Guitar Center has a demo section, it's called "Guitar Center."
Worse yet is Musician's Friend who once sent me an acoustic from their "open box" offering that had an extra hole in the spruce top, that had not been disclosed.
I still like my local Guitar Center, though because I live a long way from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Yea , good comment on guitar center, iv bought a few there. Got to be careful.
The only guitar I've ever bought from guitar center I ordered a limited run of a special color of classic vibe mustang and it came pretty much straight from Fender and was unopened. And yeah I think most cases I'd hope that the stores would open them and check them before selling them to me, but in the case of guitar center? It's pretty much the opposite which is just kind of sad
😂
It's more like like they have a "new section" as my first guitar a Jackson JS22 I got from the back and unboxed from the box that Guitar center got from fender... How? A staff member just spoke up and said they had one or two in the back and then spent a hour looking for it... The guitar is perfect by the way too as it should be.
What a cool Epiphone! People will probably jump all over me, but I typically don’t think of “fun” or “quirky” when I think of Gibson/Epiphone. This thing has a surfy Fender vibe. Congrats!
To me it has a 60s Japanese vibe.🤔😉
@@keithhampton9700
I think you nailed it. Definitely a quirky yet desirable vibe.
Greatly reminds me of the axe wielded by the recently departed Wayne Kramer of the MC5!!
I don't get the fun vibe from most Gibson/Epi shapes other than the Firebird and some of the less common shapes like the Crestwood. It definitely kind of has that Fender or old Japanese vibe
5:13 That specific crack is known as “Buyer’s Remorse” … someone manufactured a reason to return the guitar.
That's what I suspect. Which is fine, thats why retailers have return policies. Open box discount I guess.
@@60CycleHumcast If you look closely... there seems to be a small crack on the black paint on the side of tge headstock near the nut. At least, on the video, it appears to be.
@@AlexSilva1976just don’t look closely, problem solved. I hate when people are picky. The demo section is meant to be non flawless
I mean I pretty sure it's your right in the US to return something if you don't like it in 90 days like it's your right that you have a 1 year limited warranty. But yeah that crack wasn't the reason for the return 100%.
Freakin’ incredible orange color there. And the shape of it! Love it!
I'm with you on the color, pickup, and headstock. Often when you see a 6 in-line headstock that isn't Fender, it doesn't look right....but that looks better than most.
I've bought a number of things from Sweetwater on demo, from cheaper stuff like guitar pedals to more expensive like a PRS 10-top and always had a great experience. I would highly recommend people checking the deals out.
I bought one of these MEGA discounted from Anderson’s with no case. Absolute timeless classic! Couldn’t care less that it is and Epiphone, or that it’s made in China. Completely original guitar that is a keeper for my collection!
It's a cool guitar for sure, I love that headstock.
Damn you! I had my eye on that and within seconds it was sold! 😂
I was also a teenager in the 90s!
This guitar really cool. The minibuckers, the paint color, the vintage knobs and batwing headstock.
Thanks for sharing your new guitar. Sounds and looks great!
Love it! Congrats, man! Sounds great!
Congrats Ryan, she's a beauty! I've had a '62 re-issue Crestwood for about 10 years and love it, those mini-buckers are so awesome. The Surf will always be up with your new Epi!🏄♂🏄♂👍👍
Scrach and dent guitars are awsome. Got a strat for 250 off for a little crack in the paint on the side. It's my workhorse guitar so I don't feel bad when something happens
Great review. That guitar is special. The neck pickup with reverb is so sweet. Nice acquisition. Great playing.
So cool! and now I am so jealous!!! Enjoy in good health and use it often for the videos please!
Love it. The inlays and the bound neck are 🔥
Congrats!
That is a beautiful guitar! I love the design!
Wowza dude... Love that orange and the batwing headstock rocks
Such a great sounding guitar!!
Great Guitar! Great Demo! Great Share :) Thank you.
That looks so unique and fun!
Your Gearfest review and the California Coral, made me get one (one of the last ones over here). And it’s fantastic.
Sounds amazing.
Corking guitar! That bridge is especially intriguing. Really been enjoying your jamming lately, too.
Love the way that guitar made you play. You sound awesome on it.
