I agree with you, Dave, on the Epiphone veneers. I'd rather see the real wood beneath, be it a one-piece body or a six-piece body.

I agree too, that Gibson Jessica is charging extra for three pieces of dull maple, but I think it looks great. Epiphone could do that (without charging £1k plus)

I was getting ready to order a Gibson 1959 custom shop LP in dirty lemon, then I saw the inspired by Gibson Epiphones. The specs are so close to the custom shop that I preordered the 59 ice tea burst LP and the 59 Cherry ES-355 on announcement day and I still have plenty of change left over.

@@LegsONhave you played the Gibson SJ 200 ? It’s not even close to the Epi version. The Epi version sounds “choked” compared to the Gibson but enjoy it though.

@@CountDomingoVII No, unfortunately I haven't. No wonder, that Epiphone is ~1500$, while modern Gibsons are 5500$? Often 6k, 7k. I'm ready to compromise some openness of the sound whilst saving 4-6k bucks. I have a review of an all-solid Sigma J-200 on my channel, it's a great guitar for the money. It's now much more open than it was back when I made this review. Don't forget: some Gibson J-200s sound restricted as well. Or just too plain.

I know it's controversy for some, but I like Epiphone way better now that they seem to be adopting the Fender and PRS approach using a common headstock design, regardless of model range/manufacturing location.

Yep, right now i can get both a viper blue lp custom flame top and a viper blue quilt top custom sg for near on the same price as i paid for my dave dave Murray strat, dave Davidson wr7, khv, jb63sg, dg335 or Cobain jag individually! So yes there are values to be found. The bb king Lucille is also great value

Nice work, Dave! Just pulled the trigger on an Inspired by Gibson Epiphone Korina Explorer for $765USD. I have a student who has the '61 SG and couldn't believe how good it was. My Gibson R8 may have some competition when this Explorer arrives.

Dave, question for you. Have you heard anything about Epiphone bringing out a Slash Jessica model. I imagine it wouldn't take much. Much like the Victoria Gold top that don't get the Flame Maple veneer, they have just the multiple piece carved maple top they would just need finish them in the Honey amber. Let us know as soon as you know.

The only thing that i wont even say i dont like, but just dont care for on my 2019 made orig 50s goldtop i got in early 2020 is yeah that veneer on the back but. i rarely ever even notice it. and if thats my only gripe... But i got mine for over 100 less than their now 699 price when it launched. Put a bigsby and seth lovers, still under 1 k for me. It also completely frees you from an "veneer issues on the top since its painter gold anyway. solid brick sh*thouse of a guitar for way less than any of the newer Epi's

I love how these companies are raising their prices while the guitar market is literally crashing 😂😂😂 if you go on reverb and put a listing in your favorites you’ll get stores listing brand new guitars as used-mint and knocking hundreds off the price. I just bought a brand new American vintage ii 57 Strat for 1400 when the retail price is 2200. 😂😂😂 these companies are stuuuuuupid. In my area NOTHING on marketplace is selling and I’m in metro Detroit not the sticks.

So… How’s about this concept for the conspiracy theorists out there…. Epiphone,release and promote these recent “artist editions”….with the increased prices. And the influencers/marketers hype the “artist spec”…..wow!!! Then… Epiphone release the IBGCS range,again increased prices,and then,the influencers are all about “oooh part Gibson specs” (really justifies the ‘increased’ production costs???”. Then…. With all these “influencers”…who previously all slagged off these previous bucket price original models…”which were always sub-‘standard’…and foreign made…..are now….”brilliant?!?…and promoted now!!!cos they’re still the old model prices/value over the new models”. But were tatt spec back in the day?!?!. You can’t polish n glitter a turd….right?…it’s still a turd…cos media marketing told us they were originally,right??? …hmm think marketing is now…we need to get rid of all these old stock
