Wow! What a great response.

You don't have to actually say "I agree to the contest rules" in your post.

It is kind of implied :)

I really appreciate all the other feedback.

I wish I had time to do some audio recordings of this, or even a video, but there are 3 different "site improvement" projects going on right now, all of which I am involved in, so I just didn't have time.

I echo what some of you have said "I used to be an anti-Epiphone snob." I was very skeptical about these guitars and was surprised by how much I liked the Ultra II.

Some have mentioned this is an LP-biased review. I expect all the reviews are going to be biased positive. First, because we pre-selected the gear, so we know it is at least pretty good. Second, because it wouldn't be any fun to say "this piece of gear is useless, and now on to the contest to see who can win this useless piece of gear!"

I am really gratified to see all the response. This project is great fun. Good luck to everybody.
