What is the reason for "Bashing Gibson"??
I have never seen a Gibson owner "Bash" Epiphone??
But, i am getting readying to have a go at it!!!!!

...

Never seen a Gibson owner bash Epiphone? Look a little harder.

Quite the Troll thread, though.

Ive never seen an epiphone owner bashing a gibson, although most elitist owners agree that the elitist is better than the gibson usa line-at least specs show that.

But gibson is just...gibson! makes me want one anyway

isn't that a bash in a way???

I don't think that a statement of truth is a "bash."

but that hurts my feelings, being an owner of a guitar from the "gibson usa" line, now i know how it feels being bashed, people saying that you spent your money unwisely

If you're happy, thats all that matters!

The USA/Elitist argument all comes down to matters of preferences and priorities.

Chinese and Korean Epiphones are NOT nicer guitars than their Gibson USA counterparts... that cannot be argued. Not even Norlins.

-graham- · 11-29-2008, 06:17 PM

hey dice what's a "troll thread"??
And what epi owner thinks their non-elitist epi is better than a Gibby?
I must now conclude this post with a completely blatant comment:

FENDER IS THE BEST!

Just a thread intended to stir the pot.

There are enough "better than" threads out there - I see no need for another.

believe me, there are MANY gibson bashers....personally, i don't bash at all unless its a totally ludicrous comment.

And guido's post =

Mickdoo22@Verizon.net · 11-29-2008, 08:27 PM

I own an 83 Gibson Les Paul Std, and I have been looking at new Les Pauls for the last couple of years.....but all the ones I played were frankly junk. I recently bought a new Epiphone Elitist Les Paul and to be honest, the new Gibsons can't hold a candle to the build quality of the Elitist, which is half the cost. I don't know if that qualifies as "Gibson Bashing"......because to be honest, I feel like the Elitist IS a Gibson made in a country and a factory that actually cares about the quality and details....I believe Gibson USA gave that up many years ago.

They both suck. Gibson is overpriced garbage, epiphone is, well, just garbage. My Indonesian Squier kicks both their asses.

Just pokin fun at ya. Seriously, the lengths that you went to to determine if it is chambered just goes to show , IMHO, just how much of a non issue it is in general. It wasn't like this is sh!t, I wonder why.

yea honestly i don't care if it is chambered, the reason i think some people won't like the new 2008 standard is all the complicated electronic doohickeys
