Going to take your word for it and order one soon cos I love the look - I have a 2 Gibson Juniors and a Gibson Custom and never totally got the hype for the money - prefer my Tokai LP Custom to play and hoping this new Epiphone is equally as good

I think it's laminate mahogany. The electrics and tuners are very good. No issues there. The action on this one is very low. I was surprised at how low the action was out the box. It's a relatively inexpensive guitar, but feels and sounds like a much more premium instrument. It's very easy to play. Really happy with it.

Epiphones are well made, affordable guitars. They're made from affordable materials with excellent craftsmanship in countries where skilled workers haven't figured out their skills are worth a lot more than $3/day. Now, what don't you see? Epiphones that are over 30 years old. Why? Because Gibson and Epiphone DO NOT shop for their materials at the same stores. Its really that simple. Will you get your money out of an Epiphone? Yes. Are they collectible? No. Any questions?

I'm not sure Epiphone is getting worse, but they are DEFINITELY getting more expensive. I'm not paying $1600 for an Epiphone when I can get a Gibson for less than that.
@appetiteforguitar 6 күн бұрын
For sure, I got myself a nice Gibson LP for much less than that - I'm going to review and pitch that against an Epiphone very soon in a video. I'm thinking probably doing the Gibson Vs the Epi Studio and/or the Epi Slash, which is more expensive and pretty close to cheap Gibson price. I do like a good Epiphone, but some of the prices leave me a bit stunned too... but is it justified if the guitar is THAT good...? Hmmm. In a way, if an Epi is Gibson prices, and the labor is much cheaper, then the guitar must be incredible. There's also inflation, the fact there's more artist signature models, the expertise of the labor regardless of where they are based.... lots of reasons things are changing. It's a complex discussion so a I think a proper video on the subject is in order... Keep rockin'!

I'm just going to give my 2 cents as comments not what others should do. I have a 2004 Zakk Wylde Epiphone Les Paul and I had a Gibson 2010 Studio Artic white with the Ebony fingerboard, so a really nice version of the Gibson Studio. I bought both new, not used. The 2010 Gibson i left stock except I installed better tunes and I always backstring the taistop so I had an extra tailstop for it. I'm a huge Zakk Wylde fan so keep that in mind. First thing I did to the Epiphone was installed and tusk nut, made a huge difference for note clarity and a bit of sustain. I installed the EMG Zakk Wylde pickup set, but wired the batteries for 18V instead of 9V. I also sanded all the clear finish off the neck and sealed it with proper Oil. Recently I have literally wore out the tunes and installed a set of Ratio tuners. All that being said I sold the Gibson about 2 years ago because it was a case queen. Was always worried about chipping it etc. The Epiphone is more a work horse and beat the crap out of it with no worries. For sound, the Gibson for some reason was to bright sounding for me , it did have the weight relief cuts in the body as well, which always felt weird to me. The Epiphone is a tank, I swear mine is closer to the 9lbs mark lol. Both guitars I actually copper foil shielded so grounding was great on both. The neck on the Epiphone felt better to me over the Gibson, even though I preferred the Ebony over the Rosewood on the Epiphone. The neck shape was much better and much faster playing then the Gibson. My Epiphone always stays in tune even when it had the Grover tuners, the Ratio one's are absolutely amazing! I just found the Epiphone checked the boxes more of the Gibson for me. Yes I obviously put more into the Epiphone, but playability alone with the neck was way better, even though I prefer the Ebony. Sound wise , I really didn't like the sound of that Studio, again just to bright for me. I have a guitar with the Indian Laural fingerboard and I can tell you the dry out alot and have to keep up with Oiling them. Out my 8 guitars it always needs more maintenance then any of my Ebony fingerboard and definitely more then my Rosewood one's. I will say I couldn't believe how much clear finish they put on the Epiphone was ridiculous , I swear it was like taking off 3/32 of finish lol. But once removed and Oiled you can't beat it lol. Frets were ever better on the Epiphone for some reason. Never had issues with the Epiphone at all the Gibson had Fret sprout a couple times. Now I live in Central Canada so the temperature swing is nuts. From -45C in winter to +35C in the summer and the Epiphone doesn't care, it just works. The Gibson had the typical tuning issues and the Epiphone didn't. Kinda long, sorry about that, but that was my experience between those two even though the Gibson should have been better, it wasn't for me and I kept the Epiphone, I sold the Gibson and bought a Kramer Dave Sabo signature model in place of it and that's an Amazing guitar in its self!

Oh, I need to check out the Kramer! I have a Gibson Faded I'm going to do a review on too. Like you say, mine is the same regarding the brightness. It is much brighter than than the Epi.

Nice video! Just a note- what you're pointing out as weight relief is actually the routing for the wires from the pickups and switch to the control cavity. This is on all Les Pauls, due to the switch location. The weight relief chambering will be hidden behind the top. I love my 97 Korean Black Beauty 3 Pickup- it's been gigged to death.. Mine benefitted hugely from a Gotoh bridge- really added life and sustain to the sound. Just rewired it too and it's sounding better than ever. Heavy as hell, but a great guitar.

