I'm a huge fan of Epiphone due to their pricing and what you get for that price. People will say, you get what you pay for. True, this is no 4000 euro guitar, but for me, it works. Playability is great. Sound is even and defined through all three switch settings. I'm playing through a Boss Katana 100 Mk2 212 and the possibilities with the guitar and amp combo leaves me much satisfied. My only complaint about the guitar was a binding issue on the top side of the first fret. I had to have it sanded down. It was poorly installed. It is smooth enough now and there is no appearance defect. No influence on the playability either. Overall, this is my go-to E-guitar. It's a heavy beast, but worth it for the sound. Highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a 335 at a great price.
