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

3 way pickup switch
3 Gibson designed humbuckers. Gold hardware. ... ...Gibson, but it runs it a close second for less than half the price.

Quick review of Epiphone Black Beauty Electric Guitar
A well made guitar with quality looks and a great sound, although I don't use the middle pickup setting very much, haven't really found it provides much emphasis. The only two little faults (of which I was aware before I bought) have been a crackly pickup switch, sorted with switch cleaner, and the strap pins kept coming loose, I have replaced them with Strap Locks adn glued the pins - problem sorted.
I play it thu Zoom G2 pedal and Alessis wildfire 60 amp, loads of power and brilliant sounds. I would need some convincing to pay out for a genuine Gibson. ...
