			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/epiphone_les_paul_standard_plus.jpg" alt="Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus" /><em><br />
Flamed Maple top. 2 humbuckers.</em></p>
<p>The Les Paul guitar is synonymous with Rock and Roll. No other guitar gives you the power, the sustain and the sound of a Les Paul. If it&#8217;s got Les Paul&#8217;s signature on the headstock, it&#8217;s the real thing&#8230; Accept no substitutes! Authorized by Gibson USA!</p>
<p><strong>Feature:</strong><br />
This guitar has everything you need. A full stack of tone and volume controls, dual hum buckers, a set neck and an extremely nice finish. Looks awesome!!</p>
<p>For the price range, the cosmetics are very nice; the color and texture of the cherry flame finish looks really cool! The only minor things that occurred were with the pickup toggle switch and the strap lock post near the neck; these are common problems that occur even with Gibson’s. Both were easily fixed by using epoxy to affix the strap post back in place, and taking off the toggle switch and re-soldering it; both are fine now without any further problems. The pickups are factory stock Gibson PAF&#8217;s and they sound great; I&#8217;d never replace them unless they went out. You would tested both pickups on an output meter and they were &#8220;hot&#8221;, peaking at 15; that&#8217;s pretty good (and loud) for stock pickups! <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--EPILPSTDPL">Click here for more features!</a></p>
<p><strong>Quality:</strong><br />
The quality of the electronics can be improved on this guitar to level it with competition.<br />
Sounds like a much more expensive guitar. Very clean when distortion is off, sounds really great when heavy distortion is on. Great with effects, sounds better than indie&#8217;s,  rock, fenders.</p>
<p><strong>Sound:</strong><br />
It sounds pretty good right out of the box, but the suggestion may you would strongly replacing the strings and taking it for a professional setup, it makes a big difference. The wood is great, and you can get good tone from it, there are better Les Paul, with better wood and pickups for more money, but this should satisfy all players who don&#8217;t have extra money to throw around. Your guitar teacher will very impress with this guitar.</p>
<p><strong>Value:</strong><br />
Best guitar on the market for the money.  Well worth the price compared to Gibson Les Paul. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--EPILPSTDPL">Check latest price!</a></p>
<p><strong>Desirability:</strong><br />
Everyone who sees this baby wants to pick up and play it. Cause this is beautiful color (Wine Red), excellent finish.</p>
<p><strong>Ease of Use:</strong><br />
This guitar is very playable it has a great action on it and the neck is perfect. It&#8217;s easy to get great sounds. But for beginners so a little hard work because once you&#8217;ve tried this you can&#8217;t adapt to crappy guitars.</p>
<p><strong>Overall:</strong><br />
Great guitar, good price, nice craftsmanship, good sound, good looks, and for having fun!!! Playing in a band a little more serious about your music get the real Epiphone Les Pauls sound good look good can&#8217;t go wrong with them!</p>

<em>Carved Maple top. Mahogany back.</em></p>
<p>The Les Paul Studio enhances the solid, proven design of the world&#8217;s most famous guitar with a wide choice of finishes, a sleek, no-frills look. The Les Paul Studio is the favorite of guitarists who demand traditional Les Paul performance with a modern attitude.</p>
<p><strong>About the Les Paul Series</strong><br />
No matter where Gibson Les Paul is seen - in the hands of a star performer, silhouetted in a guitar dealer&#8217;s ad, or cast in brass and incorporated into the architecture of a restaurant - it is universally recognized as the symbol of rock and roll music. From the basic no-frills guitars to elegant showpieces, the guitars of Les Paul are the standard-bearers of Gibson&#8217;s excellence. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--GIBLPSTU">More Details!</a></p>
<p><strong>Feature:</strong><br />
The tune-o-matic bridge feels good! Great features are the 2 controls for each pickup!!! 2 volumes, 2 tune, 3 way switch. The tuners are high grade as is the finish. The features on the guitar itself are exactly what one expects when one purchases a Gibson. Nice warranty. Even the case that comes with this guitar is fantastic, sturdy, and very well made-nice on the inside to protect the guitar along with a &#8216;top sheet&#8217;.<br />
The tone and volume knobs are easy to use, the pick-ups are fantastic, and the toggle switch gave you no problems at all. When you buy this guitar, it is no need to change because it is already a A+ in your book.</p>
<p><strong>Quality:</strong><br />
It came with a few small cosmetic blemishes in odd places, like near the strap bolt by the neck. The frets were pretty good. The intonation and almost perfect intonation (like a 9.9 out of 10). It’s pretty good considering the horror stories.</p>
<p>Gibson has been great with quality and is good about fixing any problems. Other than that the materials used, the finish, fit and feel are top notch.</p>
