Feature:
It came with the locking strap parts they fit, but I have not used them yet, the cable it came with is junk, but I didn't buy a cord I bought a guitar.

Quality:
Mine was nearly perfect right out of the box. Great finish

Value:
If you are a player YES not for collectors

Desirability:
It is not practical as your only guitar, it makes a great addition mostly for lead.

Sound:
It needs a little tweaking of the action I raised it just a tiny bit and tweaked the harmonics a bit. Now it is a 9.

Ease of Use:
There is SO MUCH neck, you need to position your fingers a bit to get crisp sound on the upper frets, really just back to the basice play real close to the fret.

Support:
I have 2 epiphones never had to use support

Overall:
I usually keep my guitars forever, I'll keep this one too. Don't plan on taking this out right away play it for awhile, after about 2 hours of playing I was just begining to feel comfortable, but I was well aware of this before purchasing.

Feature:
The included Gold straplocks are a nice touch, allen wrench and a cable. There was a handwritten inspection card which is nice, at least they actually look to make sure it wasn't a total mess out of the factory.

Quality:
Its really a beautiful piece of wood, really well made and the flame top is even more detailed in person than it looks in the pictures. The colors are really bright, and I thought the gold hardware made it look a little too glam rock, but it really doesn't. Nice solid built guitar with the sex appeal to match. Epiphone's Custom shop is the most underrated guitar maker.

Value:
It's a great example of how you don't have to pay $1,600 for a great guitar. Kudos to epiphone for keeping the price as low as it is. I used to have an SG special from Gibson that was nowhere near the guitar this one is. Might as well buy 2 or 3 for the same price as one Gibson.

Desirability:
Been looking forward to this guitar since the NAMM show and they finally came in after 7 months and I am not dissapointed at all.

Sound:
The dirty fingers are nice and hot, lots of chug to the low end and a nice clear high end. Each note really cuts through the distortion even with weird chords that can get muddy on cheaper pickups

Ease of Use:
tune-o-matics are as easy as they get. Pretty well setup out of the box which surprised me.

Support:
All the warranty info comes with it, limited lifetime replacement.

Overall:
I'm hoping they'll stop making this guitar soon so mine will become a collectors. Gonna hang on to this one for quite some time.
