I just got mine today and mind you, I've played epiphones for almost 20yrs now. I'm really impressed. The frets were a tad gritty (fixed while doing setup) but other than that she's a player. Love the thin neck, ebony board, and pickup set. Threw on some NYXL's and it got even better. The case was decent. I wish they had used a higher quality tail and bridge though. Between these and the 59 limited edition models, epi is doing a great job!

@jeremyobriant7266 Жыл бұрын

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Trivium is one of my favourite bands of all-time, Matt is a super-cool, talented, down-to-earth guy, but that price tag is ridiculous compared to the Epiphone Prophecy series, which are amazing. There are a few upsides, like the fact you can get a seven-string Origin, but for a Fishman-loaded guitar, the Prophecy series just seems a better deal. I think this is largely influenced by the fact that I had the O.G. Epiphone Matt Heafy LP and it was like $650. Still a very cool series of guitars and nothing but love for Matt and the band, but after all the time waiting for these, I was slightly disappointed by the price tag. Also, In Waves is by far my favourite Trivium album, followed by Shogun and Ascendancy. I also have a soft spot for The Crusade. The new albums have also been amazing. It's hard to choose which ones are "best" as they're all great. Nostalgia rules, though!

@CraigCrider Жыл бұрын

Seems like the extra $$$ is basically for the case. I've got a Prophecy, and I love it, but I'm intrigued by the 22 frets (I don't solo) and the different neck shape. Meh, it's probably splitting hairs (although that black/gold is f-ing sexy). Damn, I want to go play!

@jeremyobriant7266 Жыл бұрын

@@CraigCrider That'd be an expensive case! Really though, you're right to a degree. If you take off $150 for the case, you're paying $300 for the name on the headstock. A lot of Epiphone signatures have a higher price tag, which is sad. You used to be able to get a signature for the same price as a standard run, it just depended on whether you liked the guitar or not. Neck shape and frets, etc. can be a factor. I'm not a big soloist but I'll take 24 frets over 22 if it's an option just to have them. 🤘🏼

@Andrew_182 Жыл бұрын

I get where you're coming from, I was waiting for these to drop and I ended up grabbing an LTD EC1000 instead because I got impatient. I don't regret it at all because I love the thin U neck profile and the extra jumbo stainless frets and fishmans, the comfort carves, and all the rest of the stuff Hunter mentioned in the video. Plus I got it new from sweetwater for less than these run. But saying that, I don't think this is a terrible deal compared to the prophecy considering you get a hardshell case with them and considering the the artist fee.

Yeah the tradeoff as someone who likes Jacksons too is the fret size. Would have been perfect with extra jumbos. I went with an ec1000 because I got impatient waiting for these and after trying one out (while its awesome) Im happier with my choice because I could deal with the 42mm nut width with extra jumbo stainless frets more happily than the 43mm with the "med jumbo" on these.

I picked a non-MH EPI custom at my local GC a couple of months ago and was shocked that it had such a thin D shape neck. I have played Ibanez and Jackson for decades so I am a huge fan of a thin D neck profile. I could definitely play one of these. Except I hate gold hardware. Lol......

To add now that I’ve finished watching the video. I NEED a 7-string Explorer release. I dig the LP’s and I too fell in love with them cause of the Gunshot video and dreamt of getting a LP. I obviously couldn’t get a proper Gibson in high school so I was going to “settle” on something similar and get an EC-1000. Ended up not getting either and stayed on my Jackson path to where we’re at now. Now, I’ve no desire to have a LP. I played his original signature in GC one time and did really enjoy it, but it just wasn’t for me. I like my V’s and that’s who I am. But an Explorer, I could really entertain that idea.

I'm actually surprised at the fact that you said that it is a lighweight guitar! I remember people saying that Matt's original signature guitar was REALLY heavy (I mean, the dude literally uses two straps with it!), so are these new models actually lighter than the first one or do you have arms of steel? Hahah. Anyway, great review, it's awesome that Matt showed up to solo on the demo song, such a down to earth dude! Trivium has been my favorite band for quite a while now, and I think that one of the main reasons for it is just how down to earth Matt's has always been! I mean, I remember back in the Facebook days (remember that? hahah) that he would actually throw contests where people would have to make memes out of his live playing expressions, it was so cool to see a huge dude in the metal community be just like one of us, you know? And now, more recently, with him being a top-tier streamer, it just makes him even more awesome than he already is!

I've shy'd away from Epiphone LPCs for 15 years now. The only one recently that made me consider buying one was Bjorn Gelotte's signature. But that's just because I've been an In Flames fan for pretty much all of my adult life... but I've just always had several gripes with Epiphones. Whether it's cosmetic issues like LOATHING their old headstock design to fit & finish issues like their electronics work and fret & fretboard work. Matt's guitar may be the first one that gets me to buy an epiphone lpc. I love the hardware upgrades, I think the newer epiphone headstock design is a vast improvement and looks closer to a Gibson headstock. Love the neck profile, it's like a 60's neck on steroids. Love the neck joint design. When it comes to this $800-$1200 price range, I've always ignored epiphone over stuff like full thickness EC-1000s... but I may snag one of these here real soon. I'm a sucker when it comes to white les paul customs with gold hardware.

@AlefSousa017 Жыл бұрын

I dunno, man. If they come up with a signature Epiphone model, that could be the case, but I can still actually see Matt's model being the most sold out of them. Matt has a HUGE presence on the internet, both between metal fans and non-metal fans. Metallica, even though it's arguably the biggest metal band in the world, I feel that it doesn't influence new players as much nowadays (although, there has been the recent Stranger Things thing, so this could change things a bit). Sure, most people's first riffs on guitar are probably Metallica riffs, but, right now, in modern days, I can see more people being proned to pick up a guitar because of Matt, especially because of his streams, than because of Metallica/James Hetfield, which is a really crazy thing to say and think. Never in a million years I would've imagined Trivium to be more influential than Metallica, the main band that influenced them, but that's what I think is the deal right now.

@@AlefSousa017 Very good points! Guess time will tell! It's not a contest or anything anyways -- just very inspiring to see Gibson putting models out there that have HEAFY (pun intended lol) interest and don't qualify as dad guitars (not yet anyways 😂). I really could see either of these guitars' specs attracting a slightly younger crowd, even if they aren't fans of Heafy or Papa Het. I would be curious if the '83 Explorer would have replicas of the original stock pickups that James used for a while, or whether he'd push them to include the EMG's he's used for most of hisa career. If they're doing recreation of his Explorer as he purchased it and launched his career, they should replicate the stock pickups -- but most people would likely whine that it doesn't have EMG's. I mean, he did just fine with those stock pickups for a while. Some people are extremely against using EMG's for a variety of reasons. Might make sense to offer both pickup configs, but Gibson ain't gonna ever do that. I also wonder if they'll come with his new signature strings and some of his picks as part of the case candy, even though they aren't from a Gibson/Epiphone brand. Would be a nice touch. Lol, I'm talking like it's a done deal from that teaser photo. We can't be 100% yet, but there was talk that he might do something with Gibson -- with that three knob config, I'm trying to hope!
