My First Choice as a New Guitarist

Product Review
I researched a lot of options for beginners, from online communities and talking to seasoned guitarist buddies, and landed on this baby! It feels and sounds like it cost more than what it's valued at - great playability and tone, even with the stock string and no setup by a guitar tech yet. I've enjoyed learning on this guitar and would highly recommend this Epiphone DR100 for anyone, beginner or advanced.

After losing all my gear. I decided to go with AMS and start my collection up first with this black Beauty only had it for a week and I am liking the way it sounds. Bending the strings and using a slide/ shot glass didn’t need to spend a lot of money,,, yet can’t wait until I can find my own style/ sound from it !! Get yourself one you won’t be disappointed!

I purchased this because I wanted something cheap to keep at my crash pad since I’m there more then home and I did not want to worry if it would get stolen or damaged. The bridge needed to be sanded down quite a bit the neck need a little adjustment and the fretboard oiled. So not very playable out of the box. But those were fairly minor problems and for the price I was comfortable with it.
Holds tune very well and not a bad looking guitar. If your pretty handy and just need a beater I would recommend it. Not bad for a beginner but will need some touching up.

The guitar came packaged nicely. I bought this guitar based on reviews. From multiple sites they were all positive.
The guitar sounds beautiful. The only complaint is the neck. It feels incredibly dry. I had to use lemon oil a few times just to get it right. Neck really sucks up the oils.

I'm 75 and have been playing the guitar for a lot of years. I've had several guitars including Epiphones that cost a lot more than this one. The sound that this guitar puts out is as nice as any others that I have or had. I thought I was getting a cheap kick around instrument that I wouldn't worry too much about. This is too nice not to take good care of.

Beautiful looking guitar that sounds like what you would expect a guitar at this price range to sound like, nice but a little boxy sounding, also the heel of the neck has a serious ding in the finish, I doubt it came from the factory like this,this place has to have better quality control and inspect every guitar before they ship it out to a customer.

I've played this guitar at acoustic circles for over 5 years. Shod it with a set of D'Addario strings and I'd consider the sound quality as good as any $500- $700 guitar I've heard at my music venues and my buddies agree. My local music shop was so impressed with my DR-100 that they started stocking it and says it is one of their best sellers now.

I purchased guitar because I wanted to learn to play especially with everything going on and being at home. I have been learning a lot and it helps to have a guitar that sounds good but also was in my price range. I had a quitar prior to this one and it just didn't sound good and it was actually a few more dollars than this one. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone who is learning and wanting to learn but not wanting to spend so much.

I ordered one of these new full price received it fast but had some dings and scratches on it head stock, bridge and back and sides of body. Defiantly not new they had me send pics so I did haven't heard back yet not sure if they intend to refund me or discount it. I ordered a GATOR TSA Dreadnought case with it and it's to big for the case so I wont be taking a guitar with me next week. Case is on the way back, funny they recommended the case when I called.I'm not real interested in keeping this now. Whole order was a bust.

Okay, here goes. I ordered this instrument kinda on a whim to see if it was a good guitar for a very low price. I own mostly $300 plus guitars that are of good quality. I did my research online to see what others thought and it looked like decent investment. The first instrument that I received was all out of whack. The e and a strings buzzed horribly on frets 1 thru 3. I was not impressed. I returned the instrument late Thursday and received the replacement on Sunday. It appears by virtue of the paper covering the fret board was missing and the tag that came on the headstock was placed in the bag with the other warranty info, that this guitar was thoroughly checked and tuned prior to leaving the warehouse. There was a unique green inspection tag on the outside of the guitar box proper as well. All strings were only 1/2 step out of tune and the neck was straight as well. The action was high but after some sanding on the saddle (about .030) it was very playable and had great intonation. A great guitar when the quality is spot on. Thanks AMS for making sure that the second one hit the target. If you get a good one it is very good for the price. Time will tell if the neck stays straight and the fretboard flat.

