All user reviews for the Epiphone Emily the Strange G-310

Bought at Guitar Center in Hollywood for $300. The artwork was so distinctive that I couldn't resist, and I'd wanted a backup for my Gibson SG anyway.

The graphics are very well applied, beautifully colour co-ordinated, with matching artwork on the headstock, customized control knobs, and a special 12th-fret inlay. The body is heavier than my Gibson SG Classic's and feels more like a "slab", but one surprising advantage to this is that this SG is less neck-heavy than most because the body counterweights the neck better. The feel is good, the neck is better than any Epiphone I've played so far: Better feel than my Dot archtop, and better than SGs I've tried in stores and my friend's Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Excellent tuning machines, too, extremely smooth and responsive.

Like many of Epiphone's guitars, the pickups are a little bland. They sound good, but don't have much character. The pickup selector switch is a little stiff, though I'd rather it be that than floppy and loose as on my Epiphone Dot.

The bolt-on neck joint seems a little rough and the classic SG body bevelling isn't as pronounced as it should be, but the great finish and design work deserve high marks -- the look of this guitar has a distinctively psychedelic feel, The fretwork is smooth and neat, and the hardware is solid (especially the tuning machines).

To be honest, I'm probably pre-sold on the stylistic appeal of this guitar. But I can also fairly say that my hands feel good on this guitar, and I'm very picky in that field -- many guitars that I thought I would love (the Gibson ES-333, the Line 6 Variax, the Rickenbacker 360 12-string, the Epiphone version of the Firebird VII) have all been ruled out based on left-hand feel. This one I didn't have a problem with, and I'm very happy with it. And it's definitely a lovely art piece to look at.

UTILIZATION

I use it mainly to learn to play and when to play, and it marche.j 'I changed the factory settings. it is chronic .... not in epi, eh, in moi.j 'managed to get a low enough action for me to facilitate the bends and hammers stroke my strings in 11 49 ... not very big, but when you déébutes the bends of 1ton 1/2 with atrial ...
short, I love playing on this guitar.
I think change the cabling later, and if I miss everything and it looks good, I raconterai.sinon, I'll stay in my corner and I'll duck.

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

I like this guitar, and pus is dear to me has offered, as I see reason to complain, so I complain pas.et I love the look ..
and know that Emily has a brand that applle cosmic debris, it gives me the impression of paying tribute zappa, and frankly, everyone should play this guitar just for ça.et he played on sg in pus ... but in true gibson solid.

Then it is a Epiphone SG, 22 Frets, Bolt pais round too, that the same CHARACTERISTICS G310. Dco beautiful, the photo reflte many colors, red is not red SG, Itis a little clearer, even the knobs have a nice psychdelique dco. The one I test frieze on the ropes a bit serious and not n'tait trs well rgl harmonic point of view.

UTILIZATION

So round handle but not too much, you can go fast enough it is good fun but below the box 15 Bolt because we did something pretty bad ...
As it is an SG trslgre comfortable saying anything over the ...
For sound is not bad at all, not counting the sound of a US SG is a bit worse but still good as long as we trs not seek galer that of a Gibson, it would be the forcment is not for a. As it is an SG trslgre. A little fat as it should but not too much a handle mmicro darker than round, but the bridge pickup a lot of attack.

SOUNDS

This guitar should rev out all the big crunch and distos, cleans for a really sounds gross, a chorus would be welcome ...
I tested it on a Marshall MF350 store (because the best amp c'tait the store while it is using ...) It's good attack model makes you want to play the wholesale spot and it is quite was effective, without being ultra prcise away from her and drooling everywhere and plutt is a good point.
So a good scratch for fans of rock hard rock mtal sending but not too much in (around 350).

OVERALL OPINION

For résumé I test an hour in the store, I like his sound a little fat but retained even when the COD and (even if I prfr red ptant more than the strawberry-crasis), I like the handle for less Access in acute because I think its roundness is not a teachers to go rather quickly.
A good scratching Cheap worth what it's worth, since one does not seek to have the sound of a Gibson 2000 in the hands ...