<p><strong>Sound:</strong><br />
The tone of this guitar is classic. That means it will never go out of style and in fact had a large part in inventing the style. It is full and inspiring. Sounds the way a Les Paul should:  great sound, nice, very smooth, warm tone, goes great with each channels (clean and overdrive), can get blues or hell anything out of it like acdc, or some aerosmith and etc. There are guitars out there that sound like this, though they are hard to find.  There is no other way to describe this sound. Perfect for you indie-lock and alternative fans and classic rock. Just add reverb to this thing and it sounds amazing! Playable to jazz and this thing can sound very lovely clean. This thing is meant to rock out.</p>
<p><strong>Value:</strong><br />
You get what you pay for-a great guitar. These guitars have kept their value and you will notice that they go up in value after years. It is a benchmark sort of thing and this represents an excellent investment. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--GIBLPSTU">Check latest price!</a></p>
<p><strong>Ease of Use:</strong><br />
Everything is easy to use. All depends on how you play. If you&#8217;re a blues bender, you&#8217;d love it. But if you want to unleash some shredding fury, look elsewhere. The neck is thick comfartable and you can get around it easily, especially on the high frets, and you find it hard to believe that so many of the world&#8217;s greatest shredders actually used it.</p>
<p><strong>Desirability:</strong><br />
Pretty guitar, great sound, feels lighter than the standard which is nice for the shoulder. Give many positive reviews on the looks of the guitar. This is because Gibson is known very well for paying attention to detail on aesthetics.</p>
<p><strong>Overall:</strong><br />
You&#8217;ll be happy with this for the rest of your life that you continue to make and play music.</p>

What is the meaning trivia? The original Latin (tri = “three”, and via = “way”, “road”), plural of trivium ‘place where three roads meet’, especially as a place of public resort.</p>
<p>In the 1960s years ago, the word “trivia” was popularized by Columbia University student ED Goodgold and Dab Carlinsky, who created the earliest inter-collegiate quiz bowls that tested culturally significant yet ultimately unimportant fact, which they dubbed “trivia contest”.</p>
<p>Quiz bowl (also known as Quiz bowl, Scholastic Bowl, Brain Bowl, Academic Team, Academic Varsity Bowl, Academic Challenge, Whiz Quiz, etc) is a question game family and answers on all topics of human knowledge, commonly played in high school and college. The game is played with a lockout buzzer system between some numbers of teams, most commonly two teams of four players each. A moderator reads questions to the teams, whose players endeavor to buzz in first with the correct answer, scoring points for their team.</p>
<p>The quiz bowls is game as &#8220;Trivia&#8221; was in a Columbia Daily Spectator column published on February 5, 1965 was held in Columbia&#8217;s Ferris Booth Hall on March 1 of that year.</p>
<p>In the 1960s Goodgold and Carlinsky produced books which explain about trivia (the book was an extension of the pair’s Columbia and was followed by other Goodgold and Carlinsky trivia titles) and More Trivial Trivia in Columbia (the authors criticized practitioners who were &#8220;indiscriminate enough to confuse the flower of Trivia with the weed of minutiae), which achieved a ranking on the New York Time best seller list.</p>
<p>If you want try such <a href="http://www.triviamania.com/">online trivia</a> games you can go to <a href="http://www.triviamania.com/">http://www.triviamania.com/</a>. You will meet an exciting trivia games that will really put anyone with trivia skills to the test. The first game is All-In Trivia, a poker-style trivia game where you can bet, bluff, or fold. The second is First-2-Five, a game where the first player to answer five questions correctly wins.  You can challenge your friends, or anyone else playing online at the time, to a real-time <a href="http://www.triviamania.com/">online trivia</a> showdown.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guitar is a popular musical instrument. Modern guitar is played by Romans around 40 AD. We can divide guitars into two categories acoustic and electric. Basically the part of both acoustic and electric guitar are same.</p>
<p>Before we start to learn <a href="http://www.jamdojo.com/">how to play guitar</a>, we need to know the guitar parts first. You must know the parts well. After you know the parts well you can tune and <a href="http://www.jamdojo.com/learntoplayguitar">learn to play guitar</a> well.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/strings1.jpg" alt="Guitar Strings" /><br />
Strings<br />
</strong>A normal guitar has six strings. Metal strings are used by electric guitar. Nylon strings are used by acoustic guitar. String is the important part of guitar. By picking or plucking the strings, guitar produces the notes of the guitar. Without strings, guitar can’t produce any sound.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/frets.jpg" alt="Guitar Frets" /><br />
