Dude. WTF happened to Eddie??? Shit. Glad I got to finally catch them live about 10 years back. That's wild. Eddie looked really healthy when I saw them. At one point in their set, he hopped up on top of the bar with his mic, and was running back and forth doing his thing. It was a great show in a little local club here. RIP, Eddie. Edit: I just read that lung cancer took him. I had no idea he'd been ill the past few years. I kinda fell away from the scene as I got older and life got busier. Man, that's sad. He was only 15 years older than me.

Nice video, I own this guitar, I decided to buy it, because I have always loved custom LPs, but I wasn't willing to pay its price. with this Epiphone I had the aesthetics of the custom at a reasonable price, what amazed me was the sound of this guitar! it's fantastic.. it beats or equals my standard '98 Gibson LP. I'm super satisfied, the only thing, maybe the mechanics aren't the best, but they keep the tuning..

@MadAlhazred Месяц назад

Was I wrong to think that the non art version should have been cheaper? I wish they would just do a non signature version with the proper burst finish and headstock.

@tedjohnson5210 Месяц назад

It’s the non art, but has better specs. Still way overpriced, but the neck pickup costs more than both pickups in the art version all by itself.

Glad you finally got your AJ 79 and that you're enjoying it! I posted about mine in your fb group a couple weeks ago, awesome guitar along with the Inspired by Gibson Alpine White Les Paul Custom I got. One thing I didn't like about this guitar, however, were the stock tuners. They were really bad, at least on mine. I swapped them with these cheap Guyker locking tuners off Amazon that were a direct swap, no drilling or anything, and it holds tune much better, as good as a set of locking Gotohs or Grovers. I might post about it in the group in case anyone else is running into the same issue and is looking to fix it without permanently modding the guitar.

I own one of these and am still blown away by it. It completely holds it's own with my more recent era Gibson Les Paul Custom Axcess and my '89 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Zero QC issues out of the box. I blacked out the bridge with a Tone Pros set and put black Gotoh locking tuners on it. Mostly just for aesthetics. The sustain on these models is really impressive and I think it's got something to do with the long neck tenon, as well as the maple neck. Can't recommend these enough, great features for the price tag. Zero regrets.

@benjamingirard1984 Месяц назад

Great video like always. Seems like a great guitar! To be honest though, I have to say that in Canada, for its price new (2150$ +tx), there are many many other guitars I'd buy before that one, namely Edwards and LTDs. Even a Gibson LP studio. Nothing against Epiphone personally, but I think it's a bit steep. On a side note, that moment at 5:15 when you threw the knife behind you, I was like ''Duuuuuude, close it just in case something happens!!!'' lol

Those are sik, was checking a few of those out at Guitar Center almost a few months ago. Definitely cool. But if it wasn’t for those; I saw the white Epi LP custom with the black binding / gold hardware for $649. Didn’t think twice and got the white one. Put in gold Grover keystone locking tuners, gold knobs,StewMac LP premium wire kit with push/pull CTS pots / gold switchcraft toggle / orange drop capacitors. Pickups I went with one gold DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge and a white with gold posts Steve Morse in the neck. Spent a little less than the Adam Jones and was able to pick and choose what I want. …now I want the case so I guess it is about the same after all the mods 🤷‍♂️😂

@adamstrachn Месяц назад

You're experience is very similar to mine at a Guitar Center here in Orlando. It was the best Epiphone I've ever played. It's on another level from the regular production models, beyond the Gibson and Seymour Duncan electronics. I hate poly necks, but the Epi was very nice feeling. Smooth and fast, not tacky. I was able to play through a Savage 120, 5150 III Stealth, Friedman Runt and a Fender Twin. It sounds great through whatever.

@belligerentamateur Месяц назад

They're definitely nice guitars!

@andrewbecker3700 Месяц назад

I put the neck pickup out of my "The Berserker" custom art version in the bridge position of this guitar. Then flipped the Custombucker in the neck, back around to normal. Honestly, its the best matched pickup set I have. Its my belief this supposed Probucker Custom from "The Berserker" is just an overwound Custombucker, built specifically to better match the Distortion. I'm not a big Distortion fan, and am really glad I swapped these pickups around to come up with this combo. Everytime I play it now, it kinda freaks me out how good it sounds. With EMGs in "The Berserker" and Gotoh keystone tuners on both of them. I often find myself fighting off a rager, if I have them both out at the same time. I have to be carefull not to O.D. on LesPaul Custom silverbursts.

@michaelr.4878 Месяц назад

When looking at the guitar when Kyle was playing it, the neck and inlays looked really good. You could definitely see the upgraded components..esp the inlays. But the body/paint/finish still looks like an Epiphone. The poly shine is obvious. Regardless, it is a nice guitar. But for that price, I would rather buy a used Gibson. Seriously..you can find used Gibsons for the price of a new, high-end, Epiphone. Just two weeks ago, when shopping for a new guitar, I was tempted to buy one of these new Epiphones, but I found a Gibson LP Jr. that cost less than pretty much all of the new Epiphones. Since I have wanted a Junior for the last 30 years, I bought it. Glad I did too.

I was more stoked for the case than the guitar. I know it's just my opinion, but for the life of me I can not get the excitement over the Silver Burst finish. It's just meh for me. I don't hate it, but I would never buy a guitar just for that finish, especially since I am not a huge Tool fan. The guitar itself looks and sounds good enough, but if I had $1500 to spend on a Les Paul style guitar this would not be what I would choose.

Epiphone makes a decent Chinese guitar. Waaaay overpriced, but decent, and it fits the bill for anyone brand loyal. Nut oil, maybe, would stabilize tuning.
