Overall: I've owned Gibsons but this is my first Epiphone. I love this guitar so far. The sound is great. I'm trying the new D'Addario EFT strings on it and I like the sound I'm getting. Best part is I play an acoustic through my Fender 212 Frontman and it sounds pretty good.

Overall: good all around guitar. This one is a keeper...it is under 400 bucks but sounds better plugged in than a Martin I played due to the technology used by Shadow electronics that is a German company. This one can be hooked to two amps or channels on a mixer and then blended....amazing clear sounds come thru......The fact also that it just sound good just playing it not plugged. It is not a Martin or a Gibson but sounds louds and has good voice and the grovers hold it in tune. The top is A SOLID SPRUCE TOP...check out Epi's web site .....they delineate all specs....heck just check ZZ's specs on it.....this has the traditional Gibson look and it sounds like they care about how this guitar sounds. It is one of the flagships of the the EPI acoustic line so the finish etc and materials, Grover tuners ...gold plated .....are part of the vibe this guitar generates.....get it I did after going for a martin ae solid body made in mexico ....I came out of the store with this.....It needs a case ...suggest you get one ....you will want to baby this one.

Sound: Exellent sounding. Good Jumbo Sound. Nice highs and lows, plugged in and unplugged. Good gigging guitar. May need slight neck adjustment to lower action and lighter gauge strings from factory set for a perfect playing instrument. I use it with a Fender Frontman Amp. I get a nice clean quality sound, a good blend of highs and lows. Great guitar for any stlye of music except heavy metal of course. Nice pickup, but needs to be unplugged after use so you don't burn up the batteries. Feature: It came with a cheap chord. For over $400.00 they could have spared a soft case. I bought a 160.00 guitar that came with one. Ease of Use: Needs Neck adjustment from the factory to lower the action. It needs a lighter gauge string from the factory. Quality: Cosmetically a beautiful instrument. Big Wow factor for other musicians. Gold hardware and a pearl inlay very impressive. I own the sunburst model, classic looks. It is built solid, hoping to get years of use out of it. Built in digital tuner is pretty cool. It has all the bells and whistles. Value: It's well worth the price, but they could sell it a tad cheaper. After all it is a Gibson copy,mine was made in Indoneasia. Manufacturer Support: I just put a ten because they claim the guitar comes with a lifetime guarantee. Hopefully I won't need it. The Wow Factor: The sunburst has a beautiful classic finish. Big Wow factor! Overall: As long as this guitar holds up for me, I don't need a replacement for gigging or just playing around the house. I've owned classic Gibsons and Fenders and this compares to them easily. I would buy another one if this one was ever to break. The action and strings were the only points off from the factory, and for the price not even a soft case included. That being said,it still is an awesome electric acoustic that I would highly recommend.

Sound: This guitar sounds soo amazing! it's so deep, and the higher notes sound nice and bright. makes everyone jealous! i only gave it a nine cause i heard a gibson sounds better(but i also heard not by much) Feature: the cable it came with is kinda short, and thin. wouldn't use it. it came with a strap nut in the neck, thanx!! a strap included would've been nice, but who does that, anyway? Ease of Use: pick her up, and play! she feels great:) Quality: pretty great quality, i tell you! mine came with a cap or somethin missin from a tuner, so i can see the gear in it. also, i had to get the neck setup because the action was TERRIBLE. one more thing, get some thicker strings with it, medium at lightest, because the factory strings are too light(for me, anyway, i love open C) Value: i'm sure the only reason why i couldn't sell it for $2,000 is the brand name. she's amazin! Manufacturer Support: i called zzounds and they were great! they told me to get the neck setup, and even if it still wasn't up to par i could ship it back and they'd still replace it The Wow Factor: oh my god, soo BEAUTIFUL!! everyone i've shown her to says she's really nice, i'm sure other guitarists were jealous;) a friend of mine wasn't a fan of the floral design of the pick guard, but i'm a sucker! Overall: she's great. i plan to keep her for a very long while, and replace her with a twin if ever i had to(i hope i don't!)if i ever get the money, i'll try a gibson and compare them, but i head this epiphone is worth the price compared to a gibson

