"Great Buy"

Quality:
Haven't had any problems.Paint is still glossy.Tuning heads still tight.Knobs are customized,so I don't know as far as the originals.Overall,it's very well put together.

Value:
Definatley worth it.

Desirability:
If you like metal or hard rock,this guitar is for you.It's got that metal crunch,while you can also play something clean and bluesy too.

Sound:
Freakin awesome.Seriously,nice heavy tone.Sounds excellent.It's got an excellent clean tone too.Nice crisp sound.And mine is stock,didn't change the pickups.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them.No need to.

Overall:
I'm keeping this for years.It's an excellent guitar.

"Just change the pickups!"

Feature:
I only put down a 9 because this guitar doesn't really have any special features, just a bare-boned metal guitar!

Quality:
The quality of this guitar is excellent, for having been made in korea (mine is anyway, I think the new ones are MIC)..

Value:
I think this guitar is a GREAT value, especially if you are looking for a metal guitar on a budget. All I reccomend doing is changing out the pickups, and it sounds like a Gibson!

Desirability:
I was GASsing for this guitar for about a year before I bought it, must be one of the sexiest guitars I've ever seen.

Sound:
This is the ONLY place that this guitar lacks.. The stock pickups aren't too great, they can get pretty muddy under distortion.. I switched them out to a set of Gibson 496R/500T ceramics and this thing absolutely SCREAMS now!!

Ease of Use:
Set up perfect outta the box. I couldn't be happier.

Support:
Haven't neede to deal with Epiphone..

Overall:
Overall, just a wonderful guitar.. Everything about it is great.. It screams "METAL!!", sounds great (after pup upgrade). feels great, you name it!