Frets<br />
</strong>Frets are the small metal that divides the guitar into sections from top to bottom. The fret location is calculated by specific mathematical formula. Pressing a string a fret against fret will make a string’s vibrating length different. The different of vibrating length will make a different sound when the string is picked.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/guitar_headstock.jpg" alt="Guitar Headstock" /><br />
Headstock<br />
</strong>Headstock is located at the end of the guitar neck. It’s the most top part of the guitar. The tuning pegs are located in this area.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/tuning_pegs.jpg" alt="Guitar Tuning Pegs" /><br />
Tuning Pegs<br />
</strong>Tuning Pegs are parts where user allows adjusting the pitch of the strings.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/nut.jpg" alt="Nut" /><br />
Nut<br />
</strong>The small strip where located at where the headstock meets the neck. Usually nut is made from bone, plastic or other medium hard material.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/neck.jpg" alt="Guitar Neck" /><br />
Neck<br />
</strong>Neck is the longest part of the guitar where the frets and strings are located.</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/body.jpg" alt="Guitar Body" /><br />
Body<br />
</strong>Body is the largest part of the guitar. In acoustic guitar there is a sound whole in the center of the body.</p>
<p>If you already know that parts you can start to learn <a href="http://www.jamdojo.com/howtoplayguitar">how to play guitar</a>.</p>

EMG 81 or Duncan JB/59 pickup sets. Set-neck.<br />
The EC1000 features EMG 81 pickups (or Seymour Duncan JB/59 Zebra), set-neck design, Mahogany body and neck, a Rosewood fingerboard, ESP&#8217;s excellent TonePros System II locking bridge, and 24 extra jumbo frets.</p>
<p><strong>Feature:<br />
</strong>The features and pretty simple but they&#8217;re some of the best quality you can get. Sperzel lockin&#8217; tuners Tonepro&#8217;s bridge are great, makes string changing breeze. You love the tone pros bridge. 2 vol. knobs 1 tone. gives plenty of different sounds. Dual Humbucker set up. The ability to control the sound of each pickup individually is the most important feature that this guitar possesses. It allows you to pinpoint the exact sound and tone that you want out of the guitar. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--ESPEC1000">More features!</a></p>
<p><strong>Quality:<br />
</strong>This guitar came to be almost perfect. Everything was great expected the G string was too short so 30 minutes into playing it, the string liked shot out of it. It didn&#8217;t snap it just like shot out of the tailpiece. I tried putting it back in but it was too short.</p>
<p><strong>Sound:<br />
</strong>The EMG’s really making this thing sing! About this can not say enough good things about this axe. If you play rock, your search is over.</p>
<p><strong>Value:<br />
</strong>This guitar is worth it looks better than a Gibson sounds better easier to use. This price is just outrage sly inexpensive. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--ESPEC1000">Check latest price!</a></p>
<p><strong>Ease of Use:<br />
</strong>Not much to say here, it&#8217;s pretty much as simple as this: pick it up, adjust the volume, and play.</p>
<p><strong>Desirability:<br />
</strong>Mine&#8217;s see-through-cherry, and very stunning. At first I hated the Abalone, but in time I&#8217;ve really started liking it on this guitar. Normally I&#8217;d say it made it look gaudy, but I dig the prisim effect the Abalone gives off in certain light.</p>
<p><strong>Overall:<br />
</strong>One of the best investments ever you made. You wouldn&#8217;t give this guitar a perfect score if you didn&#8217;t mean it. This guitar is one of ESP&#8217;s finest, rights up there with the Eclipse. Great looks, deadly tone, and a reasonable price, you can&#8217;t go wrong.</p>

2 humbuckers. Maple top.</p>
<p>If you can handle everything about the Les Paul except the price, check this out. Engineers designed this modern classic with the arched top and fast neck of the best Les Pauls. It has an arched, figured curly Maple, carved top in faded sunburst finishes for that great LP look. And like all Les Pauls, features a solid glued neck joint for great sustain and stability. These guitars are built to 100% Gibson specifications. Since 1910 Epiphone has been building quality instruments and this Les Paul Standard will only enhance their great reputation. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--EPIENSP">More Info!</a></p>
<p><strong>Feature:<br />
</strong>The features of this instrument are really good also the toggle witch from Trebble to Rythym and combination is a great feature that fits well with many styles. The hardware and components are perfect, nothing is wrong with it. It included a gator case which is worth about 120 bucks. It also included a free cord. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--EPIENSP">Click here for more feature!</a></p>
