Agree with my picks? (Almost) every sInGlEcUt tier list next?

[@rocknrollguitar]

I got a challenge, re-do the lost with only the guitars in your S tier! Im curious for the full explaination

[@philljrton]

I bought a traditional pro four, I really like it but what do you recommend upgrading the pickups to? I want to keep it “retro”. I was thinking either pearly gates or JB and jazz .

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

@@philljrton JB/Jazz will get my vote 9 times out of 10. If you want something unique, look for some old Carvin pickups and I think you’ll be thrilled.

@@TylerJohnstonGuitar I found a set called Carvin C22B & C22N on reverb in cream

A shame the casinos not on the list. A perfect guitar.

[@garycoates4987]

I have 4 Epiphone guitars A new JJN gold Glory A recent casino A Wayne Static signature v And a 1994 Joe Pass All nice guitars ,my main gripe with all the epiphones is the same gripe the poly is too thick and you can really tell at the binding and neck body contact points, outside of that there all for the really you do get your dollar's worth, the more expensive Epiphone are excellent the lower price still decent if you don't mind modding upgrades, the cheapest ones are still more playable and functional than other brands even at the worst. The JJN signature models sound amazing and I use mine as a stunt double backup for my Gibson r54 and Gibson SG Jr

[@manaayek8091]

The fact that epiphone has has so many A and S tier guitars shows their insane quality. I hope they keep it up.

[@batphink2655]

So few forget the 1960 Tribute Plus with Gibson Classic /57 and /57 Plus pickups, Gibson wiring and CTS pots etc.They were made between 2011 - 2015 and I still love mine it's outstanding!

[@dukefan37923]

You are so right. I have one and it is BY FAR the best bang for the buck. I got mine on the used market for $550 I think. The only alteration I made was putting a bone nut on it. I would say they are easily on level with a $1,700 Gibson offering.

[@Zodicus]

I own a 2014 Epiphone Thunderhorse that I modded within an inch of its life and it is a monstrous metal machine.

My Epiphone grail will always be the Zakk Wylde signature. Saw one at the local guitar store when I had first started playing and it stuck with me. I had to settle for a regular white custom though.

[@dragon7590]

[@realkylehooks]

The Crestwood deserves to be at least B tier. I'd put it A tier. The look is very different, but the thing kills. I just bought one, and it has taken the #1 spot for me in live shows over my USA Les Paul standard, my Midtown, my '96 Strat...the pickups sound fantastic, the playability is really nice, the tremolo holds tune well, and it's lightweight so my back doesn't hurt after running around and jumping for a 4hr show

[@Junkiescum]

Straight up dude! I felt the same way about the coronet, these things are perfectly made and sound amazing. The lightness shouldn’t be overlooked, it’s light as a feather so you could play it all day and your shoulder/back wouldn’t feel a thing. Easy A tier for anyone who owns one.

[@realkylehooks]

@@Junkiescum I got mine at a Guitar Center in Myrtle Beach. I went in and picked up a $3k Music Man. It was great but didn't do it for me. Played a $1900 Deusenberg, and it was awesome, too. Total badass. Then I played a $1600 Strat that was meh. On a whim on the way out I grabbed the Crestwood, and it wasn't just a better bargain for the money than the others...it was straight up better than the other guitars. The only mod I made was to move the strap pin to the horn to fix the neck dive

[@budgetguitarist]

TOTALLY agree. Epiphone has definitely been killing it these days. Great bang for the buck and they look amazing. I love mine. Also, great video.

[@budgetguitarist]

Have to say, though, that I think you have the pickups reversed - you like the Alnico Classic Pro but say the ProBucker is muddy, but a lot of folks (me included) feel the opposite is true.

[@adamguthrie7063]

Nah you’re right bout the Tom Delonge semi hollow, it’s a classic

[@gabzep15]

where's the CASINO?

[@amccarty2012]

My first electric back in 2000 was a black SG Bully. Fantastic guitar which I still have, and it came from the factory for $150 with a flame maple neck. Today it's rocking Hipshot lockers and a Matt Pike Dragonaut in the bridge and I still play it every day alongside my ESP custom shops and Gibson's.

