I said I'd buy Glen @TalesOfAKISSGeek a guitar, so here it is.
We went to 3 guitar shops. X Music, Jimi's Music Store, and Everest Music.
Played Epiphones, Gretsch, Squire, Sire and Burney guitars and made a decision.

@@caiusmadison2996 Burny is fernandes; you’re thinking of Orville, which is literally Gibson japan. Burny, Greco, and Edwards LPs are “lawsuit” versions of Les Pauls and use the same dimensions, but different types of paint and different hardware

@@caiusmadison2996No, it's not - luckily ;) And in my opinion a Burny is far preferable over a Gibson - they are seriously well built (better than G), a *LOT* cheaper, Burny's play and sound great (I've yet to see a bad one...), and they really hold their value if you would sell it later on.

As an Epiphone Sheraton owner, don't sleep on that as just "the Epiphone version of the 335." It has its own mojo, and it feels better put together than the 335 Dot "inspired by Gibson."

@Tweed_Tone 10 ай бұрын

As a Gibson snob myself I can confirm. I started out on a epiphone ES-335 pro and now own a 59 Murphy lab ES-355. The epiphones are amazing and play great, even more so now. I played a current epiphone Sheraton and it played great. Felt not difference than the Gibson, besides the poly feel which I personally don’t like but is more than manageable. Also the pickups diffently sounded weak but for that price point it’s more than worthy to be a main guitar, especially with how well it played and how easy it was to go up and down the fretboard/bends etc. don’t believe Gibson is “better”, yes they do feel high quality etc but we’re talking 6-8K vs $500-$800 for an amazing epiphone

@Celestion321 10 ай бұрын

@@Tweed_Tone eventually I'm gonna throw in some higher end pickups but I don't have the skill to do it myself nor the money to pay an expert. Semi-hollows are tricky.

335 dot is not "inspired by Gibson" though. Dot is the line that was replaced with "inspired by Gibson". Dot sucks. But I agree with your statement, sheraton then "inspired by Gibson" then dot, is how I'd arrange it.

Burny as a guitar company can make there les paul models as close to gibson and Gibson cant do much about it trademark wise. Gibson attempted to sue burny awhile ago and the court ruled in Burny guitars favor, stating gibson waited to long to file a lawsuit against Burny for trademark agreement. The judge basically said "Guitar players know how to read and they wont be fooled by a headstock that say Burny."

Minor adjustments needed out of the box, but they were things I do on every guitar I buy. Level, crown and polish the frets if needed, adjust truss rod and put new strings on it. Then they were perfect.

Those hollow Gretschs sing. The pickups are very flexible, stylistically. I had a Gretach 2420T for a short time, and one of the first songs I played on it was Enter Sandman. It had issues though, so I returned it to the store. Issues from the store and player abuse, I'd say, not the manufacturer. The local Guitar Center is terrible. I ordered a G5222 in Ocean Turquoise from Sweetwater instead. Absolutely love it.
