Personally I'd say go epiphone, it's cheaper, it sounds fine, and the important thing is learning to play well. The guitar doesn't make a huge difference, especially the body, as long as it is comfortable. So my advice would be, try out the Epiphone and try out the Gibson. Ignore the sound. Focus on the comfort, the evenness of the frets, the feel etc. If you still think the feel of the Gibson is worth 2k more, buy that. Although 2.5k for a guitar sounds like an overkill regardless, there are good Gibsons going for much less. If you don't think the feel is worth the extra price, go for the Epiphone with good pickups.Mondayman said:Just curious, how do you think your modified Epiphone holds up to a Gibson?
I'm wanting an LP, but can't decide if its worth buying a Gibson for $2500 or an Epiphone and some good pickups (Pearly Gates or Whole Lotta Humbuckers).
My cousin has an expensive strat, I think it costed about 1.5k. I've tried it out and while it does feel and sound better than my 250 euro Squire, and it is definitely very comfortable, my bandmate has a Jaguar which he bought for around the same price I bought my strat, and honestly it beats the super pricey strat in terms of comfort, and the sound is pretty damn nice too. Super pricey guitars are overrated.
