"I love it !"
Ease of Use
Small nut. Very large hands wont fit well. But normal sized hands have no problems.I lowered the saddel and nut and it plays like my 62 gibson melody maker neck. And thats superb!
Quality
Going over the workmanship I found no flaws at all.None. It is a real beauty.That will stand next to any axe in any price range. The sound is not as large as some guitars with large boxes but a set of Martin strings made a large clean sound.If your hands arnt big you will love this Eppi 00
Manufacturer Support
No need but has a life time warranty.The case they make is also superb.
The Wow Factor
It is like a 15 year old girlfriend you cant keep your hands off her.

Glad I bought it...would replace with another if anything happened to this one.
Sound
A three hundred dollar guitar that sounds as good/better than some costing 3 times as much! Very impressed!!!!
Features
Not a lot of features to talk about, it's a simple acoustic that is well worth twice what you'll pay for it.
Ease of Use
Smooooooth!!!

"Great value with no regrets."

I really love this guitar. If it broke, I would probably replace it with another el-00. I mostly play metal but bought this guitar so I could practice my chords and scales in the living room without bugging the wife and kids too much. Now I am finding myself interested in Travis picking and slowhand. This guitar has inspired me to expand my musical knowledge so I definitely recommend it.
Sound
Sounds great if oyu like the classic acoustic blues sound. It's not real loud because it's a small body guitar, but I love the way it sounds.
Features
Solid top ensures that the sound will improve with age but there really aren't any features or accessories. It's just a guitar.
Ease of Use
It's easy to use if you can play, not so easy if you can't. I like the small body size, it makes it easy to pick up and play any time.
Quality
The finish is great. It's a nice looking guitar. On close inspection, you can tell it was made in China. The bracing inside was not sanded and the excess glue was not wiped down very well. Overall, it looks great though and seems to be solid. For a $300 guitar it's more than I expected.
Value
In my opinion, the best $300 Gibson Bluesmaster knockoff available.
Manufacturer Support
The best because I haven't had to deal with them. The guitar is holding together pretty well.
The Wow Factor
The mainn reason I chose this guitar is because I couldn't afford the Gibson version. They are nearly identical and sound about the same. It's not the "sexiest" guitar out there, but its small body might make you look bigger, which could make chicks dig you more.
