I was excited to see the reissue Crestwood when it was announced and bought one last month, in cherry. This is my first Epiphone electric after 50+ years of playing almost nothing but Gibson and Fender, and I have been very pleasantly surprised by the build quality; good component choice too-GraphTech and CTS. There is nothing 'cheap' or substandard about the guitar, and I was impressed to see how well the frets had been crowned and polished, with nicely rounded and smooth ends on the rolled edge fretboard. I also have the excellent Masterbilt Texan, but that's another story.
