So I have the IG LP Custom, ES335, as well as the ‘59 LP with Burstbuckers. I also just picked up the new IGC ‘59 LP and the Ebony 355. I love both lineups. The is real value with everything you get with the IGC guitars. But at the same time, you can’t go wrong with with either series. I love that Gibson is expanding Epiphone into a more premium brand that also still makes the entry level instruments.
Best video to date! Loved the clarifying of not only the IBG vs IGC differences, but with sound/playing demos of each of the models,! Awesome!! Love the proactive reminder of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the modders who'd rather buy cheap and upgrade themselves. Love that now there are options for those of us who just want buy and play on day one. I became a Gibson snob about 5 years ago and sold all my Epiphones for fewer but higher end Gibson Custom Shop models. But I tell you what... I will definitely be picking up 1 or 2 of these IGCs for sure!! Even at $1500, It's a no brainer given that Gibson Custombucker pickups cost (pretax) $500+ just by themselves, plus another $50 to $150 give or take for a hard shell case. Sold!! Good call Gibson to go "all in" on Epiphone! I love that business decision, especially since there are still lower cost models available for those who want a less expensive guitar.
Thanks for watching! Glad you appreciated the video
The one gripe I currently have with Epiphones is the cut of the nut. I bought an Epiphone Crestwood 150th recently, but the nut had a harsh right angle on it so it cut my hand whilst playing at the first fret. Given modern CNC technology, surely this is just a flick of a switch so that all nuts are now rounded over? I think the specs are amazing on these guitars, but they should ALSO be comfortable to play. (I know I could have just taken a file to the nut, but I’m a player, not a modder/tinkerer, and for the money I shouldn’t have to mod a guitar).
Very well demonstrated, that Banner J45 sounds impressive! ❤
Can’t believe how good the acoustics sound 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I recently grabbed an IGC J-200. It’s incredibly impressive and sounds and plays the business. Considering the Gibson equivalent is $6k, I think it’s a no brainer
Not much of a difference I have 2021 high end Epiphones I would never trade or sell for any Gibson Epiphone rules once again
Recently got the triple pickup 1963 Les Paul SG custom - very impressed. What I really want next is the 1963 Firebird V BUT in heather poly - need that 2 pickup vibrola configuration in that colour!
Looking forward to the Epiphone inspired by Gibson Custom inspired by Epiphone Custom Kramers, inspired by Gibson.
Hate the flat finishes, and I especially hate the laurel fretboards.
It feels exactly the same as Rosewood...
Not a thing. I have two Epis with laurel boards, and they feel the same as my Gibsons with rosewood.
@@markfry5796 exactly it is really in their heads
i have a Epi 2024 LP Custom Alpine IGC does it have mild weight relief?
i also got a Epi Greeny thanks GGG
I can’t wait for the LP Custom 54/55 with staple P90s, that would be a blast!
OMG... YES please!!
Epiphone have already released about 7 years ago the "Epiphone Les Paul Custom Inspired By 1955 Limited Edition Outfit" in Ebony.
Mahogany body and top, 1950's Rounded C neck, Ebony fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, Gibson P90 Soapbar pickups, Gold hardware and vintage case. Mine's at home with me as I write. Truly magnificent sound and looks.
@@ianmacauley4996 it did but not with staple p90…
@@ianmacauley4996 Thanks, I knew that, even owned one for about a year. 1. Wasn't Gibson STAPLE pickup (was Epi Soapbar). 2. Wasn't Switchcraft pots/components. 3. Wasn't new Gibson open book headstock, etc., etc. I wasn't crazy about the dull finish either. For the price, the case was nice though. I loved the pink interior. I'd love an enhanced version with the upgraded components and Gibson STAPLE pickup.
Still Indian Laurel on the Epi's. Fender Player series will be offering rosewood shortly. Though the ebony on the Custom Epi's is spot on!
Nice! Nice playing too on the acoustics. I have IBG Hummingbird.
Hoping Epi makes a IBG Ej-160.
Dude can play and show a guitar👍 Still got my 26 year old Epi😜
So this is a statement (excuse) on why the prices skyrocketed for epiphones? I would actually like an A/B comparison between the steps to build an Epiphone (Customshop) and an Epiphone (USA).
Inspired by Gibson custom guitars are nicer. I really like them and am buying at least one. I freaking love like four of them , the 59 , the custom , the 355 , 58 Korina explorer and V , that’s five but I can’t help it. I love these things , lol.
