Amazon Review
If you decide to learn to play a musical instrument, the next
decision you must make is which instrument to play. Many people
encounter great difficulty when it comes to choosing a particular brand
and model of instrument, especially when it comes to electric guitars.
With thousands of models and just as many brands, many novice musicians
don't know where to start. This crucial decision has the power to
greatly influence your musical style and ability. As the "Guitar Hero"
phenomenon is currently raging the music world like a pandemic, many
young people would rather play a videogame than a real instrument due
to the high prices and difficultly of learning to play guitar. Luckily,
the well-priced and user-friendly Epiphone SG-310 Hi-Performance Guitar
package has hit the market. After exploring the many different packages
available and choosing the Epiphone SG-310 Hi-Performance Guitar Pack
as my first guitar purchase, I have established this model as an
affordable and reliable purchase. As a guitarist of nearly ten years, I
have owned and played a wide variety of electric instruments. From my
early days as a musician, I have always been interested in the
different brands and series of the many guitars available. I have come
to realize that there are many knockoff brands that will attempt to
make a quick dollar by selling a poorly manufactured instrument. I am
here to tell you that this product does not fall under this category.
The first thing that you as a potential buyer should note is the brand
name that is inscribed on the headstock of the guitar- Epiphone. For
those of you that are unaware, Epiphone is the sister company of
Gibson, one of the most well known and widely used guitar makers
around. Gibson's reputation for being a exceptional manufacturer of
reliable instrument has been passed down to this sister company. With
Gibson overseeing a majority of Epiphone's projects, you can rest
assured that this is a well-crafted instrument. You must not only make
a decision based on the brand name, but also the materials and pieces
that makeup this instrument. The Epiphone G310 is made of a solid
hardwood body, bolt on mahogany neck, rosewood fret board, and chrome
tuners. The solid ebony body provides this guitar with a dark,
glistening finish, which is sure to look good both on stage and in the
home. The mahogany neck and rosewood fret board provide a smooth feel,
which is both comfortable and easy to play, especially for young
musicians. The importance of an easy-to-play instrument must be
stressed especially to beginners because many young musicians lose
their desire to play due to the finger pain accompanied by some
guitars. This guitar is sure to minimize this effect and provide an
instrument that will be soft on even the most delicate finger tips. The
chrome tuners and chromatic bridge help prevent the guitar from falling
out of tune, which can be a constant frustration for musicians of all
ages. You are sure to be stunned by the range of sounds available when
the guitar is plugged into the included five watt tube amplifier. With
the assurance of well made parts, the SG310 is a reliable instrument
that can achieve any sound, from mild distortion to an all out scream.
If the guitar alone is not reason enough to purchase this package, take
a look at the products that are included in this package. If you take
note of the price of this guitar package, which in my opinion is very
fair, and compare it to the price of the same guitar sold separately,
you will notice that there is literally no difference. What many people
don't realize is that when purchasing this guitar package, you receive
everything you need to pick up the guitar, plug it in, and learn to
play. The package comes complete with a five watt tube amplifier,
guitar stand, strap, picks, tuner, carrying case, and even a twenty
foot chord. The five watt tube amplifier is a surprisingly clean and
incredibly loud amplifier, perfect for ear training and jamming along
with a CD. The guitar stand and carrying case provide the musician with
a safe place to store or transport their instrument. The picks are
Epiphone brand name and the chromatic tuner is sure to keep your
guitar's sound in check, even in the most unsuitable conditions. The
guitar strap is perfect to learn to stand and play the instrument, as
if you were on stage. The twenty foot chord is great for recreating
musicians' performances like living legend from the famous rock band
ACDC Angus Young's eccentric stage movements or practicing those knee
slides that will surely give you well earned rug burn. Whatever your
ideals are of stage presence, this guitar package is sure to provide
you with the tools necessary to become any style of musician,
Unfortunately, this product like many others does have its certain
downfalls. First of all, the instrument is not reliable when it comes
to wear and tear. I have noticed with my particular model that the
volume knobs have become a bit loose and cause some static when turned
while plugged in. I have also noticed that this guitar seems to cause
more wear on the strings than many more expensive models that I have
played. However, if you look at the price of strings which start at
about five dollars, and compare their replacement price to the
difference between more expensive models, it is obvious that your money
will be saved. Overall, Epiphone has crafted a quality instrument that
with proper care will provide a musician with a great sound and feel
that will last for years. Choosing a guitar with which to learn to play
can be a tedious and often confusing process. With so many brands and
models to choose from, many new musicians feel overwhelmed while
comparing prices, brands, and components. The combination of this
guitar and the accessory package included makes for a great beginner
purchase. I feel that Epiphone has created a truly well made and
affordable guitar package that is sure to satisfy the needs of novice
musicians young and old alike.
Good bye for cheap guitar.
I bought this and it was well worth the money. This guitar sounds good in the amp. Good for beginners.
