The Guitar That's Taking On Gibson and Epiphone!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Some guitarists are wondering what the best budget guitar is when you're looking for a Gibson style guitar, whether it's a Les Paul style or a semi hollow 338 style body. One company is challenging the established industry, AIO, All In One guitars is punching way above their weight class. With ebony fretboards, Grover tuners, flame maple top and backs, and beautiful fretwork, whether you're looking at the KSA-50 or the SC77 as covered by Lester Mitchell, it's hard to argue with the extreme value that these guitars provide.

Oh man, I didn't expect to see myself! Thanks so much for the shout-out Max!! Also, those blues licks you ripped sounded killer on that AIO 🎸
I have American made les Paul's and strats. I took a Chance on aio wolf and bought an s1 based on one of your reviews. It is now my number 1. I plan to buy more of their guitars. You cannot beat them for price. They are ready to rock out of the box ! They even let you pick your setup specs for free, nobody else does that. I let them know you got me to buy it. Thanks guitar max.
Wolf is doing a whole lot in that $500 price point. Glad you are enjoying yours.
its an awesome time when we get guitars that are just as good as the big names at the fraction of the cost.
They aren’t just as good though .. you can put time and money into them and get about 90 percent there though
FYI , I don’t consider epiphone a “big name “
@@juanvaldez5422well doesn't matter what you consider.. let's see Epiphone 1873.. Epiphone and Les Paul in 1939 into 41 the inventor and place where the solid body guitar was birthed 10 years later the its called the Gibson Les Paul..I'm the Beatles.. Rolling Stones.. Ritchie blackmore..Eric Clapton I mean the list is long who played them to Joe bonamassa..Alex lifeson.. Nancy Wilson and that list is off the charts..and haven't even scratched the surface your another one who just got caught in your own BS your not that bright 😅🤣😂
@@juanvaldez5422what kind of Glue are you sniffing boy? You need help😂🤣😅
Damn right it is, the profit margin reality check was a long time coming. It's a flood now, for wader birds, tyre-kickers and guitarists . Don't forget, though, they're easy to buy, but hard to sell.
Beautiful inlay design on the Headstock. Nice to see that AIO appreciates the visual value of that.
I have owned 3 and they all were great. Sold them to finance another more expensive guitar and regretted later.
Planning on getting one of the les paul style models Aio makes. They look most excellent.
Thanks for sharing!
Love the binding and ebony fretboard and dark mahogany headstock .
Anything that gives the middle finger to Gibson is a win in my book. 👍
Hey, Max! It was posted on July 24, 2024. You might want to add it to your list of interviews.
I have an abiding respect for A.I.O. ever since I caught your interview with the big boss at their store. It’s the kind of thing I will never forget. Serious dude. I remember he personally double checks every single guitar after his people have finished setting them up. All of them.
That’s amazing; to be the one guy who says, “If you own an AIO, I saw it, I touched it, and it’s set up exactly my way. I approved THAT guitar myself.” Hell of a thing, Max. I don’t know of anybody else who can do and say that. That’s some serious culturally inherent, unrelenting pursuit of perfection and reputation. So if anybody has a complaint, they would talk to THAT guy.
All In One. Now THAT’s cool!
Fantastic guitar. Still have my Wolf and it's amazing. And glad to see you giving some props to Lester. He certainly deserves it!
Couldn't agree more!
Wow Max your blues playing has improved immensely and I can only wish to play with your speed. Love the AIO and Wolf stuff but cannot afford to watch this video, let alone another axe
Thanks!
You don’t even get binding on the edges of the F holes on an Epiphone but definitely notice that this one you’ve got definitely does!
Good point!
That looks so good and I don't recall seeing that on others before
I noticed that detail, too. Just as I had shamed Epiphone when I saw their lack of f-hole binding, I will commend AIO for including it. Usually if a company takes the time and effort to address such a detail, it bodes well for how they constructed the rest of the guitar.
