Feature:
I like the volume and tone knob setup, with a master volume and master tone for each neck. I wish they were a little more accessible. The toggle switches are well located and the guitar is very easy to operate. I purposely got the model that DOES NOT have the bolt-on necks.
Quality:
I was impressed with the workmanship. The metal parts are not top quality, but they are much more than adequate and I've had no trouble with tuning machines, switches, pickups, etc.
Value:
This is definitely worth the cost. I tried the Gibsons and they aren't THAT much better to warrant the immense difference in price.
Desirability:
It is very practical for me as I use a 12-string several times a night and sometimes I don't want to slow down the show so I can pick up a different guitar. I got a white one - - very nice looking.
Sound:
Well, it doesn't sound like a Rickenbacker 12-string, but the sound did pleasantly surprise me. I was also pretty happy with the 6-string sound. The pickups are strong and somewhat quiet, but they are not top quality.
Ease of Use:
Basically, there are some nice advantages here, so I'll dwell on the negative.
The first is the poor access to the high frets. Anything above the 15th fret is out of reach. The toggle switch that allows the player to have both guitars on at the same time isn't very practical - too much sympathetic vibration. It's heavy and doesn't set very well on the shoulder. I put a 2nd strap button behind the lower (6-string) neck and that made it more comfortable, but the strap prevented me from going past the 13th fret. Ya win some, ya lose some.
Support:
I haven't needed support, so I guess that makes it a 10.
Overall:
I am satisfied with it and will keep it. It definitely fills a need. I don't think I'll ever have it as my only guitar on stage, I have much better, and better-sounding guitars.

Feature:
As good components as any higher-end model. Pickups were very responsive,low noise on the 12 side,which was nice.
Quality:
Seemed to be made quite well,but again,it was a "loaner"!!
Value:
Very affordable,especially when you consider all you get for the money--Nicely made!!
Desirability:
As soon as I can afford one of my own,it WILL be the next guitar I get!!! A definite necessity for my style of music.
Sound:
I am in a progressive rock band,and usually have to switch between a 12-string acoustic on a stand,and my electric. Once,I was fortunate enough to be able to use a friend's Epiphone double neck (except it was white)-An outstanding instrument,both in sound and playability!!Perfect for the type of music I play.HOPEFULLY,someday,I'll be able to afford my own!!!
Ease of Use:
Heavy,yet very comfortable to play (A Les Paul is my main electric,so weight is not an issue for me.)
Overall:
Whenever I select an instrument,it generally becomes a permanent part of my lineup.This would be INDISPENSIBLE!!!
