#Andertons #InspiredByGibson #EpiphoneVsGibson - Hudba
Pete has been such a great addition to the Anderton’s team. Has drastically increased the quality of playing and he seems like a great guy to boot! Love how every solo doesn’t start with a bend at the 15th fret 👍
It's also refreshing how he's not Pointlessly Shredding with absolutely no Melody, and when Demonstrating a Bluesy, Jazzy or Classic Rock Guitar, he doesn't just do Noisey Metal Shredding trying to fit in as many notes as possible with no Musicality to it.
Pete is like Lemmo from Norm's Rare Guitars, his playing makes you inspired to want to play your Guitar and learn their arrangements.
Rob's playing is Absolutely Repellent and makes you hope you never sound like that kind of Guitar Player.
Back in Chap days I was checking out Anderton's vids only when they reviewed stuff I was interested in, because I can't stand Chap's obtrusive scale noodling. Now I'm checking out Anderton's vids, because they are playing fun stuff and vibing :)
All of them have their own something. I liked the way how Chappers and Lee teased each other and I like Pete's accent and sense of humour. Of the two I like Pete's playing better, but I like Rabea the most. There were a few occasions when he jumped in for Chappers and he can play just so much better. A real session musician: you tell him to play jazz, he does it, you tell him to change to nu-metal, and boom, there he goes just to suddenly change to blues or something completely different. But honestly I like the whole crew and I'm enjoying any Anderton's show every now and then.
Johann Daart Videos with Chapman are fun. He is a cool guitar player. You can hear what the guitar or the amp can do with Rob as well.
@@GenosGlory His playing bores me to death. If it's interesting for you, have fun ;)
“Everything sounds so similar when blindfolded” - Danish Pete, 2020
Profound..
Tone wood debate over
Looks the same too
I think I can tell the difference, one gets harder, other gets moist...
Are you going to do the modern maple capped one? Have my beady eye on one and work in Guildford.......
5:31 That Riff has basically turned in to a meme at this point xD
Hilarious riff
Dont josh the captain ;)
Lind I’ve been away from the channel for a year or two and I’m so glad to come back and see how that riff progressed from unnoticed to basically Cap’s signature riff lol
Love the half eye roll Lee gives to the camera when he hears it now.
I’ve just started playing again a little over a month ago. Disabled now due to brain injury and can’t afford a super expensive guitar. Picked up a used Epiphone SG super cheap because it had a few dings in the finish. Gave it a proper setup and it’s one of the best playing guitars I’ve ever put my hands on and I didn’t have to spend a lot of money. I know it’s not as nice as a Gibson, but I sure do love playing it and isn’t that the point?
Anyways, great video, keep up the good work.
@Patrick podd Strandberg Just got the epi modern figured top. Beautiful all around!
Playing again after a brain injury? Hats off to you as you are the type of person I admire. My first guitar was a $5.00 piece of junk which I bought with my paper round money. My second guitar was a decent Hummingbird copy which I still have to this day which I bought at Rose Music in Perth Western Australia in 1973 and I bonded with it for life. I am now 64 and help poor kids get and set up cheap guitars so that they play half decent. As I said, hats off to you for getting back into guitar playing as it will give you enjoyment and may possibly assist in healing your injury as the brain is stimulated when we read and play music. Chris Mac AUSTRALIA
@@chrismac9640 thanks. It has, if nothing else, given me more of a feeling of peace. I definitely don’t play the same as I did before, but I’ve been learning to alter my playing style and make music and have fun.
Since making this comment a few months back, I’ve also built my own tele style guitar. It took much longer than it would have before the injury, but with patience (and a solderless wiring kit, can’t solder very well anymore) and care, I managed to do what I think was a good job. Was quite the sense of accomplishment.
Thank you for your kind words, and I love hearing stories of people helping to get children in to music! Bless you!
@@GrandaddyJeff Is it an older one? I have an Epiphone G400 from 1996. No veneer, made in Korea and really well made. Those are the best ones but the newer ones are fine. If you replace the pickups on the older ones they are excellent. I have guitars that are worth many times more what the Epi cost me second hand but the Epi is one of my favourites.
A good guitar for you is a good guitar, regardless of make. Play on and best to you.
I love that the 'Lee riff' trolling is becoming a thing 😆
Isn't that wicked fun?
is it this one? 5:30
Look at Lee’s face when he plays it 😂 5:30
Haha
Lmao!! I’m glad others think the same
As others have said, love that Pete does these now. His playing is ridiculously good, but he also plays many different riffs and even styles.
