"Best epiphone I've ever had"

This thing is incredible. You can get some incredible versatile tones out of this thing. The guitar is a bit heavy but I prefer the weight. It's evenly balanced which is nice. The olive darb finish is terrific! I remember Gibson making a Memphis ES similar to this for 7 times the cost. This thing definitely gives any Gibson USA guitar a run for its money. I guess the only criticism is the case. I wish it was the tanish brown hardshell epiphone case. Two of my favorite bands I try to emulate are Thrice and Soundgarden and this instrument knocks it out of the park when matching their sound.Give zZounds your money now!
