Sound: This guitar was great to play right out of the box. It has a full tone and was setup just the way I like it. The PR5E sounds great plugged in too. It's electronics sound amazingly crystal clear and can cut through when other instruments are playing. The fit and finish were excellent except for one spot where the neck joins the body. It looks like whomever sprayed the neck didn't get all the way to the body but other than that it is all in all an excellent instrument. Feature: I do have to give low scores for the end peg jack combo. I had to cut a larger slot in a strap because the peg is too large to accept a regular sized strap hole. This was a minor thing. Ease of Use: The different sounds you can get with the PR5E are exceptional and the tuner is spot on. Quality: Like I said before, except for the missing finish on the neck where it joins the body it is perfect and a great looking guitar for the price. Value: Dollar for dollar you won't find a nicer playing and sounding instrument. It kind of reminds me of the Martin Aura series with the 000 body style. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to deal with support yet so I can't say how they are. I can however say they have been exceptional in the past as I have 4 Epiphone guitars. The Wow Factor: It's beautiful and the 2 piece back really sets the instrument apart from others in this price range. Overall: I'll definately play this guitar for a very long time. It does what I intended it for.

Sound: nice clear crisp sound better than most acoustics, good for background and rhythm Feature: really good features, what more could you want from an acoustic guitar? Quality: well the strap knob could have been metal at the base the battery socket could have been made alot better the guitar stays in tune for long, good, very good ! this guitar is tough, it fell twice,SMACK against the floor and still looks and performs perfect ! overall the guitar is sexy tough and smart Value: this product is worth far more than the price, you'll get more than your money's worth Manufacturer Support: never needed repairs or had any problems and i had thsi guitar for over 2 years now and i use it everyday The Wow Factor: this guitar attracts chicks from afar !!!! the neck is sleek and sexy and the curves are very appealing Overall: i will never get tired of this guitar, even though i will buy others and have others, this is my favourite.

Back to Product Information
Sound: A friend of mine owned an Epiphone years ago and the sound was excellent. I guess I anticipated this one being the same. On the high end the sound is tinny, the strings rattle - there is no way to adjust the bridge height. I am bringing it to a shop to see if they can help. I bought a set of Martin strings but this did little to imporve the sound. Feature: I have to admit that this guitar has a beautiful look. I purchased the sunburst style and aesthetically speaking, it's near perfection. Quality: Again, from an aesthetic standpoint it's near perfection. The material is good and, although I question Epiphone's choice of low paid Chinese workmen, the craftsmanship seems to be good. Value: As with all musical instruments, any site that had this product had it for the same price. No great value here one way or the other. Manufacturer Support: They put up with my complaints about slow delivery due to backorder problems and compt me free case (albeit a cheap one made of cardboard). Don't know how they will respond after I bring the guitar in for a tune-up. Overall: If it sounded better out of the box I would have given it an 8 or 9. If the tune-up works then I would reduce the 6 down to a 3 as I don't feel that I should have to lay out additional cash in order to get an instrument to sound good. My wife bought me a Washburn accoustic electric several years ago and I wasn't pleased with it then but now, after playing what I assumed would be a better guitar in this Epiphone, the Washburne feels and sounds three to four times better.

Sound: Sounds thin, virtually no bass, despite different strings. Feature: The preamp stopped working less than a month after buying the guitar. Had been used twice. Ease of Use: The circuit remains active as long as the battery is in the slot. Very annoying. Quality: The fact that things went wrong with very light use tells me that it is very poorly made. Value: As far as it goes, you get what you pay for. If you cheap out on a guitar, especialy one with components such as this, the guitar will cheap out on you. Manufacturer Support: Contacted Gibson/Epiphone to resolve the issue, was told to take it to a licenced dealer with the reciept, and it would be covered. I was then told by the dealer that i had to pay up front and Gibson/Epiphone would reimburse me. The Wow Factor: Im not going to lie, the guitar looks beutiful with the shape and the sunburst. Overall: My advice to you, is to buy a regular acoustic, and if you can help it, stay away from Epiphone, then install a pickup seperately.

Quality: This Guitar is one of the best Guitars I've ever had! I owened one other just a little better, and it was a Gibson, wide body, that had a super sound, I still Love this one, and will play it a long time. Elvis. Value: More! I would have paid much more, here, in the local music markets, so I'm very pleased in my purchase, and intend to buy another Guitar from zZounds shortly, I want a Big body sound that is offered with Epiphone, It's a cutaway also just jumbo bodied.

Sound: This guitar plays well and has good tone.My only complaint is that the bridge isn't grounded so there is a buzzing noise when playing through an amp which I find to be very annoying.Guitar should ground out when you touch the strings.I wouldn't recommend this if you want to hook up to an amp or studio board.
