I have been delighted with Epiphone guitars. I hate a high action so I have spent hours messing about with truss rods and lowering bridges. I have a Yamaha CJ12 and an APX500 but the best sound is from the cheapest Yamaha I bought an F310 which is my favourite accoustic.The Epiphone Dot guitar I have is white with two humbuckers and makes a very jazzy sound. My family cannot understand why I have so many but they each have a unique sound.
