It is pretty good.

I ordered this guitar and got it in five days. I've played it quite a bit since then, and I love the sound. The only thing is that the plastic parts on the body are not very high quality, with little chips or malformation here or there. And the guitar has tiny dings in the paint on the back, not sure if it's shipping damage or not. But other than those things, I love the guitar, and the way it sounds. I have been playing for five years, but only started getting serious recently, and love the way it sounds compared to my old guitar, a Johnson. It has four dials which allow you to change the guitar's sound completely, and back in the flick of a switch. I also love the design and the easy system it has to change the strings. I recommend this guitar for anyone who is starting to get serious or starting to get good, as it has a great sound. Probably a good second guitar.

Great Guitar for a short period of time (keep your money)

This guitar is amazing the first six months. I bought this guitar in November of 2014. One employer from the guitar center persuaded me to purchase the guitar, telling me things such as the brand Epiphone(especially this guitar) was better than Ibanez guitar that I was looking for. By the end, I bought the guitar, and I liked so much, until the day when the guitar needs a setup. I paid almost 300$ including the taxes, but when I come back to the guitar center to set up my guitar one year later, the luthier from the store told me that my guitar had twisted the neck. To repair all the imperfections of my guitar could cost me around 250$ dollar almost the same prices as new. When I asked the luthier why the neck was twisted, he answers me back telling me that only happened with junk guitar from small prices. In few words is a piece of junk that cost almost 300 dollars, but the only good thing is the design of a real Les paul. My recommendation is to wait litle more time to save 200 dollars more and expend the money in other guitar. For example an Ibanez or a Fender Standard made in Mexico have better quality and sound than this guitar.

    Good tone, It feels good to play. It buzzes like crazy on the 6th and 5th string in standard tuning.

  • Solid guitar

    I am just an old man who likes to play melodies, an blues. I have arthritis in hands, this guitar is easy on my hands, although when i can afford it i will get action lowered. I chose ebony, cool color.

  • buy it, and youll have a lot of fun

    okay, first guitar, pretty good. clean, blues, and suprisingly, can carry some really nice jazz tones. im not sure if it can really handle some metal tones the best, but otherwise great guitar. i even think slash would have fun with this.

  • Like finding a 1971 Jamaican studio-classic dub machine!

    This thing is sooooooooo cool! I compared it to the higher priced RV500 (solid lots of reverb options) but no dice. This was it! Sounds dirty (think King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry etc.) Spaced out and freaky. Luscious reverb and deeeeeep delay-do it- you will not be sorry.

  • Great beginner guitar

    Bought it a year, got it not knowing what a fret means and how to hold a pick, I now play the entire "comfortably numb" song on it. I like it

    What kind of machine heads does it use? I'm thinking of upgrading to locking tuners.
