I love guitars. Like loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee them. They're just like girls:
1 - They both have curves
2 - They have necks
3 - They both use G-Strings *ahem*
4 - They're both fun to touch/play/strum/pluck (lets not let our imaginations run wild lol)
5 - They come in white, black, yellow, and many other colors........brown......
LOL. Anyways, I digressed. Back to the point, I recently purchased an Epiphone electric guitar, since I got kinda bored with the old guitar I had, and thought a Les Paul would be a good choice. Behold, the Ultra-II:
It sounds awesome! Great guitar for almost any kind of music genre except heavy stuff (I play mainly alternative rock and jazz). Think the retail price is going for about $650. I've seen cheaper ones on Ebay too, but assuming you buy it directly off a Epiphone supplier, it'll probably be around the $600-$700 range. Definitely cheaper than getting a Gibson, and in terms of sound, you probably can achieve something similar to a Gibson with a decent effects pedal. Best part is it comes with an acoustic pickup (Nanomag), which is capable of simulating acoustic tones. Of course they do not come close to the actual acoustic guitar but heck, the tone capabilities are pretty much infinite considering the tones can be blended (electric pickups together with the acoustic pickup).
Overall I'm really satisfied with this baby. I'd give it her an 8/10 for its value for money. Sounds great, has an excellent sustain, large range of tones, lightweight (since its chambered, its weight is reduced significantly), and the best part - It's beautiful! Highly recommended. |
