Need help in deciding

[freakznet]

I am still a noob in electric guitar. So i need help in deciding between the Epiphone LP and the Rally gl-300. I have seen alot of reviews on the gl-300 so i wanna know what do u guys think. Which is the better deal

 

[9000]

what kind of Epi Lp are you talking about?

Now to wait for the man himself to speak.

 

[freakznet]

oops. it's the Epi LP std:mrgreen:

 

[9000]

the gl300 and epiphone lp standard price range are a huge difference.
gl 300 is like 300 to 400,while the epi lp standard is like 700+
you might wanna consider very carefully.
well the epiphone lp is sort of the only legal LP from gibson.
But both are great guitars in terms of tone wise.

 

[teleplayer]

lol. although epiphone has the legal LP from gibson, there's other brands like edwards or orville or burny that produce better LPs than epiphone.... and the headstock is not smal!!

 

[9000]

haha yea lp copies.well epi lp standard holds better value in my opinion.
yall can disagree with me but like i said its my opinion.

 

[teleplayer]

haha, ya, it's also my opinion... LOL.

but no offence, epiphone LPs are also copies.... and brands like orville or edwards actually hold better value as compared to epiphones.... this isnt my opinion.... hehe...

NO OFFENCE K.

 

[9000]

Lol what's so offensive about saying that Epiphones' are copies too?:twisted:
Anyways,the Epiphone LPs,despite being a brand directly under Gibson,do come in the worst conditions.The QC sometimes is just terribad...so do look to other brands too and not only stick to Epiphone just because it's under the Great Gibson.

i'd choose Rally GL-300 if i were you.

The Epiphone LP Std is just not worth the price you're paying for.

Little difference in tone but your paying for brand ,

http://standardvalue.com.sg/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=488

I assume its this

Specs:
Body : Carved Mahogany with Flame Maple on Top
Neck : Maple (set neck)
Fingerboard : Rosewood
Pickup : 2 Humbuckers (Covered)
Controls : 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3 Way Toggle
Bridge : Tune-o-Matic with Stop Bar Tailpiece
Frets & Scale : 22 Frets, 24.75"
Machine Head : Diecasting
Hardware : Chrome
Color : Heritage Sunburst


VS

http://standardvalue.com.sg/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=413

Pickups: Alnico Classic Humbuckers
Hardware: Chrome
Scale: 24.75"
Nut Width: 1.68"
Neck: Set, Mahogany
Fingerboard - Inlay: Rosewood - Trapezoid
Body Material: Mahogany
Tailpiece: Stopbar
Finish: Ebony (EB)


Lets see,

Rally Vs Epiphone
Chrome Vs Chrome (hardware)
Rosewood Vs Rosewood (Fingerboard)
Stopbar Vs Stopbar (tailpiece)
Mahagony Vs Mahagony (Body)
22 Frets Vs 22 Frets (frets)
Maple(set) Vs Mahagony(set) (Neck)




Okay....

so IMO,(alot of people's IMO:twisted The difference is so minute that why are you paying for a guitar costing 300 bucks more? Maybe the neck is different, but is this going to stop you to buy a rally? Heck if i had the money, i would buy one. So where does this extra 300 come from? Well since there are many Les paul Clones/Copies out there, Epiphone Raises its pricing so that it can earn more using the 靠山(sorry could'nt find a verb) of Gibson to gain awareness and popularity, You might pay for a epiphone when it is a signature model(BB King, Randy Rhoads Etc.) that you cannot find from any other cloners out there(Maybe not Legit models) that has power to tie in with big names. But you are now choosing over standard and standard, its the same aint it? So I strongly reccomend you to get the Rally GL-300

That 300 bucks saved =
Bills payed,
New Amp(s),
New Pedal(s),
Secondhand Goods,
Breakfasts,
Lunch,
Dinner,
Supper,
To the bar(arcade in my instance)
New stuff,
Top Up bus card,
Groceries,
You get the point...

The website never put LP Jr, It special II i think your confused.

I Highly reccomend the Rally, GL 300 Or GL 400 if your more into the custom look.

So, what's your choice?

 

[NewbMan]

sorry to hijack but i cant help but ask the differents with the epiphone les paul standard and rally gl-400 wh maybe the pickups?(correct me if im wrong)Or are the pickups equally good?

K 2nd question Say i buy the rally gl-400 wh and change the pickups the emg 81 and 60 how much will that cost?

 

[edyeo123]

What i can say is the tone from the pickups on the rally sounds better than from the epiphones.