I'm a drummer. However, I've been strumming guitar since I was a kid. Sometimes the Slingerlands get a bit loud and I need a quieter way to relax. I wanted an acoustic that I could play at the campfire and not have to worry about banging it up. After reading the reviews on this guitar I figured what do I have to lose but $150. This DR 100 sounded too good to be true. It came packed very well and in excellent condition. Out of the box I had to tune it-that's it! Fit, finish and sound are incredible for a cheap MIC guitar. I generally buy American. But for a scrapper guitar, I had no problem buying foreign. I chose the Wine Red version. If you're debating buying this guitar, stop now! Put it in your cart and check out. You will not be disappointed!

I mainly play electric and wanted to get a decent acoustic to mess around with without having to make a serious investment. I saw this and was skeptical, but I will say now that this is exactly what I needed at the price. It's not the highest quality guitar but it is a solid build and seems to be made of decent components. Some adjustments may need to be made to suit your preferences and intonation, but otherwise... it's great.

The Esthetics was there, and the name was there, but the strings give way to much and I am not sure if they have locking keys, cause it seems to want to go out of tune quite easily.i'll Try some new strings and see how I feel then. Maybe its just those manufactured strings that are not up to satisfaction. Otherwise the machine head may be needing changing or just hang it on the wall for decoration.

Looks beautiful, plays wonderfully for a brand new accustic with a deep rich sound which will only get better. Those who proclaim "it doesn't stay in tune" don't have a clue that the guitar needs to get acclimated to it's new environment, and strings will stretch. You can't stretch them like on an electric because you would rip the bridge out. Fantastic quality for the price and I've received many compliments when I played gigs with it. Please don't write a negative review unless you have a thorough understanding of what it takes to season a guitar. I didn't even have to set it up, but that's a personal preference to how I like the action. Buy the Wine color with the gold hardware, it's an eye catcher!

I wasn't expecting the quality of this guitar to be so good. It arrived as promised and wow, was I surprised. I picked the DR100WR with the gold keys and Wine color. I ordered extra strings and really only changed the high e string. No big deal, No scratches or dents,perfect.Thanks AMS.P.S. 3Easy payments helped the pocketbook.

What can I say. If you’re on a budget and need/want and acoustic guitar I’d go with this one. Was more than what I expected! Nice tone and played beautifully right out of the box.

In tune and set up right out of the box! I bought the black finish model and it looks great with no blemishes. Very loud and bright. I can't put it down. The strap pegs are cool. I can't believe it cost less than $200. With the quality of build and the sounds it plays like it should have cost more.

I wanted an acoustic to use as a lying around guitar. One that I could leave sitting on the couch or against the wall so if I got inspired I could just grab and play. I had to do a bit of set up to it as the action was a bit high. The sound is great though. A decent guitar for the beginneran dwell worth the price.

The Epiphone DR100 that i received will need the bridge altered. The low E side is way too high. It could be that the bridge isn't firmly down in the slot, or it will need sanding or something. I haven't attempted to adjust it yet.
The DR 100 seems to have a nice sound which i will explore, unfortunately after I've made the necessary adjustments to the bridge. The low E string is so high off the neck, it's just not enjoyable to play the guitar in this state.

I am impressed with this guitar.
Wife bought it for me when they were $100.
The "curly flame" on its top, is truly a bargain in itself!
You have to know how to adjust the action, a process which I had to learn to do even
on my 1963 D-18 back when it was new. They ALL need it, out of the box!
Here's a tip - put Monel "Tony Martins" on it,
and tune it UP a half step once you get the action right or just a little to low;)
When you get it PERFECTLY in tune,
Listen to what happens - you won't believe it!
This set (at least, MY DR-) to use a kind of 'echo feedback' sustain
coming from the body. Listen for it when you tune -each string...
'Up a half step' may not be perfectly right for your guitar,
for instance, it may do that at concert pitch, or in between.
Once you find that spot, it will be LOUD - and you can do special tricks with harmonics.
This guitar was good enough, that perfect tuning made magic happen.
And remember, wood is wood.
That neck will change, and change, even if, as you should,
you keep the humidity under control (too much is not good either.)
Keep minutely cranking the truss rod judiciously,
watching the direction of the changes, as the action changes.
Do minor fret jobs as needed, and you just might get lucky
with an almost FREE "keeper!"
(Get a good fret file... and remember, ALL guitars change with age.)
These frets seem a little soft for my taste. I'm sure it will deserve a pro fret job some day,
IF I can find someone in WV as good as Peek-A-Moose in NYC.

