Epiphone
Description
The Epiphone Starling is perfect for beginners who want an affordable guitar to learn to play with. It’s available at a price point that makes it possible for everyone to afford a quality Epiphone instrument. The back and sides are layered mahogany while the top is layered spruce for durability and good tone. The mahogany neck has a comfortable C-shaped profile, and the Indian laurel fretboard features 20 medium-jumbo frets that make it easier to press the strings down with less effort. The 24.75" scale length results in slightly less string tension, and also reduces the distance the player’s fingers have to stretch to form chord shapes. The pickguard features a unique and distinctive Starling graphic.

    I bought this guitar as a cheaper alternative to my Hummingbird that I don't mind taking outside to the fire pit and passing around to my friends. It definitely suits its purpose. It has a great look, decent action, is fun to play, and overall is very solid for the price range. I was disappointed with the sound. It's definitely not a deep rich sound, but more metallic and twangy. Overall, fun to play and will definitely serve it's purpose, but I think you might be able to find something that sounds better.
