OK, I' ve heard a lot of guys say that an Epiphone Les Paul sounds nothing like a Gibson one. In my opinion, since Epiphone builds up Les Paul under Gibson specifications, they should sound alike. The only things that make a difference are the name, the location of manufacturing & the history of Gibson. Any other opinions?
The pickups are a big difference too... get an Epiphone and put some gibson pickups (choose depending on 'your sound'), and you'll be closer to a LP.

The guys in my local guitar shop say the same thing. The pickups are the biggest difference. Everthing else is pretty subtle. When I started looking to upgrade they said the best route to an LP would be buy an Epiphone and mount good pickups.

i recently got an epi l.p. goldtop via ebay, and i mostly agree, BUT... the other electronics were also shitty!! for example, the volume pots had "A500K" stamped on them, which indicates to me that they were 500K audio taper. NO WAY! they measured 250K and definitely sound linear taper to me (from 10 to 0, very little drop in volume 'til the last 25%). i put in cts 500K audio's with 100pf treble bleed cap's and it rocks... you mmileage may vary...

I am a full on Gibson U.S.A. fan, but, I must confess that I purchased an Epiphone Les Paul 7 string recently, more for curiosity reasons, and I would aggree with Bare foot. You should gut all the electronics, I mean everything and replace with high quality replacements that would be the best thing to do. Structural quality is questionable but overall I think they are good guitars for up grading and learning to understan how everything works.

I own an earlier Epiphone Les Paul Standard - maybe 1992. The guys at my guitar shop were checking it out 3 days ago. Evidently mine was built better and heavier than the more recent models. The finish is a superb Honey Burst. However, they used mini-pots ( which started crackling pretty quickly and which I'm going to replace. ) The stock pickups are muddy and definitely need to be replaced. However, I do that with any guitar I own anyway. I put a Seymour Duncan Custom in the Bridge position and it really screams through Marshall-type high-gain amplification. Supposedly, the tuning pegs were cheaper, but I'm a real stickler about tuning, and have not had any complaints. Overall, my Eppy Les Paul is easily as nice playing as the '75 Gibson LP I used to own. ( And that was a sweet, low-action guitar! ) With the addition of the pickups and replacing the electronics, I feel it will be superior to a stock Gibson. However, the new models may be a different story.
I have a 2004 Epiphone LP Custom. It's a beautiful piece of Korean workmanship. I played a number of guitars, including Gibson LP, before I bought a new Epiphone Custom LP for about $700 with hard shell case. The difference is something only a guitar geek would notice. They are different, but not $1500. The Epiphone will give you what you need. The Gibsons were great, but seem to be more like collector guitars. The Epiphone sounded better to me and was easier to play. I had to get it professionally adjusted ($40) after I got it, and put top quality strings on it, but it just shines for crunchy blues and rock.

it's supposed to be on the tailpiece side, but if it's been the other way for a long time you might as well elave it. the grooves in the saddles have worn their own widths and if you turn it around you'll bust your lower strings often.
Hi there,
I like my Fender Hot Rod 410 (I play a Gibson LP Standard), but it's so incredibly loud, I wish I could produce a "rough edge" at a lower volume level. To use the tubes to full extent I now have to turn up the volume where the band and sound guy get crazy. What is the best to get the sound I want? Can I reduce the number of tubes for example?
Thanks for your reply, bye! Mark from The Netherlands
I have a Hot Rod Deluxe (40W one 12" speaker) and I know what you mean. You can try using the 2nd input, which is quieter, or you can buy something that fits in the poweramp tube sockets which you then put smaller tubes in which does just what you want. I saw it in a magazine once and I think they're called yellowjackets. I think it was in The Guitar Magazine last year sometime. If I find it I'll post again. Otherwise, you have to get a smaller amp. Lots of people are now using 15W amps which they can turn up and put through the P.A..
It depends on what type of guitar it is. I've replaced and adjusted nuts on my guitars (tele and strat) and it's the sort of thing you can bugger up if you aren't careful. In otherwords, research it and take your time. There are books like Dan Erlewine's Guitar Player Repair Guide which are good and I saw some good websites too (use Google or something...I don't remember where they are). Something with pictures and what NOT to do will help you more than a response here which would be too simplified possibly. It's not that difficult a job, I found, but I was glad to be able to refer to a book like the one I mentioned. (tip: I didn't touch the slots. I got a precut nut and shaved the bottom to adjust the height.)
Basically it's not too difficult to do, but like anything, you can screw it up. Are you sure you need to change it, or perhaps it just needs a little filing?
If you've got the type that fit into the slot of the fingerboard, you'll need to excercise a bit more care not to chip the fingerboard wood during removal.
Many times, these can be tapped out from the side but you'll need to have the neck well support and held from moving around. If the glue won't let go, you might want to take it to a pro--it's not an expensive repair job!
There are a lot of replacments available and I can highly recommend Tusq brand nuts. Their material is tough and works almost as well as a bone nut.

