Sound

Superb! The sound was superb. Better than other more expensive guitars. The solid rosewood gave it a very nice warmth tone. Very full rich and good projection. I didn't originally plan on buying in that price range, but it blew me away. Both the sound and features. plus it came with Epiphone hardcase. Every night I pick it up now I still can't believe how good it sound. Not to mention the price. Since I bought it, I've tried some lower end Martins that cost more than this guitar, but doesnt even sound near as nice.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
9
Excellent craftmanship here, very nice finish. some people may not like the satin finish but I prefer that over gloss. very nice fretboard and easy to play. low action, tuners hold tone for ages, no buzz at all. Not sure where its made but expecting its Korean made. I've heard this is the predecessor of the new Masterbuilt series which is Epiphone's top of range accoustics. Gave it 9 because I'd like to have binding at headstock and it doesnt have a strap button at the neck. But otherwise it is flawless.

Excellent sound, quality, feature, price and craftmanship. This is definitely the guitar to get. From beginner to pro. I dont think I'll ever get another guitar. Better than many big brand guitars that are much more expensive. Try it and the sound will tell you.
