Guitar fans tend to have pretty strong opinions about what sound they like. A lot of people are into Fender guitars. Fenders traditionally have single coil pickups which leads to a thinner, sharper, and dirtier tone. It has a lot of definition, and sounds good in certain kinds of distorted rock ‘n roll. Nonetheless, I’ve always been a fan of Gibson guitars. They’re sort of the main competitor of Fender. My Gibson Epiphone guitar uses fatter, double coil pickups. What this does is to fatten up the sound. It stresses low harmonics over high ones, giving it a mellower, deeper sound. It also cleans up the tone a little bit and gets rid of some electromagnetic interference. In my opinion, It gives you the best sound in rock ‘n roll.

I used to want to get a Gibson custom guitar. As a matter of fact, the only reason I got my Gibson Epiphone guitar was because I couldn’t afford to get anything more expensive. Epiphones, you see, are the Gibson starter line. They are less expensive, less showy looking, and tend to be manufactured overseas for lower prices.

I had planned to play my Gibson Epiphone guitar for about a year and then invest in a more expensive Gibson Les Paul or custom ax. After playing it for little over a month, however, I get used to it. I was pretty impressed by the quality. I could get just the sound I wanted, the action was pretty much perfect, and the instrument looked to be solidly made. I know Gibson Epiphone guitars are supposed to be inferior instruments to the mainstream Gibson series, but honestly I can hardly tell the difference. Maybe one day when I am a true expert I will upgrade, but until then I’m doing just fine with what I have.

Honestly, with electric guitars, personal preference is pretty much everything. I had a great time with my Gibson Epiphone guitar, but I know a lot of people who don’t really enjoy playing Gibsons. It really depends on your guitar, how it is set up, what kind of speaker you are playing it through, what effects you’re using, what strings you’re using, and what sort of playing style you have. There are so many factors at work that it is unlikely that two people will ever have exactly the same experience, whether good or bad, on the same guitar. The best thing to do is to go into a music shop where they take good care of their guitars and try a few out. Pick up a Gibson Epiphone guitar, but also pick up Fenders, Gretsch guitars, and anything else that appeals to you. You will know it when you are holding the right guitar in hand.

The name “Epiphone” is a combination of proprietor Epaminondas Stathopoulos’ nickname “Epi” and “phone”, Greek for “sound”. There has been some amount of confusion surrounding the pronunciation of the name, with some people pronouncing it ‘Epi-fone’, while others tend to pronounce it ‘Epif-uh-nee’, similar to the English word “Epiphany”.
