Great looking and sounding but not perfect
Andy Mawson

Lovely looking and great sounding with no shortage of tone optons but an absolute beast to keep the G, B and E strings in tune both when playing open chords (strings go very sharp) and keeping them in tune 'at rest'. Problem seemed to be a high nut with too much friction. Replacing the Epiphone nut with a Tusq XL has made all the difference.
Easy playng guitar

Visually, a very stunning instrument. Although it's a looker, it "is" more than just a pretty face. The mini humbuckers have lots of useful tones and can do any genre of music. One of my favorite aspects of the Kat guitars is the master volume, v/v/t layout. The CTS pots really bring this feature out. Blending is much more noticeable and does give a broader palate of usable sounds.… read more Because of the COVID-19 thing, this particular guitar did not get Sweetwater 55 point treatment. So this gave me a chance to compare how Epiphone sends out their instrument as opposed to Sweetwater. I have to admit, Epiphone has stepped up. If you are looking to get an ES guitar, I would suggest putting this one on your list to check out.

Just received my guitar today and love the look, it's a real beauty! The guitar sounds fantastic with all the rich tone of a great humbucker but a much tighter bottom end which I love. I was a little disappointed that there was considerable fret buzz on the 10th fret, I ended up raising the bridge to eliminate it, I'll work on it some more when I change strings. I also noticed that… read more it didn't come with allen wrenches or a cable as all my previous Epiphone guitars have had, is this Epiphone nickel and dimeing us or just an oversight? This is my fifth Epiphone and next to my Les Paul 60's tribute plus it's my most expensive, I expected a better experience! As always Sweetwater was great in fulfilling my order.
