-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these are artists that play epiphones, note the vast diversity of musician styles. Jackson is simply a heavy metal and lead guitar.

ANSWER
EPIPHONES ARE TONES BETTER I OWN A EPIPHONE LES PAUL CUSTOM ITS AMAZING AND MY BRO OWNS A EPIPHONE SG G-400 THERE BOTH AWSOME!
Perhaps a link would have worked too.
Fender guitars have allot of quality if you want to go original. Epiphone guitars are also good guitars but much cheaper than Fender. So the brand names are..Epiphone and Fender
The U.S.
depends on ur personal likings, heavier stuff scheter
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.
No
to make a better sound than acoustic guitars
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.
No, a Johnson guitar is NOT better than a Squire...Johnson guitars are junk.
Indeed its a really good guitar. I think the sound and the sustain is better than epiphones one. Epiphone is not worth the price, its just the name. So, yes, tanglewood eletric guitars are really good and are well finished also, so its completely worth buying it.
its a matter of taste, BC Rich is more metal, Epiphone is more traditional rock. My friend payed 700 or 800 for a les paul epiphone and its nowhere near as good as my warlock.. all my friends like the sound and lightness of my warlock a lot more. All different people from blues and alternative to thrash metal would rather the warlock. all bc rich guitars have 24 frets meaning more solo possibilities the paints harder to chip MUCH cheaper, 500$ will buy you a much better guitar than from epiphone very light guitar to play on stage all my BC Rich guitars never had any problems with and their both about 5 years old a lot of BC Rich guitars have Floyd roses, not too many gibsons (or epiphones) come with them epiphone is overrated to me and overpriced but they do sound good otherwise they wouldn`t be around as long, just my opinion.
NO ONE and NO BAND is better then Michael Jackson
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.