Everyone wondering where some people have gone. Nothing against “some people” but it doesn’t get any better than Danish Pete. A master of every genre and with a guitar in his hands I can actually hear what the guitar sounds like. Not everyone wants to simply shred the frets off the neck. Keep it up Anderton’s.
tylerrose2891 I agree. Chapman is such an utterly classless player 9 times out of 10. Just wankery all up and down the neck. Obnoxious.
@@garonmartin1756 agreed...playing nu-metal in your 50s..twattish..
Garon Martin Not to speak ill of Chappers but it’s almost like he’s a bit of a one trick pony. Yes he can play a million notes a minute with 5 gain pedals stacked on top of each other. Great for some people. Not so great for others. And let’s be honest. With certain guitars, most people expect to hear a certain style of music. There just seems to be more variety when Pete is involved.
It’s fine to dislike his playing, but I’m sure that he can play better than you two slating him, so why insult his playing? If you don’t like it say so, don’t insult the man. He’s made a living through his guitar playing and inspired loads of people to pick up guitar, can you say the same?
Rob was a big help when I started up again, And I've seen a couple songs that hes done with his new band where he played well within the Song, With great feel, And Emotion, He is a very capable Guitar Player, To give him his due, And I'd like to see everyone Just continue their journeys and keep playing music! Rock on anderton's
Please do a tutorial of the “captain” lick...
Not enough gain we can hear what the guitars sound like.
Makes waaayyyy more sense in the old format where u blindfold challenge first THEN go thru all the details and compare
Indeed! It isn't makes sense to me by playing first both guitars and then, after talking regard the specs, finishing, tones, etc ... then do the blind test.
Yeah, played them.. So know how they feel and sound then do blindfold, don't get it
Haha, so awesome! I actually prefer the batwing pick guard. But Epiphone has knocked it out of the park with the SG lineup. I just picked up the Epiphone SG Standard, total beast!!!
"Man, I'm just a guitar disguised as a guitar, disguised as another guitar." - Epiphone 2020
Definitely a guitar Kirk Lazarus would own!
I always reasoned like this: if i buy the Epi instead of the Gibson, I'll have 1000 quid to spend on something else. And when I'm at home playing the Epi, will I be constantly annoyed by the difference? I once bought a Squier bass, and yes, in the shop the Fender sounded much better, but at home I never felt I missed it.
I have a Gibson SG, honestly compared to what you can get for the same money in other brands, I would not recommend buying one if money is an object.
Frits van Zanten that’s a good outlook to have. I also think if anyone spends more than £1,000 on a electric guitar it has to be special and unique and incredible and made in Japan or USA or similar. It HAS to be worth the money. I recently on line bought a fender performer telecaster HUM for a sale price of £869 and immediately returned it . Although it was nice for sure it simply was not worth the money to me when compared to other guitars I have. (Including other fenders etc)
You can get used to any sound. A crate with a 90 dollar pedal with a cheap guitar will sound just fine if that’s all you play . Doesn’t mean it’s bad or good but it’s hard to tell a difference unless you’re doing back to back comparisons
Been listening to that Captain Lee Riff for the past 6 years AT LEAST
My first guitar was an Epiphone SG I got in 1996. Still play it now and would absolutely get another as I've had so much fun with it over the years.
Derek Trucks is amazing!
If B.B. King says "that's as good as I've ever heard" you know your hearing the best.
But we still love you Pete.
The Captain's playing around 27:00 shows how good he's gotten. Killer playing Cap!
Agreed! However, I have to say, the boys doing the "Lee lick" makes me laugh every time! Anyway, pay them no mind Lee. Clearly, you're putting in the work. :)
Pete is mint. The kinda guy you'd enjoy working with each day. I'd let him marry my sister but she's got big hands and curly teeth. Regarding the SG great stuff in both formats.
Oh God you killed me at curly teeth! But yeah pete is a great guy
10:10 It's crazy how bad the veneer looks on the Epiphone. It honestly looks like a sticker or an after thought thrown onto the body to make it feel #authentic. They should have gone for a light poly finish instead, it would have looked better, felt better and been cheaper in the long run.
Honestly the only good looking SGs are the classic worn and the muse because they don't have that veneer
@@croc3862 The solid black or white ones, the modern, the custom, or the special don't have veneers either.
