"QUITE LOOKING AND BUY IT ALREADY!!"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I plan on keeping this guitar for many, many years. If something happens to it I will definitely get another one with no hesitation. It seems to be constructed very solid and with proper care shouldn't ever have any structural problems.
Sound
I am using this with an Ibanez MIMX amplifier and it sounds awesome. The Dirty Fingers pickups are VERY clean and can also give an excellent 80's hair band sound when needed.
Features
I usually prefer 4 pots but the push-pull works very well. The factory strings suck.
Ease of Use
This guitar has the essential onboard adjustments that are placed out of the way when playing but easily accessible when needed.
Quality
I had to return the first one I bought due to horrible fret buzzing. The second one had fret buzzing so I took it to a local guitar tech and for $100 he got it set up perfect. I am surprised about that since Epiphone usually set their guitars up better than that.
Value
I would give this a 10 if I didn't have to spend another $100 to get it playable but Zzounds price for this guitar was very competitive. As far as comparing this to other guitar's in this range, there is no comparison, I tried about 40 different guitars under $1000 and this one fit me by far the best.
Manufacturer Support
Zzounds was awesome with the return, I don't have any experience with Epiphone support.
The Wow Factor
This thing is absolutely gorgeous in real life, all pictures I have seen don't do it justice.

"Epiphone Kostum"
I will be satisfied with this guitar for a very long time.
Sound
Sounds fantastic with regular slinky strings and the Gibson dirty finger pickups.
Features
Came with strap locks that work good, just wish it came with a case or gig bag too.
Ease of Use
The jumbo frets work great with my short fat fingers. I truly didn't think it would make a difference, but it does.
Quality
Beautiful red finish and the gold hardware looks fantastic with the color. The only thing that looks cheap and feels cheap are the volume and tone knobs, other than it's a solid guitar that it should last a long time.
Value
Well worth the price!
Manufacturer Support
No need for support from the manufacturer so far, but zzounds has the best support for their products out there.
The Wow Factor
Got it and loving it!

"Nice guitar"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This, my most recent purchase in a new guitar, was not disappointing. This is a well made instrument and sounds great. The action is decent right out of the box. As you can tell just from looking at it, it has all the good looks one would want. If you purchased this guitar you would not be disappointed.R.D. 65, been playing 52 years.
Musical Background:
Playing professionally since 13 and rapidly approaching 66, mostly for enjoyment now
Musical Style:
Play guitar, bass & keyboards, mostly "OLD" blues and R n R, pop, classical, jazz and very little country.