Asymmetrical body with MiniHumbuckers & the Batwing headstock is my dream guitar! Schwiing!
Get out of my dreams!
I have one. I was playing it yesterday. The Gibson mini-hums sound great, IMO. SW had to send me 3 before I got one that FedEx didn't damage in shipping. One had a big neck break, the 2nd had a tiny crack in the finish extending from the corner of the nut on the bass side. The 3rd one arrived in pristine condition, even though the box had more damage than the previous 2. Very cool guitar! I've purchased several demo guitars from SW. Every one has been excellent. One had "scratches" on a pup cover that was actually only on the protective plastic over the pup. Another has a scratch so minute that I can barely find it. All were discounted significantly.
I played one once. They are cool and the wooden tailpieced-trem is classy and a refreshing look too. Mini hums, come on, they're rad and the capsule inlays. Totally a rad guitar. Killer color too Ryan. Nice taste. Congrats on the new git.
For a second there I was excited about a possible Lockpicking Lawyer x 60's Cycle Hum crossover
That's a keeper!
Like it man, looks fantastic, iv had my eye on an epiphone firebird.
I feel that way about my vintage DuoSonic too. It’s amazing how familiar it feels.
I got one of these based on your demo & the fact that a friend had an original 60s model that was magical (his was pellam blue that looked green). I loved it right away but didn't like the bridge pickup volume so far back, so I moved it behind the neck volume with both tones in the back (I don't move the tone knobs that much). I also made a new pickguard in black since the headstock is black & polished the frets a little. Now it is my number one - my wife even likes it!
That guitar looks rad as heck, never seen an Epiphone that shape before, love the knobs
The color goes perfect with your aesthetic
I bought a demo MIM Fender Strat in candy apple from Sweetwater 10 years ago for $300. Had the slightest nick on it that I could find with my thumbnail but wasn't particularly visible. I've put a lot more scratches on it since. Will always be my special find! Everything is vintage setup. I modified the wiring to make it modern but otherwise I've kept it stock. Plays perfect, stays in tune even with heavy trem use!
My great aunt has a Red Epiphone Wilshire reissue with the bat wing headatock. I almost bought it off her but I had just bought my Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Maybe one day!
I love seeing people bond with a guitar. So many videos of gear reviewers just kind of going through the motions. Fun seeing someone really connect and make music with it!
That is one cool guitar! I'll have to check their used section out now that it's been around for a minute :)
I had the Wilshire from about 10-15 years ago with that vibrato (honestly it looked like that but in transparent black, and dot inlays)… I couldn’t get it to stay in tune, which was sad because I was thinking about that one since it came out and I just couldn’t afford it for the longest time.
The RAREST Crestwood is the one with triple-pickups. They never reissued that one, so it’s only sold in the vintage market.
I have one, the same model, same color, ordered as soon as it was available online, fantastic! 🙂
I love so many things about this guitar, just so classy looking.
I got one of these from the Gibson garage when I was visiting Nashville in the fall. This is not at all what I’d be expecting to be vibing with but I couldn’t put it down - so much fun to play, the neck is way slimmer and flatter than any Gibson or epi ive found - very comfortable, and oh the sound! Like a Firebird but with more surf, more twang. Such a rad instrument!
I just bought this guitar a couple weeks ago!! Couldn’t stop thinking about it from your first video 😅
The tremolo just sounds incredible 😮
that guitar sounds awesome
I freaking love that thing. I want one
Love that neck pickup.
I've had mine a few months. Really fun guitar, no question, feels like a workhorse, and there is a certain brightness from the minis. Also ran it through a True Spring and played Surf Rider! Great vid.
That is awesome sound and looks
I have the previous version of this guitar, the Epiphone Crestwood Pro, and I love it! It’s one of my go to guitars!
Glad you got something you wanted.
Cool axe and a wonderful color!
I’ve always loved the Wilshire family, and that orange finish is gorgeous. One of the more fun types of odd scale guitars for any player but especially if you have bigger hands.
A very specific sound. :)
I bought this guitar a few months ago. It’s amazing. It has replaced my Strat. It feels a lot like my SG, but it doesn’t sound like an SG. Still, an incredible guitar, and I get some of the Neil Young sounds that I love.
