Wait wutttt!!! An EPI on this channel is EPIc!!! I love how once in a while these sub $1k guitars just catches your eye. Afterall, a good guitar is a good guitar!
That's right, a good guitar is a good guitar and boy, this one is excellent 👌
That thing sounds phenomenal in the neck position. And I love how Emily encompassed so many designs from other guitars into one
I love this guitar, since this video I threw dimarzio x2ns in it and it sounds even better!
Love this review and love the channel. Though I haven’t even seen it in person yet, this guitar does seem special and to see you connect with It just made me happy today!
On a sidenote, thank you for the energy you bring to your channel!
Rock on Greg, I love reading this stuff. It puts a big smile on my face. What you see is who I am in real life (although maybe amped up to 11). I just love music and guitars! Thanks for watching brother and taking the time to comments
First time in this channel. I really enjoyed the content. Thank yoi
Rock on! 🤘 thank you for watching. Please subscribe and join the madness. 🙌 have fun going down the bunnyhole...there's way more where that came from dude
I definitely share your enthusiasm about this guitar. Plays and sounds as good as it looks….and it looks so good! 😉
Howard, thank you for watching!!! Your shout out clearly is on the chopping block floor, I need to remedy that. I hope your white wolf is serving you well through those mesas!
@@TheNeuroticGuitaristNo problem, Benny, and I love mine as much as you love yours! Just an awesome guitar! 😉
Duuude! I seriously wasn't quiet certain on this model. I remembered that you made this video. So here I am just blown away but how crazy awesome this guitar sounds! The craftsmanship is way awesome as well! So yeah, I'm gonna grab one!
Let me know what you think dude! Rock on! I did eventually change the pups, they're good for an 899 guitar but I put dimarzios in it, made it that much better
@TheNeuroticGuitarist Well I did it! I grabbed one, but in black. I won't lie, I was a bit disappointed when I got it. The neck was way off & I had to adjust the truss rod & drop the bridge some. There's a volume pot that looks to be bent.
On the upside, I was planning on yanking out the guts & replacing the pots with push/pull pots & throwing in some custom Jim Wagner Pickups. I think that the coil splitting will just ad that much more diversity in it's tonal options.
I can definitely see this becoming an awesome work horse! I'm glad I caught your review on the guitar because that's definitely what sold me on getting one! 🤘🤘
Totally relate man! I remember how sub par Epiphones felt in the early 2000s when I was starting out. I wrote off the brand for years and only wanted Gibsons. That changed over the last year. I tried some newer Epiphone models and was blown away. I ended up buying the Epi Joe Bonamassa ES-335 and Adam Jones Les Paul Custom and enjoy them both as much as my Gibsons. Epiphone as a brand had really stepped it up in recent years. For the money, they’re great value.
100% the thing that also helps me with this model is that it was never a Gibson model. There isn't a Gibson version. It's its own thing. Love it.
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist Well said! It’s nice to see them offer cool and unique specs and features that are hard to find on Gibson models. For many of these Epiphones, the closest Gibson versions like the Dave Grohl ES-335 or 70s Norlin silver burst Les Paul would probably cost thousands and be unobtainable for many.
@shaddymd5177 the thing is that this guitar is not only distinctly its own this, but esthetically it's gorgeous. I'm excited to get these dimarzios in it and make her a forever guitar! Thanks for watching
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist Bet it’ll sound awesome with those! Thanks for the great content man, really enjoy your videos and enthusiasm. 🤘
@shaddymd5177 thanks for watching, especially the full length videos. Please keep helping to spread the word 🙏
Dude, I absolutely love Epiphone. Like I wrote in another post, I highly prefer the headstock angle compared to Gibson's 17 degree neck dive angle. I own the Epi LP modern and it's down right awesome! You rocked that Epi EWS!!
Thanks so much brother! You rock 🤘🤘
So glad you like it! The white does look freaking sharp! Now you know why I always call Epiphone the "Baseball cards" of guitars! Collect them all!!! LOL!!!
I want a black one now for the Ying yang!
Dude it looks great
I love it Josh. I actually loved it so much I put dimarzios and better electronics in it because as great as the guitar was, I have pickups worth as much. So now she's a forever axe. Should do a video on my mods
Hey dude
Super sick and cool collection there man.
Greetings from Germany 🤘
Greetings from Boston brother! Thank you for watching. Please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
I watched this video, thought about it for 4 days… called up my Sweetwater rep and bought one. Thank you for the detailed review!
Damn Brian, that's rad. Let me know what you think when you get it! I just put dimarzios in it because I love it so much it's become one of my main axes.
