Good guitar, but

It's a good guitar for the money. Was more of a spontaneous buy... Did not check it well before I left the shop so I bought a cheaper version of the guitar I actually wanted.

My first guitar!

The sound is amazing. I'm new to guitars so i'm no expert but I can make some awesome tunes on my Epiphone.

Great jumbo body sound.

This guitar is very deep and resonant. It works well with other acoustic guitars.