Thanks! I can relate... my Epi Traditional is going towards 4.5kg which is a fair bit after some hours of standing!

I also have a regular 2014 cardinal red les paul standard and it's awesome as well but the 2008 Epiphone SG prophecy is a dead copy of Gibson sg standard 2017 down to the neck shape and light weight mahogany so id say the older the best in my case but there's no way i just got lucky as I've never bought a bunk Epiphone guitar, they all were good! I played the new Epiphone les paul customs and they are pretty freaking nice but i won't pay $800+ for em since i remember they were only $500 not too long ago, that and the fact Dean are beating Epiphone at the same price no problem ! Do yourself a favor if you want a killer guitar for under $600 you can get a Dean 1980 series brand new or a used select series and have 100% Perfect guitar in every way, they blow Gibsons away so they beat the crap out of Epiphone !

Ummm not saying that you don't have a great Epiphone, but in my personal experience, old beats new dang near every time, I work at Sweetwater in Indiana, we set them up before we put them on the floor, because so many come in with crappy feet work, sometimes wires need reattached, and necks often have to be adjusted, and let's face it, it's a personal opinion but at the price people pay, they deserve a bone nut, also intonenation has to be adjusted, I sincerely hope other places have better than our area, but have to say I doubt it. I could have any ax I want, but I play a 250 dollar axe and invest in a great amp. Did not have to do anything but adjust the neck slightly and of course new strings. Sorry dude I just see to much

Interesting... the box was open when I bought mine, so it's very possible it had a decent set up. When a guitar is shipped across the world from the factory, you would hope a lot of shops would do a set up. My old one was ok when I got it. As a used buy, cheaper than new and a great guitar still. Assuming a good set up, to me, they both sound and play awesome. My Epi Special II was a bit of a different story... that's a guitar that could do with upgrades. There are some pretty significant look and feel differences like the body thickness, pots etc on the Studios. I had wanted to sell one, but I think doing this video has made me enjoy them more... I think I'll end up selling something else! The Slash I briefly mention in the video is also good (not perfect), but maybe the shops near me are doing good set ups before they even reach a consumer's hands. To be fair, it's great to hear Sweetwater do that due diligence. Keep rockin' 🤘
@samarth1906 8 күн бұрын
I think the reasons old guitars (15+ years) tend to be better than new ones is that only the best of the best manufactured back then actually survive to this day. So the average distribution of quality is likely to be higher for old guitars than newer ones but this depends on quite a few factors like quality standards today vs then, the lifetime of a good vs bad "old" guitar etc. Older guitars are also more likely to have had work done on them just because of their age and imo a good setup (frets, action, truss rod) is rlly what meaningfully differentiates guitars in different price brackets today..

Very true! In practice the necks and playability are remarkably similar for two guitars separated by 25 years or so. Personal preference is a big factor - I like the chunky body of the new one and having split coils... but I love the old one too.
@charlesb7831 8 күн бұрын
I tend to prefer older guitars, however that being said, the new Gibson modern series are really sweet. I kind of got away from "Traditional Guitars " ie. Gibson Les Paul and Fender strat. I realized that I just prefer the late 80's and 90's shredder guitars so keep that in mind with my responses. I think so.e of the newer Gibson and Epiphone are really nice. Where I'm having issues is with Richlight fingerboard and the Indian Laural stuff and constant fret sprout going on. I have an 1989 Kramer Nightswan Aztec, Peavey v-type exp that I replaced everything on lol. Kramer Dave Sabo signature, Zakk Wylde Epiphone 2004, Kramer Dave Sabo 2021, 1996 Hamer Californian, Fender Squire Jim Rroot model, 1998ish Jackson and a Spector bass. I just have les issues with these guitars, 5 of them are Floyd Rose guitars. I think people, including myself get sorta trained/brainwashed into thinking that if your not playing a Gibson or Fender your not a great player kinda thing. My next on my list is and ESP/LTD, the craftsmanship is outstanding. I like real woods, not fake stuff like say Richlight stuff, shielding is usually something I always do myself so I don't worry about that anyway. I find with say , Indian Laural that is higher maintenance and the companies are starting to use it alot more. I'm an Ebony fingerboard kinda guy personally and people use to tell me those were high maintenance, not compared to the Laural. I do find aged , old wood has stabilized and just less work. Again this is just an opinion, not what I think others should do. It took me too many years to realize that you don't need say a Traditional Gibson or Fender collection lol. I'll say my 1989 Kramer Nightswan sounds better than a Gibson Les Paul, has the same scale length and had big bottom end and plays absolutely effortlessly. Just my opinion once again lol.

