"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!

"this guitar said"Without me it's just aweso"

Feature:
People gripe about pickups THEY'RE FINE

Quality:
im about half gothic as it is and when im on stage wearing as many black things as posible it suites me.you could drop this thing a thousand times it still plays ok

Value:
this product is a hell of a lot better than the other explorers

Desirability:
I wanted it the first day I ever saw it

Sound:
this has a nice crunchy toon. and on distortion i have a boss mega distortion and it sounded like anthrax sound.

Ease of Use:
its really easy to get graet sound from this product, just turn the knob to 12 and start shredding.

Support:
nope

Overall:
its a death metal made guitar.the guitar gods are still watching over this one
