"BEAUTIFUL GUITAR, NICE TONE, ACTION N EVERYTHING. GOOD PRICE!"

Feature:
The guitar has a very beautiful gold color to it, came with one slanted knob lol which I fixed. It came with a cool epiphone poster and a cable but the cable didn't last me very long, only about two months or so but the guitar is totally awesome, you won't regret buying.

Quality:
Well there are a few little missing tiny parts on the gold paint job but thats only if you look closely at it. I don't know about others but mine has a little gold smear on the fret board somewhere on the lower frets but it doesn't effect playability. This is a great guitar for the price, the neck has great action, great tone and is a beautiful, beautiful guitar.

Value:
I guess I could say this guitar is worth the price, I've never played a Gibson before but GOD DAMN those Gibsons are expensive!!! This is a really nice guitar and it's worth buying it.

Desirability:
It's very BEAUTIFUL and has a nice tone. These are the exact words from my brother when he first saw it. "OOO THATS NICE"

Sound:
This guitar has a very nice bluesy sound which I bought for. I would say it's good for classic rock, especially ACDC, maybe even some ozzy if you crank it up. BEAUTIFUL nice tone.

Ease of Use:
Well I play Ozzy songs, I love the Rhoads tone. I have a mxr distortion pedal but it screws the sound up a little, I mean has lots of static to it. I just bought the dimarzio super distortion p90 style and I'm really looking forward to the new sound. The original soap bars are a little too soft for me.

Support:
I've had this guitar for 6 months and so far I haven't needed support. I don't think I'll ever need support, this guitar is strong built from (many pieces of wood).

Overall:
This guitar is a KEEP. I will never sell it and of course I would replace it if it were stolen. Even if I get a better guitar, I'll still use this one as a back up. I LOVE IT :)

"AMAZING TONE!"

Feature:
has the basics of a les paul. the 4 knobs that contol the pickups sound,the 3 way switch that controls the actual pickups, and grover tuners. i got mine with a poster and some cables cause it was special ordered......i did take my pickguard of. IT LOOKS SOOOO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT IT!

Quality:
i found no blemish on the paint job, some people say it gets out of tune, bull****, my guitar stays in tune, i go to tune my guitar and bout 3-4 of the strings are already tuned up. lucky me! its a pretty sturdy guitar i havnt dropped it but if u get a case youll be set.

Value:
it is way worth it if u cant afford a gibson

Desirability:
very sexy!!!!!!!! the gold paint makes the guitar stand out and get noticed.

Sound:
it is great! real rich in tone, very clean.

Ease of Use:
i found that it was kinda easier to play cause on my old Ibanez i couldnt really hear my sound but on this it is cleaner and richer

Support:
its a epiphone you know

Overall:
i expect to have this guitar for all my life even if it gets ruined, cause ill buy another. this guitar has changed the way i play guitar to a muddy disgusting tone to a rich, clean resonant tone.
