Epiphone's best selling acoustic.
Mahogany body with Select Spruce top.
Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.
Body Tonewoods The top of the DR-100 is made from select spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from mahogany, giving the DR-100 balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Dot Inlays The fingerboard of the DR-100 is constructed from rosewood. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note clarity and bite.
Angled Headstock Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Awesome guitar guys. The finish is beautiful and after a little tuning I had it sounding just like I thought it would. There were other reviews saying it doesn't stay in tune and the fret wires were cut too long, but I haven't experienced either one of these. Seriously, if you're a beginner guitarest and want a clean looking good sounding guitar while staying low in price... look no further than this.

After speaking with several musicians and doing more research on this than I've ever done before, I have to say you can't go wrong with this little black beauty.

I didn't expect anything more than basic functionality form this when I bought this simply because I didn't plan on spending a fortune on a guitar I only need to get me through a deployment in Afghanistan. Right out of th box I had dead frets. The neck looked a bit bowed so I loosened the strings to get the truss rod and -gasp- NO TRUSS ROD. But an allen wrench came with it so that became f***ing useless. I even bought a bigger saddle to raise the strings a little higher and perhaps cancel out the dead frets. Nope. After a month it just kept getting worse and worse until I got fed up with this piece of garbage, smashed it, and threw it in the burn pit. I expected a lot more from a guitar with the Gibson name. Hell, I just wanted it to WORK. I've been playing guitar for about 8 so I'd like to think that I know what a guitar should sound like and this guitar was comparable to a FirstAct guitar. It was a complete waste of money.
