Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It's at least as well made as any other Epiphone. Always try before you buy, because the quality often varies from guitar to guitar, and be prepared to do some minor work on it to get it gig ready. Reliability How has it stood up over time? The guitar is brand new. It is well constructed and should last a long time with standard care. Overall Your general opinion of this product. It's a great little guitar for the price. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This is an extremely light guitar, very well balanced. I would've liked a totally flat fingerboard, but the radius is very slight, and the guitar is easy to play. The single volume control is right up close to the strings, maybe too close, but I like using my little finger, instead of having to reach way down like on a standard LP, and maybe grabbing the wrong knob... Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I will not need to replace the pickups as I have in the past with cheap Epi's. These humbuckers are strong, clear, beefy, with great mids. I know of no style of music that this guitar can not reproduce. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Mine is a satin black, not gloss, which seems to allow the notes to resonate very well. There is no pickguard, and I noticed that with regular playing, my fingers anchored on the body while picking seem to cause a small, barely noticeable glossy spot at the point of contact that I can't seem to oil out. This does not affect anything else, but it can be seen, closeup. Action How was the action out of the box? Here is where I had problems. There were a couple of buzzing frets, and some minor intonation problems, so I had a guitar tech do a setup, which fixed most of them.
