I’m glad that came through the microphone, it really is an incredible difference in person. The Epiphone still sounds nice in its own right, but they are night and day
@@C2freaky I didn't forget, I mentioned both prices and the Gibson being 10x more is a huge differential. That said, I think there are better sounding guitars for the price of the Epiphone
@@C2freaky Honestly it's so subjective - there are nicer sounding guitars than the Epiphone Dove to my ears, but it may be perfect for someone else. But for that price range I would suggest you check out other Epiphones, Furch, PRS, Yamaha, Tanglewood.
As far as the bridge being finished on the dove you can quiet easily do the Epiphone the same as Gibson did their Bridge because all Gibson did to the bridge was oil it
My Gibson Dove has a bridge closer to the Eli in this video. I oiled it, and it worked, but won’t ever be like a piece of dark rosewood. Might have been bleached by the sun over the years, IDK.
@@wungabunga Not unless you left it exposed to the sun outdoors for long periods of time which isnt advisable for any guitar. Leaving them in the sun is as bad as leaving them out in freezing weather. Neither is good for ANY of the woods in a guitar
That's probably due to the video, there is a much bigger difference 'live' - the Gibson produces a much broader range of frequencies, that's the best way I can describe it. That said, there are times when you don't want those extra frequencies and the Epiphone would be a better fit. But you're right that the price difference is enormous!
Just noticed that! You’re basically right - I used a separate mic for the playing to try and pick up more of the nuances of each guitar, and it seems that somehow i didn’t remove the camera audio for that section so it has kept both audio sources. And unfortunately RU-vid doesn’t allow a new file to be uploaded with a correction.
