Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

It feels that Epiphone could have done better with AlleyKat Ltd, but still, this is a useful musical instrument. You should really give AlleyKat Ltd a chance if you feel that this is a right instrument for you in this moment in time.

Epiphone didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the AlleyKat Ltd what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, Epiphone's AlleyKat Ltd will deliver what you need in most situations.

Though it could be better, action of Epiphone's AlleyKat Ltd is not that bad at all. It may go out of tune when mistreated, but it's easily tuned back in no time. You won't be let down while playing AlleyKat Ltd's neck. Guitar does feel a bit cheaper, but it will last you a long time, if you handle it with care that each instrument should be getting anyhow.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, AlleyKat Ltd will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Epiphone's AlleyKat Ltd.
