Nah...wouldn't tune it either...

guitar market needs to crash yesterday. those prices are insane....

I bought one, finish was awful, cloudy. Two inspection stickers on back. They both missed a big issue. A bad drill job on the S1 knob farthest to the right. My fellow employees at my guitar store reviewed the ax and all of them said they were astonished it got through inspection. Fret board screams Seymour’s are dynamite.

I prefer to shop for used guitars online than at a retail shop. For example I just bought a nearly mint black 2004 Epiphone Les Paul Custom which the owner had the bridge pickup replaced with a Dimarzio Super Distortion. Solid mahogany body like Gibson used to make them in the 1950's. It has to weigh 8-9lbs. It came with a hard case, leather strap and guitar stand all for the price of $430 USD. There are deals out there.

Yeah, Summerlin-Charleston and Buffalo. The other Guitar Center seems to have more audio gear, especially if you're a DJ. I’m not a fan of the guitars at the South Guitar Center; it’s just not as well run, and it’s hard to get help. It’s that typical experience where you want to love it but leave wondering why you came…unless you’re a DJ. If that’s the case, it’s a great spot, with tons of audio gear, amps, etc. For guitars, though, Summerlin is where it’s at. The used guitar wall is impressive-high-quality instruments at nice prices. I was surprised by it. If you’re looking to buy an instrument, this is the Guitar Center for guitars. The staff here knows more, is far more helpful, and they have a good selection of audio gear too, though maybe a bit less in stock, IMHO. But…before you buy a guitar at Guitar Center, check out Sixx Gunn Guitars and Roman Guitars! Here’s why Sixx Gunn: they make their own guitars, are awesome people, and every instrument you buy there is perfectly set up, right off the shelf. Guitar Center? Meh. I get annoyed by how unprepared the guitars are (not intonated); it’s like they’re just thrown up there. You’ll likely have to set it up yourself or pay $200 for it. Sixx Gunn, though? It’s all done for you. They also have a side company, Valkenburg Guitars-chef’s kiss, fantastic guitars. Honestly, I’d compare his work to upper-level Fender Master Custom Shop quality. He’s a real artist. Roman Guitars: they’re a bit harder to deal with since they focus more on selling Roman guitars. Their models are incredible, though there’s less selection if you’re after Fender, Gibson, etc. Still, it’s worth a look; it’s almost impossible not to find at least one of their guitars that feels like a work of art. It's a private make an appointment type experience. It's worth a look. I like Valkenburg better.. More my sensibility. But if your playing Metal.. Roman guitars are a must see.

Some of those guitars were filthy, they had dust all over them, whoever is responsible for keeping the guitars clean needs a kick up the butt IMO. I like to shop for used guitars at the smaller shops, I make lowball offers which I know will be rejected, and they usually come back with a counter offer which I reject and don't make another offer, I look at a similar new model or two and then make to leave, 9 times out of ten they will then make a better price and I will try to get a little bit off that price or ask for a quality long lead to be thrown in or a deal on a pedal. I tend to get better deals if the guitar has been there a while, I visit guitar stores quite often and keep an eye out for used guitars I really like and take note of how long they have been there, the staff know me and also know that I wont pay high prices, because of this they will often accept my low offer just to get shut of the guitar, as long as they have made a little profit they are happy, guitars seem to be much cheaper in the US than here in the UK.

Wish they made this in black

I will correct myself, it's a Meteora.

Hi Mark I always enjoy the guitar shop tours. The green guitar for $1049 isn't a Mustang. It's a Meteor.

NO THANKS, it's not a Gibson Les Paul.....

Summerlin, not even close to north Las Vegas.

JUNK! Epiphone and Gibson both. Never buy a guitar for it's eye candy or the name on the head stock. 499.00 not my money! I've seen to much junk come from both.

Thanks a Bunch for sharing Franky’ I was a Strat guy 4 decades of my life until I played Burst Bucker in a GC 🤩

The wife and I go to this one all the time...last week bought a DSL 100H and a Gibson V..this store in Summerlin has GREAT customer service and the tech Von really knows what he is doing.

