I'll definately play this guitar for a very long time. It does what I intended it for.

Sound

This guitar was great to play right out of the box. It has a full tone and was setup just the way I like it. The PR5E sounds great plugged in too. It's electronics sound amazingly crystal clear and can cut through when other instruments are playing. The fit and finish were excellent except for one spot where the neck joins the body. It looks like whomever sprayed the neck didn't get all the way to the body but other than that it is all in all an excellent instrument.

Features

I do have to give low scores for the end peg jack combo. I had to cut a larger slot in a strap because the peg is too large to accept a regular sized strap hole. This was a minor thing.

Ease of Use

The different sounds you can get with the PR5E are exceptional and the tuner is spot on.

Quality

Like I said before, except for the missing finish on the neck where it joins the body it is perfect and a great looking guitar for the price.

Value

Dollar for dollar you won't find a nicer playing and sounding instrument. It kind of reminds me of the Martin Aura series with the 000 body style.

Manufacturer Support

I haven't had to deal with support yet so I can't say how they are. I can however say they have been exceptional in the past as I have 4 Epiphone guitars.

The Wow Factor

It's beautiful and the 2 piece back really sets the instrument apart from others in this price range.
