I think you've probably already long since bought the guitar, but I thought it would be worth adding, just in case anyone else looking for advice reads this, that some Epiphones are built by Cort. There's a way of telling what company built the guitar from the serial number, though I'm not enough of an Epiphone expert to remember exactly how - I think it's as simple as it starting with a C, though. Samick make a lot of Epiphones too; their own brand Greg Bennett guitars look interesting, though I've never tried one.
I think it's always best to go and try one if you possibly can - and buy the one that you try (rather than going back and ordering the same model online after trying it out in a shop); you can never be sure if any of the others coming off the production line will be as good. With higher priced instruments, you'd hope that the quality gets more consistent...still, even a very experienced builder admitted to me that having an instrument custom built was more risky than buying a finished instrument, as with all the best will in the world, it couldn't be guaranteed 100% for certain what the end result would be like...well, I trusted his judgement, and what he eventually built was superb, and just as we'd both hoped, but he was right, you can never be completely sure until you've held it in your hands...

Hi from France ! Could someone give me some advices about this guitar ? Is it a good guitar ? Surely not really good because it's a cheap guitar and Cort is not a great brand guitar but surely better than my "F...." Jim Harley always out of tune !
Non justement je dis que je n'ai pas les moyens de me payer une guitare comme ça , en plus ce serait inutile car je ne joue pas assez bien pour une PRS ou une autre guitare de qualité irreprochable !