GM is awesome for shouting out and giving props to other guitar players and their vids. R E S P E C T is a 2 way street and it has to be EARNED. Thanks Max for another informative video.
I am still so in love with my AIO Wolf WLP750T... the sound, the feel, everything about it is sheer perfection. I bought it because of you, Guitar MAX, and I couldn't be happier. When my budget allows, I'll likely pursue another AIO guitar. They truly are an exceptional brand.
My epiphone has grover tuners, multiply binding, ebony fretboard, and cts pots
Max like the vast majority of content creators are pathological liers zero credibility this is why you always research a UA-cam content creators claims and the majority of the times you'll find they really are lying it's sickening
Mine have 5 ply binding and all the goodies
I have around 10 Epi’s and love them; I also have 4 AIOs, and they’re as good if not much better - there’s no BS here, AIOs are probably the best value for the price out there right now

@@sona3486 max tried to put a cheap AIO guitar up against a high end Epiphones and Gibsons you're not that bright then ..Max is a pathetic liar and he got caught..but don't feel bad the majority of UA-camrs are pathological liers this is why you never ever take a UA-camr word for anything you always research what they are claiming
Hi Max..Nice guitar...love the way you pick...really good..Thanks Dave
It's pretty! Max, I gotta say I enjoyed the playing portion of the review. Nice!!
Great info. love your reviews!
Dude! You’re finally a blues player. Well done at the intro.
I found your review as I have been looking at that very guitar. You video gave me the info I was needing to make the choice. Thank you.
Nice riffing Max! Sounds excellent!
Thanks a lot!
My AIO les Paul has microphonic pickups and feeds back like crazy with any gain at all
Oh but according to MAX Epiphone can't compete I'm still laughing at him
They're an OEM guitar ordered from a decent manufacturer to their specs and set up before being dispatched. The company is a couple of guys with low overheads and they sell direct. Pretty simple business formula. Of course it's a different scenario to Epiphone who employ hundreds or thousand of people and have massive overheads and by the way also has the history of actually designing these types of instruments not just copying them. It's like buying some fantastic food truck meal where the owner is the cook, cleaner, server, bookkeeper etc and keeps all the profit for himself or going to a nice restaurant and getting a similar meal where the owner has Chefs, kitchen staff, servers, accountants, rent, utilities, liability insurance and shitloads of other overheads.
Awesome video! I have been waiting for a good reason to try AIO - looks like I just found it! (Debating on cancelling my DG Epiphone order…). Good stuff!
I like this guitar a lot, but the deal breaker is the little skinny 41mm nut width...
Yeah not sure why they chose that for this model most everything else they do is 43 my big hands definitely prefer the wider nut
@@I.am_Groot 42mm is my minimum, and really like 43/44mm.
Great demonstration, I like the way that you covered the details about the guitar and how it would perform on different settings and also you describing the set up that you used for the demo. What type of camera and microphone set up did you use?
I’ve been dying to get my hands on a good, inexpensive semi-hollow. Been leaning towards Gretsch, might have to try to track one of these down.
Firefly FF338 is still supposedly quite good for the price. But I suggest a Squier Starcaster.
@@fallenstard I had a Firefly SG a couple years ago. Looked great but didn’t love the sound or playability. Looking for something I can use to record my debut blues album with. Wouldn’t be opposed to a Starcaster.
You absolutely will NOT go wrong with one of the AIO KSA50s or KSA90s - they’re phenomenal guitars
I’m sure you know already but those Sire’s are supposed to be great.
@@weedian710 I’ve heard great things, haven’t gotten a chance to play one yet. Hoping one rolls through my local shop soon.
Your a great shredder but thankfully , your showing us and letting us hear you blues playing and other styles .My ears and heart thank you . ❤
I appreciate that!
