Epiphone has really stepped up their quality lately. All the "Inspired by Gibson" guitars are actually really good.
I had 2 of the 2021 Epi Slash AFDs. Both were awesome guitars. Just surprisingly good. And the pickups on the AFD reminded me of '80s DiMarzios. They sounded great and I wouldn't recommend replacing them. Great bang for the buck. I sold them to finance a higher end purchase. I'd buy another without question.
Just got my 8yr old a november burst. Im teaching him , and relearning me! I just bought a silver burst epi. Love it.
Normally an ibanez rg guy!
I have to say, I purchased this Epiphone, at a new, fantastic GC price, of $499!! And the most surprising feature, is the resonance of this instrument, unplugged! My semi-hollows don’t come close to the sound this guitar has, just sitting on the couch! I’m excited to see how it performs at a show…And, I will be playing it clean, 80% of the night! Cheers!
Omg same I bought one for 500
At $499 this changes things
I'm in Australia and I really enjoyed this video as I do with most of your content.. i actually have an older 2007 Epiphone slash signature in tobacco burst with the Seymour Duncan's as stock. It is a beautiful guitar visually & to play
Love it! Sounds great!
great demo/playing thanks J & Z
Just bought the one in Vermillion Burst love it
I played on the Epiphone LP Slash guitar and also on the Epiphone LP custom pro in Koa. Bought the custom pro for the splitable pick ups, phase inverter pod, and the better tuners. The Epiphone custom pro sounds incredible through my Boss Katana 50 watt modeling amp...
I broke one of these out at my Guitar Center job, and I'm not normally a Les Paul guy, but this was one I could see myself rocking and have had my mind on since
Not only does it Look Good it Sounds really Good in the Mix !

Great review just ordered my from zzounds
Awesome! Thank you for watching and congrats on your new guitar!!
Sick performance at the end Jon 🤘
That is beautiful and sounds great 👍 👌 😀!!!
Ordered mine on appetite burst😍
Excellent presentation sir..................Cheers!
Hey good review. I bought the Goldtop version a while back and did t really like the pickups. LOVED the look and feel of the Guitar though. I will never understand why Epiphone didn’t put Slash pickups in this line. Makes no sense. Charge a few dollars more but the guitar would have been a huge seller. I pulled out the quick connect wiring and replaced it all with 50s style wiring and a set of Gibson USA Burstbuckers 2 and 3 I had. WORLD of difference. The case is beautiful and the guitar is now one of my main guitars.
In hindsight, would it have been better to buy the Epi 1959 Standard LP? I'm looking at the '59 and the Slash....leaning toward the '59 for the specs.
I need one!!!
Great tones and playing John and a great fair and objective review. The guitar and it's tone speak for it's self but I guess you'd expect that for high end guitar. Epiphone are just knocking it outpatk sure they cost more but you're getting upgrades and still incredible value.
This series got a unfair reception mainly from trolls who never picked one up. The biggest complaint was from use of custom probucker pickups. Epiphone has a great video where probucker pickups fooled even the most snobby cork sniffers. The Joe bonmassa black beauty also had custom probucker pickups and look at the reviews that got no wonder they go for such crazy money these days.
The lesson hear is Epiphone isn't the Epiphone of old. I'm glad to see Epiphone name getting the respect it deserves.
The Epiphone Customs Modern figured prophecy Crestwood Models all high end guitars..
What do you think of those Custom Probuckers? How do they compare with the Probucker 2 and 3 that come in most of the other Epiphones? I guess you will get to that with the review of the Standard, but I'm very curious about being in the room with those side by side and having both guitars in your hand. $350 extra is a lot on a guitar at that price point, but I guess you're getting the hardshell case, the electronics and the great color...
Most of the epiphone come with upgraded electronics especially the standard and high end line.
The probuckers in this guitar are in unique to this guitar they aren't your typical probuckers which are essentially a epiphone take on a PAF pickup (and a good one at that). The Gibson one also come with custom pickups.
The extra cost come from the hardcase custom pickups and paint job and artist endorsement.
You're getting a lot of value.
They're a bit of a waste really. They have a little more upper end chime than the standard Probuckers but not much. It seems like they swapped a magnet called it "Custom" and sent it. I'd rather they knocked $75 off, put in the standard pickups, and let buyers use that money to modify it as they see fit. They could add $75 and put the real deal Duncans in there. Those pickups have value.
I’ve got the Epiphone Slash anaconda burst guitar too, and I bought a set of Seymour Duncan Slash pickups. And they really do sound better than the epiphone ones.
My first Tele was an Affinity. Are the classic vibe series that much better? My Affinity was great and built my live for the telecaster. I do have a Custom Shop one now but still have my Affinity. Just wondered if the classic vibe is worth the extra bit of money.
I can’t speak 100% to the CV tele, but I’ve had a CV 60s strat for a few years, I’ve got a 97 California series USA tele, and I’ve played some Squier affinity guitars. If you’re happy with your affinity, and you have a custom shop Tele, you’re probably not missing out by not having a CV Tele. Iirc, CV models are just slightly higher quality parts (still not as good as replacement parts) and gloss necks.
