I watch UA-cam videos all the time. My search of incredible musicians led me here. Your just as amazing as i remember when i was 14 in the shop. When we jammed Crosscut Saw. Your simply the best! & always will be! I even brought this channels attention to your Brother. 😁🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵 keep em' coming! - thankful for your inspiration, Benjy
Wow Benjy, such a nice message from you. I remember jamming in the shop with you and Dustin and the guys, such great times and music. And you are a great player as well. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you soon again!
Tres gentil merci🙏 I don’t believe this guitar is a premium series, but I could be wrong. I bought it used several years ago and have always thought it was just a standard issue Epiphone copy of a Gibson ES-295.
Just found a Scotty Moore model ES295 and bringing it home this Friday. Previous owner put a Lollar p90 in the bridge position. How do you like the Tunomatic bridge in yours?
Thanks for watching. The bridge present in this performance is actually an aftermarket roller bridge, which worked fine. I am not a fan of standard tune-o-matic bridges with Bigsby tremolos. They just will not allow staying anywhere near in tune over the long haul for as much as I like to use the Bigsby. Since this video, I have installed a solid, one-piece Compton bridge that tunes up well and sounds better than the roller. Thanks again, good luck with the new axe.
Hey man, amazing sound! I have a Gibson 295 from 1990, and it comes with Lollar pickups. I don't like it too much because they have no twang... What pickups do you use? What should I do to improve twang on my guitar? Thanks a lotttt
Thank you for the nice comment. Nice to know a fellow 295 fan. This guitar just has its original Epiphone pickups. I have not had the wherewithal to investigate other P90s but I’m pretty happy with how they sound. Twang is elusive and we can’t get enough. Try different gauge strings, action, pickup height, these factors are a world of ways to find the sound and twang you’re after. Also, perhaps look into so-called 50s Wiring vs Modern Wiring on the vol and tone pots. Or try a treble-bleed network across the vol pots. The quest is to be able to turn the guitar down without losing clarity, and of course, twang. Cheers, best of luck.

Cette Epi sonne phénoménale, le joueur sans doute plus que la guitare, is this the premium series ?

@@shawnhelsel923 Think I'm going to go with a Tru-Arc or Compton, too.
