Sound
:
9
I play country and older rock or folk music. Guitar has a Full bright sound. The bass has really opened up the last few years. I like the way this guitar sounds. I have thought about selling or trading it at times; however, after playing some of the high dollar acoustics at the local music stores I have realized how good this guitar sounds. Especaily compared to the price of a Martain, Gibson or Guild.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
8
I had the action lower about 10 years ago. It needs a new saddle install because it has chipped away at some of the strings. The finish is still beautiful and after 16 years the spruce top has that aged look. Really nice.
Reliability/Durability

Still going after 16yrs.
Customer Support

I contacted Gibson about the specs, and they sent me a promo sheet from 1989 which had the same specs as the 91 model.
Overall Rating
:
9
I have been playing about 25 years. I have had a lot of guitars through the years. Right now I have a (86) Washburn Tour 24 Tele and a Washburn D10SDL acoustic. I have a Squier 51, a Tele copy (which I play most of the time) and a Strat copy with a Tex Mex bridge pickup (Smokin). I the Epiphone was stolen or lost I doubt I could find one to replace it with. If you can find one of these I would recommend the purchase.
