Feature:
What is there not to like about the looks on this thing. Its just beautiful. Excellent paint job and awesome one-of-a-kind inlays, Epiphone really did it right with this one.

Quality:
Its close to perfect, but its not a Gibson and the balance is slightly off. Still very good and I have no complaints.

Value:
The value is really what makes this guitar so great. You get the EMG 81/85 set, grover locking tuners, extra jumbo frets, and one sexy looking guitar. For what i paid for this guitar i could have bought something much worse and i'm very happy with this guitar and would recommend it to anyone, from beginner to experienced.

Desirability:
Its very eye-catching. It cought me and im glad it did. The beauty of it is that when you play it after gazing at it for awhile, it plays just as good as it looks.

Sound:
The sound is just perfect, for me anyway. I play lots of fast, heavy, low-end metal and this guitar by Epiphone is amazing for what I do.

Ease of Use:
Usually a Gibson/Epiphone product is a little bit tougher to play as fast as you would like to. With the Prophecy it almost feels like your scaling the neck on a ESP, which are known for their incredibly fast playabilty.

Support:
I haven't dealt with Gibson for any work. The only problem I had with the guitar when I bought it was when I went to put better strap locks on I was able to pull the screw right out without even turning a screw driver. Needless to say it upset me but I went back to Guitar Center where I purchased it and they fixed it right up.

Overall:
Overall this guitar is really amazing. If your a serious guitar player I can't see how you would disslike this product. This is the first guitar of mine that I really really enjoy everytime i pick it up, and find that its hard to put down. If you have a chance to play one you will see my point.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Value:
If I purchased an actual les paul from Gibson, it would eventually be operated on to the specs this one comes with from factory.

Desirability:
It has sex appeal from looking bad azz!

Sound:
I have played many les pauls by epiphone and gibson. I have owned several actual sg's and an explorer,strats,kramers,ibanez's. I am completely excited about this guitar. I have always liked the action and look of the les pauls by epiphone. Every one that I have played however, had some pickup surgery, which is really from the style of music we play. This guitar is what I have been waiting for. It has the look,feel,sound and accessories I want.
