    Hey, what a great video. Thank you. I would not care about the fretboard inlays. But the blue one sounds a bit clearer. She might be better for stage use, because she seems to pass a bit easier over the upright bass and seems to be a bit more present in a band context. The tombstone inlets were used already in some Gretsch models in the early years, so I would never care about the inlet style ;)

  • @TedPiuni
    @TedPiuni 13 днів тому

    The "lightening " bridge on my Epiphone Les Paul SL has the same problem & the post retainers are pulling out of the body. I bought a replacement from Amazon with individual string intonation. It makes the action much higher & is still sloppy on the posts. ( Also posts are sloppy in the body inserts ) This is going to need lots of tlc to make it a decent playing guitar. Made in USA doesn't mean what it did in the past.

  • @twintail38
    @twintail38 14 днів тому

    I didn’t see you check for a properly cut nut. Did I miss that? If it’s not properly cut, you could have serious intonation and chording issues.

    • @hoganshideout
      @hoganshideout 14 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment twin. The nut on this guitar is fine and over the years I have rarely seen guitars from Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, etc., where the factory installed nut is bad enough to cause any serious intonation issues. Many new guitars do not have the nut cut down to the nth degree, but they are generally quite playable.

    I have the same problem with the sloppy feeling Stud bridge on my new Gibson LP Special. I have two Epiphone "Inspired By" versions and they have tight fitting studs. I plan on ordering some stud bolts that tighten for the Gibson, but you should have to do that on an $1800 guitar. My Gibson version weighs over 9 pounds too. I had previously bought one that was only 7 pounds 2 ounces. I sent it back because the wood in the body was badly mis-matched and it looked awful. All in all, I went through testing 9 Gibsons before I found my current one. I bought it because it felt the best with a thicker neck and good frets. All of the other ones I tried had been Pleked until they felt like the old "Fretless Wonders". No excuse for that other than having lazy or untrained operators of the Plek machine. It feels awful when your fingertips rub so much when you do any string bending at all. As it is now, one of my Epiphones is my favorite Special to play. It just feels better and the P-90s even sound better. I thought Gibson was getting their sh*t together, but they seem to have come a long way to make the guitars look better while ignoring the overall playability issues...!
