"Great product for the money"

Feature:
No Accessories.

Quality:
Bought as a blemished, There are no dents, scratches, or discoloration. Can not see a problem. Looks fine to me.

Value:
This is a good sounding guitar and is worth what I paid for it. in fact I would pay more for a guitar with this kind of sound.

Desirability:
I buy for sound, a good sound will make any guitar more appealling

Sound:
Nice bright tone. Good sound projection. I have seven guitars and they all have thier own sound. The Epi Dove is a close second to my Martin D-18 that Ive had for the last 16 years. The Martin is more mellow, and the Dove is brighter. The other five guitars that I own do not have the tonal quality Martin or the Dove.

Ease of Use:
Action was fine right out of the box. Will eventually use lighter strings. May have to tweak someday, get a little buzz on the Bass E string at times, not bad though. All in all this guitar sounds better than I expected.

Support:
Have not had to contact them.

Overall:
Because of the sound that I get from this guitar I will keep it. When you get a guitar that sounds alive you should keep it, you may not get that sound from another one.

"What a lovely guitar"

Feature:
The acoustic guitar has all the feature necessary for a life time of enjoyment. I added a Vintage bone nut and saddle. The addition probably improved the tone a litle but the purpose of the upgrade was to give an already fine guitar pofessional features. The hard sheel case is excellent. I did have to purchase the case but the guitar was under $300.00. Are you cheap or what? Just kidding.

Quality:
Keep in mind this is a $300 guitar, one tenth the cost of its big brother. The quality of the epiphones are generally excellent and that is true abuot the Dove I purchased.The guitars are made in China but they are inspected by skilled quality control technicians in the U.S.. I know this because mine had an epiphone stamp on the back of the headstock that stated that and provided the control technicians name.

Value:
Not only is it worth the price but I cannot believe the price is so cheap. This is a n excellent mid level to professional guitar for less than $300.00. Wow, try it you will want it.

Desirability:
This prduct is cosmetically beautiful. The Dove pickguard, the red stain over very nice maple back and sides, the solid spruce top and pear inlaid bridge. This guitar has a high end look. I would say for the price this is definitely a 10

Sound:
This is a lovely guitar. I have played the big boy Gibson and though it is not quite up to the $4,000 Gibson, it has a rich beautifull tone. I have owned the Epiphone Dove for four years and its sound has opened up and you can't believe this guitar is so inexpensive. I did have a vintage bone nut and saddle installed and the action set to my desire not long after I purchased it. This was a personal choice and not necessary.

Ease of Use:
The guitar was very playable at purchase but aas guitarist go, I had it professional set up to suite my taste. The guitar plays very well and is easy to fret.

Support:
Epiphone uses the Gibson support section. I have called the Gibson support section once concerning another Epiphone product I own and they were very professional and courteous. The issue was quickly resolved.

Overall:
I confess, I am a guitar junkie and this is not my first guitar but I absolutetly love to play the Dove. Every time I pick up and play my more expensive guitar, I think of the very fine sound of the Epi Dove. I will keep the Dove for many years. Not only will I keep the guitar I will play it often for many years to come.
