This guitar will rip your face off

This is one of the least expensive guitars I own -- I bought it used for $325 -- and it is my favorite guitar to play at the moment. It has a coil-tapping feature, so you can get a nice thick, raunchy sound with the humbuckers engaged, or a clear and jangly sound in single-coil mode. The Floyd Rose tremolo works well; it is almost impossible to get this guitar out of tune when the tuners are locked down. It has a beautiful appearance, and it is pretty heavy as well -- you probably should avoid this guitar if you have back issues.

Just to add my 2 cents to the Gibson vs. Epiphone debate, I brought this guitar in to my local Guitar Center a few weeks ago, plugged it in to a good amp and wailed on it for a while. Then I plugged in a whole series of new Gibson Les Pauls. While each guitar has its own individual qualities and tones, making precise comparisons difficult, it seemed to these ears that my $325 Epiphone compared favorably to a succession of $2000-$3500 Gibson guitars.

I recently replaced the stock Epiphone Alnico Classic pickups with Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbuckers -- and now the guitar just screams.

One problem with this guitar is you have to be careful to stay away from the Floyd Rose tremolo unit while you're not using it, because it's very sensitive and it's therefore it's easy to accidentally push down on the trem and push yourself out of tune when playing a chord. It's just a matter of being conscious of where your hand is touching/resting while you play, but still kind of inconvenient.