<p><strong>Quality:<br />
</strong>This guitar is great, but has notice two things. First, the pickup switch seems cheap; it wiggles from side to side as well as up and down. Second, under the bridge, the varnish didn&#8217;t get applied there, and might you feel and see bare wood. Other than that, this guitar is great.</p>
<p><strong>Sound:<br />
</strong>Incredible sound!, the pickups are great, it has a lot better sustain than others. Being an epiphone, it still delivers that thick, gritty, heavy metal sound you expect from a les paul. Ability to play a lot of southern rock and hard rock and it able fits them both. The rhythm is nice for more bluesy sounding</p>
<p><strong>Value:<br />
</strong>For the price you can’t go wrong. This guitar is definitely worth the price, but the Les Paul 100 is just as good for eight hundred dollars. The price of everything on this site is so low. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--EPIENSP">Click here for latest price!</a></p>
<p><strong>Ease of Use:<br />
</strong>It was very easy to get great sounds. Just turn it on and you will fall in love with it. Treble or rhythm whatever fits you. It is perfect for your personal taste of metal/ modern rock. Tone controls help to modify to your liking. Extremely playable axe that is very forgiving and the raised bridge makes it a breeze for soloing.</p>
<p><strong>Desirability:<br />
</strong>This guitar looks really good. The top is the best. Although it needed to be waxed, it is a good look. The wood grain and color on the actual guitar is 1,000 times better than the website does justice to it.</p>
<p><strong>Overall:<br />
</strong>This is a great buy for anyone interested in getting a Les Paul, This is amazing guitar for its price sounds good. Its looks great, plays amazingly!, has a real down and clear tone and is well built.<br />

<em>2 channels. 2 modes per channel. Footswitch included.</em></p>
<p>Boasting the same impressive features and staggering versatility of the MG100DFX combo, this awesome, 100-watt head will drive any cabinet from the Marshall range, but is best suited to the Celestine loaded MG412A (angled) and MG412B (straight) 120W 4&#215;12 in. cabinets. Unbelievable tone, feel, and projection come as standard. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--MSHMG100HDFX">More Info!</a></p>
<p><strong>Feature: </strong><br />
Good features came with the footswitch which is good. And it had a lot of knobs, different set of knobs for the clean channel. The amp comes with several sockets for cables and stuff. It comes with a cable to plug it in with and comes with the foot switch which is awesome. The Footswitch could have more settings, like with the digital effects. It’s hard to dial the amount of effect u want during a gig. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--MSHMG100HDFX">More Features!</a></p>
<p><strong>Quality:</strong><br />
This thing is built like a tank. It is completely solid and reliable. It is also quite light.<br />
The power amps on these babies go out more often than a cheap light bulb, like the guy said, keep your receipt, or better yet, save up for something reliable.</p>
<p><strong>Sound:</strong><br />
The sound is really good so far. This <a href="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/category/guitar-amp/">guitar amp</a> has a True Marshall sound. The Digital setting for a model tube amp sounds better used than without. If you’re looking for a true Marshall sound and that legend distortion, this is the amp for you.</p>
<p>You can tried a couple of the standard settings like metal and lead and you will really pleased with the metal setting as you play metal in a couple of bands and rock in another band.</p>
<p><strong>Value:</strong><br />
This is great for its price. The sounds are good at a fraction of the cost of any tube amps and a lot of solid state amps. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--MSHMG100HDFX">Check Latest Price!</a></p>
<p><strong>Ease of Use:</strong><br />
Very easy to use, the only thing that would make it more &#8220;perfect&#8221; would be to make the &#8220;modes&#8221; footswitch able as well, like from Clean to Crunch on channel 1. The DSL also suffers from this shortcoming. If this is the magic amp for you though, it might be worth having it professionally modified to have these footswitch able.</p>
<p><strong>Desirability:</strong><br />
This amp is beautiful; the gold looks awesome against the black of the amp. Sex appeal full stack looks cool on stage</p>
<p>The Marshall name has been responsible for the birth of many children. That gut. Crotch grabbing tone is going to vastly improve you chances of going way over your head in the interest in sex department. Maybe consider a shower and oral hygiene.</p>
<p><strong>Overall:</strong><br />
Will not be searching for any other product in the future, this thing is perfect.<br />
It&#8217;s good for your purposes (home use), but you can see that it would be a good gig item if you aren&#8217;t worried about a glitch once in a while. Or, if you’re a young person on a budget and want that Marshall name on stage behind you.</p>