I just got mine last week. I absolutely love it. Feel and sound are both exceptional. The only thing I’d change would be to put an ebony fretboard on it. Mine has a relatively dark piece of Laurel and it’s really nicely figured. Lots of streaking. But I love an ebony fretboard.
The ebony boards are super nice but it'd definitely drive up the price considerably. I actually just changed the pickups and pots on mine and now it's perfect!
Sounds awsome
She really does!
Totally agree with you,i have the 1st edition the black one it cranks!! I'm gonna get the White One too rock on sir Dude 😎😎
Rock on and happy holidays dude 🤘 I changed the pickups to dimarzio deactivators, that was my only issue is that the pups were decent but not awesome. Thanks for watching, please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
I've always wanted to try a 335 style guitar...took me a while to apriciate them❤❤thanx Benny 😊
This is a great semi hollow to start your love affair!
Thanks for highlighting this E.W. Sheraton. I have a guitar center exclusive inverness green “inspired by gibson” epiphone ES-335 and it sounds and plays incredible. all for $449 new! available in black, gold top, and tobacco burst too…
Sounds pretty rad to me. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. Please subscribe and join the madness
Nice guitar! Love the all white - it really pops. The body looks deeper than a 335 - maybe it's just the white but am curious if it is. Great find - and with it being an Epiphone you can smash it, light it on fire, ram the headstock through a Marshall Origin 4x12 cabinet and not feel one bit guilty - except for the poor dude who has to clean up the mess! ROCK ON BENNY!!
This guitar just makes me happy, I find myself staring at it on my wall. It's those block inlays with the lightning 🌩
I tried out a black one a few months ago and nearly bought it. Some of those Epi semi-hollows are sick guitars, Bobkats and wildkats and all that. I dont personally think as much of the Epi LPs. Enjoy it!!
I'm not a fan of the epi versions of gibson guitars, not because some of them aren't awesome, I just want the real thing. This guitar has its own distinct identity and is not a copy of a Gibson. The sheraton was one of the models from epi I'd want and the fact it has the vintage headstock and inlays, but then all those unique features just makes it it's own thing. And I love it.
@TheNeuroticGuitarist exactly. The models I liked weren't the "inspired by Gibson", as they just dont feel the same as a Gibson. The sub-$1k semis are as good as any of the Gretsch,etc stuff at the same price, and the headstocks with inlays/binding actually look good as compared to the plain headstocks on their other models.
@RByrne the setup on this guitar is also incredible. It rings like a bell and I can dig into it and it stays perfectly in tune. The action is perfect. It plays awesome from the lowest to the highest fret. It's literally what I would expect from a 5k gibson. The only thing my buddy cory mentioned to me is that it plays and sounds great but something about it felt cheap to him, I'm thinking the glossy neck.
@TheNeuroticGuitarist You're right, something feels "less premium" about it. I figured it was the polyurethane. It's barely an issue, though.
Good video your a riot cool man they you have that sense of humor this what the people need people like 😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much eddie, I really appreciate that and u taking the time to watch. Please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist your welcome you're a joy you're about the age of my oldest grandson
@@eddiemautone209 rock on eddie!!! How Olds your oldest grandson?
My Epi SG olive drab with a vibrola that i picked up for $499 is unreal! Epiphone pickups are so good nowadays!
I think the pickups in this sound great but when I compared it to my es335 the 57s blew the epiphones away. I just ordered some custom dimarzios and am excited to hear how this goes up against the es335.
The~ yeah,epic .
Thanks so much 🙏
Mine has been my No1 gigging guitar since I got it 🤘😁
And there it is! Rock on 👆👆👆
Nice
Thanks for watching franklyn!!!! Please subscribe and join the madness 🙏
I’ve been collecting eppi artist models… let me tell you amazing guitars! I stop playing my 3k plus Guitars instead for my joe bonnamassa black beauty, lzzy hale explorer. Brent Hinds custom V and last a BB king Lucille in red! Eppis are awesome!!!
Rock on brother, I won't argue with you on that! Thank you for watching, please subscribe and join the madness
I don’t know who she is, but I will say she has great taste in guitars 😍 plus I’m on a white guitar kick.
I didn't either until I literally met her at gibson. I fell in love with her guitar at 3pm and then by 8pm was rocking out with her. Crazy how that worked. Her axe will not let you down
Watch her live. Her band is awesome
Looks good. Since playing more semihollows and hollows recently I cant seem to go back to solids.
There's a reason why they call them burst killers Craig! Thank you for watching and please like and subscribe
You played it great.