Domme ge guitar is not Chinese but amricaine n'enlve but its nothing to the line of furious scratching dco is beautiful, and the pienture super strong but white yellow too fast.
the neck has 22 frets gors neither too thin nor too open and deus micro-coil are good Calita.
tipe of the bridge tune-o matic mmalgr and perfect it is far from a can micro acute.
there rglage all possible because it behaves like any good self-respecting SG volume and Antonelli in microphone and three position selector but are parcontre trs capricieus and it works when it has ENVIS
the handle and not too round or too flat and fast but it turned ass REGR of the great fan of the SG is screwed.

UTILIZATION

The handle and the 20 th trs enjoyable j'usqua freight as it is screwed because the two are less facille dernire case of access but having said that there is much more easily than on a Les Paul.
ergonomics and sympascar ass was all the action and you get used to rev faster, convenient for quick morsseau.
the sounds and many tipical has fammille SG but do not expect a selui the gibson, it is believed with a big ataque.

SOUNDS

She agree to parfta rock, hard, but the blues.
I play on an amp marscall G50 R cd ass is old but it goes well with trs is stil scratching.
cline in the guitar sound is not at ease because it makes us a lgre and distortion sounds and trs but believed that it goes all sounds so saturated magi of Guitar comes with a low ass Submitted coarse rock well for the hard jou there is no better now.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar depuit 1 ½ years and it has never j'avous dessu arive on a sortire the sounds you want crystal-clear except in the stratum amon dsspoir great.
I try a lot of ibanez jackson squier before j'avous SG and it fills me.
the RAPORT qualitprix and trs trs well as for only 320 euro it has all the qualities of some guitar over 500 euro so it is largely your price.
if I bought a guitar I refer to Choi because I intend to mount a fliyd pink to have even more Polivalente and to the famous micro mttre gibson.

Epiphone G-310 Emily The Strange LE:
-T This guitar made in China, like all Epiphone hlas ...
It is dowry of 22 frets, 2 humbuckers Epiphone
We found this the classic Epiphone Gibson bridge ... the Tune-o-Matic tailpiece Stopbar an ac!
There at all four knobs, two for each microphone (volume and tone), and 3 positions slecteur
-The neck is mahogany, fairly flat with a rosewood fingerboard, screwed to the body which is lime ...

UTILIZATION

-Handle is quite enjoyable to play, fast enough, the frets are a good size comfortable. The big BMOL ruining everything is that the handle is screwed in contrast to "real" SG o al ... it is because it is a low-end guitar, the neck is a lot of dot game at setting that makes the pitch can vary very easily. Make a bend with the neck and body, you will not go up or down the problem all of a good half-tone ... it therefore lacks enormment narrowly. In addition, the strings have a HUGE trend curling! it is very dsagrable, in addition, the harmonics are dificil rgler and lack of precision enormment.
-Access to the last fret is less easy than the true SG, the handle from touching the micro rhythm (the SG, the frets really go down the table, pinking Access in an acute irrprochable ). That said, one always enjoyable the 22 frets, which is not the case on a Les Paul!
However, the weight is really light, too limited lg! it's not a guitar for a extra quality, the wood is lg ... maybe even against plate. For the form, it is a SG, a little less pronounced relief than a Gibson, but all there! Also note that the look is lgant, the finish is remarkable, however, for the Made In China!
I use a Marshall Valvestate 80w and a multi purpose zoom G2.1u raprocher me ... I get very highly of his Guns N 'Roses or ACDC! micro have a lot of feedback, Feedback and noise are quite Submitted during breaks of play pickup or selector should have a loose connection because in fact ... it works a little when he wants a !

SOUNDS

-The sounds are not bad, quite suited to rock / hard rock sounds clear going well too ... the solos really like to stick microphones in those Slash!
I jou ac dc a Marshall Valvestate 80w, very good amp and I go through a Zoom g2.1u to add a little distortion compressor complter a good round of chorus and some delay will clean sounds good Crystal clear! for sounds fat ... it's not really my genre, but I think the pickups are not really having an extra is a distortion of hell and a decrease of 2-tone tuning!
-The neck pickup has a really good sound, the sounds are clear round, the distortion is self-evident ... the bridge pickup tends to saturate the clean sounds, but it handles distortion very well rhythmic punk!