They put the veneers on to hide how many pieces the body are.
@@RoachDoggJr2112 The weirsdest part is that the cheaper Epiphone SG Classic Worn is a 2-piece mahogany body and every single one I've seen is well matched but they use a silly looking veneer on the more expensive and luxurious '61 SG.
You could tell which was the Gibson and which was the Epiphone right aaay
Tony Iommi has played a SG for 50 years! Black Sabbath for life!!
It would be interesting to see how the same epiphone and gibson model would stand up after 1 year of use. To see if the better construction holds up better after the tes of time.
Actually shed tears when I saw your NAMM coverage of the '61 SG with maestro...
That intro sounded amazing! Superb playing guys.
This video sold me and I purchased an Epiphone SG Standard back in July, and absolutely love it, couldn't be happier... 😁🎸🤘
I'm back at an andertons video after a while but the quality is still on point.
Love you guys.
And that slides were sick.
Captain, we need a tutorial on the lick
Pete and Bea doing the Lee lick in videos recently is the greatest thing i have witnessed on the internet.
These jams keep getting better with every video I watch. 🙂 keep up the good work guys! 🎸👌
It was surprising that the Epiphone SG Standard that has the Alnico Classic pickups sounded brighter / better than the ‘61 with the Probuckers in this test.
I just got a new Epiphone SG standard in alpine white. Not only is it a gorgeous guitar, it plays wonderfully. One of the best Epi guitars I have played.
The blindfold after you've been playing them kind of negates the whole thing
Picking Power isnt there more than just sound? Also playability
Yeah but then they wouldn’t know which one to favor
That C major 3rd at 28:13 was so satisfying to hear.
AWESOME review, guys!
Love the Lee and Pete vibe. They work very good together. Pete is a very versatile and tasteful player (so is the Captain) without being a show-off.
10:20
You can hear the trem arm hitting the toggle switch and you can see the arm resting against it when Lee is doing the closeup
I picked up 2 Murphy Lab SGs and they both did the same thing. I guess you either leave it forward and use it during the whole song , or rotate it the long way around and leave it out for the whole song. I was disappointed though.
...I'm not missing him either. Great video guys.
Chappers Chap?
No one is, it's time Andertons moved on.
I enjoy ALL of the presenters and personalities. Without Rob it feels a little QVC/HSN ish
@@NyneForte so more professional then, yep I'd say that was a massive improvement. No dig at Rob at all his time at Andertons was great he made it what it is today, but everything changes as do people. I'd love if Rob could reinvent himself over on his own channel and give us even more content.
Really? Chappers rocks!
24:31 *Love how Captain is referring that he's holding the Gibson while he's actually holding the Epiphone*
I own a Epiphone SG Standard and it's so nice. I can put it thru any amp and sounds amazing. Plays like butter. I actually prefer it over the Gibson model. Very awesome guitar.
Which model?
Lol
I totally agree with Pete on the 'slink' feel in some Gibsons. I have two Gibson sg's and my 2019 stnd feels the teeniest bit more slinky than my 2018 special, which actually feels pretty taught to some other Gibsons. I believe its mostly to do with how the bridge and stop bar are set up. That break angle over the bridge down to the stop bar is unique on most guitars and I find mine play best when I find the balance between the two adjustments.
I really enjoyed that, thank you guys!. I'm expecting my Epiphone sg standard to arrive today , can't wait
I really hate when they put veneers on. Especially this kind. Just leave it natural!
A cheep veneer ruins a guitar.
Amen!
It's almost as if they ugly them on purpose. (Just like when they insist on having a different headstock on Les Paul Epi.)
I had two great sounding Epiphones years ago. 500 dollar price range. Once I realized how fake the finishes were it actually annoyed me. Looked too much like a toy. Sold them and got a gretsch.
In this case I’d say yeah but I had a flamed veneer on a Ibanez RGA42fm that was really nice and wasn’t over the top flamed so it looked legit, these have way too much chatoyance and are significantly darker than the wood on the bevels or neck. I would have preferred seeing even a 3 piece body under the it than this
Funny thing, you guys finish playing and the say Hey Derrick. My name is Derrick and you posted this on my birthday. Thanks for the shout! ahahaha
happy birthday
The inspired line is right up my alley. I always go for the cheapest best sounding guitars.
Me too bud.
Thank you Andertons! Good job fellas!
Another great intro jam!! You two are going to have to do an official recording!
