Members this is paul Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Didn't watch, but... My Epi LP is a good guitar. Feel wise....it's nowhere close to Gibsons I've owned. It makes a nice backup though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 67mike Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Epiphone is like the reminants left on the paper....Gibson is the coiled pile in the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ENdtime Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I watched thru the Gibson standard demo and I thought it sounded great.. I have a 91 Les Paul studio that sounds absolutely {censored}ing great.. My buddy has a epi Les Paul.. One day we compared them.. It was no question that the Gibson sounded WAY better.. Not saying i haven't found some nice Epi's and also some {censored} Gibsons, but I do know my Studio is a phenomenal tone machine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members americansinner Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 cheap Epi + some nice boutique pickups = better guitar than Gibson for half the price. Name brands are for people like Paris Hilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members this is paul Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm sure this statement is entirely true, and not just some kid trying to justify his Epiphone. +1 Sound isn't everything. I've got some cheap guitars that for some reason record VERY well. But this {censored}ers are a chore to play sometimes. Playing live is all about feel to me, and personally I'm a fender guy, but I don't know why I'm bringing up playing live. Plenty of people who own both don't play out.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 An Epiphone with upgraded pickups is a decent guitar for sure, but still completely different than a Gibson. Just the nitro finish Gibson uses gives their guitars a completely different feel. Also the string spacing is completely different (Epi and Gibson parts are not interchangeable). Epiphone made a lot of progress from their 80's/90's guitars but they're just different than Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members this is paul Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 I never play out, and am simply trying to justify my Gibson. I definitely wasn't singling you out. Even if I didn't play in bands, I'd still rather own a Gibson (if I could afford it, haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah if you want a Gibson, that's what you should get. All others are just copies and most fall short of the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Charlie_Sheen Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 it amazes me that epiphone doesn't throw boutique pickups in their guitars and charge more since they're better than gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JonVengeance Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah if you want a Gibson, that's what you should get. All others are just copies and most fall short of the real thing. Except for Heritage guitars which are made in the old Kalamazoo factory by former Gibson employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
