Feature:
It came with everything BUT a whammy bar. Personally i like this guitar with out the whammy anyways though because sometimes the whammy gets in the way or cramps the style of the guitar.

Quality:
No problems with anything falling off or breaking yet lol. I think this guitar is one of the best made epiphones out there and the wood that they used for it is just beautiful. ( i got natural color) This guitar is very durable but the only downside is that when you turn around, you're very liable to bump something with the huge explorer wingy thingy lol. Definatly tourable. you could easily take this on tour with you.

Value:
very good value. price is great for whAT you get.

Desirability:
very sexy.... hehe the girls would be all over you with this baby. Of course because it is an explorer, it will rock out loud.

Sound:
Ok... definatly like the best sound i've heard and guitar play, or atleast any guitar i have. My main guitar that i used before this is a fender stratocaster. Sure the strat sounds beautiful but this guitar is soring high right when you play the first time. It works well with distortion and w/o. The difference between this and my strat is that my strat has single coil pick-ups and my explorer has humbuckers. Humbuckers are just 2 single coil pick-ups put together basically, hence the name; hum Bucker.

Ease of Use:
WAYYYYY easier then most guitars i know of. It may be just as good as my strat. I tried this out in a store and i fell in love. I tried almost every single guitar in the freaking store and hell.. this is the easiest. (hint hint, buy it its good.) =)

Support:
Haven't delt with this yet.

Overall:
i expect to get a les paul in a year and if it would be any better than this i would tell you. I plan to keep this baby for ever and ever. My whole family is impressed with the guitar. =)

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
There's volume and tone knobs, a pickup selector and strings, no real exiting features.

Quality:
its the best quility guitar I've owed, I've had it for about 2 months and the gold is already wearing away on the bridge pickup were I rest my hand though.

Value:
Its worth every penny

Sound:
The pickups are good and it sounds great I just wish that when you switch pickups it didn't sound like you switched guitars.

Ease of Use:
the necks fast and its stock with a nice action level