The SG muse is the one I was most impressed with finish wise. The white with sparkle is what’s up.
I wanted to buy one of these Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola in Vintage Cherry for a while. I went down to my local Guitar center here in Las Vegas and they had one in stock. I held it, the neck is outstanding the fret work is wonderful, the wood grain and color were so beautiful. I tuned it up and played a few cords and check the tuning, for sure it was out of tune. I fooled around trying to keep it in tune for three hours and became totally discouraged because this guitar was beautiful. So I did the only reasonable thing, I said to the salesman I am going to flip this Guitar Center pick, "blank side it stays here written side I buy it". It landed on written side so home with me it went, and boy am I glad it did. The next day I set out to find out why it wouldn't stay in tune and I discovered why, (fixed it) and now it's hard to knock it out of tune. First the tuning keys were loose and the screws holding the tuners on were striped from the factory, so i fixed that. Second the angle on the Vibrola is wrong from the factory, you need to tweak the angle and shim the Vibrola slightly, the E-string should not be touching the trem bar while in the resting position. Now i polish the frets and did a complete set up. This guitar now when using the Vibrola as intended will stay in tune wonderfully. This guitar is a great guitar and if you take the time and put in the work to set it up properly, YOU WILL LOVE THIS GUITAR! I think that from the factory they just assemble the parts and are done, not realizing or having the time that it needs to make this fine guitar function together as a whole instrument. Glad I took the time and made the purchase. This is an amazing Gibson Guitar after the corrections are made. I Have no connection with Gibson and I am not a professional Luthier, so if i can fix it this guitar is fixable.
Thank you
That's funny. I did essentially the same thing in the sense I live in Las Vegas and bought a Gibson '61 Maestro SG from Guitar Center. I didn't have near the the problems you seemed to have had. I was a bit worried because I had heard rumors that the vibrola term is not stable. I changed the strings (I play hybrid 9s), polished the frets, conditioned the fretboard and checked that the tuner nuts were properly tightened. At first I felt my fears may have been justified, but after playing the guitar for a bit, it seemed to "break in," the tuning stabilized and now it play like a champ. Mine was a 2021 straight out of the shipping box, so maybe Gibson QC tightened up a bit? But it is definitely an awesome guitar.
@@anabidingdude8079 Thank you my fellow Las Vegan Dude, I still love my SG its a keeper. I would love to buy from the Captain at Andertons but i live in Las Vegas and Coedy treats me good at the Las Vegas Guitar Center. Cheers!
@@MPNNag That’s another thing we have in common, I bought my SG from Cody as well. He’s a good guy. Rock on, brother!
That slide solo was from heart.
Really cool video !!! Love the Gibson SG :) Great outro jam
Phenomenal intro 👋👋👋👋
Glad you enjoyed it! The guys have been practising... 😉
For the money, the Epiphone wins hands down.
HYPE!!!! I have been waiting for this Ephiphone 2020 SG vs Gibson shootout video!
Granddaddy Jeff- Hey man, I'm disabled too with a head injury! After a slow crawl back up and am working on getting my thing back. Thanks for the post!
Lol, that Epiphone look like a '70s station wagon with the fake wood panels. They should have just painted it a solid color.
E C so true. Even before this new 2020 line, the red epiphone SGs wood grain always looks a little weird
They've been using a veneer for the top and bottoms of the cherry SG G400 Pros for a long time, my 2016 has it, but it's a lot better matched to the colour of the sides than these ones and it's bad QC imho, it looks too garish under strong lights.
They're covering up how many pieces the body is, personally I wouldn't care as long as it's 3 or 4 pieces that are matched fairly well.
They've done it on some years and not others. I find the veneer tops horrid. I like a cherry or walnut SG, but for Epiphones, sight unseen, I'd feel much better ordering a solid colour. That being said, I feel like I've seen many more unveneered or better matched veneers over the years than the shit I've been seeing in these early videos... They are really bad...
My Epi is solid wood, and looks pretty much the same as a Gibson - unless you look in my wallet.
Part of what made me go with the Epiphone over the Gibson (other than the massive price difference), was the fact the Epiphone SGs are available in a Polar White finish, whereas the Gibsons are only currently offered in Candy Apple Red (which are incredibly common) and Ebony (which look ok, but don’t particualry do much for an SG-style guitar imho). Crisp, bright white with silver hardware on the other hand looks amazing and since the guitars sound so incredibly similar, it was an easy choice.
