<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_surprised.gif" border=0 alt="Surprised"> You will not be unhappy with your Epiphone choice.
The ones who complain are usually the ones who fiddle about with thier guitars and stuff them up.
If you ever have a problem with a good guitar then take it to a good Luthier not the pimmply faced little prick up the road who thinks he knows just because he thinks.
There are so many accomplished "big name" artists that use Epiphone guitars that I reckon the record speaks for itself and no I do not have any affiliation with Epiphone. I just love music and good guitars even though I confess to having an Epiphone Seraton.
Stay Happy and stay with the music.
Bill.
