User Reviews:
Feature:
I wish the fret board inlays were more eye-catching. I also wish this guitar had a pickup, because it sounds so amazing already.
Quality:
It is obvious tht this clean, classy guitar is about quality, so it’s OK that it’s not fancy. Solid, no defects, everything functions perfectly.
Value:
Perhaps the best I’ve seen for the price. A better bargain than my Martin DM. I went looking for a bit cheaper, “beater” guitar and found this gem!
Desirability:
Not a dazzling guitar, so people who play to look good probably won’t be as into this guitar. But it has a dignified, classy appeal, and once you play it, it’s addictive.
Sound:
It has a full, rich tone. Bass and timbre are great, especially considering the price.
Ease of Use:
Some fret buzz, but the action is plenty smooth. Seems to hold tune well, as the one I have played at the store (and will be buying this weekend) has been in tune each of the five times I have played it (and it’s a floor model)!
Support:
Haven’t purchased yet, but their web site is informative and easy to navigate. My Tak dealer is very knowledgeable, too.
Overall:
Love it and don’t see that changing!

Feature:
It is amazing that a guitar in this price range has a solid wood top. The tortoise shell pickguard is very attractive.
Quality:
Nice tuning knobs and beautiful finish on the wood
Value:
The salesman where I bought this said that it was the nicest playing acoustic in the $200 price range.
Desirability:
It is very attractive, but I wish it had some abalone in it like my sister’s Ibanez.
Sound:
This guitar has a clean, crisp sound. It sounds the same as a much more expensive guitar.
Ease of Use:
This guitar is very easy to play. Some other guitars I’ve played have higher strings that needed to be pressed harder, but this one plays so nicely.
Overall:
I exchanged a Fender Squire guitar for this one because I wanted to switch to an acoustic. It plays so much better than that one did. I expect to always have this guitar.
Epiphone Masterbilt guitars are built to such great specifications that they rival overly expensive “higher-end” guitars. The EF500RA is crafted with a solid rosewood body and topped with solid sitka spruce providing both warmth and character that only gets better with age. A rosewood fingerboard on a mahogany neck provide smooth playability. Masterbilt guitars provide quality to last for years whenever, wherever, or however you use them.

The Guild GAD-50 was designed utilizing a body shape that is the most popular acoustic body shape in the world and has been used for over 70 years. They use solid Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, a solid spruce top that features scalloped bracing, and then joined the one piece mahogany neck with the traditional dovetail neck joint.

Feature:
The expression system produces accurate acoustic replication – controls a bit sensitive – just need to play with it to find your tone. You can turn on/off various internal pickups and dial to taste for bass/treble/volume. I play a Martin HD28 w/Fishman Matrix 2 thru a Fishman Aura – but there is no need to use it for the Taylor, the expression system is just great.
Quality:
Taylor – quality speaks for itself…guitar was flawless.
Value:
I think for $3500 you can’t find a better guitar anywhere. I used to have a D-45V and this 916ce kills it.
Sound:
Finally – Taylor has produced a CE guitar that compares to a Martin D-standard series. Unbelievably balanced sound and the famous Taylor neck and action.
Ease of Use:
Expression system is fantastic. easy to use and undestand.
Overall:
I would never part with this guitar…I finally mean it when I tell my wife …this is the last guitar I will buy.

Quality:

Value:
it makes a good toilet for the price. but if you dont take of the strings it can pinch your ass.
Desirability:
i guess it looked ok ontill i took a dump in it.
Sound:

Support:
The neck is at a F@#!ing 90 degree angle but the company refused to refund it and said it should play fine.
