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.

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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSerial #: 26031501898\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody Shape: Hummingbird\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack and Side Material: Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBinding: Single-ply, black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Profile: Rounded C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 1.69291\" \/ 43mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale length: 24.75\" \/ 629mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of frets: 20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInlay: Block, Mother of Pearl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBridge: Belly Down, Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePickguard: El Dorado\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTuners: Epiphone Deluxe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTruss Rod: 2-way Adjustable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlating: Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcoustic pickup: L.R.
