Topic: Epiphone JB
WOW!! This thing amazes me every day! I grow to love this guitar more and more. And, it is quickly becoming my number 1 guitar of choice.
Example: I play lead guitar in my Worship Band at Church. I don't use an amp, so I use a digitech RP150 with 2 different settings. 1 is a Twin Reverb and 2 is a Marshall Plexi. I use #1 for basic rhythm and number 2 setting when I want a crunchy sound for some lead or other stuff. There is a Tube Screamer hooked up in the chain as well.
I found today while practicing with the Twin setting and the Tube Screamer that I can have the Tube Screamer on and adjust the volume knob to get some great cleans and roll it up to get some great lead tones. The volume & tone pots on this guitar are unlike any that I have ever had!! They are so responsive.
Now, this is the Epi model, so I assume that the Gibson version is just as good, if not better. But, on the budget that I am this is the BEST guitar hands down that I have! I have another Epi Les Paul and 3 Strats. Now, I love my strats as well. But, the JB is becoming the one that I CAN'T PUT DOWN!!
Thank you Joe & Epiphone for making such an AMAZING guitar that people on a budget can afford!!