Hi, i've had my mexican strat about a half year. I realise it's not going to be as good as an american but i want it to be. So when i play it, it sometimes sounds out of tune. so i retune it, but the problem is with certain chords i need to tune the strings differently which makes me think the frets might be screwed up. So i tried something else. i tuned all of the strings up at the octave and made sure they were completely in tune. when i went down to the normal octave, the low e isn't in tune with the a. the a to d is good. the d to g is pretty good. the g to b is bad, and the b to e is bad. How can i fixed this and for how much?
Mexican guitars are OK. Don't worry. Setting intonation shouldn't cost you anything. Use a tuner to tune each string then check it again at the octave. If it's out of tune you have to adjust the bridge saddle to change the length of the string until the octave is in tune as well. (If it's sharp you lengthen it) Use the screws at the back end of the bridge and take your time. It's fiddly but not that difficult or risky. If that doesn't sort it write again.
Thanks alot it sounds much better. i have another question though if you can answer it. When i pick the strings with a decent amount of force they buzz. I pick it and then the buzz starts after a little while. it mostly happens on the low e and g. Thank again. Just thought i might ask another one.
: It could mean afew things. 1.Your strings are abit low (easy... raise them abit at the bridge. They should kinda follow the curve of the frets),2. the truss rod needs adjusting, 3, one of the frets isn't level,or 4, the nut isn't cut right. If raising the strings doesn't sort it out you should have someone look at it since messing around with 2,3 or 4 could mess up your guitar. It's probable nothing major.
: take it to a professional they can make your mexican strat play like an american for about $70 or less

I´m looking for a saraceno signature acoustic guitar. It was released in 1995-96 and had the same shape as the electrics. Could anyone please tell me where to find one, or at least tell me what the model was called? ( radio10...20...tv10...? ) Thanks /Rob
What are your opinions on the Marshall Avt 150 Head. Does it have that Metallica Scooped Mid Sound Or what???? Is it worth the money?? Or is just another light rock Amp??? Thanks Brandon

all marshall amps are the best for metal you can get a lot from it .to sound like an old metallica you need much more then marshall's amp there are a lot of effects like phaser,wah-wah,compressor,delay they use, all these radically improve your sound and it difficult to recognize a real amp's sound but go for marshall they are best for metal all the best bands are use it.
have fun!

Posted by dave on Sun, 10/07/2001 - 23:47.
hey whats up man, if you are looking for james hetfields tone look no futher than MESA/BOOGIE. he uses a tri axis with a strategy 400 power amp and a triple rec. marshall doesnt have enough balls for that sound that is why he doesnt use them since ride the lightning. and here is another secret to his tone, he doesnt scoop out the mids, he has a graphic eq hooked up to his amps and when you look at the eq bands there is a band numbered 400k , which is on any graphic eq, he cuts the 400k down low but the mids on his amps are half way up (5) treble (9) bass(6) gain(7or8) that gives him that definition and low end without making it muddy like when you just dip out the mids, everything else on the eq is at zero or a little boosted, but nothing drastic. try that on a descent amp and let me know how it turns out. later man.

i have owned one of these amps for about 5 months and its similiar to metallicas tone but not quite. this amp is not light rock. it has a good sounding tube distortion and cuts through real nice during solos. you can pull off some metal with it no problem. it comes very close to tube tone without being an all tube amp. it has a scoop button to scope out the midrange but then it dosnt cut through the drums as well, especially if you have a loud drummer. i like it and is definitly worth the money i feel. the 150 watts is all there. im running it at 8ohms with one avt slanted cab and it pounds. the effects arnt that great but they dont sound terrible. the acoustic simulator sounds really good for a simulator. i would recommend this amp because of its sound quality, features, looks and price. i cannot comment on its reliability because ive only owned it a short while. you can download sound files of the some of the avt amps at marshalls website.

