This axe is no more my cup of tea than it is yours, Austin, and yet I find myself nearly envious of the buyer. That is one sweet guitar -- and it's TONS more versatile than I ever thought a jazz box could be. It's not for me, but that Epi is a FANTASTIC AXE!

Gibson is so full of shit. There are a bunch of current videos from guitar shows with deals basically saying you can't GIVE away a Les Paul, the market is so saturated. But remember: their goal is now American-priced Epiphones as the standard with a piddly few actual USA guitars as a boutique "token" line. It's all B.S. and that goes for Fender as well.

Yeah I just researched yesterday LACE Alumitone "Damascus" Humbuckers. Although I've had Lace Sensors, in Fender deluxe plus in Telly's and Strats. You know, blue, gold, doubles red etc wtevr. Getting away from that.. these seem pretty interesting.., and I'd like to move towards researching these oddities.. if I can't experience them in person

Some balance between magnetics high output, and or bit microphonic. I don't know. An L5 with single pickup, then straight into amp seem to work

I’d be very interested to look at some honest sales numbers for these expensive Epiphones. I really can’t imagine paying those asking prices for some of the quality I’ve seen on these.

There's nothing worse than a Gibson snob reviewing an Epiphone. He'll find everything to piss and whine about it. Tell me Trogly, "do you have any grey poupon?"

I've got the 2018 LE Epiphone Slash Firebird w/Pau Ferro fretboard, Seymour Duncan Slash APII overwound version of SD's APII on his Chris Derrig Les Paul copy build that he loves. Only down side is it's not a neck through but a Set-Neck. Mahog, mahog, mahog wings w/maple top veneer Flamejob. In trans black. I decided my would stick out more with an EMG Brushed Gold HET-SET. I had to make it a Master Volume/Master Tone. And now, will it Chug? Ah yeah!

The tree of life and the inlays are amazing. Great looking pick ups. I really like that it's a fat semi hollow.

Wow gorgeous Epiphone 150 Zephyr DLX! Might have preferred the FB720 pups in this (like in the Epi Uptown Kat semi hollow) but these 'New York' sound ok distorted. This is $1860CAD in Canada if you can find one.

A 6 saddle bridge on a 12 string guitar !?Whats up with that ? McGuinn put a 12 saddle on his to insure it plays in tune all the way up the neck.

A great playing and sounding guitar regardless of signature - the flame tops are pedestrian but I care more about sound and feel.

I’m no expert on any commodity. My *opinion* is that, there is a stigma, in the USA, against brokers because, they cut into the profits of places like; Reverb, eBay, etc.,. The USA is not unique, when it comes to companies garnering compassion by using underhanded tactics. I.e., we care about our customers, we are losing money, and can’t pay employees, it’s how it’s supposed to be done, etc..

Salutations Austin! Nice Epiphone Zephyr Deluxe Regent! It is similar in some ways to the Joe Pass Signature Epiphone Emperor II, except for some minor details, such as different knobs, Classic ‘57 pickups, and coil splitting capabilities, and a flame maple back, the neck is slightly different and the Joe Pass has a set of Grover tuning machines also. Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

There's a lot to like in that guitar, particularly the controllable feedback. It's looks don't fit my preferences, but its sound makes me want a full hollow body! Great review.
