Epiphone Performer SE Venetian Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Hard Maple neck. Solid Sitka Spruce top.

The new Epiphone EEP6A Performer SE is a blast from the past with one eye on the future.

And, at present, you won't find an electro-acoustic at this price point with such a winning combination of looks, feel, sounds and comfort. Thanks to its pairing of Epiphone's revolutionary eSonic2 stereo preamp system and NanoFlex/NanoMag pickups, it hits the back wall with conviction and character, supplying an unbeatably natural acoustic tone.

Equipped with many of the same luxurious features as its sibling -- including a highly figured maple back and sides, Grover tuners, the eSonic2 preamp system and 2 low-impedance NanoFlex and NanoMag pickups -- the SE model stands apart with a hard Maple neck and a solid Sitka Spruce top. Throw in a comfortable body that projects like a dream, and you're facing one of the toughest choices of your life.

"Nice guitar if it is free of defects."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
Sound is OK for the body size. I haven't tried it amplified but no doubt that would improve the low end.
Features
Very nice looking guitar. The abalone was a big selling point for me as well as the built in tuner and the fact it is acoustic electric in case I ever wanted to plug it in.
Ease of Use
Nice setup from the factory, very low.
Quality
The quality was the low point for the one that I received. There was a chip on the bottom side of the sound hole towards the high E string side of the body and it was visible when holding the guitar. I sent it back to zzounds and they returned the same guitar to me so that didn't make me happy but when I complained they refunded 20 percent. After having it for 19 months I discovered the X bracing had a split. Epiphone replaced the guitar.
Value
Good value if you get one that is defect free.
Manufacturer Support
Great.
