Epiphone Explorer Gothic Electric Guitar

legendary epiphone gothic

Advantages: great sound
Disadvantages: need a decent amp to go with it

Well what a guitar this has to be my favourite guitar that i own. It looks great, sounds great and lets just face it its great. On stage it has never let me down it never sounds bad though this may because of my marshall amp but the two go together nicely. You may say that its the cheap version of the Gibson you would be right but it uses basicly all the same things its just the gibsons are hand made. The clean sound on this guitar is great sounds good if you want to do some old tunes like jonny b good or the classic summer of 69 obviously you can do them distorted but i thought that they sounded fantastic on clean. Well when my band wanted to do the darkness in the concert i thought i would use a much rocky guitar than this so i tried my flying v but i thought naaa tried this and the distorted sound was just incredible i manged ...

Review of Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar

Epiphone Gothic Les Paul Studio

Advantages: Good, playable and easy to use standing or sitting.
Disadvantages: What disadvantages?

The Epiphone studio guitar that I own is the "limited edition, Gothic ,studio ,les paul" and therefore unsurprisingly this is the guitar I am reviewing. The Epiphone Gothic les paul is not to distant to it's Gibson cousin, it contains the same electronics and additional metal-wear (machine heads, dial heads etc.) the only major difference is that the Gibson is handmade and so costs a fortune! The Epiphone is a body heavy guitar but is also still very light when compared to something like a B.C. Rich Warlock. The Gothic les paul maintains the good tone and over all sound you would expect from Gibson but at Epiphone prices! Clean Channel --------------------- On a clean channel this guitar provides a good blues sound perfect for .....well blues. If given the slightest overdrive it makes for a brilliant jazz ...

Review of Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar

Epiphone Les Paul Custom

Advantages: Sturdy, looks great, sounds amazing
Disadvantages: stigma of being epiphone and not gibson

In my opinion this is a brilliant sturdy guitar, that is built to the highest quality of epiphone standards being its top of the range. Having played the cheapest gibson les paul and most expensive epiphone les paul custom i would settle for the epiphone every time, which is why i own one of those over the cheapest gibson les paul. The quality of build, i feel, is very superior to the quality of all other epiphone electric guitars and the binding and inlay is just beautiful. The sound of this guitar is fantastic, far superior to the sound of my fender strat, peavey whitesnake signature and ESP viper, i would choose this guitar over them all for sound and if it ever got broke, lost or stolen i would definitely buy another one! ...
