Really? You talking epiphone les Paul or Gibson? The epiphone run $499 all over, but my guitar shop has them for $599😡

@@diggindaddy5381 he's talking Gibson because that's the comparison at the end of the video

No apostrophe is used to pluralize a word.

There’s no Gibson used LP studios in my neck of the woods for 649 bucks. Besides this Epi LP modern is an awesome buy on its own!

Save up twice as long get something 3 times as good! My advice bro

@@shaneelvis1699 I wouldn’t recommend it now. Used guitar market seems to have gone insane, and you can’t really seem to find any in stock. I would say wait it out if you were going to buy a really good guitar.

I don't know if you pulled the trigger on either the Epi or Gibson version of this guitar, but here's my own two cents on whether or not to get the Epiphone version of this guitar followed by why. Unless you feel you need to have the Gibson logo on the headstock, and unless you feel you need to be able to say that it's a Gibson, I would get the Epiphone version. Now the why. I have the Gibson Pelham Blue Les Paul Modern and absolutely love the guitar. It's pretty much spot on with every single detail and I absolutely love the asymmetrical slim taper neck on it. I have mild carpal tunnel and this neck bothers my fretting hand the absolute least of any of my guitars. However, there are instances in which I don't want to carry my $2700 dollar guitar with me, so I purchased the Epiphone version of the same guitar, even the same color. After playing the Epiphone version I can flat out say that there is no reason to purchase the Gibson version. There are some subtle differences, but they really are minor. One difference is that the Gibson model has a compound radius fretboard whereas the Epi version is just the 12 inch radius up and down the neck. Both models, however, have the asymmetrical slim taper neck profile on the back. The pickups don't sound exactly the same, and I think the Epi pickups are using Alnico 2 magnets as opposed to the Alnico 5 in the Gibson Burstucker Pro and Plus models in their guitars. I could be wrong about the magnets, but I believe this is the difference. However it's not so much of a difference that I've felt the need to upgrade the pickups or look into swapping out the magnets. So, soundwise there is a minor difference, but really it's not enough to spend another 2000 dollars for the Gibson. These Epiphone Probuckers are pretty da*m good. The Epiphone doesn't have as many coil splitting/tapping options as the Gibson version. To me that's a minor thing as I don't really use those features, but for some it could be a game changer. The Epiphone just stays in tune. My Gibson, on the other hand, I had to have a new nut put in and even after that I had to put on one of those String Butler gadgets to change the overall break angle of the strings behind the nut. After that the Gibson stays in tune really well, but I didn't have to do anything at all to the Epiphone. I'm thinking the break angle of the Epi headstock might be slightly different than the Gibson(?) but don't quote me on that. Both guitars play equally well, the finish on both are spot on, fret work on both were excellent. The Gibson has a slight ghost/wolf tone on the G string on every fret that noone has been able to pin down the cause of. All frets are level, the neck is straight, there is no retainer wire on the bridge of these guitars, no loose parts/screws etc. It's a mystery, but it's very, very slight and I'm the only one who hears it except for the two luthiers that I took it to; they can hear it but anyone else that hears me play doesn't notice it at all. The Epiphone doesn't have this problem. So, overall I do love the Gibson and when at home that's my main guitar that I use. However, I also play the Epiphone quite a bit and that's what I use if I'm playing anywhere other than the house. If I had it to do over again I would have just bought the Epiphone.

@@ronpipes1988 Thanks for the advice, appreciate the fact you have both versions and did an in depth guide. I dont own any Epis but if I went for a Les Paul type guitar this might be the one.

I got a used modern figured for $460 plus tax with free shipping and I'm extremely happy with it. It's in near mint condition and I really don't think there's much better of a deal to be had. It does absolutely everything I want, feels great, sounds even better, and is well built. I feel absolutely no need to shell out the money for a Gibson.

That’s exactly what I am considering and for the exact same reasons.

enough with the 'staying safe' crap ... we get enough of that propaganda from the news. lol

but the vol pots are on/off switches....

my god theyre the ugliest thing i ever saw on a guitar LOL to each their own, right?

@@mbellizia75 agree, the knobs would be the first thing I change. I cannot stand this clear knob fad going on.

These are fantastic- enjoy it!

you were first

@@gabemots5200 ah really! That's cool! I'm not usually this fast haha

@@avnorth6749 thats not what she said ! lol

@@malcolmhardwick4258 😂😂😂😂😂

Tell me about that Epiphone 339. Do you think the build and sound is quality? How is the touch response?

For an epiphone maybe... But there are tons of guitars with better specs that are priced lower... Still, the quality/price ratio is much higher than any Gibson's, so I guess we should be happy(?)

That’s for sure and for certain.

It's a really good guitar.

Yesss please!

What is Agufish?

I just took delivery of a Harely Benton T style yesterday... in having a hard time finding any fault with it. Can’t believe the amount of guitar for the price.

@@JMac. yeah. I took a punt and bought a harley benton electro acoustic classical guitar because it was so cheap that I thought if it turns out crap, well then I haven't lost a fortune or anything. And I absolutely love it. The thing plays so well, has rock hard tuning stability, and the pickup system is a Fishman pickup system and even with a normal electric guitar amp (as opposed to an acoustic amp) it sounds great. Maybe I'll get an acoustic processor pedal thing one day but I don't really need it. And throw on some distortion or fuzz and the thing actually sounds good doing that. Though usually I just use some chorus and reverb Anyway yeah I'm gonna buy 3 or 4 more harley bentons once the pandemic is over. I've been wanting to modify a tele to put in gretsch filtertron style pickups for ages now, and Harley Benton sell that exact thing, so no routing required. I'll swap the pickups out for some of the Seymour Duncan filtertron style ones, or maybe Lollar or something. But yeah other than that, it'll basically be a solid body gretsch but with the longer fender style scale length and neck style, and cos I learned on a fender strat I always play much better on anything fender style. Also they sell a telecaster with 2 p90s. I'm trying to decide between either that or the goldtop Les Paul with 2 p90s that they sell. P90s are the best guitar pickups bar none and nobody can convince me otherwise. It helps I'm in the UK, so the cost of everything to ship from Germany is so much cheaper than if I was in say north America.
