  1. A: Gibson can make a great product. B: I don't believe you have to pay Gibson prices to get Gibson quality. If you want to pay top dollar for Gibson, PRS, et al. Go right ahead. Those are great guitars. For me that would be a dreadful waste of money that would make me inconsolable. Even if I were to buy a Gibson, it would be used and at a giveaway price. I wouldn't mind owning one. I just don't think they're worth the money. Before I'd buy a Gibson, I'd by the Epi, rewire it, add GFS pickups, mod the hardware and have a guitar that plays and sounds so close to a high priced Gibson that it would make the stockholders sad. Also, I'd take my family to Disney World with the difference in Gibson price and what I spent. Besides which, I think most Epi Standards play well and sound pretty good anyway. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and was around when Fender and Gibson were the only game in town. They're not anymore and it's silly to presume that they are. I have seen all kinds of guitars wear badly, suffer abuse and look like {censored}. I believe it's called relic'ing. +1
  2. i would freakin hope that gibson feels better because for the love of god they cost sooooooooooooooo much more. I just think that epi's sound and feel good enough that gibson's aren't worth the price tag in comparison. the 500-800 dollar models are reasonable to me but the 2000 guitars just don't do anything for me because of the price to performance ratio. If you want a gibson and can afford it i understand. I have my computer gaming habit to keep up as well and I need to build a solid dual core pci exp vista gaming machine in the near future so i can play bioshock, UT3, Crysis, ect and so I just can't afford to spend that on a guitar.....lol
  3. a couple guys i know (twin brother's actually) have epi lp standard flame tops one in honeyburst and one in cherryburst. they both feel like realllllllly nice guitars. the guy who started me out 11 years ago had an epi lp 100 that felt great also. one of the guys who played with us had an epi lp custom in black. felt great. Epi's feel as good as gibsons to me..a little lighter....which is good.
