Guitar Rig 3
If you use a Mac, you probably already know that Guitar Rig is one of the best amp modellers there is and Guitar Player Gear Guide has a tutorial on using it to add effects to your tracks.
It looks like it was lifted from a post by Jim Dalrymple on Gibson.com, so you may want to check out the original here.

As part of my ongoing campaign to spread the word about Fretboard. I’ve set up a FaceBook page. If you’re a FaceBook member, it would be great if you could become a ‘fan’ of the page and tell your FaceBook friends who play or are interested in Epiphone guitars about it and the site.

The Epiphone Les Paul
If there’s a single electric guitar range that’s synonymous with the Epiphone range, and in particular its Gibson copies, it’s the Les Paul. Epiphone currently lists 19 Les Paul guitars in its line-up, including legends like the Les Paul Custom, Les Paul Studio, and the Les Paul Junior.

Every once in a while, I thought it would be fun to post videos of pretty much anything related to Epiphone guitars or amps. First up is a guy from The Next Level Guitars demonstrating the differences between an Epiphone Les Paul and a Gibson Les Paul. Click Continue, below, to see it.
Epiphone Sheraton
The Epiphone Sheraton was one of the first Epiphone electric guitars to be made following the purchase of the company by Gibson, appearing a year after the Casino in 1959. The Epiphone Sheraton is a double-cut thinline, semi-hollow-bodied guitar with twin humbuckers.
