    I just did a full setup on a “inspired by Gibson” Epiphone 335. Folks, don’t waste your money, save up for the real thing. Good video Dave.

      Sorry to disagree, I've had a few 335s over the years... A '62, a '68, great guitars, and the LAST one a Nashville custom 2006 335 in sparkle cherry red...
      It's a dog... binding is very very bad (red spray paint on it and it has shrunken) neck joint very sloppy . Frets on the bound neck have been cut/filed too short so the two E strings fall of the side (sounds like a sitar) had to change the nut but still no joy. '59 classic PAFs sound muddy and uninspiring.
      I can hear y'all saying "it's a fake"... But it's not, 100% sure of that. I also have a Chinese made blonde Epiphone Sorrento, think Gibson 135 (1 of only 850 made, ordered new via the net) which plays like a dream, Gibson mini humbuckers, beautiful finish, light as a feather with hard case... a really lovely guit.
      The 2nd hand 335 cost €1800 15 years ago.
      The brand new Epi was €800 10 years back.
      So I'm seriously considering an Epi 335 with some Seymour Antiquitie PAFs or something similar.
      The Gibson is SO bad I'd be uncomfortable selling it. 🥵

    We used to have an 18 inch barbers strap at the house, thanks uncle Ken, I heard tons of horror stories from my buddies at the Catholic School. Our PT days were always different so when we had one I'd go to St. Mary's and play with my buddies during recess and then torture the vice principle as he chased me around yelling at me to get back to class😁

      Yup - I had an Epiphone Dot 335 but only played it occasionally, so got a Harley Benton 335 copy secondhand and sold the Epiphone. It's still 20 times better than that Chibson and for £100/$110 without any danger of some poor schmuck buying it after I die thinking it's a real Gibson. Don't like the fake headstock nonsense. Only people who even care are other guitarists anyway lol. Nothing wrong with guitars from China as long as they don't pretend to be Gibson or Fender :)

  • @kj6qvb

    This has to be about the worst example, or should I say the BEST example, of how NOT to do a setup! There are at least half a dozen things being done wrong; however, I'll just point out a couple 1.When tuning the guitar, he starts with the high E string. WRONG! One should start with the low E string, as it puts the most tension on the neck of all the strings, and will pull that neck/truss rod forward more than any of the other strings, changing the relief the MOST. If one starts with the high E, it has the least amount of tension on the neck/truss rod, and will change the relief the LEAST. By the time one gets to the low E, that'll pull the neck into more relief and throw out the tuning of the rest of the strings. 2. A two-way truss rod does NOT work the same in both directions "Righty is tighty and lefty is also tighty" - WRONG. That's not how a two-way truss rod works. Y'all can Google this one for yourselves. Single-action truss rods only pull the neck in one direction - back AGAINST the pull of the strings. Two-way truss rods can pull against the strings (backbow) AND push the neck towards the strings (front bow) for those rare necks that may need that. No WONDER the truss rod "didn't magically set itself" and "nothing played". Hey, at least it worked when it came into your den or horrors, right? 3. He constantly derides the customer for owning a "Chibson" - NOT good customer service. And not a good way to retain existing customers, or obtain new ones. Who wants to be talked about that way? 4. Final adjustments should be done in the playing position, NOT with the neck resting on a block. That just throws everything off. 5. Finally, we saw the neck taped for fret leveling and crowning, but we didn't actually see the process. I kinda wish we had, as I'm sure I could find at least a couple more errors to critique. I wouldn't let this guy near ANY of my guitars - not even my Chibson! Don't be like this guy. No WONDER he hides his face!

    For the money spent on all those Chibsons, the owner could have purchased a few actual Gibson "DEMO" USA and/or Custom Shop guitars from the Reverb Gibson store. Real Gibsons. Better investment all the way around.
