It's not thin, but definitely wouldn't call it fat, either. Haven't tried any open tunings with it yet, but it's great with drop D tuning and capoed up the neck is fantastic. It's just a very nice sounding, well balanced guitar that so far seems to handle anything you throw at it.

The highs are nice and rich without being tinny and the low end is glorious without being muddy. It's on the brighter side compared to my D-18, but the furthest thing from being described as harsh, shrill, etc. I'm loving that it is both a great strummer and fantastic finger picker.

This guitar sounds huge and is very responsive and dynamic. I was very nervous buying one of these sight unseen (well, I did get to see pictures of it and hear sound clips of a few the shop had in stock), but feel like I made the right decision. I have always preferred longer scale necks and bigger body guitars over smaller, and wanted something that complimented my D-18.

Sold my J45 Standard (couldn't bond with it) recently along with an SG Classic (amazing guitar but never play it) and bought this new Frontier. Yes, it says Epiphone on the headstock, but all the paperwork, warranty card and care candy all say Gibson, so I figured it was appropriate to put it on this forum given the Epiphone forum doesn't seem to get much traffic.