NICE TONE LOVE IT. PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR EXCELLENT VIDEOS THERE EDUCATIONAL AND INSPIRING. GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks again for an honest review of an affordable guitar. Being an acoustic fingerstyle player, i own a few high end guitars but do like to fiddle with electric guitars as well. Something of this quality and tone are fine for when i need to have an 8 track flashback and play 70s tunes for my friends and family. Tom in Maine.
Honest review? He lied through his face pal and was caught
Excellent video, and great playing as usual!!
So is the P-38 your favorite fighter?
😎
Beautiful Guitar 🎸 Great Playing BTW.. Definitely interested in this AIO Guitar Company... Have An Awesome Weekend... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶
Good looking and sounding guitar!
Hey Maxx love your channel!
I bought my es 339 in 2019. I freaking love that guitar. Make no mods except remove the pickguard. But my next purchase would likely be the AIO you're showing here. I love my Epiphone guitars ( I have six of them), but it may be time to switch teams.
This is so cool. I've got that exact same guitar. Bought it about 4 years ago based on your reviews of Wolf. Same color, everything and came set up to my specs. The only noticeable difference is the shape of the headstock. Probably the best guitar I've ever owned. Thanks
I've several AIO guitars on my Christmas wish list . Thanks Max
Good choice!
I love the way you play. So relaxed and skillful. Then there is the way you address the camera. I don't know exactly if you like what I like. None the less I am going to keep in the spirit.
Where these guitars excel is you could effortlessly get endless sustain, like a Sustainiac but without needing a battery or special electronics. You basically controlled the feedback/endless notes with the angle your held your guitar in relation to your proximity from your speaker. If done right, you really didn't need to crank up the volume or gain much on your amp, although turning up the volume on a distortion box could easily get you edge of breakup and feedback with unlimited sustain. Guitar tone heaven!
Dude!! Just checked out their website and the amount of ebony and rosewood fret boards is fantastic!!
Icing on the cake,... *"Abalone inlays and bindings!!!"* ❤🔥 Fell in love with one of the LPs with gold hardware and Grover Tuners!!
If these sound as good as the what you're demoing here,... Freaking Aye!!! 🤩
Yeah,... Christmas might come early this year!! 🤣👍
I just bought the Blue copy of this one. Can't wait to play it. I own both a Gibson ES-335, and Epiphone ES-335, both red with inlays. So, I'm looking forward to doing a triple comparison with this new guitar.
Nice piece....
Your blues rift practices are really paying off. Just wanted you know we can tell how many hours you put in off screen.
Thanks!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Has an edgy sound that I like + an ebony fretboard + grovers. I will have to do some research.
In comparison, I have an Epiphone Sheraton II Pro. Had to do a plek and setup out of the box but on the whole, the Epi platform is pretty nice for the price, Grovers, binding, slim profile D neck. Although it has a different vibe , I think the Epi is competitive with the AIO IMO
Very cool!
Thanks Max for doing what you do & the way
you do it, you do it the right way. You give an accurate representation to what the instruments are capable of and by using the affordable amps & systems you show what's possible for us 'less than fortunate' people out there that can't afford the Mesa Boogies, or Marshall Stacks, or Soldano SLO-100's, (no matter how much we wish we COULD!). YOU'RE doing an awesome job & if I ever have a question about if I should get a piece of gear 'YOU' are the FIRST reviewer I look for, if I know Max has used the gear, that's good enough endorsement for me to know to get it!! Be it whatever!! I rely on both you & Richard James & Jimmy Stewart too!! (Jimmy knows the 'cold weather' do's & don'ts like we have to deal with up here in Minnesota Brrrrrr!!! (I hate the bitter cold!!). Thanks again Brother!! Keep on Rockin' - Greg Leonard 🤘🤙👍
Don't let anybody tell you a different way.