Overall: I bought this guitar online from zzounds after doing a TON of research about it. After reading the various forums and retail reviews, and checking out YouTube reviews, I knew I wanted one in natural...and with a solid top, not "Select Spruce", which is Epihone-speak for laminate. I called Epiphone and they told me when they switched from laminate to solid tops, then I called zzounds and they told me that they only had the newer, solid top guitars in stock...and that even if I SHOULD get a N.O.S. with laminate, I could simply return it and get another one anyway! I placed my order on a Saturday and the guitar and case arrived on Tuesday! The guitar played like a dream right out of the box...factory strings and all! I was blown away! I simply tuned it up (using the on-board tuner) and I was playing my jumbo! What a sweet, full, rich sound! Then I plugged it into my amp and started putting the eSonic2 to work...and the sound was just awesome! (I have a Guild D-5 with a Fishman set-up and it doesn't sound as good as this Epi!) Lots of tonal possibilities with the eSonic2. Ahhhh...but the REAL test would be live, onstage the next night! I took it to the club and the band, as well as the audience, was blown-away by the guitar. The non-musician audience members LOVED the look of the guitar, and the more music-minded loved the sound, the projection and the articulation of the jumbo! In my show, I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp (clean channel) and switch between my Fender Strat and my acoustic. With the EJ-200ce, I don't even have to change the settings on my amp...I simply dial up the soind and volume I want from the guitar...making life a LOT easier onstage! The only problem I had was with the hardshell case. The latches just didn't seem to line up quite right without "muscle"...and I called zzounds and they immediately gave me a Return Authorization...they paid shipping and a few days later I had a new case in perfect condition! Overall, I could not be happier! In fact, for the price of this guitar and case, I had lowered expectations. But I am telling you, as a working, professional musician, this is perhaps one of the biggest bang-for-the-buck values in acoustic-electric guitars...and zzounds ROCKS! (And, just as an FYI note, if you use a rubber "feedback-blocker" type of device in the soundhole, you will have to trim it a litlle to fit, due to the NanoMag pickup at the end of the fingerboard. Took me five minutes.)

Overall: I purchased this new (but with a little blemish). The guitar looked nice for the price and I had some experience with the same model but from a few years back. Unfortunately, the pre-amp of this particular guitar was eating batteries like crazy. After replacing two sets of CR2032s which last a grand total of 2 1/2 hrs. (and at a cost of $16) I had no choice but to send it back. This is the second Epiphone that I buy in the past six months. It's also the second Epiphone that I send back (the other one was a Les Paul standard). I will not purchase another Epiphone made in China ever. Their quality control leaves a lot to be desired.

Sound: Great sound for a $400 guitar. I really expected less and was hopeful for pretty decent for a knockaround acoustic. This thing really sounds pretty damn decent. Blows me away everytime I pick her up and plug her in or by itself. Gorgeous booming lows and crisp highs. The electronics are very nice. good stuff. I'm still shaking my head that it only costs $400... wow. They don't make cheap guitars like they used to! The only reason I don't give it 10 is that surely the $2K acoustics have to sound better... don't they? Feature: Again, very nicely equipped for $400. Ease of Use: If you can play guitar, you'll love it. Quality: Only a 9 because I would hope the more expensive would be a little better... Taylors sure are nice, but do they sound THAT much better? Not so sure. Value: OK, a 10. Honestly... for this price, it's a steal. Manufacturer Support: Nada use for it. Warranty registration was pretty easy online. The Wow Factor: Very nice curvy little creature. It only gets a 9 because I wanted the sunburst, but they were out of stock so I got the Ebony Princess. Overall: Just got it so the longevity is yet to be determined. If you mean, "Will I look for something better?" Nah, if it holds up to my banging around, I may get another one when the sunburst comes in stock. :) Really, it's that good. I was very surprised and grateful.
