Once you take the guitar out the box, is the sound good?

Yes, the sound is similar to a Fender Stratocaster. For the price, it is a great guitar.

It has a great sound and stratocaster tone. It will benefit from a setup and upgraded pups and wiring but is a fine guitar as is.

Yep, it sure is. I got this as a gift for my son in law who wanted to use it with a video game to learn to play the guitar. He didn't want to commit to an expensive guitar in case he couldn't play. It was really nice I thought for a beginner guitar.

I've had no problems with anything it came with. When tuned right it sounds great!

It's okay but it sounds boxey. It sounds better thru a PA or an acoustic amp as there are more highs and lows. Taylor make a really great version of this type of guitar but at triple the price. I'm still foolin' around with it but I feel it has great potential.

The guitar resonate well and easy to handle and its light, after the strings is streach, the sound is good and its for plucking and not strumming, I mean for classical not strumming.

Quite well once the strings stretch ... this is the best low cost instrument I've ever played, and I've been playing guitar over 40 years...hope this helps.

It comes ready to play. All I had to do was tune it. As an owner of 5 guitars this guitar in my opinion is as good as or better than my considerably more expensive Yamaha.

I'm very happy with the guitar. It has a very full sound and with it being a 12 string, the sound diminishes slower than a regular 6 string as the strings start to wear down, which makes for less times re-stringing the instrument. It is fairly light weight. I can play it standing up for long periods of time with no problem.

good beginner guitar! i would change the strings the originals aren't that great... the strings are higher off the fret board than most of my other guitars but it isn't too noticeable while playing

It is not a top of the line bass but it doesn't sound bad. I plug it into a peavy 800 watt amp and it sounds good Really great for beginners and intermediate players.

Yes, but setups can be a personal taste as well. Mine was fine, the intonation was fair to good but the action was a little higher than I prefer so I did some adjustments to make mine feel the way I like it. Other's may like theirs the way it's delivered fine, but almost every Epiphone gets setup before shipping...now whether it was done by a monkey or a luthier is the real question

Of course it does. It's already strung, but it may need tuned at first. I still play mine until this day and it still sounds great.

It's pretty darned good and the sound is also good for a guitar of this price.

My acoustic sounds great through the box. You can add chorus, delay, reverb, phlanger, etc..., and there's even a 12-string setting.

That's difficult to answer. IMO this guitar's greatest strengths are the pickups but the acoustic sound, construction and playablility are still well above average. Best thing is to go to your local dealer to demo it and then decide. See my review dated January 10, 2014.

I bought this guitar for my daughter..not bad for an entry level guitar. I would buy the bundle...you'll need pics and a tuner

Not perfect, but very close. I loosened the truss rod about a quarter turn, lowered the bridge a couple turns, and made a tiny adjustment on the bridge to intonate it. If you know how to do that, you can have it playing perfectly in 5 minutes. If not, watch enough youtube videos to figure it, save the $50 a guitar shop would charge you for 5 minutes of work, and it will be just fantastic.
