it is seen in his equipboard!
Sounds awesome and is so versatile. The golden hardware rusts quickly.
Nice clean tones and sensational biting overdrive. Great flexibility for my music.
This Epiphone plays like a Gibson. The standard pickups are very slightly less clear than those of higher-end models. But I like it a lot more for that. Beautiful looking and playing guitar!
Good lord, this thing is ridiculous. I mean heavy, but ridiculous in a good way. Now I'm not sure if they come stock, but mine had Grover tuners on it. The tone and sustain was incredible, I mean it really is a Gibson but without their name on the headstock. You may already know Gibson is the parent company to Epiphone, but I'm telling you that if you feel ridiculous (you should) for shelling out anywhere over a grand (which you will) on an above-average Gib LP, then give this thing a try. I don't believe you will be disappointed.
STILL trying to get mine back from my old rhythm guitarist from High School..
I feel you. I dunno, I have alot of equip and my dad has even more, the more the merrier? As far as the USA brands (GIB, FNDR, uh.. G&L, PRS) I would drop maybe up to a grand on them, as I did for my Gibson (eh, maybe like seven or eight hundo), then past that It just feels like grasping at straws. My mind just changed recently I was a strictly Epiphone (but really just Gibson) then I saw what the Far East could do in terms of matching Gib sound, quality of the guitar, quality pickups tuning pegs. I guess my point is, if the name isn't on the guitar, but you have a guitar made out of the SAME wood, same/similar tuning pegs/bridge/pickups... but its made in CHINA instead of America... Is it then really not as good as our stuff? Unsure at this point, I'm torn good sir. And I should probably revise my statement, the wording for "feeling ridiculous for buying an above a grand guitar" sounds a bit mean and degrading, and I didn't mean to come across that way, sorry bro.
After having my heart set on a Gibson Les Paul, I set out to play everything I could at the local guitar shops. Bottom line was, after playing about 4 or 5 of them, none were speaking to me. The salesman asked if I wanted to try another and on accident he grabbed the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro. I told him I would give it a try anyway and I liked it better than the Gibson's I played prior! So I purchased it and to this day it's still my #1 guitar in the arsenal. The neck is great, plays like a dream, and the Probucker pickups are impressive. Job well done by Epiphone on this one.
