Chris Stapleton Epiphone Frontier

[@paullavallee1631]

Chris is such an immense talent

[@john564holloway]

Thank you, Epiphone, for sun bursting the back! Love to have this along with the Epiphone Texan! Who better than for Chris to commentate on this. Super songwriter, player & singer!

[@john564holloway]

@@jonoz4089 Sometimes backs don't have the sunburst. I just wish Epiphone would've had a Fishman preamp in there instead of LR Baggs.

[@bsmith8943]

Beautiful guitar. Chris your national anthem was phenomenal.

[@NicholasWingComposer]

Well said. I've had my Epiphone Les Paul for around 26 years and I'll never sell it.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

That double pick guard looks INCREDIBLE..MIKE CAMPBELL has a Dove with the double pick guard and it’s so damn awesome

[@anmolatwal]

Considering the role the J45 has played and the impact it has had in Chris's music, he absolutely deserves at Gibson Signature model!!

[@jimdeeds]

Chris nailed it. A reliable, road worthy guitar is invaluable. And this one has a great heritage to boot. Love it!

[@ctd1782]

Thank you Chris for this absolutely great instrument. I was on a search for a bigger body size guitar with great sound, looks and playability. An instrument that would inspire me to write many great songs. Yesterday evening I found out the news that this guitar was released and one was available at a dealer in the Netherlands. I took the day off from work today and was at the shop early in the morning. From the moment I played this one I was totally hooked and addicted to it. The sound of the spruce together with the maple back and sides really did it for me. Besides strumming this guitar plays so easy also when fingerpicking and really sings also playing very gently. I tried many high end guitars of other high end brands also much more expensive but these did not do it for me. This Frontier is so beautiful also visually and really worth it. If you are serious about your passion and music this will bring you to the next level. It's that good and a guitar for life. So this was one of the best days and off course I went home with the Frontier. Thanks again Chris and Epiphone for making this possible. Happy guitar greetings from the Netherlands. Chris (yes same name :)

An amazing guitar for an outstanding player. Chris has amazing taste. To bad I can’t afford one. 😂

I'm REALLY hoping Fender gives him a signature Jazzmaster.

I love my Frontier.

[@honnaconna7312]

I managed to get one of these at the weekend(had to trade my two fenders which I didn’t really play) Oh my god I’ve hardly slept, I have never had a guitar that I could not put down, and I include my les Paul in that. Absolutely fantastic guitar

[@JEUXolim]

Love this guitar. Only guitar with double pickguard I ever liked

[@CorbenEdward]

AMAZING GUITAR! Honestly my dream guitar.... If it was all black. Epiphone, call me! haha Chris you killed it.

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

Chris is such a cool dude

[@MrTonicAmps]

I have a 65 FT110N that I have had for decades. It is one of the best sounding acoustics I have ever played. I bought it at Dave's Guitar in La Crosse, WI in the early 90s. I played a ton of acoustics looking for THE ONE. It came down to the Frontier and a 67 J200. The Gibson was $2700 and the Frontier was $750 and they were very close tonally, but I didn't have $2700 to grab that J200, so it was the Frontier. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUITAR!!! Haven't had the chance to play the Stapleton signature or the USA Collection Frontier, but I bet they are great. My only comment is that I like the vintage narrow headstock style that's on my 65 than the wider style on these, but that's purely aesthetics. Really dig the dual pick guards.

[@eagleheadterraceia2803]

I got the frontier and the texan and they are spectacularly awsome. Never knew he was instrumental in coaxing Gibson to bring it on... Thanks man

[@RahduDrahkqul75]

Beautiful, beautiful guitar

[@jasonsaenz2367]

I’m going to see him Friday evening so I’ll definitely be looking for it. Can’t afford one but the opportunity to see him play it will suffice. Saving for his amplifier.

[@waxman9550]

You can almost buy one with the price of a ticket to see him wow crazy prices right now on Tickets IMO

[@okaytastic6691]

His amp is definitely worth it

[@hdkw-ev5mm]

Anybody else that would sell their soul for a guitar lesson with this guy?

[@paulofreire7520]

Well done Epiphone! 👍🏻

[@azombiestool]

Can't wait to see you two nights in a row in Georgia come August, Chris

[@RodVonLongrod]

I own two Epiphone acoustics. One is an EJ-200SCE and the other is a Masterbilt Century De Luxe. Jumbo acoustic guitars have such a big sound to them. The EJ is a brighter sounding guitar than the Century. Overall the Century has a more balanced refined tone but with a new set of strings the EJ sounds so good. I bought the Century with the intention of selling the EJ but I just can't bring myself to do it. Both of them are really great guitars. Epiphone is making some great guitars these days.

[@Jeff_HellensBridge]

Epiphone is my favorite guitar brand right now. The Lee Malia guitars got me looking. Then they made an Adam Jones Les Paul and I bought one. Now they've created this and I have to have it. Sure I want a Gibson but they just aren't willing to take the chances. Epiphone is being used as a test bed for certain products and I think it's a great idea.

[@rareform6747]

Man , Epiphone so much quality today , purchased Epi Les Paul with locking tuners and burst buckers . Real workmanship . Guess Gibson is kicking some ass outside US !

[@Ryan-ii9rx]

I was just looking this up and it looks like epiphone does make some models still in the USA and cost as much as your typical gibson. Just a different headstock and logo, but same price point. But yeah, there are plenty of good quality guitars being made outside of the states. I love my MIM Strat. Just bought a Danelectro that’s made in Korea and don’t really have many complaints about

Humble guy

[@rexrathtar3893]

I'm hoping Chris can next have a word with Fender about putting out a $4k Squier.

Hey Gibson/Epiphone I just want a J-200 with a pickguard design that doesn't scratch off in a month. The vintage ones didn't why do the new ones?

[@matfabian]

@gibson @epiphone It looks great! Could you please make it in affordable version too? Or remake the masterbilt version with Kalamazoo headstock? It looks beautiful with Kalamazoo headstock.

[@fredmanteghian5913]

I would always have angst that the top could be vibrating and projecting more without it being 60% glued to plastic.

What is the relation between Gibson & Epiphone ? Love both, so good to see & to hear 💛

[@Koffieleuter]

🤠 Nice!

[@pepmasters-999]

Looks great and in this instance I believe Stapleton when he says it's a quality instrument. Unfortunately the limited number and price means this is of no interest to the vast majority of players beyond the academic.

[@jerrettoquinn4978]

Its not an actual Epiphone as we know it today. I was wondering how they got that guitar to look so identical and high quality as a Gibson does. It's because it is a literal Made in USA Gibson but with an Epiphone headset. You're paying $3K for a Gibson guitar that has an Epiphone headstock. Kinda weird.

[@TheMidnightModder]

Gibson, was this recorded on analog film? I'm in love with the look of it!

[@danielktdoranie]

$4k y’all. This isn’t a gigging musician’s guitar at that price. It would have been a great to get a budget made-in-Asia but all-solid wood model from Epiphone for like $800 to $1200… that would be something that most working musicians could afford IMHO

[@TheSammyreynolds]

They're made in America

[@wellfuckyoumr]

It’s 4999 dollars

[@topfacemod]

It's also USA handcrafted acoustic instrument of premium detail. $4k really isn't unfair for the caliber of instrument it's reissuing.
