Epiphone LP Studio Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Worn Brown

Epiphone LP Studio Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Worn Brown Review



Although I didn't buy this guitar on Amazon, I felt it was worthy of writing a review. My original intention was to try it out at the store and order through Amazon but ended up getting it at the store for about less than Amazon (there was a one-day sale at the music store that couldn't be beat).

I used to own a Gibson Les Paul and was a bit hesitant to try the Epiphone thinking it would be "cheaper" feeling. I was wrong. It's a great feeling guitar. Although the manufacturing is done in China it needs to pass quality tests in the US. I say this in that I've played guitars that are made AND inspected in other countries (Mexico and China) and there's a difference. US inspected guitars (of larger brands) tend to have better hardware and better selects of wood.

From the factory, the guitar needs a little set-up (the action is a bit high). Easy enough to do for a veteran guitarist, but if you have someone/somplace else do it, just inspect it thoroughly before and after. The guitar lives up to the Les Paul name. Sturdy, long sustain and great quality tone. Just a fantastic instrument. It's the same things I loved about my original Gibson Les Paul. I added this guitar to a Fender Strat that, up until now, had been my only guitar for home-studio recording. I really missed the humbucking pick-ups and long sustain. I tried other guitars with humbuckers along with the Les Paul and although they had low noise and long-ish sustain, the quality of tone from other guitars just wasn't there. This guitar is well matched (neck to body) and the construction is solid. The tone is truly Les Paul. The finish of the guitar is natural. No gloss/varnish on the neck of body. I prefer this, but a high gloss finish is more common among electric guitars.

I use this guitar in a home-studio environment doing music production. Most of my production uses software emulated effects, amps and cabinets (Logic Pro, Native Instruments). I've been a guitarist for about 20 years on and off. I play a lot of contemporary, jazz, blues and rock. It accompanies a Fender Strat and Martin acoustic very well.

Bottom line: I highly recommend this guitar for the budget-minded musician who is looking for a high quality guitar with the trademarks of Les Paul (sturdy construction, long sustain, great tone).

  • Body
  • Top: Solid Mahogany
  • Body Type: Non-Chambered
  • Adhesive: Premium Titebond
  • Neck



Epiphone Special-II GT Electric Guitar, Worn Black Chrome hardware¹ Overview


To give this new Special-II GT Electric Guitar even more acceleration, Epiphone has packed it with several new features. A patent-applied-for combination Tone pot and Kill Switch lurks in what would appear to be an ordinary Master Tone control: Push or "tap" it down and it mutes the Special II GT's output signal, allowing you to create cool and unusual effects (think Buckethead!) that are particularly impressive when combined with distortion. Epiphone has equipped the new GT with a vintage-style vibrato unit that allows you to bend strings and chords with ease. Typically not found on a Les Paul-style guitar, this component, combined with the kill-switch, lets you create amazing new effects — and all at a price that won't break your budget. The Whole GT Package Other features include a tapered heel for more comfortable access in the upper frets, premium enclosed 14:1 ratio tuners, and, of course, Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty with 24/7/365 Customer Service. Top it all off with a rosewood fingerboard upgraded with pearloid parallelogram inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets — all an easy reach thanks to this GT's single-cutaway design and a contoured, recessed bolt neck — and you've got a real speed machine, one that's all the more comfortable when you wrap your hand around that SlimTaper neck profile. Bundle it all up in a thin, "worn" black finish that feels vintage, all with a price tag that any guitarist can afford, and you've got a NEW Epiphone classic made just for you!Body and Finish Like many classic Epiphone and Gibson tone machines, the Special II GT is made from a solid slab of resonant mahogany. It is completed with a "worn" black finish to give it an aged look and feel, and to allow its full tone to ring true. Neck, Fingerboard and Headstock The Special II GT carries a bolt-on maple neck with a 1960s-era SlimTaper profile, tilted Epiphone headstock, and rich brown rosewood fingerboard, all important components in its feel and tone.

Epiphone G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony Review



PROS:
1:Light
2:Amazing sound
3:Easyer to reach bottom of fretboard
4:The back of the fretboard is not rounded its more flat than other guitars that makes playing a lot easyer and faster.

CON:
The weight balance makes it a little hard to play standing, but easy to adapt.

HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!

  • Alnico Classic Plus(TM) Humbucker pickups
  • Rosewood fretboard

Epiphone G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony Overview


This Epiphone G-400 is truly one of the best values in the guitar industry. Every serious guitar player wants an SG, and here' a real one that sounds as good as it looks. Put on your short pants and reach all the frets on this carved SG Mahogany body with a set, Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard and explosive tone with high-output Alnico Classic and Alnico Classic Plus Humbuckers, each with separate volume and tone controls. Add the Epiphone LocTone locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece to increase the sustain even more.


