@@xcx8646 I absolutely agree with you - so that makes 2 of us out there that HATE Hi Gain Angus Young is a great example of a great heavy rock sound without 10ning the gain Power Tube sound is it. Cheers !
Me, yesterday: I'm quite pleased with the guitars I already have. I don't have to buy another, say, Les Paul. Me, today: *sees this, as a Les Paul lover* Ah, sh*t...
Playing Johnny Thunders on the LP Special was a fucking dope move!!! Hell yeah man. Rocks Off on the Junior was wonderfully appropriately as well. You have won me over and earned yourself a new fan.
The white les paul custom sounds darker when compared to the 50s and 60s series. It DOES NOT have a maple cap (carved top) that Gibson puts on all their les pauls with carved top. The 50s and 60s series epiphones do include the maple cap.
Couldn’t help at the end of intro but go “you gotta be your selllllff you can’t be no one ellllsse” “I’m feeling Super Sonic, Give me Gin and Tonic...” !!!
Great demo. I have owned a few Epiphones over the years and in my experience I think that the Probucker pickups are easily the best they have produced and far better than the Classic PRO. Listen to the difference between the three SGs. The Standard SG 61 with the Probuckers really stands out over the other two which both have Classic PROs.
Until I get my hands on one I guess I wont truly know how good these are. But, they sure look & sound decent and good things are being said about them. I truly hope they are great cuz I want about 4 of them lol. That's 60's looks great ..i want to see the Bourbon finish as well. I'm already sold on a black 60's...maybe an SG too....bank account could be suffering soon 🤣🤣 Oh ya...and a Pelham blue modern ....👍🏼👍🏼
I've been on the hunt for a certain Gibson LP70s model I think 76. It had no bindings. A deep dark blue finish that seemed to have metal dust in it. Looked dark in normal light but in a spot or bright light the guitar shined brilliantly blue. Wasn't like a jr or other similar model didn't have a flat top like those. Thought it might be a studio but none of the examples I've seen match due to being a burst or some other scheme. I saw the guitar around 79 or 80 was offered the sale of $600 for it but I could not come up with that kind of money on short notice. That guitar played awesomely and wish I could've caught that deal. Sadly the owner was leaving town the next morning.
Dude. I dig watching your videos .Peach did great getting you to play these instruments When I make it across the pond I'm coming to PEACH ...that store is badass.
I have several series of epiphone les paul (standard, custom, tribute) ..great guitar with affordable prices I upgraded the standard and custom series with the Seymour Duncan SH1 (4 conductors), the sound is very similar to the Gibson, the split coil sound is crazy too (close similar to Strat or Tele) ...
For so long ive wanted to buy a Gibson but could never justify the cost. Now that ive reached the point in my life where i could possibly afford what i want i cant find a Gibson with the look and basic setup i want. NO COILTAPPING! Harley Benton has a AAAA flamed LP copy with desert burst or Epi has the majave fade i think. Change out the hardware and pups. I would love to own a Gibson and someday maybe i will but its going to take awhile for them to get it together.
@@xjohn1970 I have 3 Gibson guitars, because I am a Gibson fanboy and you don't need to convince me about Gibson, but made in China doesn't always mean cheap and bad. My Guild D150CE is made in China. It still costs 1500 USD (street price maybe 200 less), it's all solid wood (spruce/rosewood) and I can tell you that I bought it because similar priced US made Martin´s I tried were not as good. You can't dismiss a guitar based on country of origin until you try it. Fun fact is when it comes to Electrics (I have 7) the guitar I play the most it's my 199 Euro Ibanez. The neck is the most comfortable. I recently started to take lessons again and at every lesson I brought a different guitar, which my teacher got to try. He told me the Ibanez is so far the best.
@@xjohn1970 You do realize that you pay for the name GIBSON when you buy one. I could get an epiphone les paul and throw in some decent pickups and it will be the same. You dummy! lol
Picked up a 61 Reissue Maestro SG a couple months ago through reverb from Trogleys. Turned out to be a pretty decent guitar stays pretty well in tune even with the tremolo system.
I have the 2019 Epiphone exclusive deluxe G400 Sg pro - AAA Flame Maple top - Epiphone vintage classic Alnico V humbuckers - CTS volume and tone pots - Epiphone deluxe 18:1 Tuners - top hat knobs with Metal inserts - engraved serial number - Gold hardware so my point is Epiphone started the changes in 2019....
Put Gibson pickups and you have yourself an amazing sounding and looking guitar, I got the 60s with Gibson p94t in the bridge and Gibson burstbucker pro in the neck, yes they cost almost half of the guitar price but it is a keeper!
Buying a lower priced guitar is the most logical opportunity to install pickups that you prefer. In one way, it is irrelevant what you paid for the guitar vs the price of the "upgrade" and in another way, if anything it is a much better scenario considering the upgrade gets you what you want and you paid a low price for the guitar,..You are all the better for it.
The Bourbon Burst modern I received is incredible with the weight relief. Except the red was almost not there on the face. Almost looks more like more a tobacco burst? But the lighter weight just blew me away after all these years.
That 50s epi sounds just like the old les pauls , that's the one I will get. the 60s only has a glued in neck. 50s neck goes right in for more wooden tone. Great review. Sabbath at the end just epic.
ceadian rock what do you mean by «The 60s only has a glued in neck. 50s neck goes right in for more wooden tone»?:) yeah that end part with the pelham blue SG was incredible🤘
Those new epi's are looking / sounding great but that amp makes them awesome ... was it the powered up Dr Z and if so which model / cab configuration is it ?
Tried them in a shop great guitars, sound and feel, but 2 of 6 were cuting out on higher frets, bad setup. I think I'm going to buy modern epiphone in pelhan blue.
I would just buy Gibson USA Les Paul from start. the Epiphones are cheap Chinese made. The real Gibson USA Les Paul Plays and sounds amazing & there set up properly and Plek frets. cost of 2 Epiphone cheaply made from china get you into a Real Gibson USA Les Paul
@@xjohn1970 to be honest I don't quite believe that but we all have different opinions, they are amazing for the price, spend another 100 for a good setup and it's a dream, I have a Gibson lp special and I tried epiphone and I really like the feel and sound, especially with new probucker pickups :D but at least we have something to talk about. All the best!

