I have an Epic Dove (2012) with about 500 hours of play on it. It is a strikingly convincing (well, sort of) copy of the real thing, though it is a real clunker build-wise. (My Keb Mo is 3.5 lbs., this is 5.5 lbs.) I paid $268 with a GC coupon, then another $100 or so for a hard bone saddle. It has always intonated well, but like the Gibson dreads it emulates, has long had a way of sounding like there is a pillow stuffed in the sound hole. But very recently it has begun to open up, and I am delighted with how much fuller and cleaner it sounds, projecting in a way I thought it never could. Made in Indonesia, never out of tune! It's a keeper now, though I'd intended it for my son (as in, go ahead, ding it up). My insistence on solid back and sides and light builds is now under reconsideration. Go Epiphone. P.S. I recall a youtube video review of an Epic jumbo, which the reviewer called "the worst guitar ever." Maybe so, but mine is really coming around.
