Unbelievable response to this video & guitar!! Congratulations to Epiphone, Gibson & Dave Grohl. The DG-335 is officially our most pre ordered guitar of the last 12 months!!! Thanks to everyone that’s ordered one - we’ll be doing our best to get the guitars delivered as soon as possible as we can. 👍👍👍
@@sillysausage4549listen I’m probably in the same boat of never wanting to spend the money on their upper end stuff but, an absurd price is really an individual kind of thing. To some people this is pocket change and to others a month of rent or something similar. I would never buy one of these but, epiphone hasn’t stopped their lower end products, so there are always those options and not just expensive Epiphones now..
These new Epiphone prices really make Reverend guitars look even better. The Reverend’s were always a huge bang for the buck. Comparing their lineup to Epiphone’s new higher prices makes the Reverend a steal.
A lot of guitar makes are now looking more attractive than epiphone. I don't understand what epiphone are doing with their pricing lately, I know a lot of guitars that I would buy for £1.250 than that.
I have a Reverend that’s 5 or 6 years old now. Back then I thought they were a good deal even though they don’t even give you a gig bag like similar priced Fender, PRS and Epiphone does. Heck you can spend $1700 on a new signature Reverend and still not even get a case. In my opinion from an owners standpoint, I don’t think the new Reverends are worth it. I have an Inspired By Gibson 59 Epiphone Les Paul and that guitar is absolutely great. The neck and frets were perfect out of the case. I get compliments on the sound of that guitar at every gig. I guess each to their own, that’s why there are so many brands out there. The higher end Epiphone’s have come a long way.
I agree that Epiphones have come a long way, but they are not nearly as good as Reverends for the same price. I bought a brand new Warhawk DAW two months ago for $1,100. It's very well made, has locking tuners, and came with a hardshell case. Each to their own, but I'll take a Reverend over an Epiphone any day.
@@CycloneJackI remember when I bought one of the first Reverend imports (a Warhawk no less) to the UK for £330. Perhaps I shouldn’t of let it go.. seems they are worth a little bit more now!
Reverends are a better value for sure. So are Yamahas. You can get a Pacifica 612 for $450 less than this Epiphone. And it's made better and is more versatile.
@@billybob-b7t David Grohl knocked up a fat chick while pushing corporate sponsored vaccines on his fans in order to attend his concerts. I don’t think he’s an authority on what is dumb or not.
I saw them for "free" at Expo 98 in Lisbon. The Expo was meh but I felt my $30ish bucks was well spent to spend the day there because of the show. Dave was hilarious. The only Portuguese word he seemed to know was obrigado (thank you) and they busted out My Sharona with obrigado as the lyrics to start the show.
The AC30 is probably bang on for what was used in the studio on a bunch of recordings. His main rig is an original Fender Tonemaster head, along with a Custom Audio head, and he now uses Friedman cabinets. In the studio, it can be a variety of anything. Dave and Chris stopped using Boogies live around 2010/2011, and switched to different amps around Wasting Light.
Thanks for your great Demo. Love Epiphone and i have the tommy thayer Explorer and the matt heafy orgins les paul but the prices for epiphones are amazing high😮
Ive worked out that the Foo sound is pretty much: Chris- suped up sl plexi Dave- sl plexi with a fender logo Pat- suped up suped up sl plexi(aka jcm800) Friedman BE100 Fender Tonemaster Wizard W800 Just get a Marshall valve amp and a drive pedal.
I was never an Epiphone fan. These last few years I’ve found myself falling in love with quite a few of the IBG line guitars. Bought a few. Worth every penny. What you get with these is GIBSON USA pickups, CTS pots and A HARD CASE. I think it’s a good value.
Been playing an original Trini in red with the bigsby since 1993. My dad’s first new guitar when he was a young musician. I do love the Pelham blue but think the LP in that color would be better for the collection here than the sig Dave model
I NEED this guitar! Ever since I toured the old Gibson factory in Memphis, TN, I've had my eyes on this thing. They had the Gibson model on the "collection wall," and all dudes my age that walked by it were, almost visibly, salivating. Such a sexy axe. Great vid, gents!
The comments about price seems fair considering a standard Epi 335 is Les than half the price, meaning diamond shaped f-holes, and a signature is worth a quite a lot, considering the rest of the specs don’t differ that much, and the price of a burstbucker, and Grover minis, are not enough of a price difference, even at retail prices, to make up the 60% premium.
I'm kinda suprised that these are cheaper than the new Firebirds/other Signatures. Nice guitar, but paying more than a grand on a Epiphone is just crazy.
Johnny Million @itsjohnnymillion It doesn't make sense if you alter what they said, naturally. They said they don't think they will buy one but NOT because of the price tag and brand. In other words, they areN,t going to buy it , but the pricing and brand are not part of that decision. As opposed to not buying it on account of the brand, which is what you're Lolling about.
Depends. I think the Dave Grohl is priced high but fairly when you consider it comes with a hard case and Gibson pickups. But most of the other premium Epi’s seem overpriced.
The 339 is a very different sounding guitar. It has a much smaller body than the Grohl Guitar does . The Grohl guitar has a 335 size body .. You won't get 335 tones or Trini Lopez tones from a 339 and the 339 has crap pickups.
Hey guys been watching for years and I enjoyed this video as much or maybe more than most y’all make. Love foo fighters and their music. Keep it going man one day I’m going to your store and hopefully meet you and Pete and see your wonderful store. Love y’all keep rocking
My Reverb review: I have owned three ES-335s, two Gibsons and one Epiphone Pro. Not only is this guitar better than them, it is better than my Les Paul. I always plek my guitars, this one doesn't seem to need it. I always replace the tuners with lockers, but these tuners are so good - I may not. I can't find a flaw in this guitar and I gave it the Trogly look over. Now make an SG with this headstock and fit and finish !
I’ve always loved the 335, the epiphone DGT looks great. I did have a Sheraton pro 2 , traded it like an idiot, But I’m getting back into the semi hollow bodies.great review.
Lee and Pete doing Everlong at the end is so good. Guitars great. Bit expensive to say it’s made in China but it looks a great and gives us mere mortals a chance to
Thats stunning. I could only dream of that and wish i could play like that . i have a starter 222 and a fender in its case. I just really like that sound especially a David Grohl piece ❤
the trini sounds more like what im used to from dave than the dave! maybe its the amp. why is everlong so good, it literally put a physical smile on my face watching u guys play it and its just 3 very simple chords
There’s a reverse harmony version of it on Ytube and even that sounds awesome which convinces me the chord progression must be mythically perfect as normally songs turn out to be very strange when he does them.
It is SO COOL when a Rock Star like Dave Grohl comes out with an affordable Signature guitar. I seriously have way more guitars than I can possibly need, but damn, I want one of those!!!!
It's the same shape oh both sides. Why can't you just turn it upside down. Turn the nut the other way. Sure, the knobs and cable will be on the wrong side but surely that is a small price to pay.
I wanna buy a Epiphone Firebird but I know those things will depreciate in value ridiculously fast. I'm probably one of many who will be waiting for the used market offerings of these new Epiphones. They are sick tho.
KKR private equity firm, which is the owner of Gibson, is going to be very happy with the returns from this one. I couldn't resist pre-ordering one myself.
From what I remember seeing the Foo Fighters live several times in the late-90s/ early 2000s, and reading guitar magazines, Dave Grohl did use Dual/ Triple Recs, with a Vox for cleans. Then supposedly he changed to Mesa Road Kings and dropped the AC 30. But I’m sure his live rig from around 25 years ago is not what he used in the studio, especially for the later albums when he was actually playing the Trini Lopez/ his signature model.
Dave’s been playing guitar since a kid. He talks down his guitar and music knowledge massively. Clearly he knows what he’s doing. So many pretend they don’t know what they are playing. Is this to look cool?
I think so haha. I think it’s mainly to placate personalities tbh. If you know musicians then you know a lot of them mythologize the idea of playing by feel. Some of the same people scoff at knowledge or theory but more importantly some just never had the opportunity. It can be easy to be the resident smart ass if you’re not careful. Quick edit to note that Pete even maneuvers around it in this video. He starts describing how Dave MUST know what he’s doing but quickly cuts off the tirade because he knows what comes with it.
Y i k e s rough timing for the folks at Epiphone. I remember when Dave Grohl still had us all fooled as a lovable father and husband. Ah, the good old days.
Excactly my thought too, still a bit shocked after the Epi Firebird 63 release lol Shame I have already bought 3 guitars in 2024..... This is a must as well.
That's how the marketing and pricing scheme gets people. Inflate the prices so ridiculously that the lower, but still ridiculous, prices look more appealing compared to the higher price.
Indeed. I thought for sure it was going to be their most expensive yet. They probably could have charged 2000 thousand at least and they'd have sold just the same.
But epi pups vs Gibson pups, no mother of pearl inlays and depends on how much you value pelham blue over walnut and the Trini Lopez styling. I can see why they've priced it this way.
Re: the middle position discussion. I've always heard he plays a lot in the neck position with the volume rolled off. That's what's worked for me, anyway.

