High quality for 300 bucks. I can't see anyone getting a guitar of better quality for this price.

Solid out of the box, so I have no reason to believe it will change.

Your general opinion of this product.
I wanted a small acoustic to play and not worry about dinging up. Something I could take out on the deck, in the garage, and take to an outside jam instead of risking my high price Martins and Nationals. Well I like this little monster so much, I plan on getting a nice case for her. This guitar is a real surprise for the money.

Great feel, the neck is very comfortable.
Tone

Very snappy, chords are crisp.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish is amazing, I tried to find a bad spot, and I couldn't. Did I just get lucky? or is the EPI quality control really checking these guitars?
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Action is just what you would expect from a production line guitar. Not high and not low, but action is a matter of taste, so if you want it lower, take it to a good luthier and have it tweaked.
