Let me answer it for you, it’s because most people can’t afford Gibson…
My first guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul. I put some Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucker in it. When the guitar tech gave it back to me he said, "this sounds better than any Gibson in here. It just never stayed in tune lol
1) people cant afford gibsons
Great video! Just saw you in the latest Sweetwater catalog, nice job!
I work at Gibson. I thought your video was spot on. Not everyone needs a Gibson level guitar… Epiphone is made more consistent today than ever before. A historical fact that a lot of people forget is Epiphone was much more successful in the golden era (50’s and 60’s) than Gibson. The reason Gibson acquired Epiphone is because they were killing Gibson’s sales of L-4, Super 400’s, and yes… Les Pauls. They were leading the market in stand up bass and a huge threat to Fender and Gibson because of the Beatles.
Love my casino. Btw, it’s not a semi hollow, it’s fully hollow.
Jack White playing a $100 Airline? Where can I get one of THOSE!
i started out with the epiphone les paul special ii back in 2013 (now the E-1 special ii). after going thru a few s and t-types throughout the years and retiring the les paul, i came back full circle and got the sg special with p-90s in pelham blue.
Great episode man. I’m in my 40’s. My Time Machine trip would be to go back in time and play the Squire strat my mom bought me when I was 13 that I played everyday, at every band “gig” my friends and I had until I was 19 and bought a USA fender strat and put the squire under my bed. Flash forward, mid 30s my mom died and helping my dad clean out the house I found the squire in my old closet. I took it home and played that guitar every day until my apartment got broken into and it got stolen. It’s not the brand, it’s the time of life that guitar was there for you.
Epiphone signature models are some of the best guitars I’ve played. Love my Emily Wolfe Sheraton
Don't know anything about Epiphones but I love your channel. You are one of the most thoughtful and articulate guitar reviewers on UA-cam. I love how you address all the nagging gear questions and biases that so many of us have struggled with. Thank you and please keep up the great work.
The Beatles' Casinos were made in Kalamazoo, the old Gibson factory, but you're right - there is no Gibson Casino, only the equivalent hollowbody 330. When it comes to the name on the headstock, I'm afraid I have to plead guilty when it comes to single coils: I always buy Fender, never Squier. But in the case of humbuckers, I own an Epiphone Les Paul that I have heavily modded, and, weirdly, I am not interested in ever upgrading to a Gibson. I also own a Casino, and because it resonates so well unplugged, I pick it up more than any of my other guitars. Hope you enjoy yours.
I've had my cherry red Epiphone dot since 2009. My first electric guitar. Still playing it.
Playing Get Back on a Casino is as good as it gets
Great content. These videos are really fun and relaxing to watch. Thank you!!
I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro my Sophomore year in HS. I never felt self conscious about gigging it because it was my dream guitar in a more affordable format and played every bit as good as I would have liked it. The only time I felt hesitant to mention it was when I would talk to other guitar players who had a lot nicer set ups and were more talented than me. Almost a decade later, I have recently bought my first Gibson, but it was more for the sentimental value of finally buying a dream guitar rather than having anything lacking with my Epiphone Les Paul. I'm so thankful for the Epiphone option as it was the perfect guitar for where I was in life and what I could afford. I really don't see anything wrong with playing an Epiphone at any level as they are made so well and really have the characteristics of everything you may want in a guitar. Thought I'd share, I still have my Epiphone and I never plan on selling it.
I've been playing guitar since I started checking out my older brother's Gibson ES125 when i was about 12. When I was in my twenties I worked at a music store and bought a 1967 Gibson ES330 Cherry red. It's sitting right beside me. My newest guitar is an Epiphone SG, also red. Love them both. The shorter scale length works with my small hands. I find with Strat style guitars that extra 3/4" makes a huge difference. I'm 69 now and still playing guitar regularly.
I have that same guitar. It's definitely a weapon. I love that you can also play it acoustically because it's hollow.
Nice work with the upgraded production. You’re building a really nice channel here, Mike.
My first electrical guitar was a Special II model.Tons of fun. Full black one, really loved that one!
