Headstock snobs, leave your preconceptions at the door because Guitar Center is offering up to $250 on selected Epiphone guitars for a very limited time in its up to 40% off Black Friday sale, and some of the most desirable models and options are on the menu. There's only 24 hour left of this sale, so you'll need to act fast if you see something you like. And if you need some guidance, we've picked our personal favorites below.
If you’ve tried an Epiphone guitar recently, you’ll know that the build quality, finishing, playability and tone are ridiculously good for the money. To the point where we’d challenge even the most grizzled tonehound to differentiate some models from their US-made Gibson counterparts.
Don’t believe us? Turn your attention to the recent Adam Jones Les Paul Custom, or the Joe Bonamassa Lazarus Les Paul, perhaps you’re more a fan of the big-body, semi-acoustic designs? Step toward the Noel Gallagher Riviera for the proof.
Of course, those are all signature models. But for its pre-Black Friday event, Guitar Center has selected some choice models that will appeal to fans of all of those guitars and more, with Les Pauls, ES-335s, and even a cutaway-electro version of the archetype singer-songwriter guitar, the Hummingbird all reduced by a hefty amount – in some cases, you’ll save up to 25% off the regular price. But which guitars in the sale do we rate?
