Strat-style guitar with S/S/H pickups from China. Volume, tone, 5-way selector, chrome hardware, tune-o-matic bridge. Nice profile of the body, blue color transparent finish. Looks like expensive guitar for the first sight.
Sound

Well, the sound is...cheap. Original electronics is useless. I have bought it as my backup guitar, I just needed something to put EMG-81 inside and use it at home. But after I have customized electronics, set-up action and so, it was my favourite guitar for 1,5 year. Alder body is better most epiphones I have heard and if you get some better pickups, it plays a lot better.

Here is your homework, pal. Everything you can move with needs adjusting. Small finish flaw near volume control.
Reliability/Durability

Here is the problem. Reinforcement has broke out the neck after 1 year due to bad quality of the neck wood. I has changed whole neck and made another custom adaptation. I will keep it, no one would buy it for some reasonable price.

Maybe my piece is cursed, maybe all are the same, dont know... If it were stolen, I still would have enough guitars. I would never buy anything from this company again. But my friend has nice Les Paul from Apollo and he loves it.
