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.
epiphone is owned by Gibson. they cheaper because they are made in other countries like Korea and Indonesia. they do that so that u can have somthing more affordable than a Gibson.
also they use cheaper materials
Proper Gibsons are not made in China. They are made in America and some are made in Canada. Gibsons made in China are fake. Unless you talking about Epiphone. Whose quality is questionable from time to time considering the price.
On Gibsons homepage
Most of today's epiphones are made in China, Korea, Japan, and the US respectively.
Tony Iommi has always used Gibsons.
Nope. He plays the proper Gibsons. But he does have an Epiphone signature guitar, a couple in fact.
Ibanez are made for soloing.
paul reed smith just look at the price range but if your on a budjet go with epiphone
Fenders normally cost much less than Gibsons and are still quality guitars. Their body shapes are optimised so people can play them easily. However, Stratocasters are so common they're an eyesore for some. Gibsons are also quite varied and have loads of different combinations of pickups, woods, body styles etc. Basically, if you're getting your first guitar, get a Fender or Squier (subsidiary of Fender that make cheaper Fenders), but if you really want Gibson at a lower price, Epiphone (subsidiary of Gibson) make cheaper versions of Gibsons. While some are, admittedly, badly made, some, like their Les Paul Standard, are just as popular as Gibsons and cost thousands of dollars less. Do some research and NEVER BUY STRAIGHT FROM THEIR SITE - local dealers often have them cheaper. But make sure they're in good condition.
Gibsons Games was created in 1919.
there were 66 gibsons
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.
The Squire guitars are very inexpensive and are good for beginners. They are made by Fender for beginners. If you want a better quality at a low cost look at the Epiphone guitars. Epiphones are made by Gibson as a beginner guitar, but are more expensive than the Squires. Squires cost within $100 - $200, and Epiphones have a wider range, from around $300 - $1500. You could also find a used guitar for much cheaper that has better quality. Just check the prices and availability as well as playing the guitar before you buy to get a feel for it.
