    Epiphone or Schecter? Let me know which guitar you liked the most!

    Gibson is definitely not adapting for younger players meanwhile fender is just killing it.

    Ima have to go with the Schecter. IMO the pickups just sound a bit hotter with that heavier crunchier tone.

    The only reason you’d want to forget Gibson is because you can’t afford one.

    I love that you recognize and usually recommend Schecter. I have 3 USA Schecters and I can attest they are some of the finest guitars you will ever play and really do make Gibson and Fender seem overrated.

    Don’t need other guitar brands to forget about Gibson when they keep raising their prices

    Never a metal guy. Never impressed with "shredding". Always blues inspired. Enjoyed the clean, emotional playing of Page, Gilmore, Trower etc. Not interested in coil splitting. That's why I went with the Epi '59 when it went on sale recently. No regrets.

    The Epiphone has a better clean tone, but the Schecter sounds better with distortion IMO. I might have to go with the Schecter though.

    I have the Epi '59 and a Gibson LP '50 standard. The Epi has noticeably more top end sparkle than the Schecter and sounds much closer to my 50 LP standard which has even more top end and clarity. The Schecter sounds darker, so is great for high gain rock/metal. I own several other Schecters (not this one tho) and have found the build quality to be significantly better than most import guitars and certainly better than the Epi '59. If you play with high gain - buy the Schecter, if you play classic rock and clean, then the Epi is the best choice IMO.

    The 2000's made me forget Gibson existed

    I’ve always been an Epiphone fan, and they’ve gotten even better in recent years! Having said that, the Schecter looks and sounds great too. Both excellent choices!

    I have that Schecter -- same model and even same finish -- and it's superb! Great quality, zero issues with it straight out of the box, and it's wonderfully player-friendly. I love it and use it nearly every day. Incredible guitar and extraordinary value. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an LP-style guitar.

    They sounded the same to me, but I definitely love the look of the Schecter!

    “YESSSS, welcome back to the channel” is such a great catchphrase. I want a t-shirt with that printed on it!

    said it multiple times the epi '59 standard outfit is as much a Les Paul as any Gibson I ever played. I own one because of that fact. I Love my Epi!

    Darrell, I think you did an exceptional breakdown of both guitars. I like them both but I'd prefer the warmer cleans and lower type output of the epiphone. However I think the cuts and the higher output of the schecter is exceptional and what a great look it has. Thanks for the vid as always good sir

    I gotta pop in to say I bought the same Schecter last July after you reviewed it. I love it and play it every day. My SG Standard and Custom 24 SE just sit in their stand mostly. I just feel at home on the Schecter. So glad I bought it. Thanks Darrell😁🎶

    I bought the Epiphone in April from Sweetwater. Completely love the sound and vibe that guitar has. Mine is the faded cherry burst.

    Another awesome review Darrell. Thank you. I’m a huge fan of Schecter guitars -I have three Schecter’s already and I am very impressed with Schecter‘s quality for reasonable prices
