Feature:
built in mp3player/recorder first of its kind
Quality:
satin platinum…
Desirability:
looks cool to beginners but to those who have experience it sounds normal and looks ugly
Sound:
the sound is okay it sounds like a normal 300$ guitar when amplified other than that its not much of a guitar than to learn from it be recording yourself or playin along with music with the built in mp3/recorder
Ease of Use:
gets some time to fully know how to use the dockings and whatnot
Support:
no problems
Overall:
sounds okay but the mp3 player/recorder is pointless unless u wanna learn from it

Special Editions are just that: specially-designed guitars built for specific playing styles or designed with special features inspired by well-known artists, luthiers, dealers and collectors. These instruments are unique and often built with special woods and appointments that do not “fit” Martin’s Standard Series or other distinct instrument groupings. Martin Special Editions are not limited in quantity or specified time availability.

Ibanez’ AEG series of slender bodied Acoustic Electric Guitars are comfortable to play and have both presence and tone you wouldn’t expect from a smaller bodied acoustic. Plug it in with the powerful Fishman Sonicore preamp and you have all you need to play incredible sounding chords that will brighten up any acoustic set. The quilt tops with sunburst finishes round out the AEG25E making it the complete package of tone looks and playability that you will never want to put down. A workhorse acoustic guitar that will rise to any occasion.

Not only has Epiphone Mastered the art of guitar building, but has matched that skill with electronics. Explore both worlds with this guitar! From the balanced rich warm sound of its solid Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, to the accurate big sound of its Piezo/Shadow P4 pickups, this is a very well built and great sounding guitar either plugged in or on its own.

Feature:
I didnt like the fact that it didnt have anywhere to attach a strap, but the electronics are great.
Quality:
This guitar is beautiful. I havnt had it for long so can’t speak on the overall quality but from what i can tell this is a well built guitar, that stays true to the Epiphone name.
Value:
This guitar is well worth the price I payed and I would gladly pay up to $400 or even $500
Desirability:
This guitar is simple, yet very classy. The cut-away body gives it a beautiful look.
Sound:
This is an awesome sounding guitar for the price. Id easily say the best sounding guitar for under $400. Its no Taylor but for the price you cant go wrong.
Ease of Use:
Just tune this baby out of the box and get started. The only problem I had was that it is kind of hard to open the electronics to get to the battery. The action on the guitar was fine for me and I didnt have to adjust it at all.
Support:
Havnt needed it .
Overall:
If you are looking for an inexpensive, quality guitar, then this is the guitar for you. I would gladly recommend it to any one of my friends or family.
The Ibanez EWC30ASE delivers both sound and playability — the two most important components in an instrument. Very few will deny that a standout visual aspect enhances your performance. The appearance and sound of the unique Exotic Wood Series were designed for the player who is looking for a completely new and different voice. You won’t find anything else quite like the EW guitars — even among guitars that are much more expensive.

The Taylor 314ce features a Grand Auditorium body, Venetian cutaway, and the Taylor Expression System, adding up to a versatile guitar that’s perfect for stage and home. The combination of Sitka spruce and African mahogany provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles. The Grand Auditorium size combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. This sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming.

User Reviews:
Feature:
I “like” the included case (better constructed than any one of my previous guitars was), the cord terminating in microphone DIN connector, the combo screw driver/wrench, for neck adjustments, and the included Elixir NanoWeb Light strings.
Quality:
Would be hard to tell it was “mass produced” if you didn’t know.
Desirability:
If you are a singer/guitar player, and you don’t have this guitar, or another Taylor, you don’t sound as good as you could sound.
Sound:
Never have had an accoustic electric guitar that sounded, when plugged in, like I shoved a microphone in the sound hole, until this one. This instrument makes me a better guitar player, without even getting any better.
Support:
Bought ebony/abalone string pegs, after I bought it, from their website…was a breeze to deal with.
Overall:
I’ve bought my ultimate guitar…all others will pale in comparison.
