I think this has been out awhile, but I just ran across it. I'm a fan of the Gibson model it's based on, and I like the NanoFlex pickup.

NOt sure that the demo in the link does the guitar any favours, but thanks.

Funnily enough, this model is in my short list of 3 (Rob can vouch for this!), but what is putting me off is the electronics. I don't fully understand which pickup is routed to which output, whether mono or stereo leads are required, whether one or both outputs should be used. The Epiphone literature on the subject is far from clear*. So I don't really want to buy a guitar and then spend ages figuring out how to get the optimum sound from it.
Have written to Gibson and am awaiting their reply.

FOr the record, the other two are the TANGLEWOOD 170 ASCE (clearly a solidly built 'proper' guitar) and the Yamaha cpx500ii (a slimline but which is reputed to amplify pretty well and is exactly half the price of the TW).

will keep you posted

* Let me give you an example

The NanoFlex™ and NanoMag™ units then work with the rim-mounted, Epiphone eSonic2™ preamp system, also an exclusive design from Shadow Electronics® of Germany, which then outputs in a mono blend or from stereo ¼" jacks.
