In this video from Epiphone, Margo plays an Epiphone Masterbuilt Century Deluxe. In the corresponding interview she says, "everybody in the band really loves that guitar. My guitar player Jamie Davis played it on our NPR Tiny Desk Session. It has such a great tone. It's just amazing. When I pick it up it inspires me to write more then when I'm playing on my J-45. It has a really warm rich sound. I find myself picking on it more than strumming." (http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/Features/2017/The-Epiphone-Interview-Margo-Price.aspx)
