"Slightly disappointed."

Feature:
I have to admit that this guitar has a beautiful look. I purchased the sunburst style and aesthetically speaking, it's near perfection.

Quality:
Again, from an aesthetic standpoint it's near perfection. The material is good and, although I question Epiphone's choice of low paid Chinese workmen, the craftsmanship seems to be good.

Value:
As with all musical instruments, any site that had this product had it for the same price. No great value here one way or the other.

Sound:
A friend of mine owned an Epiphone years ago and the sound was excellent. I guess I anticipated this one being the same. On the high end the sound is tinny, the strings rattle - there is no way to adjust the bridge height. I am bringing it to a shop to see if they can help. I bought a set of Martin strings but this did little to imporve the sound.

Support:
They put up with my complaints about slow delivery due to backorder problems and compt me free case (albeit a cheap one made of cardboard). Don't know how they will respond after I bring the guitar in for a tune-up.

Overall:
If it sounded better out of the box I would have given it an 8 or 9. If the tune-up works then I would reduce the 6 down to a 3 as I don't feel that I should have to lay out additional cash in order to get an instrument to sound good. My wife bought me a Washburn accoustic electric several years ago and I wasn't pleased with it then but now, after playing what I assumed would be a better guitar in this Epiphone, the Washburne feels and sounds three to four times better.

"GREAT GUITAR !"

Feature:
really good features, what more could you want from an acoustic guitar?

Quality:
well the strap knob could have been metal at the base the battery socket could have been made alot better the guitar stays in tune for long, good, very good ! this guitar is tough, it fell twice,SMACK against the floor and still looks and performs perfect ! overall the guitar is sexy tough and smart

Value:
this product is worth far more than the price, you'll get more than your money's worth

Desirability:
this guitar attracts chicks from afar !!!! the neck is sleek and sexy and the curves are very appealing

Sound:
nice clear crisp sound better than most acoustics, good for background and rhythm

Support:
never needed repairs or had any problems and i had thsi guitar for over 2 years now and i use it everyday

Overall:
i will never get tired of this guitar, even though i will buy others and have others, this is my favourite.
