I am very very happy with this guitar. It is not a perfect instrument, but for the price, you can't really get a better semi hollow, and with the 339 body, its almost impossible to find a sub $500 model. Was really happy with the specs that Epiphone has upgraded to, the grover tuners and graphtech nut really help sell the package, (i hate switching out sub-par parts). The paint job on the F holes was a little lacking but I was able to touch up with a paint marker and the plywood top was sanded a little to much in some places, revealing the ply, but I really can't complain. the stock pickups sound great and while setting the instrument up, I was very impressed at how solidly put together it is and how well it plays. Great fret work, usually the frets are lacking on a guitar in this price range. It would be great to see a deluxe model for the 339 with some more cosmetic upgrades and pickups but this instrument is a steal, get it now!

A lot hear for the money. A fret polish with 400 thru 2000 grit erasers make for much smother bends. Raise the tail piece, install some Ernie Ball super slinky’s, set intonation, adjust the bridge/truss rod to minimize buzz and the guitar plays great. Is has hot pickups and you get a good range of control from the electronics. The sound is like a Les Paul with more shimmer and sustain. Other than the paint on the inside edges of the f holes, the fit and finish is excellent. Again a lot here for the money. I have top of the line Les Pauls and Tele’s. This guitar will be invite to some gigs!

Longtime user / fan of Epiphone - original->Korean/Japanese->only Korea (Samick)->China, who uses C&C technology so it’s good within 1,000’s of a MM so what’s it matter anymore- but this new (5 models only?) Inspired by Gibson line is wow. Just wow. Had the Gibson 339 before- seriously hard to tell the difference. I suspect the price will soon reflect the amazing quality so buy it! Seriously - play it or keep it for an investment but buy it - while you can- and buy it from zZounds because you know it’s gonna be right.
