Feature:
I like the volume and tone knob setup, with a master volume and master tone for each neck. I wish they were a little more accessible. The toggle switches are well located and the guitar is very easy to operate. I purposely got the model that DOES NOT have the bolt-on necks.

Quality:
I was impressed with the workmanship. The metal parts are not top quality, but they are much more than adequate and I've had no trouble with tuning machines, switches, pickups, etc.

Value:
This is definitely worth the cost. I tried the Gibsons and they aren't THAT much better to warrant the immense difference in price.

Desirability:
It is very practical for me as I use a 12-string several times a night and sometimes I don't want to slow down the show so I can pick up a different guitar. I got a white one - - very nice looking.

Sound:
Well, it doesn't sound like a Rickenbacker 12-string, but the sound did pleasantly surprise me. I was also pretty happy with the 6-string sound. The pickups are strong and somewhat quiet, but they are not top quality.

Ease of Use:
Basically, there are some nice advantages here, so I'll dwell on the negative. The first is the poor access to the high frets. Anything above the 15th fret is out of reach. The toggle switch that allows the player to have both guitars on at the same time isn't very practical - too much sympathetic vibration. It's heavy and doesn't set very well on the shoulder. I put a 2nd strap button behind the lower (6-string) neck and that made it more comfortable, but the strap prevented me from going past the 13th fret. Ya win some, ya lose some.

Support:
I haven't needed support, so I guess that makes it a 10.

Overall:
I am satisfied with it and will keep it. It definitely fills a need. I don't think I'll ever have it as my only guitar on stage, I have much better, and better-sounding guitars.

Feature:
The 12 or 6 string option.

Quality:
The quality is great despite it not being a true Gibson.

Value:
A little pricy, but for a rare guitar it is definately worth it.

Desirability:
I got the guitar after I saw my friend playing guitar with his character(Axel Steel)playing the guitar. Now only if they had a chick in a bikini playing it. I will always wonder.

Sound:
The sound of this Guitar is excellent especially because you can use the top neck with its 12 strings or the bottom 6 strings for different sounding.

Ease of Use:
If you can play a regular guitar it pretty much self explanatory.

Support:
I have never had any problems with the guitar with the exception of my roommate always breaking all my guitars(he hates Metal(freak!)).

Overall:
If you want to be like Jimmy Paige or James Hetfield or who ever you worship and plays this guitar pull out your wallet, see how much you have and use whatever spare money you can scavage to buy this sick guitar.

Feature:
As good components as any higher-end model. Pickups were very responsive,low noise on the 12 side,which was nice.

Quality:
Seemed to be made quite well,but again,it was a "loaner"!!

Value:
Very affordable,especially when you consider all you get for the money--Nicely made!!

Desirability:
As soon as I can afford one of my own,it WILL be the next guitar I get!!! A definite necessity for my style of music.

Sound:
I am in a progressive rock band,and usually have to switch between a 12-string acoustic on a stand,and my electric. Once,I was fortunate enough to be able to use a friend's Epiphone double neck (except it was white)-An outstanding instrument,both in sound and playability!!Perfect for the type of music I play.HOPEFULLY,someday,I'll be able to afford my own!!!

Ease of Use:
Heavy,yet very comfortable to play (A Les Paul is my main electric,so weight is not an issue for me.)

Overall:
Whenever I select an instrument,it generally becomes a permanent part of my lineup.This would be INDISPENSIBLE!!!

Feature:
3, Three-way switches (when the gibson only has 2{which, in my experience, are the wrong way round}

Quality:
only thing better.. a Gibson

Value:
10/10!!!

Desirability:
attracts more attention than any of my other guitars

Sound:
Listen to stairway to heaven live.....

Ease of Use:
Its hard if you don't have long arms, and it can get a bit heavy

Support:

Feature:
the extra selector switch that the gibson model doesnt have is really great for switching necks in the middle of a song if you want to use a different pickup, like if you wanna use a treble pickup for a chordy song but then use a rhythm pickup for a tasty solo.

Quality:
the guitar is great. the finish is perfect, and, with the purchase of straplocks, you'll never worry about it getting broken

Value:
yeah, this guitar is great value.

Desirability:
haha if you have a jimmy page thing like i do, this guitar will make you drool

Sound:
the sound on the 12 string neck is clear and jangly - perfect for that vintage page-like tone. the 6-string is excellent for great sweeping solos and punchy rock n roll riffs. its really awsome for ovedriven tones.

Ease of Use:
to be honest, the one drawback of this gutiar is its heaviness. if you started on a les paul, it shouldnt be too bad, but if you play an sg or strat, this guitar will really hurt your shoulder/back if played for more than 15 mins. but once you get used to it, it just seems like a normal weight. in terms of playability. each fret is easily reached on both necks, and if you use ernie ball super slinkies, the strings are pliable as anything thanks to the greater distance between the stopbar and the bridge.

Support:
well, ive never really had to repair the guitar, but im sure epiphone provide a great support.

Overall:
the only thing you could want after this is the real gibson version.

Feature:
guitar features ok but needs 12 string tuning guide , also the case is cardboard, says epiphone(a.k.a cheap axe) and i practicaly have to jump up and down on guitar to smash it in cutout didn,t fit , too small, dont buy this case !!!!

Quality:
good except their is a line down the middle of body of guitar where the grain of wood is mismatched close up it ruins overall good qaulity, bet a gibson wouldnt have that problem, tuners are sloppy and need constant attention,junk pickups, junk tuners heavy strings

Value:
if you dont mind spending a lot of money (pickups)and time resetting all plus strings and can put up with grain mismatch this is still a dead sexy axe that attracts more attention than any guitar in my collection still cheaper than gibson but not as good of quality your choice

Desirability:
despite it failings it is the poor mans i want it bad got to have it axe it is dead sexy with time and good parts plus set up it is still cheaper than gibson and might be good

Sound:
action way to high ridiculous,hard to play 6 strings are heavy gauge, pickups the worst need replacement no power or tone . replace pickups a must gibsons, burstbucker or seymore duncans whats the purpose of them saying guitar is set up with such high action everything must be reset fix these things it might have great sound

Support:
havent used

Overall:
with really good pickups tuners and strings and completely resetting all action settings i might really like it
