| damusicfrk's Full Review: Epiphone Pr-100 Acoustic Guitar |
This was my first guitar so I am probably slightly partial to it but I do think it is an extraordinary guitar, specially for the price. I spent a little over $200 on the sunburst colored guitar and I like the sound that comes out of this more then the sound that comes out of my Aunt's $900 guitar, which I cannot even remember the brand of. Obviously no two guitars are EXACTLY alike but the basics are usually all the same. This is just my account of how great a guitar this is.
To begin, the sound is very clear and there is no buzzing at all, unless it is due to my own inaccuracies. The neck is very well proportioned, not too thick or thin(about and inch thick, two inches wide, whereas my friends guitar has an almost 2 inch thick neck), and the frets are spread out nicely, close enough together to get the right sounds out. It really is just your average guitar in that respect, meaning that all the specs are what you would expect from a normal good quality guitar, at least they are what I expect.
I only have two problems with this guitar. 1, There are no pick-ups. Most regular acoustic guitars neglect this function but it really helps when you want to play up on a stage or even if you want to use effects instead of the same old acoustic sound. 2, The frets at the bottom of the neck are virtually unreachable when playing because of the classic acoustic guitar shape. If I picked out another guitar I would find one that has the shape that most electric guitars have to allow better access to the bottom of the neck.
Other then that it's a matter of trying the guitar for yourself to see if it feel right. You just need to try it out at your local music/guitar shop and see if it is right for you. I absolutely recommend that you at least try it out to see what a REAL acoustic guitar should feel like.
