My daughter came over today with her guitar and a pack of Elixer strings. I personally always use Ernie Ball or d'Addario for my guitars. Had some bad experiences with Elixers breaking. Anyway, changed the strings on her guitar, tuned it up and even before I could even play one chord the freaking G-string broke. Took all of them off and put a set of d'Addario I was having in stock on her guitar. That's €20 down the drain for her since the d'Addario were having a different gauge and I didn't want to mix up 2 different brands for her. Elixer is overpriced and they clearly have an issue.

Here everyone Ryan has challenged a epiphone and Les Paul historian and he's battling an zero Ryan is a good guy we all like him but he needs to do a lot more research that's what the computer is for...AJ is very knowledgeable in epiphone and Les Paul he met and talked to Les Paul back stage for almost an hour back in March 2009 just months before Les Paul passed away what AJ says you can bet he's correct 👍

The conversation you are referencing is buried in a mountain of replies to another comment. But since you made a more recent comment that will show closer to the top of the feed..... here's where i left it off. Holding companies vs Parent companies. Subsidiary companies can in fact OWN their own Subsidiaries. Several levels in fact. 1st tier, 2nd tier etc. So even if a Holding Company owns a majority share (or even all) of Gibson Inc. that does not mean Gibson Inc does not have it's own subsidiary companies. Which it does. Including Epiphone. The point is... when Epiphone (subsidary of Gibson Inc) does well financially, Gibson benefits. Because Gibson runs Epiphone.... Are you telling me Joseph BAe and Scott Nuttall are running Epiphone? or is Cesar ultimatly deciding what should happen with Epiphone models...That are budget friendly versions of Gibson models for people on limited budgets? Who's making the marketing decisions for Epiphone. It sure looks like it's gibsons leadership. Why are you so fired up about it? Does it aggrevate you when people buy a Gibson and Enjoy it? I've played guitars that blow Gibson away. I've played guitars that blow epiphones away. Original point coming full circle...... People are still buying Gibsons in 2024. I know a few. I bought both. What's wrong with that? I like my epiphones for what they are, and I like my specific Gibsons for what they are. I've played EPI's that were nice and some that were crap. Same with the Gibsons. There are Gems and Duds everywhere with ALMOST every brand.

I've got my p90s Special (TV Yellow of course!) slung over my shoulder at this very moment. I've been rotating guitars all day today. On any given day, week, or month, one speaks to you more than another - and then your ears/brain change! Lol What's funny is that I have a weight-relived Classic, and Standard that's not weight-relieved, and they weigh about the same. Lol They have the same specs for the most part (same 60s Burstbucker pickups, mahogany/maple, neck profile, tuners, the whole thing). Really, the only difference between them comes down to PCB circuit board on the Classic that adds some options. I was CERTAIN that I would toss the circuitboard quickly. NO. not happening now. As stated, on a Les Paul day, and on any given day, I prefer one over the other. Funny how our ears (brain really) change wildly.

I'm here with y'all. I've even tried to trim down, but then would get deals like "would you trade your EBMM Luke III for a G&L Fullerton blackburst Legacy (Strat HSS) AND a Gretsch 5420? I mean, how could I say no!? That was over two years ago (2022) and I still have both of them. I've come across some great Epiphones (more have been forgettable). I ended-up with a new, at the time, (2022) white Les Paul Custom. Swapped in a Gotoh bridge, bone nut, CTS pots w/ push pulls to split coils on one of my favorite pickups - Seymour Duncan Jazz/JB set. It definitely rivals my Gibsons. I kind of like its neck shape better than my Standards. It's got a funny flat spot as it transitions from the edge of the neck to the back, and I actually like it. Never had another guitar neck like it, and I've been through about 70-80 and have around 30 now.

There’s a few more differences. Studios have thinner bodies. That’s why they’re lighter. Depending on year, standards also often have Grover tuners as opposed to the Kluson style tuners. Studios tend to have a screen printed logo while the standards have the mother of pearl logo. Neck profile also varies depending on year and model (50s vs 60s). Pickups also vary from year to year on the standards. The wiring has varied through the years on the standards and the studios. Gibson has had various studio and standard models throughout the years so many of the characteristics vary from year to year. I like both the studio and the standard. I tend to gig with my Signature T and bring a studio as my backup guitar.

Great video. 👍 Love it or hate it: the new LP modern lite is amazing, I think. Paper thin, like an SG. All mahogany/no cap, satin, dots, etc. Retail for $1500, but I've been eyeing a brand new gold/silver lookin one at GC for $800. Think everyone hates em, so I dig em... Love studios, esp. Wine red on any Gibson. 90's era Gibson is great quality, if you find a fair price. I love the vintage Greco, Burny, Tokai, Epiphone Elite/Elitist, etc. Japanese knockoffs, but they're coming up too. Lots of other budget options/rabbit holes, depending on your definition or scope of brands...
