    I'm very impressed with the fit and finish on this guitar. I'm not fond of the laurel fretboards but this one looks better due to dark brown streaking instead of the uniform poopy brown color. The plan was to replace the P90s but they sound great. Very happy with this guitar!

    Great setup on the guitar and very resonant unplugged. The Joe Bonamassa collaboration with Epiphone is stellar. Overall the guitar is a 5 star rating and a joy to play. A great price point for what you get and you won't be disappointed.
