Epiphone Pro-1 Ultra Solid Top Acoustic/Electric Guitar System for Beginners, Gloss Wine Red

I have wanted to by this guitar for a long time and i finally got it. I can now say that the product is as good is I expected it to be. The guitar has great sound and really beautiful look, is has a good color and shine throughout the body and neck plus the head of the guitar has a nice look too. The only bad but not so bad feature is the electric tuner, when I tried it was a little flat but it doesn't really matter if you've got a good ear or a good tuner. I really feel that the product is totally worth buying.

Low quality product, came to a week and it was already a problem, the easel detached from the guitar in a strange way, the product was stored in a case when it made a noise, I went to check what happened and saw that it was broken.

Please read the bad review about this guitar issue, its true. The guitar looks pretty cool and all but when I try to play it the E & B strings sound awful.****UPDATE****I did have my guitar fixed in a guitar shop, issue was with the nut (seems something had hit it in the way) and the rod adjustment but was cheap to repair (15dlls), considering what I paid for it it was nothing, really.Im a begginer and Im still learning about guitars and such but this beauty is really easy to play and sounds wonderful, Im very pleased with this purchase.

I wish the company had added the fretboard radius figure in the add like they do their other guitars, I would have preferd a rounder fretboard for cording.

Got this from an online music store on a terrific discount.The Good:- Out of the box intonation was good. Setup was pretty solid. Needed tuning.- The guitar is pretty easy to play. The action was set well and to my liking and the jumbo frets do help make it a little easier to fret the strings. The shorter scale is nice and gives little more "slack" to the strings making them easier to work and the included strings were thin and easy to play.- The looks are pretty good for what it is -- a cheap guitar. I like a traditional Epiphone logo (script lettering on the headstock) but it's reasonably appealing looking. The color is nice, the wood grain is visible and there were no finish problems.- Quality control on the neck and body seemed good.- Amp system, electronics work well. It sounds good amped up.- Solid top and resonance from the body of the guitar is good. It has a bright sound, but is pretty well balanced. Great sustain.- Got mine on sale... more than $100 off the regular price and for that it's a great value.The bad:- The tuning keys are OK, but are not locking and they're not terribly responsive. They look good with the synthetic-pearl keys, but they're mediocre performers. They're a 5 at best. I believe this is the reason I find myself tuning up more than I'd like to.- The thin strings have a flat sound to them. I'll change out to larger ones when it's time. I am not going heavy with strings, but I'll probably upgrade to at least 11-52s.- The onboard electronic tuner is horrible. It works well, but it's horrible to try to read. It's totally based on tiny, tiny text and LED lights. I find myself using a clip on instead.- Neck strap button is on the heel of the neck sticking into me. It's not at an angle, or pointed down toward the floor, but it's pointed straight back into my beer gut. Plus this makes your strap do a half-turn somewhere. The body strap button on the bottom is extra large to accommodate the sound jack, but I have other guitars that do this same trick, but the buttons are close to normal sized. This button on the bottom of the body required me to hack on my strap to get it to fit. Now the strap is no good on any other guitar. Hate that. HATE it.- The neck shape, size and finish are not to my liking. Shape: I prefer a C shape to a D shape. This one's an "EZ Profile" D shape. I call BS on that. You can give it a catchy name if you like, but it still is an uncomfortable neck to me. The size is slightly larger than I'd like and the lacquered finish on the back makes it sticky. Not a fan.The ugly:The corner of the pickguard was peeling up out of the box... at the point of the pickguard closest to where the neck nears the sound hole.Verdict:There's a lot of marketing hype around this guitar. Realistically, it's a fairly easy to play guitar that would benefit from better tuners that's pretty good for beginners. I'd replace the saddle, the nut and the tuners if I wanted to set it up right. And if I keep mine, I will certainly sand off the finish on the back of the neck and re-do the surface of it. I may relocate the neck heel strap button, too. But the frets work well and are finished well, as is the fingerboard. And it sounds pretty good for a cheap guitar probably due in no small part to the solid top. Four stars may be a little generous, but if you can get it cheap, it's worth owning.
