Crescendo is the authorized Philippine dealer for Epiphone http://www.epiphone.com/Support/Dealers.aspx?mappath=/Support/Dealers/Asia/Philippines. Crescendo also carries Gibson. Definitely no fakes here.

 

Epiphone guitars are now exclusively made in China at Gibson/Epiphone owned factory in Qingdao.

^ good to know. atleast di na kailangan magpa ship. I noticed though that the craftsmanship of the guitars were medyo lacking compared to ones i've seen from musician friends thus me being a bit skeptic

[muffinguitar]

Try first the guitar for you to ensure its quality based on your preferred grip...

 

Goodluck guitar masters!

I think I'd still prefer getting Epiphones/Gibsons from Lazer or rmansh of philmusic

Oo naman, it's like comparing it from Orange to Dalandan...

I saw the Epiphones sold at Lazer a couple of months ago, but the models are limited to the entry-level models (no Gibsons) but I found them overpriced compared to Crescendo's prices. They're probably just finishing up their remaining stocks kasi Crescendo took over. If you read Philmusic thread, there's this observation that Lazer's prices are really overpriced compared to Crescendo.

 

I did get to check out a Crescendo store recently and they do have more models available for both Epiphone and Gibson and the prices seems OK.

 

Another source for Epiphone is that I learned from Philmusic is Guitar Pusher. They're cheaper than Crescendo http://www.facebook.com/guitarpusher.

The distressed series, like the others, are great at aesthetics lang naman yung mukhang kupas dun pero in terms of electronics and hardware bago paren mga yun. As for the sound ok sya, although yung na try ko yung ST series.

Hi MTC guitaristas!

 

I'm really happy to see this thread. I've been playing guitar since high school, tamang tipa lang talaga wala kasi akong alam sa technicality ng music.

Pag dating naman sa gamit, I'm also a noob. My gears: Fender Strat, Zoom 505 (yes, the old variant) and Roland Cube 15X. I hope I can find some tips on how to learn how to play guitar properly.

 

Cheers!
