As a longtime Gibson player, its really handy to have a control that makes it sound a tad skinnier, particularly on a multi guitar stage. The famed Jimmy Page mod (which I have in my Paul) gives you 18 more settings than stock, and only one of them makes it sound bigger ( and that one's not great). Sometimes hollow quack fits into a mix better than fat and round.

The original ES-345s and ES-355s both had the Varitone. It was basically the originator of the coil-splitting that we see on so many guitars today. Not sure why they made it with 6 different positions, I guess Gibson thought 'We've already started it, let's just keep going'?

Forget the blues, it’s a rock machine. Izzy from Guns ‘n Roses used to play a red Lucille. The varitone is great for Mick Ronson/Ziggy Stardust sounds. It cuts better through the mix. Chicken style fingerpicking works great. And in my case…I have a 50’s Bassman 5F6A Mercury Mag clone that is heavy on the bassside on the neck humbucker PU at higher volume (non master). Click it down a notch or two and you’re right back in the Ziggy territory…

I disagree about him only using that gadget thingy on the 1/off setting- when Pete switched over to the next to the last setting- at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="683">11:23</a>- that sounded a lot like BB to me. At times his sound got very sharp, just like that. I played in a blues cover band called The Buzzards- we were the house band at The Speedy Pig on Beale Street- which is a Bar-B-Q/bar/blues club that's been there for many, many decades- one of the oldest clubs on Beale Street- which is considered the home of the blues in the US. BB played there multiple times when he was younger and getting his start. He never played there while we were there- he had long moved on from playing any smaller venues like that by that time. But- he was scheduled to play Memphis in May- but not in a club, he would've been playing outdoors on the big stage. But it got cancelled- instead Cheryl Crowe and Kid Rock played- and they sucked. You have to consider- half the audience when you're playing the big stage at Memphis in May are semi-professional musicians that play in the clubs and on the street corner. That may sound odd- semi-pros playing the street corner- but it's not on Beale Street- you see it often. But yeah- this part of the crowd was not very impressed with Cheryl or Mr. Rock. But- before they came out this chic named Paula Cole played piano and sang- she was amazing. Apparently, she had a couple hits on the radio- I never listened to them but- she does one hell of a live performance, very talented lady.

Well the practical thing about the varitone is you have 5 different caps and bypass. - So you can easily dial in a dull and jazzy tone (humbucker plus 0.047 caps like on jazz boxes) or a bright and bluesy tone (humbucker plus 0.022 caps). There is a luthier in Manchester building a varitone-in-a-pedal pedal. If you have guitars without caps or bypassed you can run em into a varitone pedal. In the early days B.B. played semi hollows with classic57 unwaxed. Later when he got his signature guitar without the f holes, like the guitar you re showing, he got 498/490 pickups which had higher output. He changed the brutal loud Twin Reverb for his well known Lab5 solid state amp. So the hotter pickups wouldn t crank the amp on high volume as they would have on the Twin Reverb. I read he used 8' some say 9' strings. I can recommand watching a biography. He had a very interesting life.

​​@@andreborges2881 the classic57 by Gibson or Seth Lovers by Seymour Duncan are P.A.F.s redesigned. So thats what he had on his 60s hollowbodies like Wes Montgomery on his jazzbox. SD have as well the antiquity Humbucker which are said to be a bit more P.A.F. like the Seth Lovers... If you can hear that. But those pickups are practically what B.B. played in his early years. I said 57 because P.A.F. came out in between 1955 and 1959 (PAF era), in 1959 they got waxpotted. Thats why Gibson call their PAF HB classic57 and SD their 57 model Seth Lover. SD59 are waxpotted alnico5. While the classic PAFs and classic57, SD SethLover and Antiquities use alnico2. The 498/490 work on a solid state or tube amp with lots of headroom. Otherwise they would crank the amp to early. B.B. is known for clean tones.

I have one of these and they are a great shout at the sale price if you want an ES style guitar on a budget. I think the varitone switch is super versatile and often overlooked with many players not liking it, but like The Captain said, in the right mix, one of those positions on the switch will stand out. I would say though that the build quality is hit and miss with some Epiphones even if they have improved of late. Mine has some open low E string fret buzz which a truss rod adjustment didn't resolve, but that aside, this guitar looks great and the tones are there if you search for them.

Bought one when they first came out because I thought it was a limited edition. What an incredible guitar and incredible value, especially with the Andertons sale. The varitone is so underrated. Think of it like riding your volume knob. Have the amp gain cranked and then use combination of volume knob and varitone to sculpt your tone. Also, the varitone excels in a mix. What you think sounds thin alone will cut through a mix.

Buying this guitar is a no-brainer definitely total overhaul upgrade I mean actually considering this is a great body and neck with the Ebony fretboard, putting the right pick ups in here a set of Lucille lust for tone and changing out everything to nickel hardware. In my opinion, if you can switch this to The correct bridge and tell conversion kit I’m not sure but certainly if possible this can turn out to be one hell of a guitar it’s the most upgradable epic phone I’ve seen yet that doesn’t actually have a cheaper. Look to it some of the 150th anniversary models but This one certainly has a lot of opportunities. Curious to see what you guys think about that and hear your feedback great demo as always excellent tones that’s why I think the guitar still has so much promise need a good semi hollow guitar for gigging and the true signature one is almost $7000.

The varitone switch is hugely misunderstood. The range of sounds you can get by adjusting the volume & tone controls with the various varitone settings is huge. There should be one on every guitar !!!

You can find a Varitone kit online (UK) and put it into a pedalcase, then you can use it on all your guitars 😉

Bb king is to guitar players what the 59 bassman is to amps. Not the greatest to ever play but a top 5 and easily the most important of them all. One of my favourites.

Vari-tone = variable tone.. It was made to give players additional... or one might say various tones.. It was literally just for providing more tones - specifically by notching out mid range frequencies. It was originally advertised as a 'built-in tone selector'. Also Freddie was easily the best king - I havent ever found confirmation, but it is speculated he used his vari-tone quite a bit to get different sounds/tonal qualities - usually out of phase type sounds akin to Peter Green

If you have a tube amp (monoprice stage right 15) it will plug into a cab, but can you plug a head into the combo, like what, disconnect the amp or not a good suggestion
