I'm looking to buy, and honestly I can't tell what's special about the Fender Stratocaster, and the Fender AMERICAN Stratocaster. Besides the American being 400 more... also:

A Gibson SG and a Gibson Vintage SG

Stratocaster and an older model of one (like a 50s reissue)

I know people think Gibson is better than Epiphone, but is the difference really big enough to spend 2,000 dollars on?

Just bear in mind that the quality of the wood of any vintage instrument is what makes the value of the guitar or bass.

When you buy a vintage, the wood has been aged naturally and with time, these vintage instruments get better and better in sound as the years pass. Also, the value goes up over the years. As for sound, their is a big difference and the hardware is not the same either as well as the pickups.

Even if you buy a re-issue, it still remains a re-issue. Epiphone guitars sound great but don't have the fatt clean sound of their original counterpart as well as the durability. You get what you pay for.

Fender stratocaster are made in Mexico and trust me, the quality is no way near any American made models . The fingerboard is super smooth on the American models whereas on the Mexican models, the frets are rough on the edges and the fingerboard is not as responsive.

Gibson SG Vintage have that dark Ozzy osbourne sound as compared to the newer models which lack presence.

Lastly, the difference is not $2000 between any SG or between a real SG and a Les Paul. If you want the rock osund or blues sound, Gibson is for you. Fenders, on the other hand are nice for guitar Sweeps (arpeggios) and have a cleaner sound with less bottom.

your help is appreciated =]

Epiphones are made by Gibson essentially. Epiphones are not made as well hence they are cheaper. The wood is not the same quality nor are the pick ups or wiring. If you want a long lasting, nice sounding guitar, and it must look like the Les Paul, go for gibson, frankly I prefer the fender telecaster but one thing to remember with guitars, You get what you pay for. Epiphones are not horrible but I have owned a few and a few Gibsons, Gibsons are way better all around, quality, sound, life, etc. If you are starting out as a player, get the epiphone, most ppl give up within a year, if you are already a vet of the stage, get the gibson. IMO, your best bet is to go try them out at a music store. I would never buy a guitar online without playing the exact same guitar in the store first.
Hope this helps, sorry to say, epiphones are pretty poor quality when it comes to guitars. They may say Epiphone by Gibson but that is where the Gibson ends and the Epiphone begins.

If you are that concerned with price, look into a brand called Ibanez, very good guitars for not a lot of money, and for your own sake, go try the guitars out at your local musical instrument shop, pawn shop, or friends house.

1960's Antique Gibson Classical Guitar
Help Me Identify Year/Model. Serial #895098 on headstock. Top has a crack in it, back has very small crack in it as well. On of the tuners is slightly bent, but all seems to operate properly. Guitar tunes fine, and sounds superb! Trying to identify year/model, maybe even value. It's not mint, but neither is Willie's, and take a listen to his...thanks for any help you can offer. Considering E-bay auction. Will try to answer any questions you may have. The bridge is not original.
After some research of my own, and some help from the vintage gibson guitars website, i think this is actually a 1968 Gibson C-O classical acoustic guitar. It has a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, bound top, natural finish. I belive this model was produced from 1961-1971. When i recorded this video i thought it was a model from the 1950's. Sorry for any confusion. This guitar is currently for sale on e-bay.

WHICH GUITAR STYLE IS THE EASIEST TO DO HAMMER-ONS, ETC. ON?

it depends on how you play it and the metal one should be easiest for tapping

im trying to make my guitar looke nice

got no idea, just try it.

I already own a danelectro 59 dc, but am looking to upgrade to something more sophisticated.

I want to invest in a vintage Gibson SG, and am looking on the internet and in various music stores and pawn shops in the area where i live.

Does anyone know of any site that specializes in these types of guitars? I probably won't buy online, but I still want to see all of my options. Here's a picture of a 1964 model:
