Great review, man. I was fancying getting a used one, and you helped me make up my mind

Yes we got to stop buying guitars, i phones, tvs, electric goods, cars, clothes, most things we use daily from China and then we can all enjoy our empty houses and walk around in the nude

I gig heavily with the 50 watt version and vertical 2x12. It seems solidly built to me. The tolex is slightly soft. You just have to use an amp cover and be careful. Early Marshall’s never had corner protectors.

Sickkkk!! 😮💥👌🙌🙌👍👍

My reason for not doing covers is simply because it doesn't resonate with my spirit. I think doing covers is a lazy, unprofessional and unoriginal thing to do. I firmly believe in creativity and uniqueness, especially as a rock n roll fan. I live in Barbados and for the last 2 decades or so people have been playing the same bland covers. Zombie, Hey Joe, Smells Like Teen Spirit... all of that stuff. I mean, if people want to do that, whatever. However, the venue owners here only hire bands that play covers, which is THEE most ridiculous thing I've ever experienced. So now I can't get employed as a musician, despite having over 100 releases on Bandcamp which began in 2013. It pisses me off tremendously because people here believe that if you want to be a good musician you gotta know how to play someone else's song. It's by far the most socially retarded thing I've witnessed in my life. And it's like, people nowadays have such poor vision. Could you imagine if all of the rock bands in the world just played covers? There'd be no progression, no ground breaking discoveries, no substance. People suck man...

Taylor Baby or Big Baby, as easy to play as an electric. Affordable and sounds good. Easy to sell when it’s time to move up.

Im a Full Sized Man with a Fun Sized Guitar🤙Wish these were around when I was a Kid

Great Video John! I’ve been toying around with this concept for a while. I read somewhere Marcus King would use a Tube Screamer as a poor man attenuator. He used it extremely similar to how your video shows, the only difference is you crank your amp and put it last in the signal chain. My twist on it is I run multiple ODs in the chain and the last one is always setup with the volume as low as it can be while making a sound. That way I can get the Amp to have a little more of teh power growl, while also preserving my marriage. 1 word of caution, if you have big amps, don’t accidentally turn that quiet OD off. You and everyone will know about it if you do.

Will that guitar through a 100w super lead make my kid sound like Jimi Hendrix?

I got this because it's a very lightweight guitar for my back. Absolutely love it, has a very unique tone and looks great. Nice review! I subscribed

You’re the first person I’ve seen demoing one of these that seems to understand that the Origin series is aimed at sounding like the early 60s pre-Plexi Marshalls, and that it’s *not* supposed to sound like a late 60s Plexi SLP. 👍🏻

You have a thousand items in your house/apartment right now . 975 of them are made in China . 🤷‍♂

It has like an older mid 70's Neil Young type tone to me which I love.

Played most the video at 2 x speed and for the most part it was better.

Nice tones. I liked and subscribed. 🎼 You got to see what the Lord has done.

Love this video. Great review. Have you got a guide to your slide playing; I would really like to learn your style of playing. I am bored with using a pick and have loved American Blues since I was a child; now in my 50s. I need some guidance on guitar tuning for slide, and your finger style; what fingers for what strings etc Absolutely great work; video will be saved to my favourites.

The flame maple veener top is REAL wood...Its a thin cut taken from selecr pieces of flame maple and heat and pressure glued onto a plain maple cap. It is cost reducing while giving the aesthetics of flammed maple because it IS. Also, the back on thise guitars is plain mahogany with no ribbon mahogany veneer over it. Two piece and three piece bodies are irrelevant in function. One is neither better or worse than the other tangibly. These are fantastic guitars at a great price. Great review no less !!!

I’m considering this guitar. Thanks for the review.

Now that Epiphone has released a new version of these with a 1pc neck and “open book” head stock are you aiming to do a follow up at some point? Cheers.

I have that model. I love it. Sounds great plays great. Looks great. Only issue i have is i wish they put dot inlay instead of the thumbnail inlay.

Can this head be connected to the 4 x 12 cabinet?

Great video liked and subscribed.

Your the first review to say it has a veneer on the back, most I have seen said the body was two pieces.

Definitely NO veneer on the back. It's solid mahogany in 2 pieces & very well matched.

no better than you play this should be a good guitar for you

the Epi '59's don't have a veneer on the back. Most are two piece bodies.

you got the brand name wrong in the description

Nice pocket

You're wrong about the veneer on the back. They are 2 piece mahogany back. That's one of the specs that make it an upgrade from the 50s std.

Drummer is way too loud drowning you out

I've got the Epiphone "Inspired By Gibson" Les Paul Standard 50's in both Metallic Gold and Sweetwater's Exclusive Lemonburst. Both are stock from the factory and both will hold their own against my Gibson 2014 R8. Epiphone are really making some excellent guitars now.

IF your ever in the clarksdale Mississippi area hollar at me.

Good version. Nifty

Definitely agree on the noise floor -- it's really my only complaint about this little guy. I immediately wonder if perhaps changing out the stock tubes might help, maybe even put something lower gain in the FX loop slot? Other than the background hiss I love this amp.

Similar story to me, been lugging a v,nice custom shop 2012 but itvstarted getting banged up so I looked for a less pretty and less expensive traveling Guitar, I too have need of a fat neck and after trying almost 50 Guitars I took home a "Gibson, les paul special tribute black" nice fat 50s neck , 2 p90s, lightweight USA made. Changed the bridge for a decent aluminium wrap around and put a treble bleed in the treble pu control. A through a 20watt Fender deluxe and it can get any sound needed. Never ever let me down in 4 years. I feel the same, I just want the real thing even if is a "Stripped down" no frills plank designed for students. Love that Gibson made those "Tributes". With decent padded gigbag £800 GBP. Bargain, just change the bridge and its as close as you will get to a 50s for a real world price and sounds very different to the copies, even the expensive Epiphones. Thankyou ideas Person at Gibson.

Fake sounds a little harsh. I refer to Gibson's as grossly overpriced Epiphones. I've owned both for years and have found Epiphones more consistently playable. Of course I'm referring to the non custom shop variety of Gibson as I have never owned one.

2.33 'i wish anybody to would stop making guitars in China... becouse it's a communist country .... Hahahahahaaaaa...

Hey love your style man 🤘

Those don’t have a veneer back. It does have the top veneer. I have three and they all have a two piece back. The normal epiphone Les Paul’s do have a veneer back though

Mississippi delta blues man!!

Nice!

Duane Allman is in this amp

59 came in and I love it. same color from sweetwater. both the 59 and 50's play better than any gibson I've ever owned at 1/4 the price. gibson needs to get inthe game.

You should have bought the dark burst, I did. I polished the top on mine and now it looks more like an Iced Tea Burst and the flame top really stands out, now (lots of movement). I also swapped out the pickups for a set of Custom Buckers, for a R9 (bought from the Gibson Custom Shop). Now it looks, feels and sounds like my real R9 for 1/4 of the price... as it should. Dare to be different... polish that top, I guarantee that you will love the result... it should tone down the orange and bring out the flame top.

Look more closely, brother; that's a two piece body, no veneer covering on back.

Are there big differences between this and the epiphone 50s les paul standard?

Cool.. i like it :)

I have four guitars all left handed last guitar I bought was epiphone acoustic the guitar before that was a gretsch streamliner the only guitar I have left from the four is a Ventura Barney Kessel that guitar is right handed I have my strings set up left handed that guitar needs new pickups I been singing and playing over 50 years I know how to fix them also

😊there great I have epiphone Les Paul left handed 50s also over 12 years still sounds great

Very cool. great playing. great video
