    Great video! I agree with your philosophy, (I own 4 Epiphones and they're great guitars), and I love that you know how to demonstrate the sound of a guitar. We hear what it really sounds like, not what it sounds like after it goes through a computer and comes out sounding like every other guitar that person runs through their computer. 🙄 I also love that the Jack Casady UA-cam shows is David's dad, not Jorma's bandmate. 😂

    Not discounting what you are saying but the 60's Epis were made in the Gibson factory and cost just as much as Gibsons Some models like the Casino and Texan were their own thing and did not have a Gibson equivalent

    Even Mike Rutherford of Genesis toured for a while with a Squier....and yes the Beatles and many others used the Epiphone Casino. Affordable instruments. I could care less about the name on the headstock...I don't buy instruments to resell them. If it feels good, plays well, frets aren't sharp and it's not heavy, and affordable, then by all means....enjoy the hell out of it !

    It's not that the squire or at the phone or no good because they are pretty decent but I'm looking at the resale value they don't increase in value like the Gibson or the real Fender like I have a 65 Fender Stratocaster mint condition is worth $18,000 I only paid like $275 when it was new so you do the math can a squire increase in value of course not so it's an investment that you make

    Wow that's awesome. I recently visited Sturgis (not during the rally) and spent about a week seeing the sites. One day I just rode on my motorcycle out of town and rode by Bear Butte just like you did. I didn't know what it was either at the time. I didn't stop but I felt a strong pull to go. I regret now not visiting after finding out about it like you did afterwards. I will definitely go on my next trip. It's been on my mind a lot wishing I would have went.

    I picked up a 12-year old Epiphone Dot recently. It was owned by someone who was more of a collector than a player because it still had the protective plastic covering the pickups and gaurd. Even better, after 12 years, the wood has completely dried and is perfectly stable. I had never played a semi-hollow before, and now wish someone had turned me on to them when I was a younger player. Beautiful, singing tone from what is basically a budget instrument. It is what it is... and what it is, is a great guitar.

    The Epiphones made in Kalamazoo Michigan are not the same class as the Epiphones made in Asia. The Kalamazoo Epiphones were essentially Gibsons. Squiers are a good guitar for the money.

  • @OptimisticMansion-yl1wq
    @OptimisticMansion-yl1wq 2 місяці тому

    It’s all in the setup. If you really know how to carve a nut, set the truss rod properly and know how to set intonation and string height properly - any guitar can play well. That one guy Jack Pearson plays a $100 used Squier and he used to play with the Allman Brothers. But I’m sure his guitar tech adjusted it well.

      I agree. Harley Benton builds some great instruments. In all honesty though, they're not there just yet. My experience with HB has shown me that their materials still leave something to be desired. Specifically, soft frets.

    I've never had a Squier or an Epiphone, but got an Player Strat (MIM) a few years ago and absolutely great guitar. Definitely good enough to gig and record, put that through a decent amp and you'd struggle to hear the difference between that and an American made Strat. Alot of it is guitar snobbery and good marketing, but cheaper guitars are great and you avoid the law of diminishing returns. Upgrading any budget guitar (if even necessary) just needs a good amp and upgraded pickups in most cases.
