Yes, thats true, I dont know any great musician, who started to play on expensive guitar, they all were poor and started with old crap and I think that those hard times give them influence, not like those rich lazy fat boys with Gibson les pauls or strats, who plays 3chord songs and acts like guitar heroes :D
bottom line, you don't have to be an elitist-douche to be a good musician. most of those high end, high-strung musicians never worked a day in their lives anyway.
I love my Epis as much as my Gibsons. The Epis have taken alot more abuse, and play and sound just as good as the Gibson, so anybody who says Epiphone sucks compared to Gibson, go fuck yourself
Who are you calling an idiot? Why because I refuse to pay 4K for a guitar that has less features than my other instruments? No, I'm not the idiot here. by the way, I'm as much a fan of Fender as I am of any other well made NON-OVERPRICED axe. Gibson has great guitars, granted, they just can't seem to understand this ordeal called "the current economy". So before you go splurging in yet another undocumented and false description of me___come to the realization, Gibson doesn't care.
the best musicians in history never had fancy guitars- they all started how young and poor- like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Brian May (made his own guitar), David Lindley (specilizes in using cheap deptartment store guitars to make unique sounds), etc. its about working with t=what you have to make something good
I hate how epiphone turned out. It's like honda buying toyota and making toyotas crap and making a toyota civic which is cheaper and crappier than a honda civic
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Gibsons, are undeniably better than Epiphones. The tone, the sound, the handling. However, Gibsons are for those with true passion for guitar. For those who want more than just to look cool, but also appreciate the history of electric guitars. If you're playing will disgrace the Gibson name. Don't play one. Learn on an Epiphone, hone your skills. Gibsons, are for life. And dont juts want a Les Paul,I play an ES-335, because its perfect for the performance I want. But Epiphones arnt bad either.
@salerac buy an Epiphone Les Paul but over time replace the parts with Gibson pickups, tuners, and all that crap. eventually it will be pretty much as good as the real mccoy
wow. . . harsh. . Ive played many a venue and when it hits the fan its the intensity, conviction and talent that spur me. the most amazing musicians are usually playing destroyed out of date machinery. . the pretty people have the new shiney 3000 dollar guitars. . however this is a generalization . . much like yours
i tend to think that whether its branded original or copied...its not really the matter of whose got the best guitar by the best brands...it really is the player himself....how talented he or she is in the music they make....whether its rock,jazz or even blues....its when your optimistic enough to see then that's when we won't make remarks like you suck or he sucks or what so ever...everyone is entitled to what they like playing..don't you think so?....So Ori or Not...Play well play hard...Peace
I'm an older cat and have been fortunate to have been able to play guitar professionally during my twenties as a session player, and must stand up and fucking applaud you. It's nice to see a young rocker like you realize what music is all about in this day and age of posturing and disrespect. There are too many kids being immature, taking the low road and talking shit, but you tell like it is. Keep it up, you got the right idea!
the reason why so many people put so much importance in having a gibson over an epiphone is because they suck at guitar. anybody who plays well and has talent can make a $200 epiphone sound better than a poser with a gibson.
well, every company tries to make a quick buck off of a famous design. BC rich with it's Bronze series, Gibson with it's Faded and Studio series, Gretsch and their Electromatic series, et cetera.
i completely agree, i got an epiphone firebird studio for $450 and its sounds better than anyone elses guitar in my school and their all rich kids with gibson les pauls and fender strats. mind you i'm not the best at playing but i can hold my own. so brand really doesnt matter
I have a special. That's why it sucks so much. Once you spend about 300 bucks on an epi though, they blur the line of quality between gibsons and epis. I know that I couldn't tell the difference between a zakk wylde epi and a gibson model.
That is my experience as well. I've made a series of videos on inexpensive guitars. You don't have to spend a fortune--just "enough". It's hard to beat an Epiphone for the price--AND they have a large selection of different models to boot!
I tested out the cheaper SG and didn't like it. Then I tried the G400 that I got for a great price and it's great! I have none of the problems mentioned here--and it's one of the most played guitars in my collection. Fast neck, beautiful finish, great tone and inexpensive. Can't beat that with a stick. See my vid on it.
