Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Extremely well made for the price range, I mean it's not a Les Paul but a good clone of one. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just got it so I can't attest to it's durability but it's a Epiphone so I'm assuming it was made with quality in mind. General Your general opinion of this product. Overall I think this quite a package, especially if you are just starting out or like myself getting back into it after putting it down many years ago. It has everything you need to get going. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Well one thing you can expect with a Gibson style Guitar, it's a little heavier and the neck a little wider but I already knew that going in. It is great to play, good action, controls are simple (there are only 2), feels great and feels sturdier. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Has a mellow and soft tone, you can overcome that though with a little tweeking on the amp if you're into the grungier or snappier sound. I personally prefer the Darker, mellower sound. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Not even a smudge on the finish, I was worried because the shipping box took a beating but it was well packed. Not so much as a ding anywhere on the merchandise. Action How was the action out of the box? Well after some tuning, it was ready to go out of the box. Maybe I'd suggest changing the strings out before too long but out of the package it's ready to go.
