2:25 the exact reason i bought this. Fokin hate winter depressions

Oli can play, this is a serious musician.

i love this guitar, but a SS refret takes it's price up even further. It's the best looking Charvel though IMHO. So much so i've been tempted to buy it even though i hate Nickel (allergy). The pickup combo was smart also. Beautiful guitar.

sweet guitar mate! i just bagged a humbucker version epi LP jr for 120USD out the door..used but magical! gonna pop in a "hum90" in the place of the humbucker for more era correct spank n gnarlyness!

I am not very familiar with Fender guitars... Can I lock that bridge somehow?

Is this guitar worth it?

This guitar plays sick the neck is the fastest neck ive ever played my only complaint is no stainless steel frets but nickel is fine and has a good tone. And the frets can be replaced. Id rather have one with a fixed bridge anyways so i dont care about the korean floyd. But for the tone and playability and the look its totally badass. I got mine for 2300$ since my dad got me a 10% military discount. Im happy with it and love how easy it is to restring and play. This is the most badass guitar ive ever played

Whats the amp you play?

Bloody good playing. Loved the review.

Tried a friends 6L6 version. We both just don't get the shared eq. Set a clean sound in channel one, and the drive channel sounds dreadful. Think he is now sticking to the clean channel and using a pedal for drive sounds. What are we missing?

Well this was complete shit for sure. When was the last time thins clown washed his hair?? 1993?? Maybe.

Top heavy. Huge dip when standing and playing.. it’s Decent if you change out the pickups . The neck is only 24.5/8 I had one. Sold it for ESP black metal arrow. It smokes the prophecy every which way. Period. Try an ESP 25.5” scale neck , black ebony fret board and emg 81 pick ups ,the esp black metal arrow , try yourself then play the the prophecy. This guy is blowing smoke up your butt the guitar he’s playing is crap dude it doesn’t feel good in your hands at all compared to ESP or BC rich. Try yourself and you will see this guitar sucks on stage.

Gotta love the ltd flying v arrow guitars i started playing guitar when I was 12.

Like old saying you don't take care of a esp e 2 guitar you get another one for taking care of the first one.

Les paul jrs are my favorite guitar ❤😻

You need a lapel mic dude, can’t clearly hear you, besides your accent though 😂

How woudl you say this compares to a fender player telecaster

❤

I haven't played or felt one yet, but have been wanting to try one. I do a Epiphone LP Standard with P90s but I tend to go to a Squire Stratocaster I have. I've got a older Charvel Stealth that has the Jackson live action pickups< but it tends to stay in the case most of the time. I've had it since July 96. I don't think it'll go any where else.

Why not just get a Les Paul? Gibson has been a douchebag company for decades more noteworthy for stalling progress and making music less accessible. Thats why.

Owned several LTD through the years. Picked up an e-ii a month ago. Haven’t touched anything else since. It’s such a night and day difference between the two.

Thanks brother 😎

i love your tone ,man. i have a katana 50 and i struggle to get tones. would you be able to tell me what frequency you cut and raise? it seems like you have a decent amount of lower mids or something like that. my tone lacks that and is too bright even wit it cut off at 10k. i raise 1k and some surrounding frequencies and then work on the bass side and do a low cut at like 100 -120hz. i understand its only a katana but i feel like i just need to be pointed in the right direction. great video man, one of my dream guitars other then his original esp ones he had back in the day.

I have the misty blue Pro mod dk24 Mexican made and it’s an absolute beast to play and the full shred pup is superb and I love it for metal and rock. I will change to a big brass block for longer sustain but l have had USA made and Japan made and believe me these Mexican made charvels are epic and won’t let you down at all. Personally I prefer my Charvel compared to my Ibanez RG550 Genesis. 👍🎵🎸

The pickups are Nordstrums Big Breaks but are dual linear coils...like a P pickup but in 1 straight pickup cover, 2 linear coils under the pickup cover but not soapbar pickups...a cross between a Jazz & P pickup with a more modern tone...great pickups, i have them on my Ash bodied 5 piece neck Ibanez Sound Gear SR600E....good demo & details...

The P90s are mounted far from Bridge and neck I have one , and cn slap a single coil in that space

Hi, can you compare the original 60 Strat, with the new Vintera 2 Stratocaster 60? Thanks

definitely, these 61 epiphones are crap, don’t let these YT vids steer you into one. Save a few more hundred and get yourself a used Gibson SG standard. The quality is way better, believe me. Go to GC and give both a go and you will see what I mean. The epiphone feels really cheap.

I owned the Gibson Standard SG, and currently own the Epiphone '61 SG Standard. The Epiphone is a superior guitar in every way. Better frets, better neck, equal pickups, and I like the satin finish better than the high-gloss nitro. And I HATE tiny frets with binding on the ends. Epiphone wins this one (at least with the '61).

I threw some Fralin Firebird pickups in my Epi and it sounds better than my buddies USA Firebird.

Well, I just bought two used ESP Horizon NTs (one with the old block logo, one was a Japanese E-II import, the Amethyst Sparkle), and I paid less than my friend who got a new Eclipse LTD. So that’s the way to go if you ask me :)

I am about to own one just like this

I thought you were playing the gibson first. It sounds great. No need to put gibson pups in it. I can't stop watching these firebird videos. Pots are easy to change and cheap.

I find so hillarious that every vid on this guitar everyone is so extra gentle with the whammy bar hardly using it at all incase is goes out of tune hahahaha just a little tickle haha

Bought the Gibson/Epi korina 58 and it sounds ridiculous good , waiting for my Black V right now , probuckers sound good in the V

Just got one today, and made my father in law try it. He has played pretty much every guitar laiho had at the time medeia and bodom did a tour together and said it feels incredibly similar to alexi's guitars.

Original body was a 2nd

11:19 Maybe things have changed in two years, but the M1000s are listed as neck-through on ESP's website.

I'm so pissed I missed out on these

I think they missed the memo on ''figured'' when naming or picked the wood for this guitar..

The Floyd Rose 1000 is just as good as the OG Floyd and is made in Korea. They are both made with grade 8 steel and the only downside to a Floyd Rose 1000 is if you get the black chrome model (the gray one) the finish tends to fade over the years. I have actually had Floyd Rose 1000s that were better than one of the German Original Floyd Roses I have

In a word…………er yes

JUST got the Epiphone yesterday! woot!

Awesome video, I've ordered a Platinum pearl and still waiting for it, I should receive it this week, and I just can't wait anymore :P Keep it up and wish you the best :)

$1,000, I can do better on another sg and upgrade.

Hi - did you have any issues with neck. Dive?

How about "MIJ" on the back, or "MIJ CUSTOM SHOP"? They could have differentiated on the back of the headstock. Or maybe, just maybe, different letter in front of the serial numbers...

Can hardly hear the cleans.

Thank you for the review ! Are the seymour Duncan Sentient and pegasus a Good alternative to active pu like emg ?

I wonder if i tune this one to C standard will it be good? I'm playing mostly in C ty \m/
