  • Great guitar!

Beautiful guitar in every way! Looks, playability, and sound. I intend on buying a matching flying V.

  • Right out of the box
Color: Ebony
All I had to do was oil the neck, put new strings on it, and tune it. It is by far the best Epiphone "inspired by Gibson" made! There is no need to switch out the pickups, They're amazing! With the new electronics they put in these, You've got a "Rock God" guitar right out of the box!

  • Great guitar with unfortunate blemish
Color: Olive Drab Green
I played and recorded with this guitar for about 2 hours after pulling it from the package. It plays and sounds great. Setup seems fine out of the box minus the strings it comes with. Will be changing those immediately. The hardware seems like standard epiphany but the middle knob is a little loose and falls off with the slightest bump but I already planned to replace those. Tuners are fairly smooth for stock but I wouldn’t say they are great. Unfortunately, I immediately noticed some cosmetic damage on the tip of the horn as soon as I pulled it out of the packaging. There was not damage to the boxes and the guitar was sufficiently protected for shipping, so I assume this guitar was damaged when it was sent and should have been sold as player grade and not new/mint. I would say that if you get an unblemished/mint guitar, this is a good value and correctly priced. However, due to the blemish, I feel I did overpay for this slightly. ... show more

  • Beautiful guitar, plays like a dream
Color: Ebony
Craftsmanship is amazing! I loved everything about this guitar, but just being a beginner I play sitting, and it’s slightly awkward. If I were on stage it would be my main guitar.
