Me too 👍👍👍

1500 bucks for some made in China Guitar, ha ha ha. Same old chionese cheap crap build with some USA pickup! The fret board looks not Rosewood for sure

Damn. Just the opening licks was enough to make me perk up and pay attention. There's a red house over yonder...... 🎸🎶🎶

[@markdakel9253]

It looks and sounds great. Why are they not using Ebony or Rosewood for the fretboard? At that price point, it should come with one of the two.

[@jameslonglove]

Why....oh why does it have a Laurel board??? Sounds great and the playing is great as well.

[@darwinsaye]

Same hardness as rosewood, so why care?

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

​@@darwinsayeguitarists are traditionalists,

[@jeromewagschal9485]

Epiphone ( and Squier too I guess ) had to come up with alternatives when rosewood was "outlawed" by the CITES organization back in 2017...Indian Laurel, Pau ferro, jatoba, baked maple etc were their other choices, even if rosewood is no longer an endangered species ( at least in the guitar industry ) I suppose that Epiphone can't just throw away all their stocks of laurel and other woods or simply breach contracts with their suppliers... It would make sense for them to only use their stocks of rosewood on very limited series or any Epiphone USA models... That said I agree...At this price we should get rosewood fingerboards... I'm getting one of these anyway 🙂🙂

[@marccarter1350]

@@darwinsaye Beacuse Laural is shit to play. Its why higher end guitar use real Rosewood! Thats a marketing line use to sell cheap shit!

Crazy how people hate, i get it, it's not original or whatever but damn spend your money how'd you like

[@MoeVanprick]

Epiphone baby!! You GIBSON fanboys read this..That's absolutely correct! Les Paul's vision for a solid-body electric guitar began taking shape with "The Log" in 1939-1941, in collaboration with Epiphone. "The Log" was essentially a 4x4 pine post with a neck and homemade pickups. Les Paul's experimentation with "The Log" led to refinement and eventual partnership with Gibson Guitars. Gibson's Ted McCarty, influenced by Les Paul's design, created the iconic Gibson Les Paul model in 1952. Key milestones: 1. 1939-1941: Les Paul and Epiphone develop "The Log." 2. 1941: Les Paul showcases "The Log" to Gibson, but they initially reject the idea. 3. 1952: Gibson, inspired by Les Paul's design, releases the first Gibson Les Paul model. Your contribution highlights the significance of Les Paul's pioneering work and the evolution of the solid-body electric guitar! Would you like more information on guitar innovation or Les Paul's legacy?

[@brunoantony9257]

time to ditch the Laurel fretboards, Gibson

[@LeopoldShitzalot]

Better research what Laurel is used on try $3,000 instruments the laurel BS is old and tiresome.. know what you're talking about before you open your mouth

[@Newbomb_Turks_Punch]

Can guarantee you, you wouldn’t know the difference.

[@LeopoldShitzalot]

@@Newbomb_Turks_Punch I know someone with a 3,500 violin buddy neck is laurel people don't research anything first this is why they continue to put their foot in their mouths or maybe the like the taste of feet 😂🤣

[@marccarter1350]

I had one withg that fret board used. It felt awful. I returned it. Its why I buy only Rosewood fretboard. Laural feels really dry, even after you have soaked it in conditioner

[@LewisShieldsUS]

Gon' gimme one Throw it far as I can Got some theories about this whole "Flying" V thing

[@Savior.Mountgreen]

I believe this guitar is equipped with Gibson strings. Could you kindly confirm the exact model and gauge?

[@bobpedone6168]

I did buy one and really wanted to love this guitar. It is obviously a great guitar but mine was not. I really just think it was a lemon. I have been playing and collecting guitars for over 50 years and have probably owned close to 200 guitars over the years. I own epiphones that I love dearly, Gibsons, Fenders and many others. The Guitar was UNPLAYABLE out of the box. It came from a company that just moves the boxes, no inspection like that big sweet company in the mid-west. The frets were so scratchy you could hear the strings scraping across the frets as you played. It would not stay in tune for even 1 song,but with the cheap plastic saddles and nut its no wonder, and yes they ARE plastic even though they have another name for it. The biggest surprise was how aweful it sounded. Again, I think there was something wrong with it, the pickups moved around and shook back and fourth so much I had to shim them to stop them from moving around. Its a great looking guitar but my guitar was a total pile, I think the worst guitar I had ever bought and I have owned every brand made just about twice.dont know why they didnt put a quality nut ans bridge on it, hope you have better luck I pity the person who buys the one I sent back..

[@Maldito_flipper616]

What's the secret to that tone? Is it blues driver? Is it slapback? Share your settings, i still can't figure out what is it

[@plamenpenkov2865]

Epiphone marketing department meeting: Smart guy who is in touch with actual guitar players: 'Guys, why not make a White one, Black One and a Teal one. We don't pay anything to Hetfield, Hammet and Faulkner, but people are gonna buy them anyway. Put the cheapest pickups in, cause EMGs will go in first day, sell them for 700-800 bucks, we couldn't make them fast enough?' Team leader: 'Nope let's make a real ugly one cause Hendrix played one that one time before he realized the vibrola suggz. Also purple and we pay Hammett for it. Also put expensive American pickups in them, eventhough customers will swap them for EMGs. 1500 bucks...' Smart guy: 'How about make a 50's red one to capitalize on Hammet's custom ESP he actually uses?' Team Leader: 'Nope, blue sparkle it is' 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

1500??? For an epiphone?????????????

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

I love this whole "Inspired by Gibson" scam Epiphone has going to crank up the prices on their Chinese-made guitars. First, when you think of high quality don't you immediately think of China? Second, aren't all of Epiphone's guitars copied from... er, I mean, inspired by Gibson? I guess the real point is for Epiphone to move into Gibson's "under $5,000" bracket while Gibson continues to put out mediocre instruments for $10,000 and up.
