Epiphone does it again!
Quality:
The wood on mine is CLEAR with BEAUTIFUL GRAINS throughout the top and body area with very TIGHT GRAINED CLEAR MAHOGANY wood for the neck. Nice rosewood fretboard! VERY SMOOTH! PERFECT WOOD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE GUITAR!
Sound:
This is a songwriter's tool and I will love it! The tone compliments the voice and makes me play better. It has a very sweet sound and plays every note with clarity and punch.
Reliability:
SO far it is all in one piece! And I am sure it will be that way in another 40 years. Take care of an Epiphone and it will outlast any Gibson any day! It stays in tune for weeks. Truly a players DREAM acoustic!
Overall:
This guitar is better than many other high end axes without question! It is SOLID feeling yet as light as air. I cannot believe the DETAILED LUTHIER work! It is truly a MASTERPIECE. The authentic sea shells are so small and perfectly straight. The fretwork is perfect!
Playability and Feel:
It is great as I have not touched it. I will lower it when I replace the strings. The V NECK is VERY SMOOTH and thick yet plays nice and smooth!
Tone:
Has a GREAT sound spectrum! It sounds like a HIGH END EXPENSIVE GUITAR! You can hear the quality of wood in the sound along with quality workmanship! Better sound than any 3000-5000 guitar! Epiphone has made one of the BEST SOUNDING acoustic guitars ever made!!
Finish:
It has a dull finish but that is how it is. Seems very thin coating of finish so the wood will breathe and vibrate more freely. I like it!
Action:
A little high but aren't they all. I have not touched it so it must be OK for me. I do wish it would be lower and I will lower it when I change strings. I bet there is a spacer under the bridge I can take out to lower?

This guitar is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Buy it now!!!!
Quality:
Overall the guitar looks perfect.
Reliability:
I don't know cause I have only had it a few hours but it seems very well made so with some care I am sure it will last for years.
Overall:
Awesome!!!! Amazing!!!!
Playability and Feel:
Took it out of the box, tuned it up, and can't put it down. The guitar feels amazing. Love the v neck. The tuners are Grovers and work perfect. Fret work and nut seem perfect.
Tone:
The tone of this guitar is awesome. I wanted a Martin but to be honest I could not afford one. At least not the one I would want, and I am sorry Martin but I am not spending 1000 bucks for a guitar that doesn't even have solid back and sides! Now, as far as I am concerned Martin can kiss it cause this freakin guitar SINGS!!!!!
Finish:
Finish looks amazing and perfect. I am generally not a fan of satin finishes but this finish looks great. I have never seen a satin finish that looks and feels so good. I also really like the color of the top. It looks aged.
Action:
Action was perfect for me right out of the box. Tuned it up and been playing every since. Action is pretty low but not too low. No buzzing anywhere.