You know you’re bored if you you’re watch a video of used gear at a random guitar center

I started going to the Sam Ash in Hollywood in the 80s. I'd get most of my guitars worked on there, bought a lot of amps and pickups and pedals, cables, etc. I was so sad when they closed. It was truly the end of an era.

Cool ax. I owned a Schecter Deluxe that I sold a couple years ago and really regret it. I had loaded it with a Duncan JB/Jazz combo and it screamed. Played great, looked great. I'll probably be getting the Omen Elite-6 for my next Schecter. I dig the stock pups.

I just looked up a Striker on Sweetwater and this is how it lists the bridge pickup: "Kramer Alnico 5HB-1 Zebra Coil Humbucker." Very JB-like, but its own thing. It's the kind of pickup I would never change. Cool ax.

Good demo. Kramer's been putting some very hot pickups in their guitars lately. If it's not a Duncan JB, it's a Gibson pickup (Gibson owns Kramer). They sound terrific.

Fun, informative, I want them all! Just after I bought a SG standard, now I am getting the urge to buy, wallet wont cooperate. Great vid, I went to the music store, from my living room . Thanx mucho!

Weird format, half acting like you're shopping, half trying for a history/model lesson.

Every one of these are nice, and some of the prices are CRAZY! Play what you like, and afford, I have a Les Paul custom, circa 1981, and a 2020 SG standard. I prefer the SG, because I find ebony too hard, I prefer rosewood.

You own one so yeah it caught your attention 🤩 Thanks a Bunch for sharing 🤘

The misic in thr back sounds like captain beefheart or the shaggs. Guild put out a Kim Tahill model SG Its a killer

Lol it's not Gibson! It's made in china!get back to me if you see a les paul gibson with that kinda price🤣🤣🤣

My buddy was the GM of this Guitar Center years back...

Just got one these bad boys beyond hyped! Awesome review guys

The Indy store is NOTHING like that.

Get a Firefly. Brand new $250. You'll be shocked.

What is so amazing about 499 price of the Epiphone Les Paul like that one is, isn't that about standard price for one

I go there only to be around the shit I like then bounce.

Looks like this store has a glut of used guitars, basses, and pedals that are now filling any empty floor or cabinet spaces. I am thinking this Guitar Center is not offering much for buybacks of the lower end stock, sellers desperate for money will take anything, and the store is passing that savings to the buyer. Have to clear that inventory some how. If you can somehow upload at a minimum of 1080p, the image quality and clarity would better show off the detail and the prices would be easier to read. 720p is not cutting it in 2024 nor doing your videos any justice.

I love Schecter guitars even their entry level guitars are amazing. I never bought one new always used and I have gotten very good deals. I think the most I paid for any Schecter was about $220.00 with a majority of them in the $150.00 range. I had 12 in total gave two away to my son I have 10. I might have 11 I really think one is not on my list. Two of those I got recently are a C1 in metallic blue and a Gryphon with a trans black flame top. The least I spent was $129.00 for a n Avenger 7 (7 string) I have never come across another it's grey with specs of metal flake in it.

I recently bought one and man I'm so pleased with this instrument and the price is right for what you are getting I like it a lot

I got a nice 2006 50s LP recently. Very happy with it.

It'd be cool if you shouted out the prices once in a while while you're sweeping by the guitars you won't be featuring. On mobile, it's almost impossible to read 😕 That Ibanez with the lipstick pickups is a Tallman 👈🏼 90's for a few years. Thanks for bringing us along 🤘🏼😎

Save up and buy a used Gibson and move on. That Eastman will just depreciate.

buy a used Eastman and move on

I got a Michael Kelly for $350. It has a maple cap just like a Gibson, but more of a PRSish neck profile.

You didn’t play the corvette?!?!?! 03:08

I enjoy your videos showing us the different gear at stores nearby you. Watching from Michigan!

Covid guitar sales, people are back on the job...

This is exactly why you never buy new Epiphone guitars, today it's $1250 in a year $650 or less...

I'm still one of the people who try to get lost at Guitar Center.....lol 💜🎸

TL;DW Its an epiphone and thats about it.

Why the fuck are these companies building guitars with onle 1 volume control? This is just so much fucking shit. Are people just scum bags or are they just evil dopes.

Not a lefty in sight