I know right!
I have a Gibson LP and a Es 335…. I can’t see myself spending 15k on a Gibson Custom Es355 and the LP custom from Gibson. But I can see myself ordering this 355 and that custom for $2,600… with my setup skills I can make those baby’s play great. And I love those new headstocks!!!!!!! Great move guys!!! Awesome!!!!!!
And yes. The Gibson 355 custom is $8,500. And the LP custom is about $6,000….. I love Gibson… always have. But I’m really digging this epiphone revamp…. Enough for me to be able to own quality iconic replicas of my favorite models at a great price point. Some may say they are still too expensive.. but those pups are 600 dollars from Gibson alone. And ebony boards and MOP inlays and that headstock with cts pots and Mallory caps???? Guys… this is an absolute value… probably the best they’ve had to offer
My 355 is on order from Sweetwater in Cherry 🎉🎉🎉
Impressed by the hair spray!
I have the new '59 with Custombuckers and an Adam Jones (Art) LP Custom. They are two entirely different guitars, but I wouldn't part with either one.
I’m pretty impressed with what Epiphone is doing. However, I’m still seeing the dreaded high frets from the 12th up which is an expensive repair whether you have it done or invest in the tools and time to do it yourself. I haven’t seen the hump at the neck/body joint on the ES models yet but my experience is that it’s a matter of time. Please tell me these issues are being addressed. They are unacceptable at the new price points imho.
I am a believer! They are wonderful, well made guitars! 🤘🏼
Rock on!
You can have one made with the same wood, paint. hardware, electronics, etc for less. It would be unbranded but of same quality.
No brainer.
I miss the days of when Epiphone was made in Korea, and had Rosewood boards, or Ebony
The IG Firebird is a bargain of a guitar!
It blew my mind to hear him say that mini humbuckers come on the Firebird. You would think that somebody at Gibson would have told him that they are actually humbuckers, not mini humbuckers. They are totally different from the mini humbuckers on the Les Paul Deluxe. Firebird pickups are entirely unique. Their sound is as different as night and day from a regular Gibson mini humbucker. I think that he should have clarified this because it is important.
Dude relax...they are essentially do the same thing..buck the hum. One have rails the other poles pieces. Can't believe you do know that.
@@HALWASRIGHT Yeah, I know that. I have a Murphy Lab Firebird!
@@HALWASRIGHT Essentially the same thing - and the same things - are two different things entirely. Details matter!!!
@@Walks-With-Prideuhhh, ok, what a weird response. Cool...I guess.
@@Walks-With-PrideSay what now? I'm not following what you're trying to say here. But you're putting way too much stock into the word "mini humbucker".
PS I own 3 Gibson FBs.
Later Gator!
Epiphone and Gibson inspired...by the size of your wallet
I'd say things for things like a nut, bridge, and tail piece those can get worn out and rusted over time. They're pretty vital to a guitar so understanding the materials and replacing them with fresher materials should be encouraged.
The drastic price raises have inspired me to purchase Chibsons!
Should stick to the starter pack. Prob more in your wheelhouse.
The drastic price raises on houses has inspired me to squat.
"Should should?" What's a "prob?"@@HALWASRIGHT
Used prices are still totally attainable.
@@TSB-pg6yoWhat's your Chibson of choice?
I really like them bringing the openbook headstock but it's made in China...just buy a MIJ epiphone it's waaaay better and has a open book headstock
Why did the price of Epiphones increase? Is it because of the headstock?
Not just the headstock my guy, but whatever. Don't worry they still sell the lower priced stuff for you...this is just a higher tier for their imports.
LOVE the sound of that falcon amp, come on Gibson, throw some Australia's way!!!!
The message here is: buy a Gibson.
😂😂😂😂Not a chance no one wants Gibson
The message is you don't have to!
The message is actually, but the more affordable Epiphone with Gibson features
Uh no😂😂😂😂
Will never buy a "made in china" guitar
Epiphones are a toss up if you go cheap you get what you pay for. If you pay a little more money for a premium Epiphone guitar, you get it and your like I should’ve paid more for the Gibson version 😂 😂😂😂😂😂
Who wants Gibson since JC Curliegh Restored Epiphone almost 5 years ago no one and Gibson sales are proving that epiphone rules again
Not even close to true, but that is ok!! To each their own!!