Hey
The epiphone standard pro has that pro bucker 3 bridge uneven wind coil i believe with alnico 2 magnets
This has also alnico 2 “ custom pro “ bridge pick up
Do you know how similar this bridge custom pro and the pro bucker 3 pick up are in terms of sound?
Im torn between a standard pro or this slash version
Mostly heavy metal
What would you recommend
I know the fretboard has perloid but is the epiphone logo actual mother of pearl? I suspect it is due to some color inconsistencies
👍
I owned the Epiphone Slash Goldtop. I sent it back. Good guitar, but not worth the money. The '59 is a MUCH better deal, and a better guitar.
I like the looks of the Slash Epiphone Les Paul, however even though it has a solid maple cap,it still has flamed Veneer. I'd rather have a solid 2A top--while these Epis may sound great ....because of the veneer,no sweetning of tone,and a Zero increase in sustain . This is just one of my how toos tellin somebody to leave.ha ha ha!!
For $1000 I'd expect it to be from Korea not China tbh
I own two Gibson Les Pauls and several late Epiphone models.For that price you can't buy better guitars from other brands and you can have artists. The quality is better for the price at Epiphone than other brands but can't compare to Gibson.
I’m a big fan of LPs and Slash and green guitars but this thing… not a looker IMHO
I have autism and I am a guitar player myself
Keep on rocking champ 🤘🏻
@@DiabloDeezy thank you
@@DiabloDeezy I just got me a slash model les Paul myself
My region is not included in the give away:(
You have any friends in a region that is included?
@@PaulCooksStuff I don't have
Beauty but the performance part with the play along is weird and odd. Couldn't you have played some gnr type riffs for a gnr guitar?
The whole purpose is to cover all capability of tone .... Anybody can pick any type of guitar weather it be a strat , telle or LP and would be able to play GnR .... When selling something like this you want to make the instrument cover every genre of music to make it appealing for all walks of like...... Bc it doesn't take a GnR only fan to appreciate a instrument like this for all walks of life not just Slash
@@shepp7988 the point is to get subs and affiliate money. The performance mix was not good and it didn't show what it can do for the people wanting the slash in either video. Almost cringe worthy. That guy is a good player but it did little to show the whole package. Why not do some clean tones and do some slash licks to appeal to the people.
@@TheKapplebee Ya, he should have thrown in a GnR riff for fun, but its fine. I got all the info I needed from the demo. I wasn't really listening to what he was playing, but the sound the guitar was producing. Cheers!
Subbed...I would trade you my six old junkers for a good playable guitar..I jst got an old bigsby at a yard sale on some hacked up strat type thing..it's Awesome if your like me and like quirky old stuff
Copyright free America would be great I remember old UA-cam stupid huh join this channel so I can get my Gibson thanx guys.
🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️
This is a nice guitar, but it’s still an Epiphone level of quality for the price of VERY nice pawnshop/secondhand Gibson Studios, and the difference is huge
True but I wouldn't just discount a high end Epiphone either. Pawn shop guitars come with issues too just like any guitar including Gibson.
That's just the nature of hand made things. Good thing most shops have good return policies.
That’s nonsense. Low end Gibsons aren’t exactly anything to write home about. You make it sound like the low end Gibsons are as good as their high end instruments, which simply isn’t the case. For example, the Tribute is trash. Try using critical thought. Not all Epiphones or Gibsons are the same.
Me
Awesome reviews!! This guitar blew out the Gibsons at GC
Epiphones are King 🤴 they rule the Les paul and Sg world 🌎 goodbye Gibson 👋
oh you haven't played one or own one let me tell you I have had both I'll take my Gibson les paul standard I earned it
@@rayfabris2512I haven’t played a Gibson that was worth the cost. Which is a shame as I always wanted to own one.
@@automatoncollectives7237 it was a retirement gift to myself
@@rayfabris2512Nice! Well done.
@@automatoncollectives7237 thank you I've had all lot of different guitar through the years in the 80s it was v's and explorer types when then I could afford a Gibson $400 back then but didn't want one a mistake I made so my 1st check was more than I expected so I called Gibson garage this was during covid sweetwater had a 4 month wait but I got Gibsons phone number and a week later it was at my house I have no regrets so thanks again and have a good day
he's high
Aren't we all?
This a excellent guitar, however I think necesary change pickups to Seymour Duncan Slash. You must this comparation: ua-cam.com/video/Pq5SacgNBiM/v-deo.html
Pick me please 🙏 😭
Fret board is disappointing. Someone needs to plant some trees or something. All these new guitars look horrible
They should use richlite instead
Problem is rosewood isn't sustainable over logged and Illegal logging. It still has very high demand especially china which is why Epiphone were still able to produce rosewood fretboard guitars and Gibson weren't during the CITES era.
Rosewood is a canopy tropical rainforest tree which grow very slowly. So more more ecological to use alternatives. Laurel is about the best alternative we have to rosewood. It's used across the board from cheep to high end guitars.
Some chinese and indonesian made are selling rosewood again. Eart and Latitude
Sire too
