Epiphone PR-150 Guitar Center-Exclusive Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst

I bought this same model when I was 13, and it's been an awesome guitar for more than 20 years. Like any cheap guitar, you hope to get lucky like I did and end up with a "good" one — inevitably some will be duds or have defects, and all will need a good professional setup. My Epi has been an absolute tank, with the finish handling all sorts of drops and abuse over the years, including trips across the world. The neck has always been very playable, and it stays in tune remarkably well. Probably hard to believe, but I own lots of fancy acoustics now and I'd head-to-head this sounds and plays almost as good as my D28 and J45 that are 20 times more expensive. Just be prepared to return it if you do get a dud (and definitely have it set up). Perfect guitar for a beginner.

Overall, it's a pretty solid guitar, but the drawback is that it requires constant tuningg and the bridge got destroyed by itself after four years. Overall, it's a decent guitar for practicing.

What an Amazing Guitar. It's my second Epiphone. It plays as good if not better than my more expensive Epiphone. I'm So impressed!

Easy to play... awesome tone... excellent finish !!

I love the guitar. Right out of the box it played and sounded great. Good setup. Beautiful guitar.

I bought this guitar for my daughter's guitar class. I played all of the budget priced guitars, sub $250. It came down to a Yamaha F335 or the Epiphone. This was the easiest to play in the cowboy chord region, intonation was spot on, and so I had to convince the employee to let me buy the floor model. These guitars can vary wildly in the quality of setup out of the box. He relented and I left with the Epiphone. I got it home and started playing it and found a few dead notes around the 14th fret. D'oh! I spent 30 minutes sanding down a high fret and now she plays great all over the board. This is a great guitar for campfires and will take a guitarist a long way. Perfect for a classroom full of rambunctious kids. Or sitting nearby in the living room for working out a chord progression for a composition. Expect to need some setup and if you're not comfortable with doing it yourself take the store up on their offer of a setup.
