Loved filming this video. I think the thing that most impressed me was side by side, for £500 it felt so close, through the same rig. The ones we had to play we out of the box, set up and the fret work was great. Maybe we were lucky based on some of the comments here. But the blindfold test really impressed me because then it really was hard to tell, from the sound. But playing them blindfolded, something about playing the Gibson was obvious, so I guess that says it all hahah. Ultimately I’m incredibly impressed with the new Epiphones for the money, I hope whoever gets one enjoys it!

@JeffRevell 4 года назад

By the way, people say veneer like its a dirty word. Wood veneers are just that, they are thinly sliced wood that allows you to get the most beautiful appearance without the cost of a thicker slab. The fact that the veneer is over a Maple cap means that it has all the tonal characteristics of a Gibson (if you believe in that sort of thing) but without the added cost of a flame Maple cap. Don't mistake this for "photo flame" which was a method of using photo recreations of flame Maple that were then glued onto the guitar body. Photo flame is NOT wood, veneer IS.

@psychomantis2881 4 года назад

You can tell the difference by looking at it in different lighting. A veneer will "change" in different light while photo flame stays the same

@30smsuperstrat 4 года назад

The only thing that a veneer might do is cover up a multi piece maple cap. Fender does that with their sunburst budget guitars, as Epiphone has done with the SG where you can see 4 -or 5 panels on the edges but the top and back look solid. These 2 Earphones don't sound like they're having any sonic set backs if that's the case though. I still don't like the Epiphone name on a Les Paul though. Just brand it as an import Gibson Les Paul.

@jrp7837 4 года назад

I don't like how veneers look up close. They look flat whereas a real cap has dimensions to it.

@SeanKabanuk 4 года назад

@@jrp7837 I've seen some multi-dimension Epi caps. In fact I have one on my LP standard, plus you can see the wood grain running against the flame. Maybe mine's an exception.

@@30smsuperstrat Les Paul worked at Epiphone and started his work there, so an argument can be made that the Epiphone version has the pedigree.

I’ve got a 2019 Epiphone LP plus top pro, and basically it sounds and plays just as good as my friends 2010 Gibson LP. The Epi is a bit brighter, but if you play through pedals with a bit of meat it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference, and after set up, both actions are the same. These new Epi LPs are the bomb. I think I might have to get me a 50s version.

@GuitargloucesterCoUk 4 года назад

I have a 2019 Epi plus top pro, it had high action, a nut that was too high and frets that needed a level and crown. Not a problem as I do guitar set up, but worth considering if you're thinking of buying one. Unfortunately looking at Trogly's youtube channel and all the comments from repair shops on there it doesn't seem an isolated problem. At this price point QC should not allow high frets and high nut action to pass. Its not rocket science - you pay someone in the factory to check frets with a fret rocker and check the action at the first fret for the nut ! If Harley Benton can do it at 1/4 the price then so can Epiphone/Gibson ! Anderton's as a large retailer please give them a kick up the arse to sort this out !

This is great! Dig seeing you two together...again. ;-) I've been waiting a while to get an LP, I'll be getting the Epiphone 'modern' as soon as one is available.

Honestly these guys are really talented at improvising. I just felt the need to comment that on this specific video even tho I’ve been watching you guys for a little while now. Your guys phrasing is just really good and you pick really awesome notes when you’re soloing and really go outside the pentatonic scale a lot and have a lot of nuance to your playing. You guys make these “every day mans“ guitars sound pretty damn sweet, and as someone who can’t always afford the higher end stuff I appreciate that a lot. These guys just do a good job of demoing guitars, flat out

Great review and the playing was marvellous. There should be a tax on that much fun. The ‘60’s Epi and the Plimsoul sounded like a Marshall exploding! My monitor nearly dissolved. Perhaps a little “in conclusion” follow up might be worth it, to solidify the results of the A/B testing. Really enjoyable viewing, well done.

Well to be fair, their playstyle genres are different, so it's just a matter of which genre you prefer. Pete's like a country, bluesy lead guitar Rabea is like Rock to hard rock Rob is Metal And Captain is the kid all three of them are teaching! Lol.

Loved this. I’m not a guitar pro or junkie, but I enjoy playing my epi les Paul v3. I get that Gibson has thicker wood and seems to be overall slightly better in most aspects but for the every day guy that doesn’t need to spend a lot of $$$ yet, the finish on the epi les is gorgeous and the sound is still great :)

@zerohourdrift 4 года назад

The new headstock design looks SOO much better. That was my biggest gripe with epiphones tbh. Most play well and sound good, but the headstock was damn ugly

@JamieClark 4 года назад

Matt L still got that “break” angle...

@Sheltada 4 года назад

@@JamieClark except the headstock angle isn't a solid piece of wood on epiphone like they are on gibsons. The headstock is a second piece of wood cut diagonally to fit on the neck, so it doesn't break nearly as much since the woodgrain follows the angle.

@JamieClark 4 года назад

@@Sheltada Has this always been the case? Is the break angle on old Epi the same as traditional Gibson? (idk, I'm a fender guy myself...)

@Sheltada 4 года назад

@@JamieClark the break angle is still there in the headstock, however gibson makes the whole neck (including the break angle) out of one piece of wood with no joint at the angle, instead machining the whole thing out of one block of wood. This decreases strength at the angle since the wood grain isn't lining up with the angle, but (supposedly) improves the sound somehow. Epiphone joins the headstock out of a separate piece of wood to the neck and glues the headstock to the neck. This means the wood grain of the headstock actually follows the break angle, and is nearly as strong as just having a solid piece of wood, but it apparently doesn't sound as good. I have an epiphone les paul special and in my own experience, the thing was on a stand that tipped over and slammed headstock first onto the ground. One of the tuners popped out and that needed to be fixed, but other than that it was fine. So basically, epiphones still have the break angle, but they are made in a way that doesn't sacrifice strength for some placebo sound benefit.

@anthonyrosa5006 4 года назад

It's still a Chinese copy. It will NEVER be a Les Paul. You will always still want the real thing. Gibson knows this, Chappers said this himself. I have purchased REAL Gibsons new for the cost of the better Chibsons shown here.Both cost under $800 new with a factory case. Knowing that why buy Chinese copies. Legal Chibsons.

I like the finishes especially the cherry sunburst which I am not usually a fan of, and they seem to have a nice sheen to them rather than being overly glossy.