[@mxrocketbeats]

I want one of those! Just wish they had the chrome covered pickups like the others in that line

[@johanneshej4940]

Your sense of aesthetics is C-tier honestly. One can tell that you like modern rock and metal with most of your choices. The Coronet/Crestwood/Wilshire guitars are beautiful and sound fantastic. Also the logo on those guitars is so aesthetically pleasing. Les Paul’s are never more than B-tier when it comes to the appearance. I can’t stand the sunburst LP’s and worst of all, the ones with ”modern” color schemes.

[@WaurufEx]

Regarding Zakk Wylde's Bullseye, Epiphone put ebony fretboards and the active 81-85 Zakk Wylde EMGs in the guitars from 2011 until 2015 when they discontinued them. Those are rare and pricier than those with rosewood fretboards and the EMGHZ pickups.

[@bluesthing7490]

I have a 2012 and just assumed the fretboard was Rosewood because it's brown. Isn't Ebony black or does it vary in darkness? Mine is darker at the 1st through 7th fret and get's lighter further down to a very creamy brown. I would like to know for sure if it's Ebony or not. Thanks for your input.

[@xerodelacroix5552]

As much as I love the original Bullseye Zakk LP, I cannot in good faith put it in A. The pickups were godawful and it was heavier than a vintage Gibson. I ended up trading mine for a MIJ Epiphone LP Custom and that has been my main for a decade.

[@CloneAtWork]

Nice list you got there^^ I started playing on Epiphones ~10 years ago with an SG Custom Prophecy EX (Ebony fretboard, EMG81/85, Mahogany body, Tune-O-Matic bridge) for ~350€. Even though the guitar has a bit of neck dive, it still plays amazing and I still come back to it from time to time. A few years later I got myself a Les Paul Custom Prophecy Plus (EMG81/85, purple finish, Mahogany body, Rosewood fretboard -> at first I thought it was Ebony since it was so dark; and it has a production error, where 1 of the 4 nobs is blue instead of purple -> I don't see it as an error, it makes it look just a tad bit more unique :D ). This is my main guitar to this day and considering that it only cost me 550€ (including the case) that was one heck of a grab :D

[@GatsuOnBerserk]

I also have an SG CP EX, good guitar spec-wise, but the electronic is kinda meh. The jack hole rotates, the knobs kinda need a rewire. But I love it, it was my first decent guitar after a stratocaster ripoff

[@MrDpool1]

I have only one Epiphone. It’s converted left-handed, but I like it. 1974 Epiphone ET-270, the Epiphone version of the Aria Diamond 1802T. It’s like a mix of Epiphone, Fender, Aria, Univox, and even Mosrite features. Neck: Epiphone headstock, skinny, extremely low frets, bone nut Scale: 24.75” Body: Cherry burst double cutaway with black Epiphone pickguard Bridge & Tailpiece: Matsumoku vinyl-saddle floating roller with Telecaster style tail plate and Jazzmaster-style floating vibrato Pickups: 2 Matsumoku Art Deco single coils (unpotted 70’s P90/Telecaster hybrids) Controls: 500K Tone and Volume knobs, 3-way pickup toggle, 2-way Bass Boost slider switch.

This was one of my favorite videos from you. I have only recently started my deep dive into the wacky world of Epiphone, and have found some I love (the black JJN "Old Glory" and the Faulkner V). I have also found a couple that modded pretty easily, like the Guitar Center special Custom Pro Black Back Limited Edition. Just needed locking tuners, a pickup upgrade and a new nut. Great platform, though. Awesome breakdown of all the models.

[@dougnulton]

The Tom DeLonge signatures unfortunately have been exploding well before he just recently came back to blink. His Epiphone signature was discontinued sometime during the mid-late 2010’s, and this caused used prices to skyrocket both for that guitar AND his sig Strat. I remember almost picking up his signature Strat, a near-mint Daphne Blue Mexican, for $600 in 2016, now they’re all almost $2k. He’s my childhood guitar hero but no way I’m paying that for a mass produced 20 year old guitar lol. The Epiphone retailed for $400, and now it rarely drops below $1000. Iconic guitar, but still just not worth it even to a superfan like me.

[@Elienguitar]

As a 2021 les paul prophecy owner, it reigns king over all other ephiphones before it and all gibsons. it has access to the upper frets and has 24 frets, with the flexibility of the fishman pickups it blows all others away.

