Disappointed poor quality control, first guitar received had a split on the 20th fret, the exchange come slightly better, but with chips and lacquer missing around the sound hole. Good sound but the quality of finish let's it down, and has put us off buying Epiphone again. From a Person who has previously regularly purchased epiphone product's.

A lovely guitar, I tried it out in the shop along with a load of others and found it had the nicest sound with a balanced full range.
