zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
i had to install a second strap lock around the bout. It only has 1 tone knob

Quality:
Even though it is made in the orient. This is a fine crafted guitar.

Value:
This is a guitar that is well worth the money. Its great for everyone that has weekly gigs and performances. Its also recomendable for recording.

Desirability:
This guitar is beautifully crafted. I examined every inch of the guitar and everything about it makes me wanna play it.

Sound:
i have to give it to epiphone. for 400$ the sound is just beautiful.

Support:
Gibson/Epiphone customer service company dont kno squat about this guitar. i had to go thru the dealers and luthiers to do some modifications.

Overall:
Overall i give it a 7.5. its a good guitar for its price range. You cant really compare this to a 3 grand taylor but you can compare to almost any other mid priced guitar.

I really like this guitar. Strung it with 9's like my electric, used a DOD EQ pedal to EQ and boost the signal and I Love it. Excellent if you want an electric/acoustic guitar without the feedback (even with distortion). Think the pickup and onboard EQ could be better but still a great deal as is.

what i don't like:
you have to unscrew the cover to the cavity (back of guitar) where the battery is to change it. they should put a pop up compartment on it.
no second strap button. i installed one myself
though.

what i do like:
this guitar is great for a guy like me
who likes the whole solid body electric meets
acoustic vibe. i can get the sound i want
with the simple onboard controls. simple
is better for me, and i wanted something
durable too. this guitar is built tough.
also less than $400. great!

When I received the guitar I installed a better set of strings. I play it through our P.A. I think the guitar sounds too thin, I couldn't get the full sound I felt it should produce. I wanted an acoustic I could play at loud volumns without feedback and this guitar does that. It's still worth the money.

Overall:
A lot of people think that this is the guitar Dave Matthews plays, but it's not. Dave plays the GIBSON Chet SST, and really he hardly plays it anymore. Dave is now playing mostly Taylor acoustic guitars (his main one is a Taylor 714). I own the Gibson Chet and love it. It sounds fantastic for recording. I do reccomend that you string it with 11's, that is what it was made for, when I've used other gauge strings it is unbelievable how hard it is to keep in tune, but with 11's it is ALWAYS in tune. The Epiphone version is cool and for the price you would be hard press to find a more satisfying guitar!!
