Q: i am getting some equipment to play some gigs and start a band and i need to know because the epiphone is much cheaper than fender but the epiphone still says they use real tubes and they do look cool

A: i would say epiphone is a rather decent brand for beginners/amateurs to start experimenting with.

If its a small gig, epiphone is fine depending on where u place your amps, the equalisations and effects you use, and also the stage set up,

Epiphone Les | Guitar Amplifiers For Sale

Is there a difference in sound between an Epiphone SG Special and an Epiphone Les Paul Special II. I was wondering because I like the sound of Gibson SG and Gibson Les Paul. There is a difference between the two Gibson models, and I was wondering if there was a difference in the sound patterns Epiphone considering they are both starting templates. I know that the Les Paul Special II has no table in maple like other Les Paul models, so they all two the same wood, just mahogany. I heard that a Gibson SG has more of a "Fender as" sound and I was wondering if the same applies to the Epiphone model....

I have a couple of early 80's reissue Stratocasters, an American Standard Fender Precision Bass, and a whole bunch of acoustics: 2 Taylor 12 strings, 2 Fraulini 12 strings, Martin OM-28V, National Style 1 Tricone, National M2, and a Gold Tone Paul...

Tube guitar amps- Fender Blues Jr. vs. Epiphone Valve Standard?
[2007-06-26 07:44:44]
Vintage Gibson Guitar Strings

I play blues at jam sessions with friends- no gigging- I've been shopping for something with tubes for my Jimmie Vaughan Strat -I've played through both at GC-can't seem to make up my mind- any input either way? They're both 15 watts, the Fender...


If you want a all tube amp and you are trying to stay at low power(the 15 watts you speak of) I would go for the Fender, its a more reliable amp then the Epiphone,but in my opinion, you should go for 30 to 50 watt tube amps, there are hundreds out there
