Is epiphone or Gibson better?
Gibson are far better than epiphone because Gibson bought epiphone to basically use them as a cheaper, not as good quality versions of g the Gibson models. Gibson do not only sound better but are much easier to play. although gibsons are very expenssive (sg=£600-1000 les paul=£1000-5000) i would suggest that if you can afford one, then you should buy one as it will improve your playing as well.
Why are epiphones cheaper than Gibsons?
Epiphone is very much similar to Gibson, at a cheaper price. Epiphone is owned by Gibson. Gibson makes Epiphone to give guitarists a Gibson feel, at a lower price, without sacrificing quality. Epiphone has some models of its own that Gibson doesn't, and Epiphone makes guitars with the same basic body shape and with some similar technology, hardware and electrical components. I own two Epiphones and a Les Paul, but I dont see any difference in quality between the two brands. I guess it just depends on sound taste. Gibson has a warmer feel to it, while Epiphone has a sharper sound. So basically think of Epiphone as a little brother of Gibson.
What is generally good about Epiphone guitars?
Well, for one there super cheap. Secondly, they tend to play about as good as a Gibson, compairing the Standard Gibson with the Epiphone, and thirdly, they sound good with pretty much any amp, they can be used for almost any type of music, and are quite a bit lighter, weight wise, than a gibson. From a personal standpoint, I have a couple guitars, and one of them is the Epiphone Les Paul Special II, Another is the Dean Vendetta Camo, I play them on a Line6 spider III, and the Epiphone has more tone for metal, the epiphone has more tone for solos, the epiphone sounds better on the clean channel, (but only when play rythm) and it looks alot better than the Dean, now I know there are some differences between the two, but I do preffer the Epiphone over the Dean, however to be fair, I will say this, the Dean has a MUCH faster neck than the Epiphone, and the Dean's all (even the cheapest, most crapy playing) have 24 fretts to Epiphone's (all that I know of) 22 frets. I am going to turn the Dean guitar in for Epiphone Standard Les Paul, but first I will change the pickups in the epiphone for Gibsons, just for Giggles. And I'll update when I do.
Which is better the Gibson sg or the epiphone sg?
Yes, and Epiphone is also a side brand of Gibson. Gibson is better quality.AnswerGibsons are *usually* better than Epiphones. However, I have played $400-$600 Epiphone archtops (Dots, Rivieras and Casinos, which are Epiphone interpretations of Gibson's ES-330 and ES-335 designs) that feel and look better than $1000 Gibson ES-333s. I have never played an Epiphone Les Paul, SG, Firebird, Flying V or Explorer that can surpass a Gibson, though, which leads me to believe that Epiphone does a better job on its archtop semi-hollow electric guitars than on "budget versions" of Gibson's solidbody designs. And for the record, Epiphone was not always a budget-priced subsidiary of Gibson. The two companies were rivals until Gibson bought out Epiphone in 1957. Epiphone did have unique, non-Gibson-affiliated designs of its own, such as the Emperor and the Broadway. Vintage, pre-Gibson-takeover Epiphones can command prices and have build quality comparable to Gibsons of the same age.
Is Les Paul Gibson standard better than Les Paul Gibson studio?
If you are looking for just hard rock sound, go with the Gibson. If you like Fender's strat/tele bright sound AND fat rock sound, go with the PRS. I found Fender fans tend to like PRS guitars.

Is a gender stratocaster better than a Gibson les paul?

Which is better Gibson Baldwin or epiphone?
Gibson Baldwin is an educational series Les Paul Style Guitar. They have some budget features hence the low price, for example "bolt-on neck" instead of "set-in neck". Interestingly, they have the trademark Gibson "Open-book" Headstock design. Usually this design is reserved for Gibson USA models. Not even the Gibson Epiphone series has this style headstock. Made in China however Chinese instruments are gaining a positive reputation, quality from China is improving rapidly and the Gibson Baldwin is good value for the money.
What should I buy the Epiphone Les Paul Special 2 or the Epiphone Les Paul Special 2 GT I like the Special 2 GT more than the Special 2 but the GT has tuning problems. Why Which one should I get?
in my opinion, the epiphone les paul special 2 is the best in my choice. i had mine for about over a year now and it is a great guitar for beginners like me. plus it is very affordable and it also looks good. the GT just looks a little better and it has more bonuses to it. but i would go for the special 2.
Where are Epiphone Guitars made other than Korea or China?
yes, in fact there is! they also make them in china and japan. but do not worry about the quality of the guitar cuz its still a Gibson guitar. Gibson also makes its Epiphone brand guitars in Asia. in my mind, Gibson `s that are made in the USA and Japan are a little better in sound than a Gibson`s from china. Chinese Gibson guitars are built to get the point across, but not to the true Gibson feel. so if you get one made there dont worry about the sound or looks. I mean A Gibson Is A Gibson.