wont happen, because he refers to himself as the captain. Dave Grohl said he thought that was stupid af. I was there when he said it.

I don’t think he’s an authority on what is dumb or not.
😬
My first concert was Foo Fighters with Supergrass as the opener in 1997 in a small venue for $12 a ticket .
Id say that was a great gig! And 12 quid?! That wouldn't even get you a beer at a gig now 😐
That's like 2% of what it costs now 😢
You should have asked for your money back.
It wasn't my first concert, but the only time I saw Foo Fighters was at a festival where they were between Creed and Green Day.
I saw them for "free" at Expo 98 in Lisbon. The Expo was meh but I felt my $30ish bucks was well spent to spend the day there because of the show. Dave was hilarious.

Did you actually listen to it? The tones were awful here lol
Makes sense since studio owners / producers love the AC30
There’s photos from like 1995/96 where Dave is using a Marshall.
Got mine pre-ordered in New Zealand. Only 4 coming into the country initially apparently. So expensive here too.
I got mine in NZ too on the 2nd run. Really enjoying it so far. How are you finding yours?
@@mellowwizard I haven't actually played it yet! it's sitting in its case until I've tidied my office.
love the playing of Foo songs you guys did. That made the video for me. Well done lads
I got Mike last week and is the best sounding and feeling guitar I’ve ever owned!!!
Wow! Great playing Pete!!! Cool axe! I can't wait to see the Foo Fighters this summer in California!!!
Really nice playing boys, really enjoyed it
They played those Foo Fighters songs like they just listened to them once right before shooting the video. 😂