Nice score! I picked up a Player Plus Telecaster a few months back that was listed as blemished. Saw the photos and figured I could live with the flaws. When I got the guitar, there was nothing wrong with it. The person that sent it back had left the plastic on from the Fender factory. That was the "blemishes."
Great video glad your havin fun with this find. I have a similar model in white sold to me many years ago as a Wilshire, the headstock reverse says 'custom shop', it has 2 full humbuckers, a non trem hardtail and has 'push pull' on the pots. Great range of sounds. I keep it tuned to 'open C' for Devin Townsend type stuff. For £250 UK couldn't be happier. Brilliant guitar. A keeper !
Need to name that one Cali Sunrise. Good find Ryan, enjoy! Sounds great!
I’ve got a Riviera with minis, they sound awesome. First guitar I bought where I didn’t change the stock pickups.
I’ve gotten a ton of demo stuff from Sweetwater and only had an issue with one item that wasn’t working right. They took care of it immediately
That like 16 minutes in jam reminds me of Kings of Leon! Love it!
I own a 2009 Epiphone WIlshire reissue. Same body style, same headstock, no trem, and full size humbuckers. The stock pups were kind of muddy, but I put in a set of Duncan 59's....and the guitar SCREAMS now!!
The guitar is awesome but that loop track you did, was amazing!
Yes indeed!
Sweetwater is so generous with candy that they still give it to me even though my file has included "NO CANDY" for a decade.
I bought one after seeing the first video. Loving it. I had to swap out the bridge - that wire that holds the screws down was rattling and driving me nuts. Put a roller bridge on it and it works great. The pickups are sweet. Good for that surfy thing.
very cool guitar......another trophy to hang up!
Congrats. Great guitar. Obviously fun to play and easy on the back.
A guy sold me this beautiful lime green Wilshire reissue without any pickups or electronics, so I did it MY way. I love the Wilshire/Coronet/Crestwood body shape (I own a '64 Coronet as well), but I hate the electronics. So I cut a new pickguard, did the wiring my way, and installed a pair of Duncan P-Rails. The volume and tone are master, situated where I like them, and the Tele-style pickup selector works well. The two toggles you see select the three possibilities for each of the P-Rails. With both pickups on, I have 9 possible tonal variations. I wired the tone control as "bidirectional" as per Craig Anderton's suggestion from the early '80s. IT gives a different rolloff in each direction.
The P-Rails are installed in a way some might call backwards. Most folks install them with the blade coils on "the inside" and P90 coils on the outside. But one of the annoying quirks of short-scale set-neck guitars joined to the body way up is that there needs to be room between the end of the fingerboard and the neck pickup for the neck tenon (as on your Crestwood too). That squishes the two pickups closer together, reducing the tonal contrast between neck and bridge. I installed my pickups such that the blade sections were as far apart from each other as the guitar allows, making the pickup change from neck to bridge (and vice versa) the sort of tonal contrast a Tele or Strat player is used to. The use of mini-buckers on the Crestwood improves that "squished together" element.
Does this mean we're now Crestwood brothers! :D
I so want this in white with 3 pickups......
They made 3-pickup models in the ‘60s… but they’ve never reissued them. The vintage ones are pricey because they’re rare now.
When you were talking about the mini humbuckers I was hoping you were gonna say, "no hum, ALL BUCK, BABY!" 😂
Those always catch my eye… very unique. Something out of a 1950s Sears catalog. But that one looks nice.. sounds good. Thanks for the demo.
I had one back the first time they reissued them many years ago (same mini humbucker type pickups). I currently have the Coronet with a p90. Better for my style. Great quality and sound!
GET WELL SOON MY PRINCE ;_;
i feel like even if i had 0 interest in this guitar just watching Ryan so joyous over the instrument is so wholesome. It sounds beautiful, agreed with the minibuckers!
yo that little jam slaps
I've seen many retailers selling demo or B stock guitars. I bought a couple and saved a bundle on 2 Hagstrom guitars; a Swede and an HL550 jazzbox. No issues to be found on them... I think they were probably just overstocked. Your Epiphone's "crack" seems to be nonexistent! I dig the mini-humbuckers. They've always been a favourite of mine. Nice to have a lightweight guitar too. Anyhow, I always check out the B stock guitars when buying a new guitar.
