You can still enjoy a full, sustaining sound with all of those powerful midrange frequencies, but without slumping over mid-set with a broken shoulder! Truly, these guitars are only around 3.5kg in weight! This Lite model adds chambering to the body to remove that age-old problem of the Les Paul’s notorious weight. Epiphone outdo themselves here by including a proper Ebony fingerboard, too! The rich, dark fingerboard contrasts brilliantly with the White body and gold hardware to paint a picture of true Rock n Roll opulence. Possibly one of the most handsome guitars available anywhere, the Les Paul Custom is a stylish and very capable powerhouse of tone. If you’ve never tried an Epiphone Casino, you’re missing out! Even the neck joint (the Casino’s neck is noticeably further into the body than similar guitars) provides a feel and influence on your playing that’s unique. The Casino offers an entirely fresh playing experience for those who are used to solid body instruments. The only difference, of course, is the lush Orange finish! We think this is a great fit for the Casino: it doesn’t undo any of that retro magic, but it does make the whole guitar ‘pop’ more, for a tasteful yet bold look that will enhance the stage presence of any performer. This edition preserves all of the correct vintage details like twin P90s pickups, small-block inlays and the fully hollow body (not semi, like the 335) for an authentic experience. It’s a song-player’s guitar, rather than a soloist’s, with a gorgeous, percussive voice that rings well and has lovely resonance. We mentioned the Casino earlier and yes, the Beatles connection is a pretty massive draw! John Lennon loved the Casino, but so have many other players, from Paul Weller to Thom Yorke and The Edge. There are some real beauties here, so if you don’t mind indulging us, we’d like to show you just one or two. Recently, we took a shipment of some fantastic, super-limited examples of such instruments. These are small, exclusive editions that sell out and are usually never repeated. Sometimes, Epiphone release limited runs of guitars in special finishes. There are so many excellent Epiphone guitar models to choose from, too: whether you love the Beatles-used hollow body Casino or the Rock mainstay SG, there’s a ton of musical history to be had at your fingertips, and at some very affordable prices, too! There are major differences between Gibson and Epiphone guitars that shouldn't be downplayed just because Epiphones are really cheap.Epiphone guitars are some of the coolest out there.Īffordable, classic, and with a history that beats any other brand (and we’re not ever talking about the Gibson association.), Epiphone have a cool, everyman-with-style vibe that any guitar brand would want. To get started, I'll summarize my comparison by highlighting where the two guitars differ and where they are essentially the same. It'll also tell you what you'd be losing if you were to go the Epiphone route. This will tell you exactly what you're paying for should you buy a Gibson Les Paul. Instead of saying "they're basically the same" (they're not) or saying that Gibson is so dramatically different that you shouldn't even bother with an Epiphone, we're actually comparing to two to see where the quality differences are. In this comparison, I'm putting the Epiphone Les Paul Standard (the '50s model), next to the Gibson Les Paul Standard (the '60s model), and comparing each item on their spec sheets to see exactly where the two are different. What are you losing when you buy an Epiphone Les Paul instead of the Gibson version? Epiphone and Gibson Les Pauls are hard to distinguish at first glance, yet there's a vast pricing difference between the two guitars.