Better check out the epiphone specs that was posting Max got caught lying about Epiphone 😂😅😂😂😅😅
Yeah he's doing what he does best like most UA-camrs lying through his teeth 😅😅😅😂😂
@@BlueberryStinkFinger62 - THIS coming from 'gentlemen too scared to use their 'real names' when posting "Comments"??? I beg your pardon .. did you ever think in the 'Perfect' world YOU work in, that maybe it was a mental slip on Maxes part because memorizing all the specs of all the guitars he deals with just might be a hard thing to bat 100% on? I noticed you were too 'lazy' to even give me a playback of what YOU'RE talking about so I have something to refer to?? But BOY are YOU perfect in calling out Max on possibly an innocent error 'he' might've made? Sure wish I could be "PERFUCT" like you guys!! Grow up you nameless twits!!

@@Greg-kj5rryour bs replies aren't cutting it numb nuts max was caught lying through his teeth about EPIPHONE.. and his lies weren't even believable in the first place bottom line get over it.dont even try to talk your way out of your stupidity definitely isn't going to work 😅😅😂😂
That tone reminds me of Alvin Lee’s “10 Years After “ Gibson ES335 1960 model.
agree. got and AIO gold top and is an amazing guitar! better then Gibson. body is slightly smaller, but amazing LP. pickups are great.
the ebony fretboard is a winner.
I would highly recommend AIO.
I shopped around and was going to get a Gibson 335 , there was a Bonamassa 335 Epiphone hanging there and the quality and sound are over the top, all Gibson electronics including pickups. The Epi Sheratons are high quality also.
Looks great, really nice aesthetics on that model, though I'm not a fan of abalone inlay on the headstock. Abalone just looks cheesey to me, it's basically what "cheap" guitars do all the time to make it seem like they're more expensive. Great job on everything else, though.
You should try a demonstration for IYV semi hollow body. I have one, and it's awesome! I had to work on it first, but it was worth it.
Thanks Max, You just answered a question I've been wondering about and asking for quite a while now. Which is Why and how are "full-size" Potentiometers, Better/superior to the "smaller/mini" Potentiometers? Which seems to be because of the larger radius you get a smoother or more even roll on and off of volume and or tone. (makes sense) Cool Stuff thanks Max
I'm glad it was helpful!
I have 3 Epi’s. 2 are fantastic, the 3rd may wind up under my nephews Christmas tree in December.
great job, as always! AIO? now i gotta check it out 👍
buddy can you spare a strat?
impressive.
Max, are the pots Bourns brand with other Bourns electronics???
Sounds Super!!!!
Sounds pretty good, how is the upper fret access?
Geez, based on you demo, this is epic-quality
I love the shape & look of the headstock with the cool inlays. I have the Sire 335 model ( H7 ) in white with gold hardware and it is a good looking guitar as well. The Sire is very well built and I'm happy with it, but for a few hundred dollars less money I would have bought this AIO had I known about it. I think both AIO & Sire are a better choice than the Epiphone.
"audio taper" potentiometers are made to the spec's of "Pink noise" & the human ear's perception of 3db = 2X louder. "Linear taper" potentiometers are made to the spec's of "White Noise" & handling electronics "actual" voltage 1 Volt = 0 db V.U. (previously .775 V = 0 VU). 500k ohm pot's sound better than 250k ohm pot's do for passive, low voltage signals. Summary: full size 500k Pot's with an 'Audio Taper' work best for all purposes. Original "Gibson" parts (3-way toggle switch, 2 vol, 2 tone pot's & output jack) were all made by "Switchcraft".
Guitar Max.. Are AIO’s stock pickups microphonic requiring upgrading for playing with frequent high gain?
No, they're not.
If anything, this upload is making me feel extra thankful that my present traditional arch top guitar is a professional grade Yamaha model from 1980, my birth year. After having purchased four economy models, all Epiphone, I suppose I decided that I wanted something closer to the high end but I have a much greater value than the Gibson original. I’ve had enough of playing instruments identical to the ones I had owned as a teen.
Max, How's the Westcreek 333 compared to the AIO?
Guitar sounded great!
You’re lying about Epiphone not using namebrand tuners. On the inspired by Gibson custom they have gold hardware, Ebony, fretboard, real mother of pearl and lace, and Grover tuners.

