Luna Athena Semi Hollowbody Electric Guitar - White Review

and she is smoking hot.
Beautiful white with a glorious neck in the vintage art deco style. I am in love.
I just started playing guitar and I bought a cheaper decent starter guitar for my first. Kept it for a week and then bought Blanche.
I did my research on Luna and fell in love with the company and their goals. As a new female player it is awesome to find a community that supports female guitar players.
I don't know a great deal about guitars yet, but I do know that the Athena sounds so sexy. I paired it with a Marshall practice amp and geeze the sound is 200% different then my $200 guitar.
The neck profile is perfect for my smaller, new guitarist hands. And really even when I play a wrong note it sounds so good I don't care.
I am taking it in tomorrow to a local shop for a custom set up.

Epiphone LP Standard Plus-Top Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst Review

Epiphone LP Standard Plus-Top Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought my Epiphone Les Paul Standard a little over 4 years ago, and it's been my main guitar ever since! If you're looking for the essentials of a Les Paul but for a fraction of the price of a Gibson (not to mention the weight...your shoulders and back will love you for it!), you just can't beat an Epiphone!
I've heard many times from other musicians I've talked to that an Epiphone Les Paul is not a "real" Gibson, it's a Les Paul "copy", etc. These couldn't be any further from the truth. Epiphone is a Gibson company and they use all Gibson manufactured pickups, electronics and hardware. The chief difference between Gibsons and Epiphones is where they're manufactured; Gibsons are assembled in Nashville and Epiphones in Korea. Both are constructed with mahogany bodies and rosewood fretboards, but the only other difference is that Gibson uses AA grade or higher maple for the tops and necks and Epiphone uses mahogany for the necks and alder for the tops.
Many players believe that heavier woods makes a difference in the tone, and in some instances, that's true. But I've played a Gibson LP Standard and an Epiphone LP Standard back to back through the same amp and I heard virtually no difference in the tone. The only thing different between the two was the weight, that's all. The Epiphone was lighter and easier to play sitting down and especially standing, and to me, it sounded every bit as good as the Gibson played both clean and "dirty" (distorted).
In my band, I play my Epiphone through a 100-watt Marshall combo amp; with the main settings on the amp all set on 5 and miked up through the PA, the sound is incredible; if you're up close to the stage, it'll take your head off! I'm not knocking Gibsons at all; I owned one myself once before and loved it. They're nice guitars and worth owning one if you've got the bread to buy it. But if you're on a "budget" like most people, I say dare to compare and simply let your ears be your guide; strap on an Epiphone, crank it up and just let it rip...I guarantee you'll love it!

Epiphone LP Custom Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Ebony Review

I love it, can't get enough of it. I have it hooked up to a line6 and the FVB Express board, I don't think there is a sound that it can't make. It plays easy, I'm used to acoustics Ovation mostly and I love the way they play. When I tried this the first time it was like I had to keep looking to be sure it was my hands that were playing it. Very happy I got it.
One complaint when it came it was lose in the box it fell out of the Epiphone box into the shipping box and strings were broken. They sent me a new set but come on tape the box shut. either they were setting it up and forgot to pack it back right or someone was using it. Luckily their was no other damage I could see and not other finger prints. It took me a while to calm down but once I did I sunk deep into this guitar. You may lose your wife or girlfriend, fair warning I keep getting up in the middle of the night to try something I dreamed up.

Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Custom GX Electric Guitar, Dirty Finger Pickups Review

Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Custom GX Electric Guitar, Dirty Finger Pickups
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Absolutely stunning finish - hand-rubbed black cherry quilted maple. The white binding around the body and fretboard is visually appealing and the gold hardware complements the finish beautifully. After some very minor adjustments, the two-octave 24-fret neck is now straight as an arrow, and the action is extremely low without fret buzz. It plays like butter. I replaced my pickups with less aggressive sounding gold covered '59s. Unbelievable difference! I get smooth mellow bass and articulate treble response. Plus it has coil tapping to get a great single-coil sound. This Les Paul Custom lives up to its name and can do it all - jazz, blues, rock, metal, even country. Why spend nearly $4,000 on a Gibson LP Custom when you can have this beauty for only $799!

With its Black Cherry, hand-rubbed body and gold hardware, the new Les Paul GX is breathtakingly beautiful. But, don't let its good looks fool you. At the heart of this LP are Gibson USA's custom Dirty Fingers pickups which have been called "the critical unique between power and dirt." With very aggresive tone Dirty Fingers pickups are perfect for those who play tuned down nu-metal and other equally hard-hitting styles. A coil-tap push/pull volume control lets you switch from humbucker to single-coil mode for non-traditional tonal flexibility.

Don't let its good looks fool you.

Epiphone's Prophecy Line The new Prophecy Collection features four distinct shapes that all share common features. In addition to the guitar style, the model either is an EX (EMG active or the new EpiActive pickups), GX (Gibson USA pickups), or FX (original Floyd Rose Tremolo). Common features include highly figured quilt Maple tops, 24-fret SpeedTaper satin necks, jumbo frets, unique "blade" inlays, Epiphone's new, patent-applied-for Straplocks, hand-stained colors and eye-catching Pearl knobs. Because they're all "Customs", they all have bound bodies and necks. The new Prophecy Collection takes advantage of all the design work and testing we've been doing over the past two to three years.

