  • I have a 85 Gibson V and Marshalls absolutely killer!
    I would suggest Jackson dropped the ball with Daves signatures snd Martys as well, those could be in production to this day and still making revenue.
    I do have the Brendon smalls Galaktikon burst Epiphone, um its excellent in every single way.

  • Ok. I always loved your channel and I have learnt a lot of extra supra useful things by watching you, but now I really believe even more that you are the most honest guy out there. Wanna know why? You said the truth about how disappointing were Metallica to their fans, when they released the load, reload – unload etc. bullshit. I sold everything that i had from this band, never listened to their music again. It is of course just my opinion, but we were just kids back then, waiting for new albums to be released. This was our joy. We didn't have internet back then. We had our friends, our bicycles and our music, that's all. For us it was a betrayal. And the whole napster thing, with Lars Ulrich, the BIGGEST assh0le in the music industry, crying for pennies being a millionaire. How pathetic. Sorry for the long message. And maybe my english are poor. I am 42 years old, I know many people will hate me for what I said, others will agree. Well I don't care, I choose honesty like you, that's why I respect you so much. Thank you for being real and staying true and honest. People don't do that easily in our days. Keep on sharing the knowledge, it matters so much.

  • Have you considered doing a review on the 30th anniversary LTD KH-3 possibly comparing it too an LTD Eclipse 1000?

  • Signature guitars are a horrible idea no matter who makes them, Les Paul excluded lol. Make your guitar iconic on your own. If you want a relic, play drunken outdoor biker parties for a couple of summers and it will relic nicely on its own…..

  • Great guitar and that case is at least 150 euro..so..epiphone has entered its golden age. Safe money for all the models and you have a very good investment

  • I bought this guitar after seeying this video from you and i must say WHAT A BAD PURCHASE I MADE WITH THIS GUITAR…. The Guitar arrived today to my country and…… WHAT A DISSASTER… Frets are PATHETIC!, the strings rub the frets in almost all the neck so many many notes sounds mutted, the fret wood is like it was no polished and when i make a bending it seems like i was scraping the wood in the frets, the guitar have some difficults to stay in tune, WHAT A DISASTER AND WASTE OF MONEY is the only thing i can say about this guitar……….

    And the thing that seems to be a joke is that behind the headstock there is a sticker that says "100% inspected and set up in the USA by Epiphone…" ha ha ha so this DISSASTER of guitar was "inspected by Epiphone"?? then they need to dedicate to another job seriously……..

    I don´t know what Epiphone has in mind… Because making this DISSASTER of guitars and selling them in those prices i think they will find their bankrupt…

    I know that all this things can be solved by a Luthiere but….. I need to pay who knows how much to a luthier after haveing paid $1500 for this New Guitar??? Seriously Epiphone???

    If i were living in the USA i would ask for a refund and send this Chinese Dissaster back but unfortunately for me, i don´t live in the USA and for me, to return the guitar is so expensive, so sadly for me, i´m going to have to keep it…..

  • Just ordered the demo prophecy from Sweetwater..Never thought i would be so excited for an Epiphone..lol

  • I wouldn't say I like the Prophecy line, I have the SG, and the pickups are junk, I'm not too fond of the tone I get with those Fluence active pickups. I have all new parts and a set of Pearly gates I am going to drop in it. I have a cheap set of Fluence pickups for sale, they are worthless to me. Hard to belive anyone would recommend them.

  • I 100% agree, I love the poly finish on my guitars, the idea that they will rot away is sad to think about, but that is what Gibson wants, guitars that age and turn yellow, are sad.

    Reply
  • I don’t like where they place the volume knobs on the Gibson or epiphone Mustain guitars, it gets in the way like a strat

    Reply
  • the only time I think about a finish is if my arm sticks to it. Most poly finishes my forearm sticks to and eventually gets a rash
