I have had this guitar since spring 2004. After about 3 years and a lot of playing, I replaced the tuners, which made the whole instrument seem better (I should have replaced those way sooner). I then replaced the pickguard, and then installed a pickup. I have had great results with this guitar. After all these years, the tone has really warmed up, and strung with light guage strings, this baby plays/sounds like a dream! And the body actually has good x-bracing, kerfing and real binding, which seem to be rare for a guitar in this price range. I have played tons of gigs with it and it really behaves like a $500 guitar! Great for beginners who want a decent guitar that they can upgrade over time, as their playing ability increases!

Bought this guitar in Sept.09.Was a little cautious because of the price. After changing the strings to extra lights I was very pleased with the action and sound. The only thing that I can see that could be changed is putting Grover machine heads on it. Good product for the money.

I purchased this guitar just to have something to mess with on my lunch break at work or to take on vacation. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the guitar actually played. For the low price you get a nice guitar that has low action and sounds good. I did change the strings to D'Addario extra light. I would suggest to change the strings to your preference when you get the guitar. Overall I am pleased with the quality and value of the guitar. This is definitely a good value on a second or starter guitar. I believe I am now an Epiphone fan.

Very nice guitar for its price (I got it on sale). It sounds great, has a pretty good action (no buzz ANYWHERE, not too hard to play), beautiful finish, and a nice solid/sturdy feel - I definitely wouldn't be ashamed to play it in public.

Needed tuning out of the box of course, but it didn't really matter much because I didn't keep the stock strings on long at all - I replaced them with D'Addario EJ16 strings and it sounds great. The tuning pegs aren't the greatest quality ever, but they're not the worst either, and they should hold a tune.

I'm not a professional by any measure, but for the money this appears to be a very high quality guitar. The top isn't solid, but it still looks/sounds great. There are no visible glue beads, or any sign of poor manufacture in general. The nut is perfect, though the saddle could probably stand to be a *tiny* bit lower, but it's not hard to play.

When I ordered this guitar it was on the Stupid Deal of the Day. For the price I payed for it I thought it was going to be a piece of junk, but I was shocked when I opened it, tuned it up, then played it. For the price the quality is unmatchable.