Bound Headstock All Prophecy guitars feature a bound headstock and fingerboard for a smooth feel and clean look.
Precision Tuners Grover machine heads provide professional tuning accuracy and stability.
Pro Hardware All Prophecy guitars feature professional hardware including premium metal knobs with pearl inlay and all-metal, heavy-duty switches.
Dirty Fingers Humbuckers Gibson's Gear division offers the extreme-output Dirty Fingers pickups. These pickups max out the attitude factor, with the perfect marriage of power and dirt.
LockTone Bridge The Epiphone LockTone tune-o-matic/stopbar system not only provides added security but increases sustain.
SpeedTaper Neck Epiphone's new SpeedTaper neck has a very slim "D" profile and satin finish for fast performance with a smooth feel.
Strap Locks Included All Prophecy guitars come with Epiphone's ultra-secure strap locks with quick disconnect technology.

Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar Alpine White Review

Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar Alpine White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought mine over 2 weeks ago at Guitar center and was struck by the Alpine White color, which I found out was a Custon Shop limited edition. When I got it home, I noticed that it wouldn't stay in tune and that was due to the fact that it wasn't set up properly upon the leaving the factory in China, contrary to what the inspection label on the back of the headstock says. The intonation, along with the string and pickup height, were in need of adjustment and once I took care of those problems, I was amazed at how well this guitar sounded and how great it stayed in tune. The rest of the guitar from the frets to the electronics, seems to be very well built, but I would've preferred block inlays instead of the dot ones on the neck. Other than that,there was nothing that I could find wrong with this guitar at all. This is a very reasonably priced instrument for the beginner and advanced musician as far as I'm concerned, and I'm speaking from over 36 years of playing. This is a welcome alternative for those of us who can't afford the outrageous prices for the US made Gibsons, and seeing that Epiphone is owned by them, you really more or less have the same thing, just made in a different country, that's all! Great guitar for a great price!

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Faded Cherryburst Review

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Faded Cherryburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To being with, this is my first major guitar I've ever bought. My first Les Paul, especially. Unlike most of them, this guitar is very light, which is great. When at first glance, you would think it would weigh 20 pounds, but it's light as a feather. Now, it sounds great, too. I played it on my Peavey Vypyr 15; not the best amp, but it sounds great. Since the amp can't project the best quality, you can't really hear the pickups "scream." I played it at guitar center on a 15W Line 6 and it sounded amazing! Assuming you play it on the right amp, it will sound amazing.
Also, I found it there for $399; even though it's listed on here for anywhere from $749-$1400. If you find one this cheap, get it quick! Now, this guitar is absolutely beautiful. Everything about the finish is great. It stays in tune great as well. There is a pick guard. At first, it bothered me; because, in my opinion, a Les Paul is not meant to have a pick guard. But it really works. Because everything looks great.
To sum it all up, you can't even go wrong. It's a truly amazing guitar that is flawless. Great pickups, finish, body, and tuners; the works. Just make sure that you get a great amp, or else you may not get the best sound. I played it on a Line 6 Spider IV 15W, and I got the perfect hard rock sound. So yeah, just so long as you get the right amp, you get the best sound. I recommend this to everyone.

This guitar is increadible for the price. I just got mine last month and have been blown away by its quality. It looks every bit as good as the $2000+ Gibsons, it really is gorgeous. The only complaint I had are the pickups. They're a bit muddy, I think I'm going to replace them with some Seymour Duncans. But even then this instrument rocks! Buy it, you'll be glad you did.

Epiphone LP Standard Plus-Top Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst Review

I purchased mine from Guitar Center about a year ago. Guitar is simply beautiful. For my money there has never been a nicer looking guitar than the Les Paul, it just screams classic rock. Very comfortable to play, it isn't a Gibson, but most players don't have the money to purchase a Gibson when they are first starting.
The only minor complaint being the stock pick-ups are little muddy. I added a couple of Seymour Duncan humbuckers and had the action lowered which greatly improved the sound and ease of playing. Play this guitar through a Line 6 Flextone and you can have really good tone for under a grand.

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Faded Cherry Sunburst Review

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Faded Cherry Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Les Paul Ultra-II is a different beast. This is the original ultra, i purchased one two Augusts ago with a little maintenance it has defeated many of my other pricey guitars.
The sound is a bit murky like fellow Les Pauls before it, you can assume though a nice hard driven rock sound, and a cutting edge solo tone. The treble and rhythm feature such a strong contrast against each other. The rhythm sounds good enough to be used on clean channel unlike many other Les Pauls. The gold alnico humbuckers and tuning pegs really add to a nicer interpretation along with the stylized burst scattered body.
The guitars strap peg may fall out entirely, easy to fix. With multiple sessions put down on this guitar i find no reason why not to buy it, it endures well and plays as well as it endures! I own eight guitars (some even being the elusive Stevie Ray Vaughan sig Fender, Zakk Wylde Gibson LP, Ibanez RG, Another Epi LP ect), and have played with many guitarists/musicians. They all note how well this guitar performs.
Althought it's not for sale currently i recommend you search a Guitar Center, you can find one around 500$ or less. This Epi competes well beyond the degrees of fellow higher companioned Gibson.
