Beautiful. Fun. Sounds Great
5 Stars
Beautiful. Fun. Sounds Great
This is a keeper.As a beginner, I wanted a decent guitar that stays in tune and is interesting to play. This is it.I originally bought an all inclusive package guitar from Amazon but everything about it was crap! Returned it. Bought this and could not be happier. It's beautiful, It sounds great, it stays in tune, it is very comfortable, and it's light! I love the feel.I also bought a Boss Katana Mini and it sounds awesome. This rig will last me for a year or two until I can justify something new, and most likely I'll end up upgrading this because I absolutely love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good build quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2021
I think this is a perfectly fine and reasonable guitar for beginners. I had a borrowed electric guitar and decided it was time to get my own, I ordered it on a whim and some of the reviews pointing out flaws i.e sharp fret board, bridge adjustment, tuning pegs and even cheap strings really made me reconsider whether I'd bought the right guitar. Then when it came I was pleasantly surprised, no manufacturer flaws, nothing wrong with the strings, feels good quality and well made. Sound quality is fine and it feels good value for money.

I don't know how true this is but I was told Epiphones don't feel cheap compared to their higher priced 'Gibson' cousins in the same way that a squire feels like a cheap Fender. And by that I mean that Epiphone guitars are surprisingly good quality for the price. For the first electric guitar I've paid money for I'm really pleased and happy with the build quality, I would argue that set up options are a persona prefer and shouldn't be used as cons in a review out of the box. The tuning pegs hold their tuning fine. Don't be put off by some of the (in my opinion) overly critical reviews of these guitars.
