Benjamin asked:


I am checking out these guitars on Ebay in perfect condition with the price reduced from around $350 to $160. I have heard mixed reviews on both the Gibson and Epiphone model of these guitars, but like the sound of them. I was wondering how good the pickups are, if they go out of tune easily, the overall quality of these guitars, ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m looking at a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany $899.00 or a Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy Custom EX $849.00. I like to play some Black Sabbath, Metallica as well as some mellow tunes. I think the Gibson would be the better investment but will it give the crunch and distortion of the EX?
Thanks

Thanks but the Gibson is the bottom of the line model. Are the pickups the same quality? They aren’t EMG’s they have Alnico V burstbucker pro humbuckers. Will I still get some metal sound out of them? Why is this Les Paul $899 ans the standard is $2399.00?
Oh and by the way, some people said they would sell their Gibson to buy a Prophecy EX.
Dazed and Confused!!!!

Graham A asked:


I’m looking to buy, and honestly I can’t tell what’s special about the Fender Stratocaster, and the Fender AMERICAN Stratocaster. Besides the American being 400 more… also:

A Gibson SG and a Gibson Vintage SG

Stratocaster and an older model of one (like a 50s reissue)

I know people think Gibson is better than Epiphone, but is the difference really big enough to spend 2,000 dollars on?
