It's Gibson who decides the Prices of Epiphone guitars. Everytime theres a price increase on Gibsons there is also on Epiphones. so what do we get for 1500 bucks on this guitar.. Gold hardware, Ebony, Real mother of pearl inlays, a bona signature hardcase and bona signature guitar.. all things considered while there some nice premium stuff there it doesnt justify 1500 bucks even if it had Gibson pickups and CTS pots(which it doesnt and thats stupid) like the 59 Standard, 1500 would still be to much. i dont know why Epiphone Signatures has gotten so crazy expensive as of late. other than Gibson greed.

ALL Mahogany body and neck, with no crap veneer glued on top and poly'd over. AND an Ebony fingerboard. I hate those Laurel boards. Now I can see why they are using the cheaper Pro-buckers rather than the Gibson Burstbuckers. For that price, I wish it came with the BBs, but there are three, count-em three pickups, so I see where they were savings some cash to do a few other things, like the cool vintage trem, the top o line electronics, the waffle tuners and that very nice neck carve. And from Joe's playing and YOUR fantastic demo, the. PBs sound great! I may get rid of my Lazarus for this one. I love SG's and this one looks and sounds like a keeper.

[@Markybroon]

I bought the Epi SG61 with burstbuckers and a hardcase for 729 euros just 3 months ago. Then they started testing the pricing waters with the later Adam Jones’ and then the Lifeson. They’ve crossed the line this time and I imagine dealers will be furious when they can’t shift them. It’s gonna be a very hard sell judging by the comments right across social media.

[@Ronskie66]

I agree, even with the usual artist surcharge, and rightly so, they have to get their cut of what is a signature artist model after all. Even with that its easily 400 quid at least too much. It doesn't even have proper Gibson pickups, as good as the epiphone cutomised ones might be. I can see them coming down in price pretty sharpish, and be around the 1100 quid mark at most, that would be an OK proposition, 1000 quid be even fairer. As you say, pushing their luck, testing the waters and seeing what they can get away with. Customer will decide in the end and it's not gonna be positive.

[@VN9001]

I love your demos and your playing Dagan! You sure can't hide how stoked you are about it! 😄 But this Joe B SG is $1,949.00 Can.$. , and it only has stock Epiphone pickups. I just think that's an insane price for a Chinese Epiphone. I have some of Joe's previous Epiphone releases and love them, but they all included Gibson pick-ups. That pricing is now in Gibson USA territory which is what I'd be hunting for instead of Joe's version here. It is beautiful guitar though.

[@achill3usoverclocking874]

Actually only Lazarus and the ES-335 has Burstbuckers but I'm with you, this year it's definately overpriced, I guess they try to beat the scalpers with this price.

This is weird nitpick but I wish the binding on the fretboard and headstock were matching, just like on the original

[@BlueDragon7511]

To the people who complain that this is too expensive for an Epiphone, do keep in mind this is an artist signature, which does tend to jack everything in price. But, if I had to choose between a Gibson and a Epiphone, give me a Epiphone SG with a triple humbucker over a $8,000 Gibson anytime, and I'll be a happy camper.

[@silasmcall]

It's still too much. I would say it's justified if It had BurstBuckers, but I can pick up a triple pickup SG custom in white at Long & McQuade here in Canada for what's around 750 US. So comparing that to almost double at 1,400 and there's not even a pickup upgrade is dissappointing. But there's still the case which probably 150 ish in value and the Kluson Wafflebacks Probably around 130 ish and that with the artists name and custom finish makes it not as bad as people make it out to be.

[@BlueDragon7511]

​@thoiss-is-cool Yeah, well, I am more of a heavy metal guitarist. So, considering what I play, the pickups won't make a huge difference in terms of tone. Volume, maybe, but I just want a presentable instrument that isn't horrible with the QC. If I really don't like it, then I'll simply go ahead and swap those out for some Seymour Duncans and wire them up. At least I won't be wasting $8,000 - $12,000 on a Gibson custom/artist signature.

[@monmixer]

I like SGs. My first real guitar was Crown branded Sg copy and aside of the bolt on neck it was very Gibson like so to speak. I think Cortex was making them because later on I bought a Cortez les paul that was a great guitar. I actually wish I still had it. Great action and sustain for days. Gibson has finally figured out that if they want to compete in that affordable guitar market they had to step up their quality.

If it only came with Gibson Pickups like the two models before! In February 2022 I paid 936 Euro for a brand new Lazarus Les Paul. Look at this price now and think! Looks nice though.

[@TheOldFlyguy]

I find it funny some talk about getting a used Gibson near the price of this as if that's so much better? First, Gibson has 'overpriced' their guitar for sometime not to mention quality control. Epiphone has done nothing but make their product better in recent years. The other statement is Gibson shouldn't keep Epiphone down to be an entry guitar to Gibson. Well, if you want more in anything you have to pay more. When you sit and compare Epiphone to Gibson many times it will go toe to toe. You also have to ask if you get a Gibson Standard SG or 61 reissue is the difference noticeable ESPECIALLY for those playing at home and jamming with friends. Most of the time no. End of story I haven't played this but I have played other Epiphone SG models and if this is in line with them it most likely worth every penny. After all the magic is in the fingers of the player more than the guitar itself.

These Epiphones hum like hell and are no good for stage use. My comment isn't directed against PMTVUK, but rather to the directors at Epiphone and towards Cesar Gueikian, because they are asking what use to be 400 to 700 euros guitars, the same as Korean made guitars from other companies that actually make sure to put brand pickups, locking tuners and stainless steel frets not to mention good electronics.

Yeah pro buckers that cost $170.00 new that $85 a pickup and majority like them a lot more than the Gibson burst buckers..