Thanks giovanni!!! Rock on! Please subscribe and join the madness 🙌

Cool video man, great guitar & you’re right about some more affordable guitars - some of them are great!! But ain’t it funny how “affordable” these days is 90% of a $1000🙃.
The times they are a changing! I'm with ya, got my 77 flying v for 200!
I’ve had the original black version for over a year now. It’s probably my favorite guitar to play. Only issue is a wonky low E tuner that seems to be an issue on some of them. Very slim neck by the way.
Really? On the grovers??? Those are usually really solid. I like the slim neck, but I am also not picky, I also like baseball bats, just depends on how it feels in my hand. Please subscribe and join the madness 🙏
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist unfortunately yeah. I thought it just might’ve an issue with mine, maybe a lemon tuner. Then I watched Trogly’s review on it and he had the same issue.
Cool guitar for sure. I dig semi hollows. I had a 2010's limited edition Epi 335, a B B King sig and a fairly rare 90's Sheraton II in white. Dude, is that copy of Yesterday....And Today on the wall a covered up Butcher album??? Oh, I left the story about Gene Simmons wanting to kick my ass in the comments of that Dime/Vinny vid. Right on & rock on my man! \m/
It absolutely is. It's a "second state," so it's a butcher baby album with the second day sticker still on it. Really good example. I nerd out over music memorabilia as much as guitars so if you watch any of my videos you'll def see some wild stuff in the background
That's awesome man , I used to collect autographs. There was a time when I had every Beatles album, all original and all in great shape. In general I just love limited edition and rare things I'm addicted to them!!! And I was still adding on to my comment above I got why Gene Simmons was wanting to kick my ass in the Darrell and Vinnie vid. So yeah man, right on!
Oh man, years ago I almost bought one of those white Sheratons, which is a mistake I certainly regret. This Emily Wolfe Sheraton eases the pain of that mistake. 😉
@@HVA58 Yes I definitely agree the Emily wolf signature would definitely help in easing the pain. I'm needing one right now for the regret of selling that white Sheridan II. Lol. \m/
@@supersonicnomad8437Oh no…….Yeah, it certainly would help ease that pain. 🙄😉
Would you say that this guitar is an improvement on the standard epiphone gibson inspired 335 type of guitar..? . I know that this one is a sheraton and is a signature.. but is it worth the extra 300 bucks..? .. I do like the look and and sound of it. You did an excellent demo.
I don't have much experience with the epiphone 59 so I can't speak to it, but I really love this guitar for what it is. I wasn't in love with the pickups so I have changed them since this video, so that would be a huge part of my decision. That said l, just for the looks and the quality of the feel, I can't imagine that guitar being better, but the pickups aren't to die for
I'm a Epiphone player. It's cool because i can buy more guitars if i buy low priced guitars. Do you have thoughts about the EPI Firebird?
I haven't personally played one but I think epiphone has upped their game substantially in the last five years. It's all about how it feels to YOU! happy playing Chris
Prefer the black one aesthetically, but the Epiphone Les Pauls, 335 / Sheratons these day are awesome value.
It was a hard choice, I have a few black beauty style guitars and the white one was new but honestly, I'm debating getting both for the Ying yang.
I love this guitar.
Rock on, me too! Thanks for watching, please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist absolutely, I'm happy to say that I've been here since YT recommended your prs silver sky se video😆
@@MountainLionessMusic rock on, I appreciate you! Keep letting me know what you dig and what you'd like to see 🙏
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist definitely! My cup of coffee would be the mid, player, gig-able type guitars that punch way above their price tag. Much like this video and the silver sky video I mentioned before. Of course that's just me. You're doing a great job, Cheers!
@MountainLionessMusic believe me, I've realized that, which is hard because I haven't thought about those kind of guitars. But playing rare stuff no one can find or buy only appeals to so many people, too. I'm hoping to get sponsorship so people will start sending me things to review. I went out and bought the Emily Wolfe and SE myself just to review. Of course, I loved them and here we are! I appreciate u 💛
Six and a half minutes into the video, we finally see the guitar lol
Here's the great thing, if you're bored you can always go to whatever part of the video whenever you want 🤷♂️
I have a Joe Bonnamassa Epi 64’ Firebird reissue, the original hardware was junk, I believe it was intended as a wall hanger, $900, but the wood, they did it right,
I put $1100 of new hardware with 3 Pick ups on it, unfortunately I had to get a bone nut & a refret before it would play/sound good. This Emily Wolfe Axe is ready to go, mine is 6 years old now, Epiphone has upped their game here, you aren’t the only one saying it’s great. I had to invest money I can’t get back, this 335, this already there!😀
You're paying for the name Joe bonamassa, I guarantee he's making way more a guitar than Emily Wolfe. The electronics and pickups were OK, but I just spent 300 and upgraded them to dimarzio. Didn't hold a candle to my es335 and the 57s in it. Now it wins.