Just ordered one of those too. The value for money on them is huge.
I have always liked the sound of SG's when they have that Lyre tailpiece. It adds a top end resonance that makes the pickups sound open and sweet. I preferred those in this video as well.
THAT INTRO WAS SICK!!! HELL YEAH!
Love this, I just got an 2020 epiphone sg P90 worn cherry.. and it came out of the box with no issues and is a great player. Talking about playing, I am so happy to see yet another video with Lee and Pete together. Their chemistry is so much better then what Lee and Rob ever had. Keep up the good work fellows :-)
Lee: "Who wouldn't want an SG."
Pete: "I don't have one."
Perfect chemistry XD
if the Epi's still have Poly finishes then i can't imagine it being hard to tell the difference. the smell of a nitro cellulose finish is unmistakable
I don't have any nitro guitars, describe the smell lol
@@Xxmeca421xX It smells toxic
@@Xxmeca421xX Some people say it smells like play doh.Its not to far off to my nose,but not exact.
Great intro Jam lads
I love listening to the both of you jam. This video inspired me to purchase the ebony Epiphone SG Standard. Many thanks! Can you do a comparison between the Gibson and Epiphone SG modern? They are two toned and have maple caps. Additionally, can you do a demo of some iPad interfaces such as the irighd2?
i prefer the epiphone in terms of what it looks like (and i prefer the larger pickguard)
"No sharp fretjes"
Dutch Pete living up to his name
Volv Danish
@@barrycreed9886 Yes, but -je is a Dutch diminutive.
love watching Pete play......... so effortless.
I'm glad i stayed for the jam in the end!
I don't know what's about those venners, but I'm really digging it
Yeah I actually like them
Epiphone will be stronger (scarf joint, poly finish) but Gibson will sound and play better (plek setup, better pickups). After decent luthier setup and pickup swap you can get Epi very close to Gibson, but added cost will be almost at Gibson level as well. You get what you pay for.
Wow! the rarely seen true statement.
in case of gibson you most definetly do not get what you pay for. Considered their pricing, there are far far to many Gibsons out there with imperfections, sloppy craftsmenship and messed up electronics. I bought a 2018 SG special for 450 bucks last year, in practically brand new condition and this guitar is a good guitar for that price - but not for three times that, which is what Gibson was asking for that guitar in the first place. The electronics already start to fail on me (the switch seems to be the problem) and the fingerboard to neck transition is the worst of any of my guitars - while it is the most expensive among them.
Take any midpriced far eastern guitar, mod them to absolute bizarre insane levels including a professional set up and even a professional refinish, you still easy are 500 bucks under most of Gibsons pricing.
@@ithemba Says the guy with the squier
@@BENJIR2D2 don't know what you're talking about, don't now nor have I ever owned a squier. Closest thing would be my custom singlecut partscaster with a kinda rare asymetrical fender tele neck.
I did own a fair number of different guitars over the years, most I bought used, and by this point there is nothing that I haven't at least done once (like stripping and refinishing, doing the complete electronics, setting up a neck and doing a fretjob) but also having luthiers do all these things to my guitars.
I owned different Ibanez, Hagstroms, Epiphones, all manufactured in different countries in the far east, I owned guitars manufactured in europe, I owned ones handmade by luthiers - there were great ones among them and ones less so. The only general thing I would derive is: price is rarely a good indicator for quality.
I don't think you would pay a luthier 2000 for a setup. When you buy a Gibson you are paying for extremely man-hour expensive and boutique finishing processes, and the brand name.
Fxx awsome! Pete being a crazy legend at the end 🤘
Ive got an Epi 61 SG with Grovers in natural brown.Looks and sounds great!
5:29 I love how this is becoming an Andertons meme haha
It's now mandatory to troll Cap with his signature riff.
Love your chops DP
490R/490T are thee quintessential SG pickups.
That SG with the Maestro looks freaking gorgeous, man, I’d definitely buy one of those.. gives off major George Harrison vibes and I love it
I bought an Epiphone G-400 pro in January 2019 and I’m totally happy about that, haven’t tried the new 2020 range yet but for an amateur I guess they’re definitely more than enough... mine is a killing hard rock/bluesy machine 🤘🏻 I’m still dreaming about a Gibson one though... only for the brand on the headstock 👍🏻
Get a Epiphone SG Standard and replace the pickups with Gibson pickups for like $200 bucks more and you pretty much have a Gibson SG like $1000 cheaper.