[@MashaT22]

I wish you would have ranked the Epiphone LP Modern Figured rather than the regular Modern. Based on the reviews from pro musicians and home guitarists who purchased the Figured model, most are thrilled with the quality and value. I really think the figured model deserves at least an A when you consider the figuring (no veneers!), binding on body and neck, a fully mahogany body and neck, coil splitting, locking grover tuners, ebony fretboard, Probuckers, compound radius neck, weight relieved, etc. -- all for a mere $699 list price (up to $100 less with discounts). It was listed for $799 when it was first released in 2020, but the price gradually dropped sometime between then and before the Slash collection was released. Since then, the list price has held steady at $699 despite price hikes. The LP Modern Figured was a sick steal at $799, but for $599-$699?! It punches WAY above many other guitars at higher price points between the specs, tones, features, playability, etc. -- and it's just $50 more than the Modern that you rated. By listing the LP Modern as a B, you may give the impression that the figured version is a B too, but I'd definitely argue that the figured model is an easy A. If the pickups get swapped to Gibson pickups or Fishmans (depending on the tone you're going for), the LP Modern Figured becomes an easy S. Just pointing this out for people who are considering this model. I think it's worth the extra $50 to get the Modern Figured model -- and when you consider all of the above points and how that guitar stacks up against some of the ones rates as an A or S, I'm pretty sure people would agree that this guitar is well worth the $599-$699 pricetag and easily is worthy of an A or S rating.

[@barrymiller2272]

@MashaT22...100% agree. I have a big collection and purchased one of these in Orange magma fade. The tones are all usable...lockers. Nice!

[@MashaT22]

@@barrymiller2272 Thanks so much for taking the time to agree with me! Really glad you're so happy with your guitar. When you purchased it, did it need a setup, or was it good to go? I really don't think customers have been disappointed with the LP Modern Figured. I've only seen a handful of reviews reporting extremely minor issues that were rectified either by the dealer or Epiphone. On the other hand, some of the higher rated models at higher price points on Hunter's list seem to have mixed online reviews overall. I realized this list is based on Hunter's personal experience . . . but with Hunter making his list as both a consumer and influencer, customer reviews are important to consider when rating guitars to give people some guidance. Because the definition of a good guitar is very subjective, reviews give an overall better picture of how good a guitar really is overall -- meaning that there aren't QC issues, it provides good value for the specs and features, that the tones are useable with the stock pickups, that the neck is playable for most people, that the body and paint are high quality, etc.

I saw a sno-fall on Facebook marketplace and fell in love because of the white fretboard. (I've got two ibanez dt250s with red fretboards and have always thought the color matched fretboards were super rad) I was a little late to the party so they weren't available new any more... I ended up with a snow falcon, I snagged mine from zzsounds on sale for $599. and I'm pretty sure it was the last new one anyone had in stock anywhere. I wasn't a fan of the neck, it was a little thicker than most of my other guitars so I played it for less than 10 minutes, put a set of white DR strings on it and tucked it away in the in an epiphone V hard case to keep it safe. The matching white soft case, C.O.A. and paperwork are also tucked away & I've been watching the values increase ever since. Strangely enough, I also have an Explorer GT which I got for under $150. on ebay that's a little more comfortable and easier to justify modding at that price range so I threw a set of neon green Dragonfire "Power Rails" in it. Was never a big Gibson or Epiphone fan but they're growing on me.

I’ve been playing the ‘59 Les Paul and love it. Other than the satin finish which makes it feel a little plastic in my opinion is still a great instrument. The price tag too is unbeatable as you get the Gibson pick ups and upgraded electronics. Great review thanks!

The Nancy Wilson guitar is similar to the Night Hawk. Yup, it's a reskinned nighthawk probably with some coil splits and cool features. Not sure but I'm very aware of the body style. It's a Nighthawk.

[@lavenderblood207]

The blue sparkle Ace Frehley is legit tho. The Budokan was Aces second signature with Epiphone, the first one had lightning bolt inlays and came in 3 finishes. There was a cherry sunburst, a blackburst and a blue sparkle. The cherry and black burst also came with double lighting bolts on the 12th fret in the first run in 1998, the ones after 1998 already came with a block with Aces signature on the 12th fret. There barely are fake Epiphone Ace Frehley models and usually they are very easily recognizable and usually are cherry bursts.