Nice guitar! Website has it having rosewood fretboard.
Wow Guitar MAX this is such an awesome Gibson/Epiphone guitar right here I love it. Shred on dude.😃👍❤️🔥⚡️🎶🎸
I'll keep an eye out for these, but my Epiphone LP Sp II is still the best I've ever played, if not the best built, or best looking. I'm cheating though. ;) Mine was setup new, by a family friend who once did a 20k custom guitar for EVH.
I have a Jackson King V, I have a Dean V, I have a Sterling, I have an Ibanez RG470, I have a Squire Mustang Vintage Modified and a few other guitars. My AIO Wolf LP is the one I grab the most to play.
Been looking for a 335-style guitar that's an Epiphone competitor for price and features. Thanks!!
I like my Wolf LP better than a standard Epiphone. People get stuck on these traditional brands, but they need to explore the alternatives. AIO over Epiphone. G&L over Fender. Heritage over Gibson.
Know a guy w a Heritage his action is so High it's Hilarious I say Nice guitar WHAT A SHAME he can't play
@@bobravenscraft5376and anyone with real common sense isn't even slightly going to believe that BS story of yours because you're lying about heritage your lying about epiphone and your lying about Gibson why? Because you can't afford either one of them that's why..
WoW I didn't know Guitar MAX could play the blues...fantastic
Thanks!
Have you checked out the EVH standard or special?
Epiphone have lost their minds with these $1200-$1500 335 styles. I played one out of curiosity: same old scratchy frets and goopy poly finish.
Crazy prices!
No epiphone hasn't epiphone is where they should have always been and they are the number 1 selling guitars today the Gibson boys and you too should have always known that someone was going to restore Epiphone back to premium brand and that happened in 2019/2020 once that happened it was over for Gibson..but this BS that epiphone prices are crazy is simply ridiculous
And thats funny I have a 2021 high end Epiphone Les Paul none of the issues your claiming oh max my Epiphone 2021 Les Paul has 5 ply binding and Grover 18.1 tunner..so I suggest you research first before you say anything about Epiphone..
@@user-qn1tw4nk1esorry I ain’t rich to buy one lmao 😂
@@user-qn1tw4nk1e lol, what bollocks. Epiphone IS Gibson...same company. Also Gibson sell way more guitars that THEIR chinese arm. Gen up mate.
AIO for the W
Yea it's out of control with these prices. I love seeing companies building the same thing for less, and they outdo them on quality of parts too. Great video Max.🤘🎸
Heck, that AIO is better crafted than the Epi too. It proves that the poor player has been getting the shaft forever.
@@jmangi6221first my 2021 epiphones are high end and you couldn't afford them and second the specs of a few 2021 epiphones have been posted here so go be stupid somewhere else that max bullsh*t guitar isn't even slightly close to the quality of Epiphones build epiphone is a high end brand..this AIO is nothing more than a cheap copy of epiphone and Gibson
I watch a UA-cam creator's review of a Firefly guitar. This thing was beautiful and sounded killer. I wonder how Firefy measures up to AIO? Firefly is another one of those guitar makers that put out quality guitars at an extremely affordable price.
From my limited experience with both, I think the extra cost of the AIO gets you a little more QC and some better hardware/electronics.
Firefly is definitely fun and worth the money, especially if you can do your own setups and know how to do minor things like pickup swaps, some fret work, etc. But if you have to pay someone to do all that, it'll end up being the same price as these AIOs anyway. And, I've noticed that the new Firefly models are definitely better done than the originals, so they're always improving.
@@alsantangelo i totally agree
My epiphone and my gibson tribute cost about the same. I wish these companies would come out with some 339s or blueshawk type things. I love the gib style but my back is ibto s type ibanez
Yep.
I like it alot
would love to see one compared to an Agile.
As another high value budget guitar, I'd be interested to see how this brand compares to Harley Benton. Any thoughts Max?
