Epiphone guitars

[tany]

dun buy a LP 100. imo it's a waste of money...

just like some ppl say about a JEM JR :lol:

Hmm

Actually is a Epiphone Les Paul Std good? In the aspect of ease of play (altho weight can be quite problematic at times). I'm contemplating on saving up for a Gibson rather than a Epiphone. What is your take?

 

[Raley]

I would suggest saving up for a Tokai instead of a Gibby.

I just saw the slash signature in guitar gallery yest and i was drooling like mad, but i still think Tokai is a smarter way to spend money.

Oh and the sticker on the slash said $12K !!!!!!

I think gibson is going mad!

Compare a Tokai LS150 with a LP standard, I think the specs are the same. but the price is like 3K less. Go figure

I'm using a Epi LP classic and i find it nice to play. other than the fact that my birdseye maple top is a veneer and the "eyes" look like someone used a hole puncher to make the circles.

 

[blahblah]

go get those japanese made epiphones they use american PUs. the headstock is actually shaped exactly the same as a real gibson.

 

[trianglebiscuit]

are the japan epis worth their 1k+ price tag? saw them on the japan site posted in the ishibashi thread.

 

[fibredrive]

interesting read. was considering an epi lp myself recently and saw this thread again. but the jap ones on ishibashi i can't seem to find. i see gibson, fender, etc, but no burny or epiphone...am i missing something?
anyways, how much does an epi lp cost from ishibashi? thks!

 

[trianglebiscuit]

$1000 difference is not a bit by my standard.

 

[neuro182]
