    I’m so glad I kept emailing epiphone asking for a Taylor Swift line of affordable j-180s as they haven’t made j-180 in ages. These are recreations of Taylor’s custom j-180 guitars for the Eras tour.
    You can find my post on the epiphone subreddit, and even my suggested colours. Hilariously on the epiphone website they’re listed in the same order of black pink blue green and purple haha

    On my iPhone these guitars sound better than others. Good balance of fundamental and overtones, sparkle, mids, and bass. Others get lost in the recording.

    I just clicked on the link to their website in description of this video. I have to say out the few Epiphones they available for sale without a doubt my choice would be the actual vintage 1944 Zenith for $1,400.

    Epiphone did this just because of Taylor Swift . She’s been playing that guitar for years (the Gibson model ) .
    It’s not coincidence that they made the same guitar and the same colors she uses on the eras tour .

    Love you guys! Love these videos! Every time I need serious Gibson acoustic info for my store (Danville Music), I always come to you guys. Can I ask you guys to do something? I'm sure you're already working on it... but since you are huge lovers of J-200's (Me Too!)... Could you do a video on the new Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop 1957 SJ-200?? I'm dying to know what you guys think about it. I want one, but your opinion is super important to me! :) Thanks!

    Definitely NOT colors I would purchase. I have a wine red J45. It’s nice but I do prefer traditional finish.
    This is maybe the only acoustic body shape/ model from Gibson/Epiphone that I have not played.
    Maybe worth a try in traditional finish.