I own 3 cherry red semi hollow body guitars. I played less for all 3 combined than what I would have spent on a brand new Epiphone Sheraton Pro II.
Epiphone makes great guitars they are very comparable to Gibson so I disagree with you Max
He’s not knocking epis he’s stating that Gibson takes a no frills epi and marks them up tremendously. A custom shop epi which is not as thick or heavy as a Gibson would be almost 1,000, no special inlay, mini pots. Maybe Grover’s,
I like it. And it's going against the aging dad rock big name guitar purist.
does AIO do anything BCRICH-esk??? I'm kind of BORED with 1953 replicas
No, they have mostly traditional models. Some super-strats, but nothing extreme.
Guitar OK but hair and make up absolutely fabulous Max.
Any other colors ? Smokey gunmetal green , blue maybe ?
Yes they have a blue!
Nice guitar! Nice price!

DO they still have this Epiphone for sale, and how much? Or NOS?
I think I would have plugged in my purple phaser in there somewhere
I believe you are referring to an es 335? Or 339? Never heard of a 338...
Same price as refretting my 25 year old SG.
I've been playing the same Jackson for over 10 years now. This seems like a good excuse to chamge it up a bit 😅
I just bought an apple phone another one and I had a lot of prep problems with it back up. The phone was a halfway decent guitar. Guitar Center just is not paying attention and it seems like they really don’t care.
AIO has been having a LOT of quality control issues, that gives me pause.
Nice guitar but, it needs a Bigsby and a Varitone switch.
my only problem with most AIO guitars when i go to check them out, at least the LP's is that they have this hideous mother of pearl like binding all over the place, its not my kind of thing, just give me plain white binding, there's this lovely purple one that id love if it weren't for the hideous binding.
This looks the business and sounded very nice.
A good guitar (nothing high end) was never so affordable.
True!
Is it just me but it seems as though that this guitar has one horn rounder than the other?
I have had so many finish and playability issues with my China Epiphones (Casino, Wildkat, LP Special) that I won’t buy another. My Agile LP style, made in Korea, stomps all offer the epis and it cost $375 a few years back. Of course it is as heavy as a boat anchor…
First off epiphone Quingdoa facility is American owned and operated by Gibson Epiphone USA with American and Asian luthiers and only Epiphones are made there and 70% made by hand just like the little brother Gibson..so you might want to stop your lying
And you don't have any Epiphones from 2020 to present when they were restored so there you have it
@@FrankBuyers...guitarista-iu3zg you raise irrelevant points. The Epiphones I owned were trash and deserved to be given away, as I did. Now I am happy with my Indonesian made Yamaha and PRS, which at the price point are far superior to anything I saw in a China made Epiphone. And of course there is the whole China thing. I won’t give them any more money than I can possibly help. With so many excellent non-China options there is no need to send money their way for guitars or guitar equipment, even Epiphones! My ‘61 Sorrento is an excellent guitar. No finish issues, players like butter. Also, made in Indonesia. So yeah, a combination have having been burned too many times by Chinese made guitars, with the general dislike for their industrial espionage and other practices means I will never again buy a Chinese guitar.
@@ghalston5641 you haven't owned epiphone since they were returned to premium brand in 2019/2020 so my post is very relevant Max was cought lying welcome to 2024 where people are researching on their computers Self opinionated BS and lying doesn't cut it..Max should have never said what he said to say that cheap guitar is better than epiphone a high end brand once again was stupidity on his part period
@@ghalston5641 here I'll remind you again epiphone Quingdoa facility is completely American owned and operated by Gibson Epiphone USA with American and Asian luthiers and only Epiphones are made there also Epiphones are made 70% by hand just like the little brother Gibson..you have zero argument buddy Max has now zero credibility how many more times has he lied..
While I love brands like AIO and Sire, I don’t want to hype them up that much so their prices won’t go to Epiphone prices.
Good point!