I’ve noticed there’s not been a lot of rob lately on the channel ...and I LOVE IT!
Got the sg 61 at andertons a few weeks ago, absolutely love it, every time I visit I leave with at least one guitar, even caught a glance of the captain while I was having a pint. Can't wait for my next trip to guildford 😆
11:44 Back In Black will never be illegal. Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
Suggestion: Epiphone 2019 vs. Epiphone 2020. Do all the revisions make a big difference in playability and sound?
They seem to make an enormous NEGATIVE difference in quality
@@loosabway3400 What does that even mean? Do you own a number of samples from both years or are you just talking out your ass?
Great Vid ! Had a Westfield SG years ago which got stolen, really missed it - just bought an Epiphone & I love it !
I love listing to Pete's sound such great tone he has a great boogie style of playing.
I want a Gibson reissue nighthawk. Just trying to speak it into existence. Good vid.
I absolutely love Epiphone,I have a Sheraton that is hands down the best sounding guitar I ever played.I did a version of Alvin Lee's "Goin Home"" on it.(His Wife Dug My Version).Poly Finish an all ,and it totally kicked tail !! Epiphone is the "Working Man's Guitar"! BTW Lee your soloing is really sounding great! Kudos to Danish Pete also.As far as guitar veneers,who gives a flip,if it is a great sounding axe ! Tone over Aesthetics!
Loving the Gibson SG 61 with Viola.....Oh my Sweet Lordy! 😮
I for one like the cpt kick! It has become a staple that allows to compare different guitars playing the same lick. Never change Lee!
2021 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Koa was the very best Les Paul of 2021 hands down and the 2021 Epiphone modern figured Sgs were the very best Sgs of 2021 hands down
I love Epiphone (they sound great, feel great in the hands), however the veneer clash is too dramatic a difference, choose veneers that blend better or don't use any at all.
It really depends on the serial number. I had the option to choose between many SG 2020 and they all had different veneers. Some looked great, some looked bad.
Pelham Blue FTW
Killer outro . Inspired to get the gear set up this half term.
In 2007, Epiphone did a limited run of an SG called the G400 custom, which is similar to a Gibson SG custom from around '63. It had that Maestro vibrola on it. I do believe however that the Epiphone 61' SG is the first production, non-limited edition model to get the Maestro vibrola.
I have a 2008 "Les Paul Standard Mahogany LTD" Epiphone that has the same veneer on the front and back rather than showing the grain of the actual mahogany underneath. I think they do that so that they can make the bodies using pieces of mahogany that aren't book-matched.
It just looks like these ones weren't well-matched to the sides, bad QC.
@@ewetoo Nah, they're all like that. The veneer is slightly darker.
These shootouts would be improved if Pete did not play the guitars first before putting on the visor.
Tim Volk -they’re just having fun. Y’all with your scientific expectations need to calm your tits.
They work in a guitarshop.....do you really think they haven't allready handled and/or played these beforehand?
@@keesketsers5866 That can be arranged. The guitar shop has employees and the production crew can handle the rest. No reason why Anderton and Pete cannot get handed fresh guitars.
Don't be so negative. Sheesh!
I always love to hear Danish Pete playing ! 🤩
Stunning! I want one!!
Talking of SG’s, could you do a comparison of a Gibson and Epiphone 1275 (without playing Stairway, obvz)?
Definitely my next guitar! They're awesome!
I think the SG is making it on all our guitar wish lists... 😉
Be careful with the Maestro Vibrolas they can be a little bit tedious with tuning. Expect to tweak the tuning after every song
@@vinniesmyyth334 yeh my mates got one with a vibrola on it and it goes out a lot. Both my guitars now already have trem systems so I'll probs get an sg without the vibrola
Love that the guys take jabs at the captain for his riff. His playing has made huge leaps over the years and it's fun to laugh at where he was. The video editing is top notch.
7:20 "So the 61 Gibson..." Pete immediately begins tuning 😁
Great vid...Somehow its just not the same without Chappers tho...i miss that big loon..
When they say it sounds more 'open' what do they mean ? As for the veneer. Lets face it most of use will only play it in our homes so what does it matter ? I think the black ones probably wouldn't look so severe and they did sound good.
I fouken love your channel you guys make it easier to make a decision on What to buy do you have a video on the epiphone custom sg .
Pete said “Super Duper” with that accent and my day has been made.
