My daughter turned 13 and all she wanted was her first guitar!

Lefty Epiphone SG Tribute in cherry burst. She couldn't be happier!

This is a phenomenal guitar. I grabbed it from Sweetwater a while back as "open box", but the rep confirmed it wasn't a return, just had a scratch on the bridge from either packing or unpacking. Otherwise, there wasn't a mark on it.

I have a MIK standard that is highly regarded for an Epiphone, and this is definitely on another level. I played some Gibson LP Studios that were several hundred dollars more than this, and they were on par in my opinion. And this has nicer pickups, real MoP inlays, and a one-piece body. It's definitely a keeper.

Just got my replacement Epiphone IBG Hummingbird today! It feels amazing, sounds amazing and smells amazing! I can't keep my nose out of the sound hole 😂

Do they make locking tuners that drop right in matching these?

I’ve struggled to find any that are the same.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

Tried one out today and fell in love. I've always wanted to try a grabber bass and honestly it was such a nice playing experience. I tried out the regular grabber and the Mike Dirnt G3 and the G3 was a far better to play and had a much wider range of sound.

The biggest downside for me is that I don't dig the silver burst or the dark fretboard as much. Like its not bad, i wouldn't regret owning it, but I adore the classic grabber bass look and would choose that hands down if it was available at the same price as the silver burst. However the natural doesnt seem to be available anywhere and is even sold out on the Gibson online store atm, though theres a "notify me when available" button so they might come back in stock.

The thing is theyre £1199 on gibsons website, natural or burst, but Guitar Guitar has the burst at £999 and they're as low as £700 second hand for the silver burst. I'm 100% gonna buy one either second hand or from guitar guitar cus the price is right but its weird that nowhere has the natural and that theyre all silver burst.

Its not the end of the world. I love how it plays and sounds so how it looks isnt as important, and it doesnt look bad it just doesn't scratch that itch quite the same for me and im curious why the classic look doesnt seem to be anywhere.

Anybody got this bass or found the natural out in the wild? How are you enjoying it so far?

Epiphone’s been on a roll lately, but people still bag on them. Just wanted to make a video showing why you would buy one of these over a Gibson. Also can’t wait for the new Prophecys to come out! What do you think?

2005 Les Paul Special II. Body has 2 cracks. Really bad shape overall, but it plays pretty well. Looking for some cheap tuners, the current ones have seen MUCH better days.

also, does anyone know what the gel coat is made out of? i’m guessing it’s not old enough for nitro…

Hola amigos estoy averiguando con un negocio que vende guitarras nuevas y es un lugar confiable y de renombre, por una Epiphone Ej160E, me enviaron foto del numero de serie y parece ser de Mayo 2025. Lo extraño es que después le consulte a chatGPT y me dice que se fabricaron hasta 2016, pero se que hubo una reedición en 2023. Alguno compro este modelo y me confirma si existe la versión 2025? No quisiera comprar una clon

This is my first time owning a Les Paul. I’ve wanted a custom for a long time, so when I saw this offered in this color I knew I had to get one.

Purple is my favorite color and I’m a huge fan of sparkle finishes. I ordered this one without playing one as there weren’t any in stock by me but I did get a chance to play the ebony version and it played like a dream.

This one isn’t too heavy and seems to be well built. It might need a couple tweaks since the action was a bit high but I’m excited to put it through my rigs today!

I Like the Look of a full.black Pickguard more so i painted it with an permanent Marker :D

I bought my first electric (second hand) some 20 odd years ago

It’s a 1999 samick factory G-400. One of the best SG’s ever made! (In my opinion 😅)

Made a poor financial decision, or maybe not.

(Excuse the risky photo, it is on a proper stand I promise)

So I bought a new guitar, Epiphone flying v prophecy and for about a month it was working good but now sometimes when I switch from the neck pickup to the bridge pickup the bridge pickup or the neck pickup goes mute it is not that often but is a bit frustrating

Should I go to a Luthier?

Please help

I finally saw the Epiphone 80s explorer (white) was back in stock so I quickly spent my hard earned 900+ dollars on it because it’s just like James hetfields from the 80s (huge Metallica fan)
And I was very disappointed when I opened the box to find a scuffed up & scratched explorer with a battery already inside of it & plastics removed from the guitar aswell as a loose volume knob that was about to fall out of the body, this was my first time ordering anything from epiphone and I am super disappointed.

Was doing a bit of a dive for a Les Paul Custom, scrolling through Reverb listings and the usual "legit" listings on eBay. Decided to go on YouTube and saw American Music Supply posted a video around a year ago regarding their exclusive limited line of Les Paul Customs.

What caught my eye in the video is that "ProBucker Customs" were used for 6 of the models, while the 7th (the black beauty pictured here) were said to "use Epiphone's own Custombuckers." Checked their site to see if it'd be Gibson USA Custombuckets in the specs, similar to the 1957 Epiphone IBGC Les Paul Custom.

Instead: Three Epiphone Custombuckers.

Alongside that, it has 3 Volumes and one Master Tone - Frampton 'Phenix' wiring. For $829.99, I'm half tempted to simply buy one out of pure curiosity. I've never seen anyone review *this* specific model, as all Epiphone 3 pickup LP Customs typically refer back to the Sweetwater IBGC, or older models prior to the IBG update.

This guitar is sick

That Green Pearl really pops against the classic SG body!
