- In this video I unbiox and demo a really cool new guitar (to me) which is the Tommy Thayer electric blue Epiphone Les Paul. This guitar is gorgeous! It has some great features including Grover tuners and Seymour Duncan JB pickups. It plays and sounds fantastic. I hope you enjoy the video!

That blue sparkle finish is absolutely gorgeous and the blue SD in the bridge really sets it off nicely.
I really love it. I was awe stricken.
That's such a beautiful guitar... Epiphone has definitely out done their self with this guitar.... I own 2 slash copies and I was very impressed with them....
I agree. They really killed this one!!!
I own the white lightning and what an instrument!!! Well done Epiphone 👏
Awesome man!
Love that finish Epi Les Paul's are great players I've got a yellow burst standard I put a tusq nut and a tone pros bridge I love that thing it's my Zeppelin Paul 🤘👍

😎😎😎 Wow, all little details really highlight great finish, matching case is great finish. Has a really great sound. Congrats.
They did a wonderful job for sure. Thanks!! 😎
For Science, it only makes sense to take it out on the deck, plug it into the Hughes & Kettering and play a Kiss medley !
Haha! In full makeup too! 🙌😎

Yes, Ace is the man. Very cool vid!!
Ace was my first guitar hero. Love Ace. 🤟🏻😎
Kiss fan or not, that’s a pretty guitar. I can definitely respect both. Great video man!
Thanks so much bro. 😎🙌
Love Zzounds! Ordered my Marshall DSL 40cr from them and it was in my living room before noon the next day!
I am very very impressed with them! I would order again from them in a heartbeat. I had my guitar in 1.5 days. Free shipping. 😲
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Absolutely!
Marty…I think the “blemish” was your reflection in the pick guard…hahaha….just joking, you know I love ya bro 😎
Hahahahaha!!! Dude ... I was thinking that. God that angle and my grizzly double chin taking up that pickguard. Good grief. 😂😂😂
COOL GUITAR! BRUCE KULICK IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE KI⚡️⚡️ GUITARIST. LOVE ME SOME 80S KI⚡️⚡️
Bruce was solid man! My favorite is Ace but he sure was a mess. Haha.
I’m an Ace Frehley guy, and I really enjoyed that demo at the end. I bought an R0 from the Nashville GC a year ago today. Might just have to jam on some KISS today. 👍🏼
I'm an Ace guy too ! 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻
Hello, fan!
Thanks for reaching out congratulation 🎁🎊🎉You Won a (Flying guitar )it’s for your Christmas Cheerful send a message above to acknowledge your prize🎁❤..
I had to pre order mine. I ordered it before covid. ,it came a year later. Definitely worth the wait. I LOVE MINE!
I love this guitar too. It's so awesome! 🤟🏻
I know you said it's a blemish, but I can't see it. So you bought it used?
That's a nice looking fiddle Marty.
Thanks man! 😎🤟🏻
Nice guitar Marty, looks and sounds great!
Thanks man! 🙌
The Ace/Kiss seperation was both sides fault. That was never going to work. So I am completely OK with Tommy Thayer stepping in. You are correct if it wasn't Tommy, it would have been someone else. And Tommy stuck around and made it his own as best he could.
And the Hottest band in the world is La Gunns. Tracii Gunns is a beast.
Yeh. Tommy is filling a spot someone else would have if he didn't. I would have done it too. And taken all the heat in the world. lol
Me too! Most Gibson and fender and just a few others! Nice! Congrats! I recently got a epiphone modern bourbon burst and a evh wolfgang! Thanks marty!! Green smoke also goes with any color! Lol
Thanks 🙏
Ive got one being delivered tomorrow. I can't fxxking wait to play it.
Congrats!!!
Sounds great.
Thanks so much!
