Sound
Sounds great and I set it up for playing slide guitar on Blues songs. Mine has a wide neck so make sure you play yours for a while to make sure you like it before you buy it. It sounds good over all but is not my main guitar as it is very heavy like a Les Paul.
Features
I really like the mini humbuckers and being able to control the sound out of each one of them.
Ease of Use
It takes a while to figure out how to get the sound you want so keep working at it until you get your sound set. Mine did not come with a manual so it took a whlie how to set my souind. It is very playable and produces a lot of different sounds.
Quality
This guitar is very well made. I bought mine used but it is very reliable and can stand up to road use.
Value
Great price for a great guitar.
Manufacturer Support
No dealings with Epiphone directly.
The Wow Factor
