Epiphone Announces New Spring 2015 Models

Dobro Hound Dog M14 Metalbody and Epiphone's Blueshawk Deluxe make the catalog   14-May-15

Epiphone has introduced two new guitars to the Epiphone catalog – the Dobro Hound Dog M14 Metalbody and the return of the Epiphone Blueshawk Deluxe. Both guitars will be available in spring 2015.

Epiphone President Jim Rosenberg, told us, "The Dobro Hound Dog M14 and the Blueshawk Deluxe are perfect examples of what we do best at Epiphone. It's our mission to provide guitar players of all genres incredible style, sound and value."

Here's descriptions of the two guitars in Epiphone's own words...

Dobro Hound Dog M14 Metalbody

Epiphone's Dobro® Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody guitar features an easy-to-play Round Neck and the renowned resonator style and sound that have been inspiring Dobro® fans since the late 1920s. The body of the Dobro® Hound Dog M-14 is made from Bell Brass with nickel plating and features a SlimTaper™ D-profile Mahogany neck for a rich and full tone that makes finger picking and sliding smooth and easy in all registers. Unlike hard-to-play vintage models, the new Dobro® Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody features a dual action truss rod for quick and reliable intonation.

Blueshawk Deluxe

Epiphone's Blueshawk Deluxe is the long-awaited return of an original classic. The Blueshawk Deluxe was first introduced in the '90s and has been a connoisseur favorite ever since. The Blueshawk Deluxe features the upper bout curve and cutaway of a Les Paul, but with the semi-hollowbody design and small f-holes of an archtop.  The result is one of the most versatile and distinctive guitars anywhere. The Epiphone Blueshawk Deluxe also includes new P-90 PRO™ Single Coil pickups plus a 6-position Rotary VariTone™.

Pricing and Availability:
Dobro Hound Dog M14 Metalbody (Round Neck): MSRP $999