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist I really like stud tailpiece, (that’s why, Joe and epi reissues, & that ancient fender amp he resurrected recently) wrap around bridges, my SG has a tone pros wrap around, the Revstar does too, PRS SE hollow has his design wrap around, and I love firebirds, I NEVER thought I could afford one…..it ain’t worth nothin’. being an EPI, but nobody has one quite like this
Vol/tone for each pick up, separate on switch for each, 4 sounds per PU, either coil, series or parallel and the tone pros wrap. And REAL Banjo pegs ….waverly 😅
It’s got these Fu Tone brass plates, to direct mounted pick ups.
Which was the one mistake I made, the neck PU is way to close to the strings and can’t be adjusted, plus it’s a bridge PU, so I’m gonna change that out soon, it’s a TV Jones super Tron, I have another guitar I’ll put that in…..in the bridge position 🙄🤣
Biggest box Benny😊
Grote doos is also big py okay I'll hush😊
🤘🤪🤘👆
That is Scarface's signature guitar....... white powder finish...... say hello to my little friend 😂. For 899 it is a steal.
Abalone ⚡🔱⚡
🤘😜🤘🦚
Great unbox vid. I am for sure diggin the all white version of Emily's epi. I have always poop pooped the epiphone line but for the cash I may go check it out, I'm a white axe kinda guy. Cheers Benny great video ✌️
I don't like epiphones that ARE already gibsons, I still have that "diet gibson" mentality, but this guitar has a life and identity of its own. The sheraton was a rad guitar and the fact it has a vintage correct headstock and inlay compounded with the real mollusk just makes me happy. I will say, I am upgrading the pickups!
@TheNeuroticGuitarist I would agree on all your points. The epi. Pro buckers pups are a huge draw back in the whole line if I get one that's would the first order of business would be to install a set 57/57+ or I would wind a custom set simular to the 57's
@WTFosterGuitars 100% I liked them and then played then against my 335 and was like...nope. I ended up ordering custom dimarzios...but 57/57+ is my go to. If I didn't have them in 20 guitars I'd probably have ordered those
Thanks brother, always like the elusive prize ✌️
to me wood not really that big big difference in term of tone, sometimes can tell the different , but doesn't mean that rare fancy piece of wood must better sound that ordinary piece of wood ,more important is the feel in your hand, if you feel great ,make you play better and inspiring , but in acoustic guitar world, tone wood absolutely real thing, for high gain stuff , wood spice not my number one priority, but i think the body bigger, usually make better sound or louder sound , you can feel that big chunk of wood vibrate or ringing or something .
great video ,anyway your unboxing technic some room for improvement . cheers
Haha I know I can unbox from the bottom, I deliberately open it from the top to be ridiculous! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching

i like thAt color and the cutouts
Both are super rad, you will not be let down by the emily wolf, she's a classy dame
I'm talking to a company about a bass that will cost between $6k and 7k. It comes with a gig bag. Wtf?
Wtf dude! I don't get it. I just don't. My emily wolf epiphone came w a badass hardshell case for 899. You can't give a case for 6k...pass
@TheNeuroticGuitarist Right? It's a custom build, and the wait list is two years! I want a case.
I'm a sucker for white guitars so this one's in my head. Problem is so is the Satin Black version (DO NOT REPLY "GET BOTH!")
haha you SHOULD get both. if I had more room I would, too, but you gotta pick your battles! do it!
and please subscribe 🤪
Already a subscriber. Your collections is bananas! I ONLY have 12 and am looking to reduce that number to make room for a Wolfe.
I love my blacky.
I need a blacky for the Ying yang. I just got dimarzio d activator pickups in white with gold and it's gonna look so sick. The pups sound great but it doesn't hold a candle to the 57s in my 335 so I wanna level the playing field and do a battle. Stay tuned.
Congrats an axe you can bloody chop with maybe screw that Steve Hackett whammy to it earyah laterrrr🎶🎶🎶👀👍🎶🎶

😊😊😊😊😊😊nice guitar georgous you don't need high priced Gibson first off Gibson is over rated I played them in the music stores I wasn't impressed at all the low budget guitars sounded better I should know I been singing and playing guitar over 50 years folks
Eddie, I agree that a lot of gibsons can be lackluster and I certainly get the overpriced thing, but let's be clear, some of the best guitars in the world say gibson on them. I don't think they're overrated but some definitely don't make the mark. That said, for 800 you won't find another guitar that touches the quality of this one.
