Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After owning a few budget ES-175-style guitars (such as the Ibanez Artcore series), I was skeptical that Epi's new offering could bring the ES-175 playability and tone at this price point. I bought one yesterday after playing a few in a showroom - this guitar ROCKS, and beats the price of imitators. I don't know how they can offer this guitar at this price.
I do suggest you go into a showroom and ask to play several of them; the wood pattern & quality of the top and back varied widely from guitar to guitar. I played a few acoustically until I gravitated towards one that had a sweeter midrange than the others, and overall sounded more "open" and "woody" than others, some of which sounded rather dull.
If you are interested in an ES-175 style guitar, now there's no reason to buy an imitation. At this quality, I'd imagine that someone who owns a vintage Gibson ES175 (which may cost more than many people's cars) and doesn't want to take it to gigs would be happy to use this axe as a more than worthy bullpen guitar.
