Sound:
Well the neck pickup sucks, it's noisy and there is really no point of selling it with this guitar. The Bridge pickup however is pretty decent. I think this guitar was basically designed around the bridge pickup anyhow. It's a hot pickup to the point where you can still strum and hear the notes clearly. This pickup isn't as hot as I usually like them to be but am going to keep it in place for the time being. I have played this guitar through 2 different types of digital amps and 2 types of tube amps. It definitely has it's sweet spots with each.
Feature:
This guitar has many features including a push/pull for single coil sound, which again is only worth using on the bridge pickup. There is also a kill button which I always wanted just for fun and it is that, but noisy. It's kind of a cheap button, but does the job. This guitar also came with Epiphone strap locks which broke within 5 minutes of installing. I replaced with a Dunlop Straplok set.
Ease of Use:
I was scared of the neck, because Epiphone's are notorious for having over sized necks and this one is perfect. It has a good 'D' shape to it and even my friend who has smaller hands than I was happy with it as well. He also owns an Epiphone which he hates due to the neck, so that should say something.
Quality:
It's a nice guitar, a little over priced if you ask me. I think it's worth every penny of $500 but $700 is a little much. I got the black version which is cool because the inlays are reflective chrome/mirror style and the neck is an interesting material. I have an issue with the devil inlay on the neck which is you can see glue spots. It takes away from the look, but I am anal I guess. The paint is a flat black and the guitar is really light. It's a little off balance but if you play 'V' style guitars you know what I mean.
Value:
It's not worth the money but if you spend $300 it would be kick ass. I plan on replacing the Grover tuners with Sperzel's and the pickups eventually.
The Wow Factor:
It's a cool looking guitar and comfortable to play.
Overall:
I like this guitar a lot, even if you don't get that from reading the rest of my review. I am being honest and no guitar is perfect unless you pay an arm and a leg for it. So when you purchase a less expensive guitar you have to figure in some things you wish were better.
