I like fingerpicking. Possibly the only music I ever created was a nice fingerpicked C arpeggio.

Being Mexican-made doesn't make Epiphones lame, but often they have cheap materials and parts and that makes them lame. That's more relevant to electric than acoustic, though.
My Les Paul was an Epiphone, as were my amps. Decent enough stuff. The Les Paul sounded ok and I think it was at least real wood instead of particle board or plywood. The pickups were kinda crappy and I didn't love the unvarnished rosewood fretboard. It was as pretty as any Les Paul, with a nice sunburst finish. The bass amp sounded great with a guitar coming through it. They should have sold it as a guitar amp. The guitar amp was a slightly smaller version of the same unit with a few extra controls, mainly for distortion, but the distortion on it sounded terrible, like modern crap rock distortion. ---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ---------- There's not much to keeping it tuned, you just tune it each time you use it. Good quality equipment stays in tune better but nothing stays perfectly in tune all the time. $20 should buy a decent enough electronic tuner. You pluck a string and look at the tuner, it tells you whether it's low or high, you turn the tuning peg until it's perfect...then you tune the next string.

Yeah. Invest in an electronic tuner. Cheap Insurance. Its quicker/easier for me to tune by ear now, but without a tuner, I would have never learned how.
My stratocaster is a MIM model. Nothing at all cheap about it. I have an Epiphone Les Paul jr right now that I love. The sound is great! Cheap tuners that won't hold tune, but the pickups and playability are just as good as any other guitar. I have guitars that range in price from $100 to over $600. The only reason I have/kept the ones I have is because they play like I like. My $200 Squier stagemaster is by far my favorite guitar as far as feel and sound. I wouldn't give it up for anything.

My Squier P-bass seemed great, but I never really knew much about bass and couldn't tell a good bass sound from a lame one.
For those who don't know what Jay and I are talking about, Squier is Fender's Mexi-cheap line like Epiphone is Gibson's Mexi-cheap brand.

Yup, that's exactly what mine was. I think I changed the knobs out for some nicer looking ones.
Sold on Craigslist to nice dude buying it for his brother for Christmas 2010 IIRC.

Mine isn't gift quality. I think I bought it used (but almost perfect condition) and put a few nicks in it. Then BIL thought I gave it to him and covered it in fgty stickers and shit. Need to remove them and clean it up before selling.

I played yesterday for alittle while. I must say, and I'm ashamed to say it. My LUNA Telecaster sounds TONS better than my strat. I either has to replace pickups in Strat..
or just accept it.
