Subject:excellent
Quality: I have always and will always love Epiphone (I've owned at elast one for the last twelve years or so). For the price they are unbeatable.
Features: The onboard tuner works. The preamp is plenty adequate. But it's acoustic so there isn't much going on.
Sound: Acoustically it sounds amazing. When playing with an acoustic guitarist you may want to use a pick if you're a fingerpicker like me. Plugged in to my 1x12 combo I don't really enjoy the sound, it seems a bit "muddy" but when plugged into my head and cabinet it sounds like a beast with great thundering lows.
Playability and Feel: It plays amazingly well. For my hands the neck is more than fast enough. People with smaller hands or those used to a very fast, thin neck may feel differently but the neck is thinner than my Thunderbird's though not as thin as my ESP B series. I will warn you that this is a large instrument, think a thicker auditorium guitar.
Tone: unplugged: Rich and full, good highs and lows. plugged in: to a single speaker muddy, to a multi speaker enclosure rumbling, rumbling, rumbling and smooth like butter
Finish: Very nice finish, I think it suits the instrument nicely.
Action: The action was nice but there were a couple frets loose. After running it to the guitar shop (a good practice with every new instrument I believe) it was up and playing like a dream.

Mike Lewis from Beaumont, Tx.
Subject:Huge Sound
Quality: Gibson quality at a better price. Very nice fret work on a super smooth neck. The finish is top notch.
Features: Built in tuner works great. Tunning is solid with great machine heads.
Sound: Huge and bold. With a nice growl about it. The sub freq. is like having a 18" speaker built into the instrument. I run it through my Ampeg head and 810 cab. And it just blows people down. The high end cuts through the mix as well. Comes very close to a upright bass sound.
Playability and Feel: Not for a small person because the thing is huge in itself. It feels very balanced when using a strap and standing up.
Tone: I put huge strings on it and tune it to BEAD. And it still works and sounds perfect. Very very very little fret noise. I was amazed the bridge needed no adjustment to intonation after that setup to a B-bass.
Finish: Very nice.
Action: Low but not to low as that would make it buzz. Right on the money for me.