Product Review
I bought one of these in Vintage Sunburst from here, over a week ago which was from a Dent and Scratch beginner package. I'm 56 years old and have been playing for 43 years and when it came in, I could not find any flaws at all. The only things that I did, were to lower the action, clean the fretboard with some Lemon oil, and then put on a new set of Elixirs. For a guitar in this price range , this is a heck of a great deal provided you take the time to set it up properly. In my opinion, the negative reviews which I do see, are from people who don't know anything about guitar care. This is one great sounding instrument with a beautiful look to it which, looks much more expensive than what it actually is. I have not put it down once since I got it. That's how much fun I'm having with it. And those who say you can't use this for live performance, I say Bollocks ! I've already used this at one gig with my band and it has more than held up with no problems at all.

I'm so excited about this acoustic guitar. This have helped me to write lyrics for songs I'm putting together and coming up with some melodies.
It feels perfectly fit whether I'm standing up or sitting down.
It looks bright and snappy. Just like the catalog.
The paint job looks amazing.
It was amazing. I feel like a kid being in the candy store.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED

this has the look of a much more expensive guitar. i am absolutely thrilled with the care and attention to detail that this guitar has gone through. from the workmanship, materials and labeling, this one is a great guitar for the price.
i've only had it a few weeks, but so far it has not disappointed. other than being out of tune on arrival, it has performed very well. no parts have fallen off, become loose or were installed incorrectly.
Your general opinion of this product.
this is my first guitar and i have no musical training at all. so my opinion of the instrument right now is based on what it looks like out of the shipping box. i was very surprised at how well put together it is. aesthetically it is beautiful.
this guitar is just the right size and weight. it felt right from the moment i started playing. tuning is a breeze. sliding up & down the neck is a breeze.
from my unprofessional ears, this one sounds great. honestly i didn't expect this rich of a sound from a guitar at this price point. i don't know bright from snappy or dark from smooth, so i won't even venture a guess. all i know is i'm thrilled with how full and vibrant it sounds.
very pleased with the look. out of the box, i looked for factory blemishes or markings. it was perfect. there is a pride of workmanship here.
very nice action. i still have to build up the callouses to work the far end of the board to its full potential, but i have had nearly none of that low end growl.

Its made unbelievably well for the price. Zero fret buzz, super smooth neck nice looking finish.

Your general opinion of this product.
I bought this "cheapo" to use as a campfire guitar. I was surprised to discover the quality of the instrument. The neck is amazingly smooth and the action is as low and even as my $1300 Les Paul Studio. (No joke) Stays in tune very well, even after an hour or two of play.
Finish looks great.
I'm not kidding when I say the action rivals my Les Paul. Easy to play

The quality is a good as most $500+ guitars.
My Epiphone DR100 is less than 1 month old, so I can't speak to the long-term reliability yet, but so far it's great!
Your general opinion of this product.
I am a new guitarist and during my search for a great ‘starter guitar’ I heard auditioned many guitars. Most were three times or more expensive than this unit but none of them sound less than $600 sounds as good! The fit, finish and sound of the Epiphone DR100 is unbelievable for the price point! Buy it today and enjoy.
The Epiphone is light in my hands but it does not feel cheap. The neck, controls and finish match the beautiful sound.
The tone sounds amazing! The sound is smooth, full and snappy, but not too bright.
The finish is flawless. I wonder how can Epiphone make a guitar this good at this price.
The action is fast and smooth.