So i tried something else. i tuned all of the strings up at the octave and made sure they were completely in tune. when i went down to the normal octave, the low e isn't in tune with the a. the a to d is good. the d to g is pretty good. the g to b is bad, and the b to e is bad. How can i fixed this and for how much?
Re: intonation
Mexican guitars are OK. Don't worry. Setting intonation shouldn't cost you anything. Use a tuner to tune each string then check it again at the octave. If it's out of tune you have to adjust the bridge saddle to change the length of the string until the octave is in tune as well. (If it's sharp you lengthen it) Use the screws at the back end of the bridge and take your time. It's fiddly but not that difficult or risky. If that doesn't sort it write again.
Re: intonation
Thanks alot it sounds much better. i have another question though if you can answer it. When i pick the strings with a decent amount of force they buzz. I pick it and then the buzz starts after a little while. it mostly happens on the low e and g. Thank again. Just thought i might ask another one.
Re: intonation
: It could mean afew things. 1.Your strings are abit low (easy... raise them abit at the bridge. They should kinda follow the curve of the frets),2. the truss rod needs adjusting, 3, one of the frets isn't level,or 4, the nut isn't cut right. If raising the strings doesn't sort it out you should have someone look at it since messing around with 2,3 or 4 could mess up your guitar. It's probable nothing major.
Re: intonation
: take it to a professional they can make your mexican strat play like an american for about $70 or less

Saraceno-fans please read...!!!
I´m looking for a saraceno signature acoustic guitar. It was released in 1995-96 and had the same shape as the electrics. Could anyone please tell me where to find one, or at least tell me what the model was called? ( radio10...20...tv10...? ) Thanks /Rob

all marshall amps are the best for metal you can get a lot from it .to sound like an old metallica you need much more then marshall's amp there are a lot of effects like phaser,wah-wah,compressor,delay they use, all these radically improve your sound and it difficult to recognize a real amp's sound but go for marshall they are best for metal all the best bands are use it.
have fun!
Re: Is the Marshall AVT150 Head Good for Metal!!??
hey whats up man, if you are looking for james hetfields tone look no futher than MESA/BOOGIE. he uses a tri axis with a strategy 400 power amp and a triple rec. marshall doesnt have enough balls for that sound that is why he doesnt use them since ride the lightning. and here is another secret to his tone, he doesnt scoop out the mids, he has a graphic eq hooked up to his amps and when you look at the eq bands there is a band numbered 400k , which is on any graphic eq, he cuts the 400k down low but the mids on his amps are half way up (5) treble (9) bass(6) gain(7or8) that gives him that definition and low end without making it muddy like when you just dip out the mids, everything else on the eq is at zero or a little boosted, but nothing drastic. try that on a descent amp and let me know how it turns out. later man.

i have owned one of these amps for about 5 months and its similiar to metallicas tone but not quite. this amp is not light rock. it has a good sounding tube distortion and cuts through real nice during solos. you can pull off some metal with it no problem. it comes very close to tube tone without being an all tube amp. it has a scoop button to scope out the midrange but then it dosnt cut through the drums as well, especially if you have a loud drummer. i like it and is definitly worth the money i feel. the 150 watts is all there. im running it at 8ohms with one avt slanted cab and it pounds. the effects arnt that great but they dont sound terrible. the acoustic simulator sounds really good for a simulator. i would recommend this amp because of its sound quality, features, looks and price. i cannot comment on its reliability because ive only owned it a short while. you can download sound files of the some of the avt amps at marshalls website.
