ShredAstaire Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 John Lennon played an Epiphone just sayin You guys missed the sarcasm in my note...i know that pro's use Epiphones but you don't hear about it very often around here....its all about "If you don't play a Gibson, you suck" ... I get at least 1 or 2 digs every time i mention my epi's....i LOVE my Epi's...but yes, to avoid an argument, I would like a Gibson if I didn't have to spend my money elsewhere. Though, i'm a bedroom player and my tone sounds pretty awesome to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to mod the Sheraton because I don't necessarily care for the pickups, but when the alternative is really dropping 3 grand on a Gibson 335, the choice is obvious.

sgman Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Not knockin' Epiphone, but when it comes to electric guitars, I much prefer the "real deal" and IMHO, Gibson ARE the "real deal." But having said that, I'm really considering buying the Epiphone Roy Orbison signature 12 string acoustic. Played on one today and loved it!

Artie Owl Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Or, since we're talking about Epi vs Gib, maybe it was the guitars the birds were crapping on? (Devil's advocate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look! Im guitarest! Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'd be happy with a Mandolin from Epi I thought about getting an epi mando, knowing my epiphone guitar is so awesome. I ended up getting a $200 Kentucky, which completely satisfies me. To answer the OP, gibsons say "Gibson" on the headstock, while epiphones say "epiphone". I would say my $500 epi beats my friend's $1000 Gibby. Or maybe his just sounds like crap because he has the pickup selector on bridge, with treble turned up to 10, and effects turned on constantly.
