Big sound on a budget is more than a tagline-it’s a revolution in modern guitar tone. Today’s top artists are proving that big sound on a budget isn’t just possible-it’s powerful.
For decades, Epiphone has stood as Gibson’s more accessible cousin. But don’t mistake affordability for compromise. From garage stages to global festivals, Epiphone guitars are in the hands of respected, genre-defining artists around the world.
Jared James Nichols doesn’t just play Epiphone-he redefines it. His signature “Old Glory” and “Gold Glory” Les Paul Custom models feature a single pickup, built for raw blues-rock. Nichols never uses a pick, yet his tone remains massive and expressive. His style proves Epiphone can match any premium guitar on tone and feel.
Yes, that Noel Gallagher. His Epiphone Supernova in the Union Jack finish became an icon during the ’90s Oasis era. Even today, Gallagher uses Epiphone semi-hollow models onstage and in studio. The sound and feel suit his songwriting, offering a tone that cuts through with clarity and warmth.
Lzzy Hale’s signature Explorer features gold hardware, an Alpine White finish, and custom pickups. The bold design matches her voice–fierce and fiery. It’s a favorite among players who want their guitar to make a statement while delivering on tone.
Tommy Thayer’s “White Lightning” Les Paul is built to handle KISS’s high-output, high-energy shows. Sleek looks and powerful pickups make it a tour-ready machine. Thayer proves Epiphone guitars can shine under arena lights.
Emily Wolfe’s Sheraton Stealth model combines elegance with punch. She fuses rock, indie, and blues, creating her sound with an Epiphone designed to reflect her artistic voice. Her guitar is not a replica-it’s an extension of her creative identity.