It's a beauty, gives me Dano/Fender/Teisco vibes. A really sweet addition to your jam family. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Nothing will ever match the tonal characteristics and hand crafted quality of that one yellow guitar with the middle finger inlays 👌
Sweetwater has some nice deals on their demo offerings.
I bought my Danelectro '59 with a beautiful Blue Metalflake finish for some pretty good savings.
Just like this one I could barely make out the blemish, even with a magnifying glass.
My very first bass, bought in a pawn shop in 1975, was an Epiphone Newport. Same shape, same headstock.
That is a beauty! Want!!!
I love it VERY much!!!
A "red tube" is a phenomenon that happens sometimes due to age on a electronic tube . . you got to change tubes once ina while on a tube Amp .. . they are not eternal . . depending on usage hours . . don´t have the exact hours info .. .I suppose those are 6V6 Valves. A great sounding tube. I actually like most of your videos . .
A Red Tube seems to mean something diffeent when I google it.
This gap between body and pickup actually looks pretty cool from far, looks like it got to be there
Congrats , I prefer 6 in a row tuners . Cool guitar I like how it sounds reminds me of hot single coil spank without the noise. Literally said exactly what I typed as I was hitting send. Lil hb warmth though going on too.
I had a look at various vintage Crestwoods online and they also appear to have a similar gap below the neck pickup ring.
I’ve only seen one of these in my life. It was booger green. I wanted that guitar so bad. I’ll have to check into these new ones.
That's a beast
i love that guitar, i hope they release it in a normal series
New to the channel, but I noticed the emphasis on surf rock and wondered if you've done anything on DiPinto. I've been playing a Mach IV bass, and my guitarist loves his Galaxie 4. We've been playing for 20 years and still get asked about our guitars.
I bought a b-stock Gretsch Electromatic and the normal model was discounted from 900 euros to 460 euros. The B-stock model made it a 406 euro guitar. It came with additional not mentioned scratches (And they were not visible on the photo's provided with the listing). So they refunded another 60 euro. So now I own a Scratch Electromatic for 346 euro. I love that guitar...
Glad for you Ryan , your review of the Westcreek Racer caused me to buy it and I’m as stoked over it , I got lucky the pickups are one of those once in a lifetime occurrence,perfect tone ,the neck is perfect only adjustment half turn up on bottom of bridge
The colors totally match
is that a stella harmony in the background? i see it all the time and it'd be pretty cool if it was the kurt guitar, atleast a 6 string version ir something since it has 6 strings it looks like.
also that tone is nice!
Nice guitar 🎸
The trem on my Crestwood is my favorite feature. It doesn't sound like other trems.
IMO, that's the guitar that you were born to play! A perfect fit! 🙂
my son just got the white epiphone Crestwood '62. it's a surprisingly nice guitar!
I used to have a cherry red, 60's Crestwood Deluxe. It was built like a Gibson Custom model with ebony fretboard and bound headstock. It was quite fancy - it even had fretless wonder filed frets and 3 mini-humbuckers. I took off the tremolo and replaced it with a stop tailpiece. It was a wonderful sounding guitar but the neck was so thin as to be uncomfortable for my fat fingers. I later sold it to a guy in Italy. Those Italians were into Crestwoods. I wish I had kept those wonderful mini-humbuckers.
I later bought a new Crestwood. I think it was made in Korea. It doesn't have the tremolo or the fancy stuff but it did have the batwing head, 2 mini-humbuckers, and the same construction. It has a big, chunky, neck and cost around 200 bucks. It's a wonderful guitar.
I briefly had a Crestwood Custom with that tailpiece - some fretboard oil will darken that wood up and it looks much better
That compensated string bar is interesting - a really elegant solution to keeping strings in tune, and now I'm wondering why Bigsby doesn't do the same. I did not expect something so novel from Epiphone/Gibson.
Looking online for Epiphone Crestwood see some called Custom models. Different 3-3 headstock. P/ups are PRO Mini Humbucker, selling new ~ $600. Knob layout is different, color white or red with weird white design under strings between pickups seen on red one.
Totally matches the 50/50 pedal