I'm not crazy about the guitars looks. The blue I'm ok with. Not so much the sparkle. But, I prefer pickups that match. Even if it's like the Zebra style that neck is reversed from the bridge. But, great sound. You should do a few kiss covers. The licks sounded great. I have 3 Epiphones. I think they are ok. Maybe not Gibson Les Pauls but, mine seem to sound pretty good. My first Epiphone Les Paul Classic....I never had good sound out of it. Partly because the amp I had. But. When I got the amp...It sounded good in the store... something must have happened going through the doorway lol. So I ended up getting The Tone Mans Les Paul up grade pre wired pots dropped that in and put a pickup in the bridge. Cant even remeber which one I want to say Seymour Duncan Sh4. Had it set up and now sounds great. I have big fingers and at times struggle to play it. So I never spent the money for a Gibson. But, happy with the sound of my Epiphones. People knock them but, for the price you can beat it. Even if you upgrade. So if you never tried one ...try it at a guitar store. You might be suprised. Especially with the models from about 2015 and up.
Epiphone is killing it! That guitar is beautiful.
Thanks! I agree. This guitar is a fine example of the standards Epiphone are reaching for!
Maybe we think like men but we are just kids with new more expensive toys, love that feeling. Impressive looking guitar.
Totally accurate man! Thanks!! 😎
Real Happy excited for your purchase of the Epiphone Les Paul I just ordered a new Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster I'm so excited about it Hey Blemishes Don't affect Tone and Vibrato and Playability If you can Save your hard earned money to still get a Quality Premium Epiphone Les Paul that's Great I have a Epiphone Les Paul I purchased with Blemishes I love it plus I had money in my pocket and a Quality Premium Epiphone Les Paul I hope you have Many Happy hours playing Your New Epiphone Les Paul Thanks Wishing you all the best forever
Nice man. You'll love that Clapton!
The Hottest Band in the World!! " 2 Winged Ducked Billed Platapie " Featuring No hands Scottie on the Guitar.
I suppose no one likes humor.
😂😂😂
Man that's a nice guitar I've got a Epiphone and don't understand why a lot of people hate on them I know it's not a Gibson but they're the same company and Epiphone does make some hella nice guitars I was actually shocked when I got mine of course I had to get some work done on it but it wasn't because it was abused or mistreated it's just the PCB system really ain't worth the flip but I actually love it and there are a lot of other epiphones that I see I like
I am totally blown away with this thing. Is really amazing. Great guitar. 🤟🏻

My ACE Buddakon book has same ACE autograph
Nice ... love Ace! ♠️
The headstock shape of the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson reminds me of the Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" mouth logo, more than the Gibson "open book" headstock shape. But who cares when you have a guitar like this with this much bling !!!
"I love it loud"
Just about any guitar would sound good through your rig..You won't lose a dime with that purchase..
New strings and a little set up you
might just have "A heavy metal accident"..Nice Marty..Cheers !
Man you need to do lesson videos on how to play these songs I'd love to learn!
I’ve been procrastinating on this model for about 2 years now 🤔🤔 don’t need it but want it ! I’ve got an older Joe Perry Epiphone and a Bonamassa Pelham blue that both came with Gibson BB pickups. Are they like my Gibsons ? No, but pretty darn close ! Didn’t ever think I’d be an Epiphone Les Paul collector but now I think that I “have” to add this one 🤓
I say go for it man. I think these things will be collectible one day. And they are really nice.
I have the same guitar, it's one of my favourite, im surprised they're not more popular really, im in UK and have only seen mine over here
Also I find the sparkle pops a lot more under artificial light, the flakes go rainbow colours whereas in daylight they look more silver, try using a phone torch on it at night
I totally love it!
That looks killer. Let us know how the epiphone compares to a Gibson. It sounds great
It's plays and sounds great. I'd say it stacks up to me Gibsons completely.
Awesome guitar man
Be nice to it! Those Epi necks don't seem to be as sturdy as a USA made one and of course they can beak too. It seems the wood in the Epi's isn't as good or maybe the hard finish shows cracks easier. I have a couple of Epi SG's with finish cracks at the nut.
