    About us:
    “Birth”
    Music Bliss came about in June of 2009, residing in a humble shop lot catering to music lessons and sales of instruments. As humble as it was, Music Bliss quickly grew to expand its range of products at a point in time where boutique products such as guitar effects pedals were on the rise.
    “Bliss”
    As the name implies, Music Bliss truly aims to consistently provide excitement with our choice of products. It didn’t take long for people and musicians to notice that, and thanks to the age of the Internet people began frequenting both our site and our physical store at a quick pace.
    “Insistence”
    We’re people pleasers, we don’t settle for less and we don’t do this just because “It’s Our Job”. Music Bliss has always insisted to recommend and obtain products that the people want. That is exactly how the store grew; from obtaining rare and boutique effects pedals for musicians to catering to pro audio systems for international schools and event companies.
    “Rise”
    Fast forward to 2019, Music Bliss has expanded to a Mega Showroom (Located in Petaling Utama, amidst of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, nearby Sunway and easily accessible through Old Klang Road as well as Puchong) with 3 separate floors for every product category. Because of the support of our loyal customers, Music Bliss now proudly has everything you’ll need: Guitars, Amps, Keyboards, Drums, Digital Pianos Studio Recording Equipment, Live Sound Equipment, Jamming Studios and an assortment of accessories to compliment your instruments and equipment.

    The Epiphones are indeed legitimate Les Pauls...
    Gibson has done a great job at raising the upper end Epiphone to be about as good as anything.
    If you love a Les Paul Standard...This guitar is tangibly the real deal and certainly does the job.

    It's barely visible, but i think i noticed a scarfjoint which makes it better than any Gibson because they're always an accident waiting to happen. Ask any luthier, a scarfjoint is much stronger and more reliable.

    I own both and no not better but just as good and the epiphone will outlast the Gibson because of the better poly finish so in 20 years when that Gibson paint is all sticky and rolling under your hand in little dingle berries and the wood is swollen from the damp air getting through the finish the Epiphone will be perfect

    I have a friend with a $15,000 bicycle that he doesn’t ride I have a friend with a $27,000 motorcycle that he doesn’t ride i have a friend with a Custom Shop Les Paul $5,800 but he can’t even play a chord I can afford a Gibson but honestly I don’t believe they are worth $3,299 I don’t care if the Epiphone has a different finish or different pickups sitting in my living room the Epiphone works fine for me 😐 I know some people think they know better and they think if you don’t play a Gibson you are stupid but I believe the opposite 😎

  • @jasondemers4389
    @jasondemers4389 3 місяці тому +1

    Most Epiphones are junk. There are exceptions but the electronics, hardware and wood are very subpar to Gibson USA. There is a great YT video showing what kind of wood they actually use. Alot of times they claim Mahogany but its actually not. Chinese electronics are junk.

    • @jvstrat1
      @jvstrat1 3 місяці тому +7

      I used to feel the same way, but they have stepped up their game. A lot of the new ones have cts pots and orange drop capacitors now. Thats the case on my Firebird, LP junior, and 335 that I’ve bought recently. I have Gibsons, PRS, and Fenders, and still feel they are great guitars.

      The lower priced ones probably are but the stuff around the $500 range and up is great for the price. I'm not even that great of a guitar player and I get really impressive tones out of this exact guitar sure I had it setup but it holds tuning very well.

      All of the Inspired by Gibson and Inspired by the Custom Shop have USA electronics. I got rid of my shitty Gibson Les Paul 2006ish model after I got the inspired Epiphone. I also have the Firebird and it rocks. Can a professional player tell the difference, probably but not many professional full time musicians hanging out on these pages. When I see the most recorded guitarist in Nashville, Brent Mason, bring his Epiphone Slash Les Paul to the studio and use it on tracks, that says enough. Some of you guys are so worried about the name on the headstock and will go to great lengths to justify buying a $2K more expensive guitar so you can take it to your once a month gig down at the pizza place. No one cares what you’re playing as long as it sounds good. Lots of touring musicians these days are playing import Fenders, PRS and other guitars but hey, what do they know? Good grief.

  • @thegrandpencil4374

    Is a Chinese guitar with a thick plastic finish, cheaper pickups, cheaper parts, mystery wood (hint, it's not the same as what Gibson uses) better than a real Gibson made in Nashville? No. Just no. You can like it. That's fine with me. But the clickbait nonsense... sigh.

    Yeah well I had the Gibson version, and it SUCKED. Gibson's quality control has gone to Hell. Ad to that Gibson DID NOT make their version historically correct. A real 50's Goldtop HAS A LONG NECK TENON. The Gibby does NOT, the EPI DOES!
    Being made in Nashville means nothing to me these days, the Epi sounfs just fine through my Plexi.
