Epiphone DR-200S Solid Top Acoustic Guitar, Natural

I purchased this guitar about 3 years ago, almost on a whim. I had been playing bass guitar in a band for a while, and wanted something for acoustic jams (I decided against an acoustic bass). Unfortunately, I didn't really get to playing it until just this past summer. Stock strings (obviously) aren't the best, but after stringing it up with some medium gauge D'Addarios, the sound was amazing. Very full and vibrant tones. Action is also great - not too high, not too low. Also worth noting is that I tend to be a very hard player (physically), so I can safely say that this guitar can withstand quite a bit of punishment. Only issue I've had were the cheap little plastic bridge pins that come stock. Not so much a function issue as an aesthetic one. Luckily though, you can pick up some nice new ones online for only a few bucks.

In conclusion, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a worthwhile acoustic under $300. A GREAT choice for beginners, if you can afford it...Read more
