gibson pickups comparison
Guys… How to make Epi LP sound exactly like Gibby LP???
ive seen comparison vids of ppl comparing epiphone and gibson les pauls…..and most of them said the diference is not that noticable, only a couple of things… 1 resale value (obivously) 2 the pickups are not as hot..and 3 built quality 4 gibson brand name
resale, and gibson name i can live without…cuz usualy i keep all guitars i buy, also i couldnt care less about gibson on my headstock..
but about the quality and pickups….. if i can find a well built epi and i swap out the pick ups for some really nice ones….do i pretty much have a guitar just as good sound and quality wise as a Gibson?? honestly i dont wanna spend 2000+ i can afford it ..i just dont want to if i can buy one for 500 bucks + dope pickups 800 bucks
I have been saying for a long time that Gibsons are WAY overpriced. I’ve played a few Epi LPs and a few Gibson LPs, as far as playability and build quality, I couldn’t tell much of a difference.
The wiring, pots and pickups are a better quality in the Gibsons. But the wood, binding and hardware all looked about equal. In fact, I’ve seen a few Gibson necks (especially on the SGs) that looked downright ragged.
I say if you absolutly HAVE to have an LP, the Epi with the upgrades you mentioned, sound like a good way to go.
Good luck.
