattop plug in. The top is spruce over maple back, sides and neck, with a pau ferro fretboard and a moustache-shaped pau ferro bridge.
Epiphone describes it as a modification of the King of the Flattops, adding a cutaway for fret access and a preamp EQ. The listing credits outstanding projection and a strong low end. Top construction is claimed only in the title, so confirm it with the seller.
Who it's for
Gigging acoustic players who need to plug in and reach high frets will use the cutaway and preamp. Left-handed players are ruled out by the right-hand listing, and travelers will find the large body awkward. Shoppers who want a case or strap should note the included components entry reads not included.

Performance notes
The spruce top drives the sound while the maple back and sides reflect it, which Epiphone credits with strong projection and low-end response. Once plugged in, the Fishman Sonicore pickup and preamp EQ shape the amplified tone. Plugged-in volume depends on the amp or PA it feeds.
