Short answer. Yes.
Long answer: It is, what it is. It is a real guitar, and they are a low end Epiphone. Epiphone has some very nice profesional guitars including some of their Les Paul guitars. However, they also have some lower end "toyish" guitars that are "decent" but can be built out to be a fine guitar. Between me and my daughter, we own several Gibson, and several Epiphone guitars and Les Pauls. The daughter has one Goth model Epi Les Paul that new sold for about $400, but I rebuilt it a couple years ago with CTS electronics and Russian PIO caps, a nice set up, and it plays as well as any Gibson Les Paul. In fact, much better than an off the shelf Gibson. The PeeWees are of the Low end variety, but, with an electronic upgrade which is what I have done to one of my PeeWees, is an awesome little axe and plays well. Off the shelf, they need allot of work to really be a viable guitar, but for just over $100 off the shelf are a hoot to play, and I love them. But for serious playing, ya need to sink a bit of work and money in them. I have about $300 in my PeeWee and if you can get over the toyish look and size of it, it can jam with the best of them, lol.. The body is plywood though, which can be considered a weakness, but on mine, I gave mine a new body of solid Mahogany (which is really overkill IMHO for what it is). But, I am a Mahogany hound/snob, hahhah.. You can pick them up cheap used for under $100, and for a Bengie, tons of fun to play. A little set up know how, and tinkering, worth the money.. But most "guitarists" can't seem to get past the "un_cool" size of it. Me? Im too old and way past trying to go for the "cool" Slash look, lol..
What's your take on the PeeWee's.
Are they worth the money?
