I expect this to be my final guitar purchase, because it does everything I want a guitar to do.

Sound
I am very pleased with the sound of this guitar. Unplugged it has a mellow acoustic sound with enough volume and control to fit my needs as a worship leader in both small group as well as in the church sanctuary. Plugged to my Epiphone tube amp, it does anything I need it to from folk style and light worship to heavy rock. Avery versatile guitar that meets my every need. I did, however change out the strings to light guage Elixers which I think gives it a brighter sound.

Features
I love the built in equalizer and tuner and it's looks cannot be beat with gold tuners that hold a tune very well and a black top that is flawless.

Ease of Use
As I said before, this is a very versatile guitar. Unplugged it delivers a very mellow yet vibrant tone. Plugged in with the right equipment you can make it fit any style of music you would want to play.

Quality
The quality is excellent - a real bargain for a solid guitar. I carry it with me to many venues and I think it will do what I need for as long as I need it to. I'm an older guy (pushing 60), but I'm certain that my son or grandson will be very happy to inherit this guitar when I am gone and still get a lifetime of use out of it.

Value
A great value, well worth what I paid for it! read more

Manufacturer Support
I have had no need of support for this instument, so I'm not sure what that may look like at this point.

The Wow Factor
I've been looking at this guitar for about a year and finally had to break down and buy it. It looks good, sounds good, has great action, is easy to handle and play and I love the shallow body with the big sound. I got rid of an Epiphone Les Paul Plus to purchase this and I'm not in the least sorry, because I can do so much more with this guitar than I could with the Les Paul.
