Epiphone Prophecy Futura Custom FX (Floyd, EMG-81/85 Pickups) Review

I'll be honest. I don't think this guitar is for everyone. Other than receiving the actual guitar in a mess (de-tuned, very very very low action, ridiculous unplayable buzzing and offset bridge etc, etc....don't worry... did not buy it from this particular seller XD), After i got it fixed, it played excellent. I can't judge it too harshly because i've been playing a jackson rr-3 for 2 years, and the floyd rose on thatparticular model of guitar is completely flush with the body, and i know most floyds are not, but rather raised, above the body. Also, the pick-ups are a bit too close together for my liking, and i have a really hard time getting harmonics out of the g-string, but that's just my experience, and i would say 'because of that' but i really don't know if that's the cause. And of course it's about twice the weight of an rr3 so you get a bit sore after a while, but i can't complain about that. Other than that, it has a nice fast neck, reasonably slim, plays nice, but pick-ups seem a bit over-responsive.

Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Custom EX Electric Guitar, EMG 81/85 Pickups

I bought it last December and I have been very happy with it ever since!
The neck is very comfortable, even for higher notes (24 frets), and it looks awesome hanging on the wall.
Except for my flying V, It is hard to imagine myself playing something other than a Les Paul after trying this one.

Product Description:
With its solid Mahogany body with highly figured quilt Maple top and glued-in Mahogany neck, the Les Paul EX has its roots firmly planted in the LP tradition. But that's where tradition ends. A 24-fret Ebony fingerboard with seductive "blade" inlays and jumbo frets give you two full octaves while the active EMG-81/85 humbucking pickup combination provides the punch below every single note. Epiphone StrapLocks provide security for this axe while a LockTone tune-o-matic/stopbar ensure massive sustain.

A modern take on the Les Paul tradition.




EMG humbuckers and Epiphone's LockTone bridge.
Set neck with slim profile and smooth feel.
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.
EMG Humbuckers
The active EMG-81/85 humbucking pickup combination provides high-output performance that's synonymous with heavy, aggressive music.
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.

This guitar blew my expectations out of the water! The guitar stays in tune extremely well and the fretting is easy. The sound is just gorgeous and the looks are killer. I bought this as a blow out deal for $100 and I was very happily shocked at the value. Even at $300 this guitar is well worth the asking price. Washburn and Paul Stanley did themselves proud with this one.

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

Epiphone LP Standard Plus-Top Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Stagg Music L-320 CS Electric Guitar LP Style - Limited Florida Series Review

Stagg Music L-320 CS Electric Guitar LP Style - Limited Florida Series
Average Reviews:

This is a Les Paul style copy made in China. It is a little lighter than a standard Les Paul, and doesnt have the same amount of sustain as a Les Paul, but the craftsmanship is good, and the finish is good. The tuners have a lot of play in them, if you are a serious guitar player, you will probably replace them. The pickups are not very bright in tone, somewhat muddy, but okay if you use a distortion pedal. You would have to replace the pickups if you want a good bright metal tone.The bridge will have to be adjusted when you first receive it for the best intonation, this isn't difficult to do, but if you dont know how, just take it to a music store and have a pro do it, it will be worth it.Out of the box, it is playable, and good for a beginner or hobbyist. If you get more serious, you will want to consider new tuners, and maybe new pickups, or just move up to a better guitar. This is about the same as an Epiphone Les Paul Special copy, but you save about $100.It looks nice, and feels nice, plays well. The tuners and the pickups are the only thing that they could improve on it. Still a good value for the price.

SX Callisto MSL Electric Guitar Silver Review

Average Reviews:

Alright,this is a fun guitar. It's a little heavier than I thought (which is good,helps with it's really good sustain)the paint job is killer (not tacky or cheesy looking,)the neck is more dark brown than black though,the pickups are killer (pinch harmonics galore, wicked crunches,stylish clean tones. It needed no adjustments. I scoped out the neck,it's all good,intonation is good, all I did was lower the low-end side of the bridge's screw 1/2 a turn and the high-end's around 1 and 1/2 turns. The chords crunch and the solos fly out with buttery ease. Everything works fine,all the electronics,etc. it's all good. It stays in tune well, I'm pretty heavy handed and it's doing fine. It comes with what seem to be 9 gauge strings. I broke a string, tried some 10 gauges, they felt stiff,stayed in tune great, but I'm sticking with 9's. The bridge is a little strange, there's a goofy little paperclip looking thing holding down the saddles. Maybe just for shipping?It was buzzing so I ripped it off and threw it away. The string tension holds the saddles in place. Normally with this kind of bridge that isn't the case but whatever, I don't really seem to care. All in all this is a bitchin guitar. I'm stoked on mine and play it all the time. I like it so much, I'm going to order another one next week! And it's only $140.

Product Description:
This guitar features great perfomance at a great price! The guitar body is a single cutaway arch top body made from solid Alder wood. The neck is a Bolt on Maple neck with an adjustable truss rod. It has a rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo (2.7mm) frets and trapezoidal inlays. High quality humbucker pickups help reduce hum and noise and offer superior performance by giving a thicker fuller sound than single coils Humbuckers also create a much larger magnetic field, which helps eliminate dead spots and increases overall power of the pickup Two volume and two tone controls plus a 3-way pickup selector switch tailor your sound Stop Bar Tailpiece help transfer string vibration to the body for great sound and sustain The angled headstock helps increase the tension of the string on the nut and therefore also helps transfer the vibrations of the string to the guitar All chrome hardware (including diecast sealed tuners and a stop-bar tailpiece) Actual Weight is only 8lbs. Bridge studs are 3" apart. Width of the neck at the nut: 1 5/8"; at the 22st fret: 2 3/16" Overall length, including the strap button: 40"; Scale length: 24.75" Width at the widest point: 13". Bridge studs are 3" apart
