The perfect Epiphone Budget Guitars for Starters

A large element of picking a beginners guitar when you are in the market for a new guitar depends on your talent range. Gibson guitars are high-end electric guitars, yet especially high-priced. More costly than a beginner guitarist might want to spend. One fact you may not know is that Gibson guitars has numerous completely different manufacturers underneath its belt, including a great beginners level guitar brand, Epiphone guitars.

Epiphone Guitars look, sound, and feel similar to their more expensive Gibson cousins. Why do they cost less? First, Epiphones are built offshore where manual labor costs are minimal, whereas Gibson guitars are made in Nashville, Tennessee. Next, Epiphone Les Pauls are made of ordinary mahogany varieties; Gibson guitars use uncommon Honduran mahogany. Gibson guitars also uses an intensive finish procedure; Epiphone employs a more cost-effective catalyzed finish.

Since Epiphones are made offshore, doesn't essentially imply they are low quality. For instance, Les Paul pickups are made to Epiphone's exacting specification. They're double- dipped in wax and quality- by Epiphone engineers at each stage of development. It's this attention-to-detail that sets Epiphone apart. And it is these precise details that provide the incredibly rich, creamy tone which proves this axe a favourite of blues, jazz, and rock players. Epiphone's devotion to music is reflected by a limited lifetime guarantee on all of its models, no matter price.

Listed here are my personal recommendations for the very best Epiphone guitars for beginners.

Epiphone Les Paul Special II
-
Probably the most reasonably priced Gibson guitars, the Epiphone Les Paul Special II is nice for beginners for many factors. For one, it is cheap. You can get the Les Paul Special II for under $199 easily, which is inexpensive. Not only is this guitar affordable, it surely is tremendously versatile as well. Whether or not you are aspire to be a metal guitarist or simply wish to rock with some buddies, this guitar will work for you. Including a mahogany wood neck and a rosewood fingerboard, this axe not only sounds good, but is beautiful as well.

Epiphone Les Paul 100
-
The Epiphone Les Paul 100 is the electric guitar you will want, if you are starting to get serious about your music. The mahogany wood body with maple top provides classic solid, heavy sound whereas the bolt-on mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard are simple to perform. Features 700T/650R open-coil humbucking pickups and chrome hardware. The Epiphone Les Paul 100 electric guitar features traditional Les Paul design and sound. This truly is a great axe for all ranges of guitar playing. It might be a tad more expensive than the other guitars in this article ($299). However it is worth it since you can use it all through your axe playing profession.

Epiphone G-310 SG
-
The G-310 is a little more costly than the previous two electric guitars, but not by a lot. Between $199 and $249, this guitar is still terrific for novices however does not sacrifice as much in features. What the G-310 does superior over the earlier 2 guitars is that it handles both harsh and warm distortion nicely. Just like the previous electric guitars, the G-310 has a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, so you're definitely getting a quality Gibson guitar with any of the 3 choices.

Epiphone SG Special
-
Another electric guitar under $200, Gibson's Epiphone SG-Special guitar is a excellent beginner axe. This guitar is a replica of the original Gibson legendary SG, so it is a classic guitar. The SG-Special is a standard rock guitar, so there are not any special bells and whistles, but it does boast 2 open-coil humbucking pickups, a rosewood fretboard like the Les Paul Special II, and an exquisite sound for such an affordable electric guitar. A great aspect of the Epiphone SG-Special is that it is available in numerous optional colors, so whatever your persona there's a guitar for you.

I'd be happy to recommend any of these Epiphone guitars to a beginner, though I would recommend spending a couple of extra bucks to get the Les Paul 100 or G-310 SG. Starting out you may not notice the difference, but you'll quickly grow out of the other 2 electric guitars and wish you had the versatility of the Les Paul 100 or G-310.
