New Versions of the Epiphone J-180 - Inspired by Gibson Custom

[@craig6198]

Please do a j200 version demo & compare it too the gibson

[@Dontbootit]

I’m so glad I kept emailing epiphone asking for a Taylor Swift line of affordable j-180s as they haven’t made j-180 in ages. These are recreations of Taylor’s custom j-180 guitars for the Eras tour. You can find my post on the epiphone subreddit, and even my suggested colours. Hilariously on the epiphone website they’re listed in the same order of black pink blue green and purple haha

[@LegsON]

Oh my! Dud they ever respond???

[@LegsON]

Did they ever reply?

[@ss-vm7vw]

@@LegsONwell technically I guess they did if they made her custom styled guitar

[@LegsON]

@@ss-vm7vw Didn't know it's her unique thing.

[@texhaines9957]

I wouldn't bet which color any of my grandchildren would want either. The blue is almost a St. PATRICK'S blue. Thanks Quinton and Paul!

[@luizdiaz5196]

Black, red and natural with parallelogram inlays

[@garysimon2966]

Comes in black too.

[@KRASIPARVANOV]

Not my colour, but obviously plays fUntastic! Great guitars!!!

[@BillNelson-OU812]

They also come in black.

[@lancehouck]

Love you guys! Love these videos! Every time I need serious Gibson acoustic info for my store (Danville Music), I always come to you guys. Can I ask you guys to do something? I'm sure you're already working on it... but since you are huge lovers of J-200's (Me Too!)... Could you do a video on the new Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200?? I'm dying to know what you guys think about it. I want one, but your opinion is super important to me! :) Thanks!

[@BillNelson-OU812]

On my iPhone these guitars sound better than others. Good balance of fundamental and overtones, sparkle, mids, and bass. Others get lost in the recording.

[@Josediaz.27]

Epiphone did this just because of Taylor Swift . She’s been playing that guitar for years (the Gibson model ) . It’s not coincidence that they made the same guitar and the same colors she uses on the eras tour .

[@ia5662]

I love this blue - it's my favorite color though, so I guess I'm that guy. Still prefer my natural Martins

[@realdiamondshow]

slight difference in price!! 😂

[@charlesbolton8471]

I just clicked on the link to their website in description of this video. I have to say out the few Epiphones they available for sale without a doubt my choice would be the actual vintage 1944 Zenith for $1,400.

[@pritchettdan]

No pickguard? Baby blue and pink?

[@kishandaveravindar196]

Curious, what does the LS stand for in the model name?

[@HarryHTF]

love the Taylor Swift colors

[@royalbloodam13]

To everyone about the colours It comes in black, pink, blue, purple and aqua pretty much all of these colours are inspired by taylor swift to reach younger players not so much older players that like traditinal guitar colours. Imagine being a young swiftie and you learn to play guitar on the same one as hers thats the market there going for to bring in new players. Also would be a good collecters guitar because obviously Taylor Swift is so well known that these guitars will be sort out for years espicaly because it pretty much a copy of the ones from her eras tour. So despite your views on Taylor Swift you can't deny that her success has brought millions of people to love and learn to play guitar thats why this guitar was made. hope this helps :)

[@stormengine3261]

Black, red, or white in this style would sell

[@pawlowski6132]

Inspired by Gibson. Brilliant. I'm playing tonight and I'm going to charge a premium because I'm inspired by Joe pass.

[@LegsON]

They're not charging premium prices for these.

[@pawlowski6132]

@@LegsON of course they are. That's the whole marketing angle why else say that?

[@LegsON]

@@pawlowski6132 Even 3k is not a premium price for American market. Maybe 5-6k is. ~1500 USD is nowhere near premium.

[@hotlov72]

Do they make a sunburst Epiphone J-180? Why would they leave it at those 2 colors?

[@LegsON]

Cause they make natural and sunburnt SJ-200.

[@wenjason-t6s]

I like black

[@hotlov72]

They spend time talking about the color, and the finish and neck depth but no opinion on HOW they compare in sound

[@lebe220]

Colored pre war models

[@vadergrd]

laurel fretboard ? for 1300?i doubt the value

[@jimicunningable]

1300.00 import? hard pass

[@ia5662]

It does come with all solid wood back and sides plus a nice hardshell case

[@LegsON]

​@@jimicunningableYep, Taylor 100 and 200 series ain't worth it!

[@FerminHarris-ms4bq]

Your the same guy that would pay that for a laminate Taylor at the same price haha 😂​@@jimicunningable

[@hotlov72]

Taylor Swift Colors

[@Spamfriedrice323]

Yup! She uses the same Gibson variant in some of her live performances. I wouldn't doubt this is Gibson/Epiphone's way to reach out to her younger fans who want to start playing the guitar. I'm all for it tbh

[@MutewetiTomokaMusic]

The only reasons I like this type of guitar especially the black one and the pastel pink one remind me of Taylor Swift. It is on my list of my favourite acoustic guitars

[@annedarlington5837]

I have an Epiphone like this, except mine has f-holes

[@LegsON]

Damn, watch your language, lady!

[@annedarlington5837]

@@LegsON f holes are sound holes

[@MrRafaztar]

I saw Taylor swift eras and noticed she was playing this guitar, the Gibson custom shop version probably

[@anthonyb2334]

Definitely NOT colors I would purchase. I have a wine red J45. It’s nice but I do prefer traditional finish. This is maybe the only acoustic body shape/ model from Gibson/Epiphone that I have not played. Maybe worth a try in traditional finish. Thank you

[@f3uibeghardt522]

Easter colors

[@alancandy6080]

Damned with faint praise.

[@marco_cee_]

"...It plays fine" 🤷‍♂

[@shirlmccullough1993]

Translation: It doesn’t play like a Taylor or Martin. It’s kind of bad!! 😂

[@Shovel-om7kn]

I would be embarrassed to say what I really think. Music Villa must be low on bubble gum or new guitars for material. 😀 Semper Fi

[@speelbergoMF]

I’m a 44 yo hetero Male, got my eye on the pink one

[@littlewing62]

martin drj sounded better to me back at the shop

[@sbolfing]

I think I'd like it if it, but the colors are a turn off for me...

[@joshr961]

Is it just me or does the guy not playing the guitar seem like he has no passion in playing guitar. Seems like in all the other videos your rushing or interrupting dude talking or hurrying up to hand em another guitar instead of letting em finish the riff.

[@hotlov72]

Hes a drummer thats why

[@briguy345]

Idk what's with the weird colors on these

[@maxwellfan55]

Ok, Quinton no likey!

[@Guitar-pro-lk]

Annoying colors for beautiful tone guitars😅😅

[@pudintaine1pudintaine226]

I wish Epiphone would do a inspired by Gibson Dove!

[@fred4664]

Sorry I would never buy one of these colors.

[@elvismemphisgs]

Sound Horrible, nice colours thou

[@ryansevilla9588]

These sound like crap