Have a epi 60s tribute with the gibson 57s in it & absolutely love it...want to check out the jrs..does the specials come with the p 90s??..wouldnt mind seeing that one also
I own a 2019 G400 PRO with the alnico classic PRO pickups, @5:47 these do not sound anything like them, they arent as bright as these are, don't get your hopes up, but a pedal could benefit from them.

Quite pleased? What are you ? A fuckin accountant ! I love my guitars bro
Dude!! You played the SONG "Black Sabbath" on the Pelham Blue SG?!? You get a thumbs up, a smile and I'm buying you a beer if I ever meet you!!
Bought that guitar an hour ago. Because of Tony Iommi. Now seeing this demo... Man, I knew I was right!
That boy can play... now I know what my Pelham Blue could sound like.
Guitar shop owner: so which epiphone guitar you want?
Me: yes
It sounded like Oasis, the first lick.... ;-) I like where Gibson is going with Epiphone. It was about time they did something to promote the brand!
I tolally agree.
And the first lick is "Supersonic" by Oasis. 😃
Definitely Supersonic. The tone is spot on.
im feelin supersonic, give me gin and tonic
Why do I suddenly want a Gin and Tonic?
I need to be myseeeeelf
Well done with supersonic. Originally played on an epiphone les paul by Noel.
he's a wonderful guitar player. great tribue to sabbath at the end
9:15
There are many great guitars not made in China
Randy Weir whatever
And the ABBA!
Ha! Never thought I'd hear Abba get referenced in an SG demo video. Brilliant playing Sir😂👍🤘
They sound Killer!.....love that they've gone back to the old Kalamazoo headstock style
Playing Johnny Thunders on the LP Special was a fucking dope move!!! Hell yeah man. Rocks Off on the Junior was wonderfully appropriately as well. You have won me over and earned yourself a new fan.
The opening riff Supersonic and the closing Sabbath sounded really cool. The cherry p90 sg is the one I'd like to have
My choice as well.
The white les paul custom sounds darker when compared to the 50s and 60s series. It DOES NOT have a maple cap (carved top) that Gibson puts on all their les pauls with carved top. The 50s and 60s series epiphones do include the maple cap.
When the custom Les Paul originally came out it only had mahogany on the guitar.
That store space looks incredible! Kudos for the time, effort and money in creating such a stunning store. I wish there was one near me.!
Waiting for the Les Paul Specials to arrive!
I pre ordered one a couple weeks ago should be in by late March
Couldn’t help at the end of intro but go “you gotta be your selllllff you can’t be no one ellllsse”
“I’m feeling Super Sonic, Give me Gin and Tonic...” !!!
That Epi Junior has some nice bite and snarl. ...and the Epi Special has surprisingly good intonation. Pretty cool!
Hey, "Rocks Off" is usually the first song I play when I pick up my Epiphone Les Paul Junior!
Cool ABBA/Who mash up. Been waiting for the 2020 Modern line to be released forever can't wait to pick one up.
Creds for playing "rocks off" on the JR. Exile is by far the most underrated album the stones did.
I don't get it, So previous Epiphones have not been inspired by Gibson?
I think you mislabeled the 3rd SG as a standard when it was the custom
With your different lighting set, the 50s cherry sunbursts looks amazing.
Great demo. I have owned a few Epiphones over the years and in my experience I think that the Probucker pickups are easily the best they have produced and far better than the Classic PRO. Listen to the difference between the three SGs. The Standard SG 61 with the Probuckers really stands out over the other two which both have Classic PROs.
Dr Z...They are made about 30 minutes from my house...best clean sound period.
Excellent playing! It's both groovy and melodic. Pleasure to listen to the demo
I got the Les Paul Alpine white one. I put gold sperzels in it and I love that thing. What a neck!
These guitars are really exciting. I've got the Les Paul Special coming soon :D
Best demo of this new lines hands down 🙌🏽. Can’t wait to play one of these very affordable guitar!
first time i didn’t want a demo to end
You forgot to mention the veneers that are on the SG's Standard and 61 Standard back and front! A lot of people are disappointed by that.
Tony smith Dont forget the Les Paul Special. Horrible veneer.
Until I get my hands on one I guess I wont truly know how good these are. But, they sure look & sound decent and good things are being said about them. I truly hope they are great cuz I want about 4 of them lol. That's 60's looks great ..i want to see the Bourbon finish as well.

Nick Jimenez there’s quite a few options without coil tapping and always has been.
Epiphone has raised their game. If the headstock would say Gibson, you could easily believe it is a Gibson. They sound great and look great.
still Cheaply made from china. You can make anything look nice. the Gibson USA Les Paul is a far better made and better sounding and playing guitar

Thanks for giving the New York Dolls some love! Sounds great!
Just got my epiphone plus top pro in blood orange. Gorgeous guitar!
that black SG sounded like EC in the Cream days. what amp/pedal combo was that?
looks like a Dr Z maz amp
Love that black SG. Just don’t need that inlay on the 1st fret.
Yes, most folk do not need to be reminded where the first fret is 🤭.

me neither, but I suddenly want that one. The P90s make the SG so much cooler.
At least they made a half assed attempt at changing the head stock
