Well the chibsons are like $300 US. And they are kind of a crapshoot buildwise and need better electronics and likely hardware. I've experimented with 2, sold em both at an even break. I just bought this model and it is leagues above any chibson I've played. Been playing for 30 years, I do setups and repairs as a side hustle. These specific epis are in a league of their own. Go try one out. I dare you
I played one of these yesterday in a store and it feels cheap. It's rediculous heavy as well. Like heavier than my Artist TC59 that I demoed a few years ago. The neck is super sticky and feels exactly the same as a Epiphone Les Paul standard or Epiphone Les Paul Custom You're paying 300% more for a Seymour Duncan pickup, a Silverburst finish and fake Schaller tuners that are not very precise and jump a bit as I discovered oh and a cheap plastic Epiphone hardcase. Also just below the Adam Jones hanging on the wall in the store was a Brand New Gibson SG standard in limited TV yellow for the same asking price. Beautiful👍And to the left was a Fender Ultra Strat for less than both. You'd have to be an absolute Smeg to buy a Chinese guitar over a US. I love AJ and have been listening to TOOL since the early 90s but no thanks man. It's Chinese. Premium prices and made in china should never be an actual thing in my book.😂
@@Skwisgaarz666 but that’s the thing, there’s always the possibility of not knowing about the Norlin Era. I didn’t until about a year or so before the Gibson Adam Jones Collection came into existence
except you say "China YAAAAS" when it comes to your $1000+ smart phone, $2000 macbook or PC, $3000 tube amp that says Made in America but is actually assembled from all made in china parts, any all electronics and appliances in your house, your nikes, etc. If this guitar was made in America it would be *looks at Gibson version* $10,000
That guitar is truly something. The best. 🔥🔥🔥
Can you make a comparison video? The Epiphone art & 1979 vs the Gibson standard. 👍🏼
The intro riff is sweet :) Is that from a Tool song I missed?
no no
If it was under a Grand I'd be interested.
Man the price for Chinese guitars is getting mental. At this rate of increase even Chibson might be out of my reach.....

Flashy but made in China and priced double of what it should be, based on the fact that it's made in China, no matter how good it may or may not be.

I have a 2021 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul and it looks like it was painted by a child. $5k guitar. I’m not sure this one is a bad deal.
Well if you were familiar with the Norlin era, you’d know Les Pauls of the time were significantly heavier than other LPs
Man, let’s say you just a racist 😂
@@GarthNGuitarshe has no clue. Complaining that the guitar is what it should be.
