I can hardly believe that so many players refuse to give this particular Epiphone model a chance...I have had so many players say: "that sound was coming from an Epiphone?"
This pickup system in this model will blow away almost everything out there.
Time and time again, I have seen Martin & Taylor players realize that the Epiphone DR500MCE kicked their keister in a plugged in setting....
Folks, you can buy this guitar for little more than many high end pickup systems and have awesome live sound in any setting, instead of playing games with an aftermarket system that is not matched well with your guitar.
I wish you could see and hear it...then maybe you would believe....