Hope mine doesn't have any issues. I think this one has mahogany neck and body. Hopefully a nice slab was chosen. Lol
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Being a painted one they probably used a 2 or 3 piece body. From the ones I have had if there is going to be a problem showing up its probably going to be the neck near the nut or the fret board to neck bond. Not nearly as strong as maple. Quartersawn Maple with carbon rods would be nice. But you know who does that. Be careful where you leave it between sets.They don't like being knocked over. I had a Epi SG that broke at the body to neck joint. Easy fix but it was shocking how little wood there is behind that top pickup and the neck joint. Asian Mahogany likes to split. The hard finish is almost a reinforcement in a way. Show it a little extra care and it should be fine.
did it come decently set up. im 15 and i think im gonna get it for cristhmas. but ím just beginning to understand how to setup guitars and dont have money to get a professional to set it up. it would be nice for it to play good out of the box
Yes! It was perfect out of the case. I think Epiphone really focuses a great deal on ensure big these higher end models are set up well. (At least that's my impression). Hope yours is awesome too!
Ive just got one, I think the mirror pickguard is vile, Ive ordered clear knobs, clear pickguard and clear backplates I think its going to look better, great demo!
She's a beauty!
Thanks, it looks even better in person. ☮️
i want that
They're really nice. Epiphone has been doing some great things the past few years for sure.
Just received mine. The bridge pickup is sitting at an angel, not straight. That Normal?
Sounds you have a case of GAS. 😂. My wife has finally gotten used my never ending case of GAS⚡️
GAS bad. 😂😂😂😂😂💯
Congrats! Ya scab. haha Just kidding. 🤣🤣🤣 Looks and sounds like a quality guitar for the money. Personally, I would put a chrome cover over that blue Duncan and swap out the blue volume/tone knobs for chrome cap knobs.
Thanks. I really dig it man. I won't modify it since I like to keep these stock. But I think your ideas are solid man!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Yw, and I understand.
after the honeymoon is it worth it ? Im looking at getting it here as there is 1 on order at a store in Canada.
Yeh it's a really nice guitar. It looks amazing in person. I am very impressed. And I own several Gibsons. I don't think you'll be let down at all.
Marty get's a Tommy Thayer guitar and proceeds to rail ACE FREHLEY on it, with the exception of Lick it up, VV. Ace Frehley, Tommys guitar.
To be fair, Tommy Thayer plays his fair share of Ace songs. Kinda why people know who he is.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar
Ace left for some real good reasons. Control was not part of his deal. He was being controlled by 2 people that wanted it only there way, and if not, the door swung in 1 direction. Ace had plenty to offer the band as in all his talent. The other 2 decided it was not good enough for them and there bank account. The Kulick Brothers proved a point as well. Tommy was always in the background waiting for his chance, then he got his chance. He always wanted to be Ace, but there is only is 1 Ace. The real people that listened to Kiss, know that Ace cannot be replaced by anyone. When he left, I left.
@@standingvertical3048 Yeah Gene and Paul have themselves a cover band. Kiss for me has always been Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter. Watching them as a unit back in the 70s, they had something incredibly special. It’s a shame money and fame tore it apart.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar
Agree 100% } I myself still play along to just about anything Ace has done. He just has that kind of snap to me. Check this guy out>>> { Eastern Suburbs School of Music } He does some real handy work of Ace. No one does it better in my opinion but Ace. You learn from this guy, and you can say you can play Ace, but your not Ace. lol
@@standingvertical3048 Definitely gonna check it out! Now that I’m actually somewhat decent at guitar I’m going back and learning all the stuff I wanted to play growing up. My dad took me to see Kiss in Hershey Park before I was 3.
So. How much was it?
I got it for 599
What's the weight?
Not sure man. I'd venture a guess at 8.5 pounds.
Sorry not a kiss fan . But it's pretty
It's a looker! 😎🙏
What's the point of not saying the price????? Ridiculous
Too boxey sounding so soul
It's not so bad in person. Has Duncan JB's.
A fake Les Paul for a fake Ace Frehley. How apropos.
