GIBSON vs EPIPHONE: Gibson Kirk Hammett GREENY vs Epiphone Kirk Hammett Greeny Les Paul Standard

[@jfiery]

Every once and awhile the algorithm pays off. Dig your personality, review and playing. Great job. Subbed.

[@EvilMerlin]

Got my Epiphone Greeny yesterday... just can't justify that money for the Gibson when the Epiphone is that much less money. The QC on the Epiphone is BETTER than most of my Gibsons. A LOT better.

[@Spiralbythesea]

the Gibson sounded better to me. the neck on the epi was kinda dark. lovely pickups on them.

[@richardturner7560]

The Gibson looks a lot better and has a better out of phase sound but sound wise I was very surprised with how close the epi was. Awesome playing btw!

[@mortonwilson795]

Excellent comparison, thanks! The Gibson had a very slight edge for me (literally and figuratively - touch brighter in the middle position) but both quality instruments.

[@CircleOf5ths]

My thought is a simple swap to orange drop caps on the Epi may pull it more in line with this Gibson, if you like the Gibson tone. Cheap & easy to do.

[@greenmanalishi6963]

I don’t like the finish on the epiphone. It’s too plastic looking

[@andrewtate8303]

Agree it looks cheap

[@Hickeroar]

That Epiphone neck pickup sounds heavenly (ok, they both do). My Epiphone Greeny is in the mail.

[@memphismick7010]

I got one. I love it.

[@user-ks6up1vi5t]

nice demo, nice playing, some videos suck because they can't play and they play with disgusting dirty sound. This is refreshing to see and hear. Thank you

[@williamkyle6275]

Yeah, obviously both have quality tones. Professional players will go with Gibson and Bedroom Rock stars go with Epiphone, win win situation and btw, Carnauba wax will polish up the Epiphone very nicely. Great video and great playing Man. Thanks for sharing.

[@gersh1642]

Cracking demo, great to hear chords that us normal players use for a change. Excellent, nice one!! 🙏

[@phillipkoutrouby2697]

Great review brother I love both guitars but can only afford the epiphone the Gibson does sound a little clearer though

[@rigglydiggly666]

Another fantastic video!! Keep up the great work guys! Quality reviews, quality production, and quality personality and playing; love it!!

[@Seancc0424]

The Gibson def sounded better. And dude…..first time seeing one of your vids. Love your playing style!

[@jam_006]

seems like gibson's pickups are higher and closer to the strings, more volume and compression for me

[@andrewbecker3700]

Many times it's not the pickup height, but the actual position where the pickups are mounted. If you measure them carefully you'll see that Gibson pickups are spaced further apart. The bridge is closer to that pickup, and the ring of the neck pickup is thinner which allows it to be mounted further up the scale.

[@jorgeh.fernandes1681]

indeed, such a sick review! thanks for sharing.

[@nicopoppe4838]

Proof that wood matters... okoume is darker and mid heavy unplugged and plugged.

[@innyshaTH]

Fantastic information that we need 🎉❤

[@MickeyMouse-xy6op]

Thanks for demonstrating. The Epiphone sounded way better to be honest. More bite and clarity than the Gibson. But the Gibson did have more edge in the middle position though.

[@iantsangmusic]

Such a high-quality video! As a Strat and Ibanez RG owner, I'm definitely considering the Epiphone for my first singlecut guitar.

[@mvdz1]

loving this review thanks

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Great demo/review. Decent tones. I also owned the Grandmeister 40 for a good while. Haven't been happier since I was able to replace it with a Rivera Clubster Royale recording.

[@pauljohnson3686]

The comparison between the two is really entry level vs custom.. A better comparison would be the Epiphone Greeny vs the Vintage V100 Lemon Drop greeny.

[@memphismick7010]

$1500 is not an entry level Epiphone. There is another review video where the fella compares the Gibson, an older Epiphone and a less than $300 Chibson. He seemed to have the most complaints on the Gibson!

[@johnmckenna4256]

Glad I found this channel, That was a great review

[@TUUK2006]

What you said about the long neck tenon only being found on Custom Shop is not true at all. It's not even new to Epiphone. The original Epiphone Slash AFD from more than a decade ago even had it.

[@user-ks6up1vi5t]

that's interesting ,I just bought a 2023 Epi Slash AFD w/case from Sweetwater just 3 months ago, no long neck tenon, I also have 4 Epi '59's, I hot rod all my guitars so I take pickups out all the time. I sold the Slash AFD and put a deposit on a Greeny, I will pay the rest tomorrow and it will ship.

[@sharads6134]

Cort CR250 Antique Amber looks exactly like Epiphone Greeny. It sounds better than both Epiphone Greeny and Gibson Greeny. And it costs 1/4th of Epiphone Greeny.

[@Wakingiants]

Nice video. What neck profile is there on Greeny? 50s profile neck? 60s profile? Thanx

[@oscarsaldanaudio]

59 profile. Not as chunky as the 50’s neck.

[@srviyol]

The Gibson is more organic sound and have more frecuancys

[@patp3395]

Great review. This time Epiphone wins not only for the price 😊

[@cujo8762]

This is off topic but what head unit/cabinet are you using and what if any effects pedals? thanks

[@rhythmNbeard]

Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister Deluxe 20 > Orange PPC212V > an Alesis rack effects unit for reverb

[@cujo8762]

The tone coming from your setup and the Greeny is Legendary! Thanks for the info.

[@rhythmNbeard]

@@cujo8762 Cheers man! 🍻

[@VelvexMedia]

Guitar Greeny, but the song is Slashy and Myles. lol

[@MrRFasters]

Differeneces are very, very, very small. Next time, compare the vid sound-by-sound wise. Using a split pedal to swap guitars swiftly, without the cumbersome and hindring cable switches. In any true band, podium, live or jam setting nobody wille be able to tell the difference.

[@TwistSmash]

Gibson all the way

[@andressierra2167]

Epiphone color is more accurate

[@AjeasTimor76]

👍👍👍

[@leafclover8891]

7k for china made epiphone.. save some more get real gibson, or premium japan made les paul.
