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\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 MlJ-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\u003cp\u003eFor stage and studio readiness, the Marcus King El Dorado comes equipped with an L.R.