OVERALL OPINION

"I used this for about a year scratch ...
-It looks really hell, the finish is impcable, for my part, I had no sticker for knobs like that ... at least! and sets the key is enjoyable, fast, fluid, we must try to forget the handle and its attachment really crappy, very sensitive and therefore changing the pitch when one is "based", even lgrement above ... the mcaniques are crap, it does not take the agreements, especially the G string ...
I-beginners, this is my first electric guitar, before I jou a folk ... but over time, and trying other models left and right j'me am appercu that the quality leaves a little DSIR ...
Report quality-price is reasonable, I bought a 250 ... a price low enough to scratch rpondant CRITERIA this price. A squier mm of price would be much worse!
-Indeed, with the exprience I said it really is not worth much but it's a quality level that guitar out of the mouth it is to get out of very good things! I also hope to bought me some time by an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Slash Output December 2007 that makes me really want ... I will not fail to let you know!

This is an SG-type guitar factory in China which includes the CHARACTERISTICS of the Epiphone G310, it possde 22 frets, a bridge-type Tune-O-Matic and a pair of humbuckers.
For rglages, there are two pots volume / tone micro (ie 4 in total) and a 3-position selector.
COD guitar is liberalization and cohrente, cest clearly the highlight of this instrument.
The patterns on the handle are also custom (cat eyes the 12th case), the only BMOL is linked to the stickers that adorn the pots volume / tone, this gives c dtail does a little cheap, I personally took them off.

UTILIZATION

The handle is round and enjoyable to play the guitar is really trslgre, one can spend hours in so far as to disassemble the shoulder is not more ngligeable.
This is my guitar Premire of this form, j'tais more used to the forms type stratocaster but it is not used to it and dplaisante quickly.

SOUNDS

I play in a record rock / hard, we quickly realized that the lack of PCHE and body distortions, a change of micro would be beneficial.
In addition, the electronic is quite capricious, the neck pickup was on when he wants and sometimes you play with the switch to rgler Gnant this problem.

OVERALL OPINION

For over a year since I use it, it's not my main guitar but I come back from time to time as it is enjoyable to play and lightweight, it says the problem my mic is rather shameful on a guitar sold in 300
I still maintain, as we must admit that it has a good face, consider a micro uprgrade if you want to offer you Emily.

Bolt-on neck.

Tune-o-matic and stopbar bridge.

22 frets

Two 700T and 650R humbuckers.

No surprises: it's an SG!

UTILIZATION

Black and varnished neck.

It feels very pleasant and has an ergonomic profile.

It's round like the Invader neck and slimmer than the G400.

Typical SG playability.

Emily The Strange finish, beautiful limited edition.

The guitar is light and well-balanced. Very pleasant to play with.

The unplugged sound is alright.

SOUNDS

Regarding sound,

it's important to notice that I changed the pickups.

Original pickups: 5 points out of 10.

I played it with a Marshall 80/80 and a Roland Micro Cube.

The pickups have an average quality.

The clean sound has no character.

The distortion is a bit better but it's not a Gibson.

Same pickups as on the Epiphone EM-1 and other G 310, you'll need to replace them.

With GFS pickups: 9 out of 10 points

The guitar has a good unplugged sound so it's worth good pickups.

I installed GFS Liverpool Vintage Alnico Humbucker Chrome R12 and R11 pickups.

I played it with a Marshall 80/80 and a Roland Micro Cube.

The sound is totally different.

The clean sound has the typical GFS character.

The distortion is surprising. The guitar doesn't sound like an SG but it sounds good.

The change of pickup does add a lot to the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

Interesting value for money and the guitar has an original look.

I was looking for a nice SG guitar at an affordable price.

As soon as I saw this Epiphone Emily The Strange 'Limited Edition'

I fell in love.

Good manufacturing quality.

The guitar looks even better with the new pickups.

Good value for money even after paying for the replacement pickups.

After buying it I tested an Epiphone G 400, a Gibson Faded, and many copies.

This guitar can't compete with an original SG but it compare fine to all cheap copies.

It does the job after replacing the pickups.

It's a nice-looking guitar (but that's a matter of taste).

You'll find countless forums about it on the web.

It seems to be a trendy guitar.

Based on my experienced I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

It's not a great guitar but it's ok with good pickups.
