    Damn, even as the owner of two Gibsons... These are tempting. I've owned three epiphones in the past and currently only own one, they're good guitars - but these look like a cut above! So happy to see Gibson expanding more into the medium-grade professional ranges I'd hoped they would. Regardless of the name on the headstock what you're looking at is Gibsons direct equivalent to Fenders Mexican range, now that the update has occurred, I'd say.

    I will start by saying that I like the New Epiphone headstock.
    But I like the previous one too.
    As far as the "open book" moniker used so much,...The previous Epiphone headstock resembles an "open book" even more because the clipped ear creates the silhouette of the thickness of the pages of the "open book"

      @@Healcraft I have two Epi LP ES Pro guitars (LP shape, ES 339 semi hollow maple Ply construction, mahogany centre block), both have Probuckers, just different colour body. Both play great but I prefer the sound of the second one I bought (least preferred colour 😂). I will in time work out what's causing the difference in tone. Starting with the differences in set up (bridge pick up height, stopbar height, string gauge/fresh strings). Not so easy to check the pots on the ES (access through f holes, no back cover plates).

    Its a step in the right direction, still want to see the classic Gibson shape on the Epiphone LPs. But keep the 14 degree headstock angle of the Epiphone.

    I believe both guitars have the similar pickups.. epiphone alnico pro bucker in the gold and the hot version on the sunburst... both guitars sound great to me... I always change the pickups and electronics anyway

    • @SaxJockey

      The new Classic LP have (older) Alnico Classic Pro PuPs (Alnico V). So the worn Gold and Cherry here are both Alnico Classic Pro. The new Modern & Standard LP have (newer) Probuckers (Alnico II). Epiphone have confused the hell out of everyone with the PuP names 😂.

    I would call the clear sound thin. It doesn't have the deep south of a bucker or the chimb of a p90. It just sounds thin. I play a Gretsch Jet these guitars have a chimb but they are not tiny.

    Weird that you think these guitars sound different because they both are supposed to have Alnico Classic PRO™ humbucker pickups. The only difference is that the Classic gloss have CTS electronics whereas the word doesn't for some reason. Would this make a difference to you think?

    I have the Epiphone Les Paul Standard PlusTop Pro ,and yes, it's got the older headstock shape that you and a lot of other people don't like, but it it's a fantastic guitar. To be honest with you the headstock shape was never anything I paid any attention to and I never noticed the difference between the Gibson and Epiphone headstock shapes until I actually bought my first Epiphone Les Paul Standard back in 2001. It was a beautiful black guitar with the off-white pickgaurd and binding ,it had the greenish "tulip" styled tuning machines. I loved that guitar but I hated the pickups that came with it. They were horrible. If could go back, I would replace the pickups with P90's. I've actually been thinking about doing that to my PlusTop Pro which came with the Probuckers, as you know, they also have coil splitting capabilities. I've been digging into a lot of surf and rockabilly stuff and Les Pauls are sort of an oddball choice for the sound that I'm trying to achieve. I hope you get the "cherry burst" Les Paul, because I know Les Pauls can surf. If you want want one these ,I believe you could get one for about half of the retail price if you can find one on the used market. I got mine for about $300 from one of the local pawnshops. Great video!

    • @spottedsaint957
      @spottedsaint957 3 роки тому

      I recently discovered that the humbuckers and P90's that came in the Les Pauls are NOT the same size. What can I say? I guess I won't be doing the swap after all.
