Not sure how I missed this video, great review.

@SayonaraSixString 4 месяца назад

Thanks Jimmy! I was inspired by your Appetite Burst!

@@SayonaraSixString they are amazing guitars and I’ve seen the prices drop because people are getting so desperate to 500 bucks which is not good in case I sell mine of course

I brought a vintage les paul junior for £119 when they first came out. It sounds amazing. P90 pickup/ double cut in cherry red. I think It sounds better than my cousin's gibson melody maker 2014 He paid just a bit less than £800 for that.

@SayonaraSixString 16 дней назад

The Wilkinson P90s are very good. Highly underrated. Not sure why Vintage doesn’t take advantage of them more.

I live in the uk what would you recommend between one of the v100 series or the Harley Benton sc450 for about £155 delivered and sc550 for about £259. Are the vintage guitars better quality? Both guitars in the video sounded really good.

@SayonaraSixString 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately I have not played any Harley Bentons. They’re not that common here in the US, but still very popular here with people in-the-know. My estimation is that while Harley Benton makes good guitars, they are still focused on being a budget/affordable brand. Vintage, on the other hand, is directly aiming their sites at Epiphone’s market share so their guitars are more competitive with Epiphone’s offerings. Just my thoughts.

Great review! FWIW, I have the Slash AFD yellow version. I love the guitar, but the veneer sucks!! It has very fine pin stripe flame with very little depth. Epiphone blew it on this veneer. But, they make up for it with the electronics!! I think the Probucker Customs have better definition than the pups that are in the Vintage. A totally subjective opinion..... The Vintage is not readily found in the Mid Atlantic region of the states. One shop has a "distressed" V-100 but I don't think it's the AFD version. I'll have to give it a play even tho I don't care for fake aging. Vintage blew it with their veneer as well. You're right, it's closer to a Joe Perry Boneyard Burst then a AFD LP. The best Epiphone AFD is the one that's hard to find and pricey when/if you find it. I'm talking about the 2010 Epiphone AFD with real Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Slash zebra pick ups!! It was limited to 3000 guitars world wide. THAT is the one to get. We gave one to our son as a High School graduation present.....It's a kick ass LP. Keep up the great video reviews!!

@SayonaraSixString 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching, much appreciated! I agree the AFD they released some years back was the best one. They are tough to find and command a bit of cash when they pop up. I think they went a bit too mass production with recent AFDs. They should have kept them limited. I still think they are solid guitars though - they're built slightly better than the regular Standards I believe.

@Trial212 2 месяца назад

@@SayonaraSixString I agree for sure!! It's a solid guitar, well made and it plays nice and sounds good, if not great. The veneer is just so underwhelming. I bought mine used but in excellent shape for $600.00. No way was I going to pay retail for it. I'm happy for the money I spent.

@mikew42906 5 месяцев назад

I think the epiphone pickups sound clearer with perhaps better definition but I have to admit I am biased as I have just bought the Slash appetite burst second hand from Andertons. Some RU-vid "influencers" have said that the Slash model is an affordable alternative to the Epi Greeny.

@SayonaraSixString 5 месяцев назад

I have the Greeny, Lazarus and Slash and all 3 are very close in feel, fit and playability. I am most impressed with the Slash in terms of how much guitar you get for the money. 👍

@mikew42906 5 месяцев назад

@@SayonaraSixString Interesting you say the neck profiles on these models are similar. I have an Epi standard 50 and to me the neck feels much fatter than the Appetite Burst. To me the Slash one is a somewhere between a fat 50s and the slim taper 60s type on the Vintage.

@SayonaraSixString 5 месяцев назад

According to Epiphone’s site, they all have the same neck measurement - 304.8 mm / 12 in. To me they all feel pretty much the same, including the 50s Standard. Perhaps there may be some leeway in the factory?
