No | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: Beautiful guitar Cons: Not up to par As a Left hand player I found a beautiful Epiphone left hand acoustic (DR200 L SNA) and purchased it. Before I left the store I asked them to change the strings to Elixir Polywebs. When I got home and started playing the instrument I had several "bad" sounding chords and examined the instrument closer. What I found was that all the frets on each side were beveled at about a 30 degree angle and that the nut was cut way close to the ends for the low and hi E strings. What this effectively did was place the fretted hi E string ON the beveled edge of the fret at several locations on the fretboard. Boy! was I surprised. A trip to the music store showed me the very same thing on the other Lefty in stock. I did not see this on the right hand models. This is not acceptable even on "no-name" guitars. I guess epiphone needs to do better Quality Control in their foreign shops. But for me . . no more Epiphones-ever! ------------------------------ FenderMoJoMan
