I started using Epis awhile back because I got tired of beating the shit out of some very expensive guitars on stage. Never had a problem with my Epiphones.

My favourite was a cheap little Epiphone Les Paul Jr that cost me about $150. The bloody thing was a tank.

I play them through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille.
