| 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. |

| 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. |
