Epiphone Les Paul Studio, a little too evil?

Advantages: Build quality, Bridge pickup, Hardware
Disadvantages: Weight, Finish

Firstly i'd like to say that for me this guitar looks rather drab and boring, as it is so plain and all in black. There is no contrast in colour and doesn't really stand out. But with that now said, i will go onto the other aspects. It has the standard les paul fittings, which are sturdy and reliable, and the tuners that hold their tuning very well. The pickups are high output and sound very heavy, which is ideal for hard rock and metal. The neck ...
...with only light distortion but sound good clean. The guitar is quite heavy in weight and can make my shoulder ache if i've had it on the strap too long. But the weight is only due to the mahogany it is made from. It is buit very well and is also sturdy. The fitted neck is very nice and adds to the build quility. ...

Review of Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar

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

Casino Bigsby.... bigger and better

Advantages: cheap, good sound, nice colour, very good construction
Disadvantages: wimpy tuners

FIRST OF ALL: I recently bought a Casino, the new Casino Bigsby. I own four other guitars, a Rickenbacker 360/12v64, a Gibson j160e, a Gretsch Country classic 1962 II and a US fender stratocaster. Still the Casino is one of the best guitars I have ever played. I play in a Beatles tribute band, I play the role of Harrison, and of course the Casino was a must. So when I spotted the Casino Bigsby, I was in Love right away and lucky enough for me this ...
...real must-have for every Beatle maniac ;o) ABOUT THE CASINO: Almost everything about this guitar is pure joy, the playing action, the construction, the sound. The only thing about this guitar I don´t like is the fake Kluson-style tuners. These should have been swabbed into something better before it left the factory. THE SOUND: The sound in this guitar is perfect. It has the treble of a vintage ES335 and the playability of a Stratocaster. All ...

Review of Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar

Alright for a beginner

Advantages: Pickups, Light weight
Disadvantages: Tuners, Intonation, Action

...sound and are ideal for distortion. The hardware is standard epiphone which is nice and sturdy. This guitar has the standard one volume, one tone and a three way selector, which is all you need. It is a nice light guitar that would make an ideal back up stage guitar. ...

Review of Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar

No competition for the Pacifica

Advantages: Very cheap to buy, very nice sound.
Disadvantages: Boring standard shape.

...to anyone starting guitar. The Yamaha Pacifica sounds much better than any other guitar in its price range, and is much more versatile. It is a combination of the telecaster and stratocaster style sounds. The guitar is also very strong, its a heavy, well built guitar. I have never had any problems with my pacifica, and now mine is more than 10 years old, the only problem I have with it is the pick guard has turned a slight yellowy colour. Maybe ...
