Man, must be the same thread coming back over and over again :)

This question is always asked. Just do like I did, buy a used Gibson and restore it a bit

Personnaly I'd go with the epiphone even if I'm a Gibson sell-out. Can't figure out why Gibson doesn't bring down there price a bit. Maybe because we still asks ourself which one to buy, Gibson or Epiphone.

Gibson guitars are way overrated. At least for me and I've been playing with an SG for 8 years. My friend has an epiphone and guess what? Sounds almost the same. Well he does play better than me, but that's probably the guitar....
