An extremely versatile and reliable guitar!

Advantages: The classic bread and butter of our time - beautiful and brilliant
Disadvantages: expensive and daunting to a beginner

There is, unsurprisingly, a reason why this guitar is so successful - it is an absolute icon of our time. For years to come, people will look at that familiar rounded outline and remember their rockstar hopes and fantasies, as well as their most epic jam sessions! I have only been playing guitar for two years and have had no professional instruction, i was delighted to find out early on that i was naturally talented at playing and advanced quite ...
...have taught a couple of my friends. I own this guitar in Alpine White and it looks sublime, the gold pickups are beautifully worn giving it a well played look and the sound is almost perfect in every way. I chose this guitar based purely on a long time obsession with the beauty of Les Pauls', i went straight here from a cheap knock off strat and have never looked back. I have heard horror stories about people going through a plethora of poor guitars ...

Review of Epiphone Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar

Just Go And Feel It

Advantages: Light, tough, great balance
Disadvantages: Expensive

Owning Gibson is an honour and if it is Gibson J-45 rosewood acoustic it is both honour and delight. It is very is to be biased for the Taylors, Honners, Martins but with this one it is total passionate bias. Just strum it and immediately feel its out-of-the-world balance- bass, midrange, treble-as if electronically equalized. In fact the touch is great. Smooth neck, comfortablely angled. Frankly speaking it has got a tone of its own, just something ...
...doubt its toughness, go live, keep strumming J-45 takes it all with mute stoicism. As all Gibsons, J-45 do not generally have pickups. Mahogony neck, fairly midium sized, beautifully sloped shoulder body, whitebound fingerboard and headstock and ofcourse Gibson special ebony. Tell me why shouldn't Bob Dylan love it?? ...

Review of Gibson J-45 Rosewood Custom Acoustic Guitar

Epiphone G-1275

Advantages: Very versitile.
Disadvantages: Quite heavy compared to most guitars.

...So sadly like all other Epiphone SG's it is somewhat neck heavy, however if you invest in a good thick strap this should provide enough resistance to stop it taking a neck dive. However ,alas, there is one major disadvantage to this guitar. It is almost impossible to play the frets 17-18 onwards because of the shape of the body. ...

Review of Epiphone G-1275 Custom Double Neck Electric Guitar

Classic!

Advantages: Lovely to play and being a Les Paul you can be assured of its quality
Disadvantages: Bit on the pricey side but well worth it in my opinion

Although ive never owned this guitar one of my friends has and it is one of the nicest pieces of equipment you could ever wish to play. Couple this with a Marshall amp and cab and there is no better way to play guitar and no rival for the sound that can be produced by even the most incompetent of guitarists like myself!The humbucker pickups are of the best quality and with the three way selection switch which all Les Pauls now come with as standard, ...

Review of Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Electric Guitar

So comfortable it even helps with your playing

Advantages: The neck is perfect, no stretching and very comfortable
Disadvantages: Nowhere to put a whammy bar

...it. Much better than the fender strat squire I began with, the fret boards lighter coloured wood looks better and in my opinion makes it easier to see what your doing. The neck has the best feel I have ever felt from any guitar I have played. The neck is quite skinny so easy to get your fingers around for people who suffer from that problem but it doesn't compramise on the fret boards width, i.e. the strings are not too close together. Its not that ...
