Really. My Bro-in-Law musician said years ago Epiphone was a good brand, so I am glad I stepped-up a few bucks from the next brand down. This is a fine instrument, very full sound, (mahogany) beautifully made (overseas) with quality materials. I searched for a flaw, but could find none. POINT: All guitars need 'setup'; bridge/nut height, tighten/loosed neck truss rod,perhaps file a fret, replace low grade strings and etc. This like most cheaper guitars, it has plastic nut and saddle which are usually easily replaced w/bone. Note that you should measure the saddle first, as the "acoustic"  bone replacements did not fit (too short) I have since ordered a "classic" or 'folk" sized saddle which with some modification can work.  The machine keys are rather good also, as are the strings it came with.
