Excellent. Review man, thank you. I searched for a while to compare these two

hey Chris, thanks for the video. Cool comparison.

Thanks for the comparison Chris

You made the video I was looking for! Great comparison vid, and I suppose another way of looking at it is whether or not the Gibson sound is worth that many €€€s more in comparison to the AJ220s. I'd still like to have a J45 one day though. Anyway, I have dropped you a sub and a like 👍

Great plain and a great review. Thank you Chris

thanks for the video. i'm loking into an epi :)

i love when you say hey guys chris cates here with you here today....... that is like your signature line lol :P

Thanks for the video! As a former Gibson J45 owner, I’m looking to pick up something inexpensive that is reminiscent of the Gibson. I’m looking at the masterbilts too but this epi sounds pretty damn good at a lower price than the MB’S Cheers!

Bro which one you would have chosen between epiphone aj200 and epiphone pr5e. Please take out some time and reply.

The Sound is perfect

Good job kid! I like the Epi, the neck feels more like an electric which I'm used to.

Thanks! Very helpful!

For anyone claiming the Gibson has much more volume, I can tell them right away they are wrong by default because Epiphone has a larger scale (a bit brighter, more volume, snappier). On the other hand, Gibson sounds more mellow, rounder and slighty defined. Everytime I go inside a comment section, I notice the opinions are based on pure auto-suggestion (almost always in favor of more expensive brand). Listen with your ears not your eyes muchachos.

0:33 AJ 1:27 J45

Red Hot yeah!!! Thanks!

How does it feel in the hands? Intonation, and all

Hey What string are you using?

Definitely similar... No doubt you know what to hear for the Gibson is better but not worth the price today....

Epiphone sounds lighter, less substantial. Looking for an epiphone comparable to a Gibson Country Western Supreme Any thoughts?

The Gibson sounds better, but not enough better to justify the price. I am also disappointed with my martin X series. Sounds horrible plugged in. I just got my epiphone AJ210CE yesterday and it beats the Martin for sure costs only half as much and comes with a hardshell case.

SOUND SIMILAR TO EACH... GIBSON IS MY DREAM GUITAR TO OWN SOMEDAY..

Sadly, the AJ220s sounds a little boxy...if thats a word. However, the intonation on the AJ I played was spot on, better than some American guitars. I do wonder why Epiphone uses Okoume for their neck woods on the 220S. Hopefully the neck will stand the test of time.

Seems like the Gibson has a deeper tone

The Epi doesn't sound bad but Gawd Damm that Gibby J45 sounds like an acoustic should sound. I couldn't unload my "piece of shit" D28 fast enough and buy my J45 Custom. The J45 is definitely a Pro Guitar.

Are you kidding....there is NO comparison!