Epiphone G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony Specifications


A true icon guitar, the SG was originally a successor Les Paul model from '61 to '68. This edition of the prized 1962 SG boasts the power and merciless sustain you expect to shake you all night long. It's constructed of a Mahogany neck glued into a Mahogany body with twin Alnico Classic Humbucking pickups.

The Power and Merciless Sustain You Expect.

Alnico V humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays.

Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony

Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 SG Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony Review



I have played guitar for over 20 years and seldom, if ever have I been so pleased by the performance of a guitar.
The action is great: 24 frets and no dead spots. It plays just as evenly on one end of the fretboard as it does on the other.
The sound is classic: great crunch chord sounds and surprisingly subtle when necessary. Think "Children of The Sea" and "Sign of The Southern Cross" or "Symptom of The Universe". Rich, full, fat bottom sounds and beautiful clarity in the higher regions when soloing.
This guitar also looks cool as well: the cross inlays are nice without being gaudy and also Iommi's signature is noticeable without being overbearing. The guitar is practical, looks good and performs like a dream.
I don't know what weight problem the previous review was referring to but this guitar is great and I smile to myself each time I pick it up to play.

Epiphone PR-150 Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Sunburst

Epiphone PR-150 Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Sunburst Review



I read a lot of reviews on Musician's Friend before I chose this "cheap" guitar over other cheap guitars. I believe the reviews were right - this is a really great sounding guitar with a good appearance. And it costs very little!

Sure the tuning keys are a bit imprecise, but they're good enough to effectively tune the guitar. I'm a beginner at guitar, but I play other instruments (and I have a well developed ear). This guitar has a good round sound; the only minor complaint I have is the 4th string sounds a little dead compared to the rest. I'm not sure if it's the string itself or the acoustics of the guitar. Still, it's very minor and I'm very sensitive to sound quality (so it's probably within tolerances for average guitars).

I love the appearance of this Vintage Sunburst. I think it has much more character than the natural wood version.

In all, I doubt anyone can find a measurably better acoustic guitar for less than this.

I love it, can't get enough of it. I have it hooked up to a line6 and the FVB Express board, I don't think there is a sound that it can't make. It plays easy, I'm used to acoustics Ovation mostly and I love the way they play. When I tried this the first time it was like I had to keep looking to be sure it was my hands that were playing it. Very happy I got it.
One complaint when it came it was lose in the box it fell out of the Epiphone box into the shipping box and strings were broken. They sent me a new set but come on tape the box shut. either they were setting it up and forgot to pack it back right or someone was using it. Luckily their was no other damage I could see and not other finger prints. It took me a while to calm down but once I did I sunk deep into this guitar. You may lose your wife or girlfriend, fair warning I keep getting up in the middle of the night to try something I dreamed up.

The Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 Electric Guitar is a Gibson-authorized version of their great '66 SG with a solid mahogany body and slim-taper set mahogany neck. Some subtle-yet-significant differences make this one special. Instead of the small, lower horn-only pickguard, it has the larger pickguard so there aren't any pickup mounting rings around the high-output Alnico Classic humbuckers (the '66 SG had P-90 pickups). Separate volume and tone controls for each of the pickups give you complete control of your sound. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and string changing easier. The deep double-cutaway lets you reach all 22 frets with ease.

NOTE: I purchased this product through a local guitar shop, so this review in no way speaks of the quality of delivery or customer service you would obtain ordering through this website.

A few weeks ago, I sold my Fender American Deluxe Strat. I wanted to replace it with something a little newer with a similar style. My other guitar is an Epiphone LP Standard with a gritty tone and great sustain that spends most of its time in Drop-C, so this guitar will mainly stay in standard/Drop-D tuning. My musical styles range from contemporary Christian/worship (Hillsong, Tomlin, etc.) to hardcore/metal (A7X, Atreyu, As I Lay Dying), so my guitars need to be diverse in their playstyles.

When I first got the guitar home, I noticed it was much taller than my Epi Standard. I had read online that it was heavy compared with guitars of a similar composition, but I'm used to solid-bodies, so it was actually very light despite the greater length. Reviews I've read say that it would be heavy to hold for a performance, but I disagree. If you're used to a solid body, it's very light and comfortable.

But I know that what everyone cares about is playability, so here goes. The first thing I noticed is the clean, beautiful tone that it produces even when unplugged. It's not a replacement for an acoustic by any means, but it's definitely worthy of being played unplugged for practice. Amped with clean settings, it has a very warm tone and produces a stronger output than either my Epi or the Fender with Noiseless pickups.

As for distorted/metal settings, it still has a strong, thick tone, thanks largely to the dual humbuckers which I find to be entirely adequate for all playstyles. It doesn't have great resonance and pinch harmonics are very finicky (read: difficult) with it, but it has good sustain for a semi-hollow body, and is definitely playable for a heavier style of music.

Overall, I have no complaints about this guitar. The strap attaches on the back of the body, which I'm not used to, but is comfortable after a minute or two of adjusting. For the money, this guitar absolutely shines, and for lefties, it's one of the few well-priced, well-equipped machines out there.
