Neither....I'll save my pennies for a Brian Moore i2.13 in Tobacco-burst!!! :32: :32: :32:

The expensive Epi. I think they're a much better value. The cheaper Gibsons (like the Faded series) just seem really shoddy quality-wise.

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

which would I choose based on what? resale value, collecters value, playability, over all value, feel, stock tone...what do you want ot know?

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

just traded my epi LP custom plus for a used 2002 Gibson SG Special Faded(brown) last week and i don't miss the epi at all. the gibby was much better even with the stock pickups and electronics.

i'd go epiphone. They're probably made using the same methods and materials, and if i was getting a jazz box you'd bet that i'd choose epiphone over gibson any day.

I'd choose Heritage.

BE CAREFUL WITH EPIPHONES!!! I JUST TRIED THE EPIPHONE LES PAUL CUSTOM. THE BRIDGE PICKUP IS WICKED, I MEAN WICKED MUDDY! :yell:

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

Get the Epiphone Elitist series les paul. They run about $1000.00 for something that you would pay at least 2500.00 for if it said Gibson anywhere other than on the truss rod cover. The Elitist series Epi's are very nice.

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

Being the owner of both Gibsons and Eppiphones the Gibson line is much better! The cheaper Gibsons are made of better wood and craftsmanship.... The Eppiphones i'm repairing necks on all seem to break at the glue joints.... Glue joints should be stronger then the wood itself!

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

what models are we comparing here?
EPi LP Custom vs Gibson faded?
EPI LP elitist vs Gibson LP studio?

price diff is a couple of hundred but there's a difference there in the models.

 

[Loserchief]

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

i'd go epiphone since in most case the value you get is greater than what you get from gibson at a compareable price.

 

[Breaking the law]

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)

Epi all the way.. areound here, expencive epis cost as much as cheap Gibsons.. Except for the elitist series, which did cost as much.. But high-end Epis have high quality.. just try the Epi Iommi signature model.

Re: epiphone or gibson (yes, im serious)