@appetiteforguitar The rereleased Nightswan is nothing like the original, not even close. The rereleased one is a nice guitar on its own, I wish they would have just named it something else. I was really excited, thinking I could have another, then I played the new one and the neck is completely different. The original Nightswan has an R1 nut and the new one is an R2. The profile is completely different as well. That's why I bought the Kramer Dave Sabo signature and was looking at the SM1 as well. All fantastic in their own right, I was just disappointed they trying using the original name and it's not like the original. The pickups are different as well. The original Nightswan had a Seymour Duncan Fullshred in the bridge and a JB in the neck. The new one has 2 JBs. The new Kramer's are super nice and I think overlooked. With the Dave Sabo one, is essentially a reverse headstock Beretta with a nice paint job and a hotter pickup. Hope that gives you some insight on them lol.

I've just bought a used one of these in the camouflage "Anarchy" livery, and after coming from a strat and a les paul...it DID sound a bit "characterless", but I soon realised that I was coming to it wrongly. I EXPECTED strat or les paul tones....just out of the box. The trick is to use the tone and volume pots to vary the tone. If you roll back the tone on the bridge, you get much closer to a les paul. Whereas...roll it full on and turn the coil tap on...and you are in telecaster territory. On the neck pick up...tone full on for blues...tone half off and volume knocked back, and it is actually really good for jazz. I was going to send it back...but I've really grown to like it. Funnily enough...I had that exact same PRS before the Vintage! I actually wasn't keen on the PRS tbh...a bit "meh" 😊

@appetiteforguitar 18 күн бұрын
No worries, glad you enjoyed it. Great question! The Special is good fun, but to get the most from it, it could do with upgrading pickups and tuners. So that leaves AFD and the Studio. Studio has the set neck (rather than bolt on of AFD) and a bit more control of the sounds thanks to the extra tone and volume knob. It arguably has a bit more nuance in the tone and can slip from jazzy warmth to punchy hard rock with ease. The AFD is still great though and is awesome for it's nice crunchy clear tone. It still sounds good for clean tones, but maybe just sounds a little bit less warm than the Studio when clean. Both are great choices. It's worth considering the latest generation of Studio too. Full review of that one here and I've got a deep dive comparison of the 90s Studio vs the new Studio coming up soon: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brKqqap6tbiYnYk.html

They are pretty full of stock which makes sense as real estate in London is sooo expensive so they have to fill the places up with guitars - it makes for an awesome selection though! And they're all very willing for customers to try instruments out. It depends on how you look at it... if they were in the right area of countryside they could have a giant warehouse with lots of space. In London, every square metre counts. They do deals in these places too, so the prices you see aren't necessarily what you pay if you like to haggle. In my experience, they are more than happy to take guitars in part exchange - and to give very fair prices. The shipping I guess can't be cheap, but I guess it depends on what guitar you want and how it gets transported. As a Londoner, I've been going up to Denmark Street since I was a kid and I feel very lucky to have captured some of that on film and to be able to share it. It's hard to say how long any of these shops will still be there. I've seen a lot of shops in that area come and go over the years and it's terribly sad. I wanted to keep the video positive and upbeat but the reality is, survival is not a given. The MusicRoom in Denmark Street is one music shop I'd been going to for years, but I was shocked to see it had closed down on this visit. Even big brands struggle - several years ago there used to be a giant Virgin Megastore about 5 minutes from there - it was huge and had the most incredible selection of guitars, drums, basses in a lot of space... But alas, it couldn't survive. I hope the Gibson Garage sticks around! It's very different to the other shops but it is a statement of the importance of guitars and a great showcase. We shall see... I'm going to do my best in the coming months to do more coverage of these shops as there are plenty more to cover. I might get to Camden too as there are some cool ones there too. There's always Andertons, GuitarGuitar, Coda Music etc more out in the British suburbs too... lots of potential to cover! Keep rockin'

@@appetiteforguitar thanks for your long response,on my comment. I know,the rental prices are insane in London,so stocking as much gear in those shops,is quite logic.But also rental prices in the Netherlands are very high,so a lot of shops/places aren't used and rented, cause with those prices,you can't run a shop and earn money.Even in my hometown Arnhem. Or you grow grass/weed in the basement,to survive and don't go bankrupt(which happens much more,as people suppose).

Lol... yep, cloth and ur pretty much done with maple and steel. Most frets/fretboards aren't like that tho so yeah... is what it it is. It's worth it in the end for a nice playing result. Keep rockin' 🤘🎸

Nice video, I did a similar trip round those same shops only a few weeks back. Was a bit underwhelmed by the Gibson garage and I was hoping to be a bit more, er, whelmed! It was ok but nothing you can't really get in other big stores. Some nice vintage guitars in Denmark Street but London prices of course which isn't unreasonable given their location and having to run a shop which can't be cheap. Other vintage dealers elsewhere in the country that are more reasonably priced.

Thanks, I enjoy going up there so much. I plan to go more from time to time. It's not cheap in Denmark Street, but they're pretty willing to do good deals with a bit of haggling in my experience and trades of old stuff. Always a good time! 👍🎸
