Glad you were wearing that shirt! I NEVER would have guessed that you like guitars otherwise lol

[@MikeLee-lg5vq]

The Epiphone sound a bit darker. Must be the black paint!

I like the Gibson (Epiphone) for sound and looks and construction and materials, but I do not like BB King's choices, especially that selector knob, or the fine tuner bridge. A friend was playing a big show with BB King, and he was trying to show BB King how the song went, and so he starting calling out the chords, and BB said, "BB KING DON'T DO NO CHORDS!!!"

[@Jason-wo5rr]

I think you need to showdown the D’angelico vs an epiphone Sheraton II Pro as its right up your alley especially the black with gold hardware model

[@alabamahebrew]

So let's say a person buys either guitar and they want to upgrade the pups, which one is easier to do so on? The Epiphone with it's rear access plate!! You forgot to mention that and that is a big deal considering with D'Angelico you will have to fish everything through those F holes. About the feedback, If you take a semi hollow body and set it at about 7 or above you will have more feedback than on say a Les Paul if it has the F holes, it's not saying, as you showed, you won't have NO feedback. I get feedback on my Les Paul's if I have the cranked up and I am close to my amps lol. I think the veritone switch offers you 4 more different tones than one without so for me I would buy the Epiphone because of the rear access panel, the veritone switch and that black looks sweet!! I do love the vintage looks of the D'Angelico though!! That bridge is so cool looking and yes, the F holes make it look better. But I did think the color the D'Angelico was a bit dull looking. For full disclosure though - on my Zzounds account wish list I do have that BB King model in there and it's been in there for about a year now lol.

gonna get me a semi hollow soon, how are the Sire H7s looking?

[@alejandroquezada8665]

how about the Shecter Corsair? Is it a better option than the epi and d'angelico?

[@JillandKevin]

Darrell, you missed the point of the tailpiece. It's a FINE TUNING tailpiece. It's more precise than the headstock tuners. I put one on my Turbocaster prototype TJM Deluxe (Jazzmaster style), and have found, after about 10 shows and 20 rehearsals, plus regular practice, that although it takes a little to remember to use it, it really makes keeping in tune easier. I now put them on all my TJM Deluxe models unless a trem is specifically requested. It's not something one immediately uses, but after getting used to it being available, it's REALLY neat-o to have!!

[@finndougherty8260]

the fact that i was literally trying to decide between these two

[@Howlinblind]

Remember B.B. King played at a very low Volume

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Time to rock some big bluesy tones from these beauties!

[@nateglass8767]

Love how happy and friendly Canadians always sound, must be the gorgeous nature they have :)

[@RC32Smiths01]

What a beautiful sounding guitar, both of them! Would like to try them out one day! Awesome showcase indeed!

[@jamieb7799]

D’Angelico all the way. Just sounds & plays way better. The fact it’s beautiful is a great bonus. Enjoyed the review as always 👍

[@jamescairns5409]

The video I’ve been waiting for! Thanks Darrell!!

[@xavierg5523]

Epi gives you classic tones.

[@craigfish7890]

Excellent demo and comparison, thanks for posting it.

[@user-ep4om6si8d]

Want you to make the ultimate semi-hollow​ pleaseeeeee

[@rickwarda2671]

I recently added an Epiphone ES-335 to my small collection. I purchased a slightly used Joe Bonamasa model and I have to say this is one awesome guitar from Epiphone. The Alnico II and Alnico III pickups sound amazing and along with the ebony fret board it’s a blues machine IMO. I did remove the Bigsby and added a tail piece instead.

[@TheThinker39]

I like the fine tuners on the tailpiece. I use the headstock tuners to get close to the pitch and the fine tuners for the final adjustment. I find they make precise tuning easier. Thanks for the nice demo.
