I recently had a similar experience as Rob but took it a slightly different direction and also tried a PRS SE CU24. I ended up liking the PRS more than both the Gibson and the Epiphone, but the Epiphone was no slouch either. Import guitars have really stepped their game up.

Great video, as always. Interested in statement @15:05 "There is no reason to buy a Gibson over an Epiphone unless..." Reading between the lines here, but (following the creation in the UK of GAP - GuitarGuitar/Andersons/PMT - to act as a large distribution co. with impressive collective buying power) is LA sounding a very strong warning shot to Gibson for the future? i.e., what he's really saying is: 'Don't dictate to us retailers what numbers we have to take and what brands we can and cannot promote alongside the Gibson wall. WE will tell YOU how many Gibsons we want to take, and WE will stock/sell/show other brands in our retail outlets exactly as WE want to.'

Personal note, I have been watching Chappers and the Captain for a few years now and let me tell you, Thank you very much for providing hours and hours of entertainment and useful gear knowledge. There have been some grey days where your show has really brightened an otherwise cloudy day. Cheers and thank you very much. As for this episode, Geaux Epiphone. All 3 of my Les Paul style guitars are Epi's, Zakk Wylde sigs, so I am bias. As always, I love the blind fold challenge. Question, does Andertons stock The Heritage, H 150? If so, would love to see a review.

@polaritypictures 5 жыл бұрын

I own both companies guitars and both types of pickups, you can tell the differance between the pickups. if you really get a good setup and finishing on a guitar it'll be hard to tell, but the probuckers are noticable for being a bit flat, the burstbuckers have a bit more range and sing more. Also most epi's use the crappy cheap green caps and cheap pots.

I have the Epiphone Plus Top Pro - the one Rob thought was the Gibson at the end. I am only mildly surprised at his confusion - and he is GREAT at this. I have been telling people the coil splitting Probucker pickups and overall fit and finish on this guitar is truly amazing - as good as any Gibson LP I've ever played. Now I see that the maestro Rob Chapman apparently agrees. Save your money people unless you just need the snob factor!

No. Also feel. In my opinion, the Epiphone neck feels a bit like plastic. I like that it is very smooth and that the finish looks pretty neat and is robust. But it ends up making the guitar feel like it's plastic.... The tone is noticeable. But it's marginal and can go either way.
