"good for the price!"
Feature:
not alot here. but for that price you shouldent expect alot. it only has one volume control and one bass control. i found that the volume control does turn it up or down but it also kills distortion. i never even use the bass knob. i dont want or need more base so i dont use it. i just keep it at full which is none or little bass.
Quality:
it comes all assembled so no problem there but the worst part has to be the jack port. i dont thing this is a road guitar at all. this is meant to learn guitar on it but nothing more. to me ive had this guitar for 9 months and its held up well. i am allready looking at another guitar to replace this one. after 9 months of playing about an hour a day there are minor fretwear issues in the appearance but this so far hasnt effected the sound or playability. i think this guitar should last no more than 2 years. if you still have it by then its time to move on to something else.
Value:
yes for what you get it is definatly worth it.
Desirability:
its not the best looking guitar ive seen but for this price its a guitar not a chick magnet.
Sound:
the sound is great for what i play. i do alot of low distortion high volume playing so its great for me. i do have some trouble with the low e string. it is allways much more gainy than the other strings even when i turn the gain as low as it can go on my marshal.
Ease of Use:
it is very easy to use it comes fully set up but out of tune. one thing i always run into is the nut to hold the jack in. if you accidentally bump it or streach the chord it might come loose or fall off. you can ussually twist it back in if the jack port hasnt fallen inside the guitar. if this happens you must unscrew the back plate off and put it back on.
Support:
i have never had to deal with the manufactuer. i have never had repairs services or upgrades.
Overall:
i have had this guitar for 9 months and it has done me good but its time is closing down. i am curently looking at a new true gibson sg. a price jump from $169 to $2309.

"Everything you could ask for in a guitar... especially the price"
Feature:
When I got this guitar, everything was perfectly set up. I was able to plug it right in and play, and I was really happy with that. The action was set to perfection. One thing I did notice though, is that the screws in the bridge tend to rattle when you're playing. Mine was especially true for the B and high-E strings. But you really can't hear that through the amp so it's easy to work past. All I can say is I wish this had a whammy bar, but that's just personal preference.
Quality:
This guitar is extrememly reliable and besides the aformentioned looseness of those bridge screws, you can totally depend on it to keep going and going through the years.
Value:
You simply can't beat this price. I actually got mine cheaper than its price now. It's truly a price that can't be beat for this quality.
Desirability:
Everything about this guitar's appearance is beautiful. It really makes me feel confident when I'm playing in front of people, because I look down at this incredible piece of equipment I have in my hands, and think to myself, "Yeah, that's right, that's MY guitar."
Sound:
No matter where I plug this guitar in it sounds amazing. The clean tones are crisp and well-defined, and when you throw distortion into the mix, it's raw and crunchy. I play a lot of hard rock and metal (mostly Metallica), and this guitar really helps me achieve the kind of sound i'm looking for. I really couldn't ask for a better sounding guitar. And at the price, it's just incredible.
Ease of Use:
This guitar is so easy to use. Every time I pick it up I'm able to create new and exciting sequences. The harmonics are incredible, and actually quite easy to achieve. You can really do some cool stuff with this guitar.
Support:
Well, I've never needed support, but knowing Epiphone, it's probably good.
Overall:
I'm already in the search for a new guitar, but this one will always be held dear to me. I'll never get rid of this guitar, even if everything gets rundown and broken...which isn't likely.
