Epiphone Les Paul Custom

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

...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, ...

Review of Epiphone Les Paul Studio 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

The red devil, ready to rock!

Advantages: Great design, tone and durability
Disadvantages: 0

The guitar has a 22 jumbo fret fat Brazilian Rosewood neck (Custom ordered) with pearl block inlays. The body is Mahogany with the brazilian neck. It's a Les Paul body style with a gold Tune-O-Matic bridge. It has a volume and a tone knob for the bridge pickup and a volume and tone knob for the neck pickup and a 3 way Switch. I really love the Grover tuners, which never goes out of tune. I play classic rock with this Les Paul guitar and it sounds ...
...this guitar is the I can really shine on the stage with the dark rose red colour of the body. Still remeber my first rock concert in school, i used it and everyone went mad after our band's performance. This is a great guitar to rock all the way to hell! ...

Review of Epiphone Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar

Big, black and oh so beautiful

Advantages: Beauty and fantastic tone in one package
Disadvantages: I wish it said Gibson on the headstock

...end of the models that Epiphone can produce, both in looks and tone. I totally fell for this guitar, with it's beautiful deep black laquer, cream edging and three gold covered pickups before I'd even laid a finger on it. Now for the specifications: Mahogany/alder body and top Fitted mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard Block inlays 22 frets 2 volume and 2 tone controls 3 way pickup switch 3 Gibson designed humbuckers. Gold hardware. ...
...Gibson, but it runs it a close second for less than half the price. I have a mate with a music shop who can't get hold of one of these from Epiphone so he's badgering me for mine. Needless to say, he's more chance of knitting fog than getting it. ...

Review of Epiphone Black Beauty Electric Guitar

Ibanez S470

Advantages: Sound and look like Joe Satriani's Ibanez JS
Disadvantages: Pickups arent the best...

...each sound from all the positions of the pickups. I dont particularly like the stock pickups, but they sound amazing for the price. Trust me, if you want a cheap guitar that looks and sounds great, this is the guitar for you. As Ibanez say, 'Ibanez, the guitar of tomorrow'. ...
