Just got the Epiphany SG Junior and its great guitar for the money. Mine has some weight to it, which I prefer. I had a 2021 Gibson SG Junior and I swear it weighed like 4.5lbs haha. Too light for me.

Buckethead uses v4

I have the Epi Yungblud SG Junior, and for the price, it's unbelievable. Definitely recommended.

Gibson does make a standard usa SGJr. With p90 and one my dad got 2019-2022 is not a nice guitar. Sure it's looks nice as it's brand new but there's a reason the original owner sold it, it's a dog leg. But Gibson has for sure made ab standard usa SG junior since 2019 and still makes it.

First SG junior's always a b**** too. Keep in tune

They are both quality guitars, honesty the newer guitars are made well with cnc machines

I have 3 SG Jrs. While I don't have a vintage Gibson Jr, I have a 2018 Banner series Gibson Jr. The first new Jr. they made since the 2011 which was not historically accurate. Prior to 2011 there was a late 90s re-issue based on the late 60s batwing version. The 2018 Banner guitar is the first accurate remake of the early 60s Jr. I also have the new EPI Yungblud Jr. It's a fine guitar for the money. Especially since it comes with a nice case at a very affordable price. It holds its own against the Gibson. But the 3rd is my best. It's actually a kit guitar from Precision Guitar Kits. It was assembled and finished at their factory (so technically not a full on DIY kit). It has a Lollar P90 and a Tone Pros bridge and an ebony fretboard. The finish is lacquer like the Gibson. Amazing guitar. I agree that the poly finish on the Epi gives it a little more snap and maybe a little less bass response. But once it's plugged in it's hard to notice. The feel of lacquer is definitely luxurious compared to poly. But in the end I'd take all 3 of these onstage any day of the week and use them interchangeably. I don't even feel a need to replace the pickup in the Epi.

Zero difference.. ive had them all.. i have guitars worth 7k and i play my new epiphone flying V more than anything.. its under 1k far below

We can change most everything on a guitar, except the finish. Unless we go custom shop, we are stuck with poly finishes that are near impossible to get off, and they come in every color you can imagine. There is a reason why Gibson never changed their finish, when they realized what poly did to the sound of their guitars. Fender went all in by using poly on their "Professional line" of American guitars, with the claim that the finish doesn't matter. After 40 years, most people believe that lie, having never really owned a nitro finished guitar. But some of us were there, and we remember what a good strat was like. I guess their motto now is - "Always leave them wanting more"

Epiphone has Stept it up . Good Stuff.

Doesn’t matter what you buy if you can’t play

I have just about had m ' all lol ... just keep the onee ya really love....I have a American Tele and I have a Epiphone Flying V and love it ..a few mods like better tuners and i purchased a Seymour Duncan for bridge position , although the stock pup is really growing on me...so time will tell..? I will say that I am really impressed with the 500 k potentiometers and the shielding is really good on it 👍

One will blow the other out when you want to sell it.

With your playing ability you should definitely get the Epiphone.

thanks for making this awesome review. I LOVE the white epiphone junior, because it's impossible to find anything that looks like that that doesn't cost a few thousand bucks. But man, that Gibson sounds like it's almost breathing when you play it.

Absolutely fantastic have a great day also I subscribed to the channel also Tuesday January 14th is my friend birthday

Maybe play something besides bar chords, drop the distortion at one point to hear the clean sides of them both. Just a suggestion

Epiphones are very good guitars, I have two..and when I die my grandneices will wish they were Gibsons

They both sound great, but the Gibson had something extra. What it is, i dont know.

You could buy a Mexican Strat, an Epiphone anything and a Mexican Tele or 1 Gibson.

Buy a vintage strat it'll be a work horse😅😅

Anyone have this and the Pitchfork+ and comment how they fair to each other? I got the PF+ but it’s not as smooth as the Whammy sounds. Also kind of “digitals” a little even on single notes

I'm wondering if the Edge used one of these in the intro on U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing from the Achtung Baby album.

was not expecting the here comes your man demo for this pedal lmaoo

Alesis multi mix 8 mixers are fantastic to play guitar threw. Your guitar comes out in great stereo on the number 4 reverb. Also vocals come threw great. These are the old mixers ?

The ammoon octa pedal was so good they took it off the market? PERFECT TRACKING. They were only $50 new. They want $200 bucks used now. But they worth it if you can even find one for sale. Also the m-vave mini universe reverb is fantastic for only $25 and you can get them.

Whammy 1 and the 4 were the best ones… the cat in the blender sound is what you want

Dimebag used a Whammy for years on a lot of albums

I have thought about getting one of these pedals rather than using a floyd rose tremelo system to do dive bombs and such that you hear a lot in 80's hard rock. Don't think I have found one video on here yet with someone actually using the pedal and doing dive bombs 🤔

RAGTMs use of the whammy is great but noting beats the melodic way David Gimoure use it on Marooned. That is just butifull.

The Bass Whammy from the 90s looked like the Whammy II. It had buttons to scroll through the modes instead of a knob.

Great presentation.

why everyone hating 😂😂 bro went pretty hard

I'm a simple man. I see a video about a white explorer, I'm clicking on the video lol. Always nice to see others enjoy a white explorer as much as I do. I picked up the white 70s explorer a few years ago Loved it! Just got the new 80's White explorer, which is a dream guitar, obviously due to James Hetfield. Great video!

Bruce kulick of KISS played one in the early nineties non makeup kiss days

The video Too Much Time on My Hands by Styx. Tommy Shaw is playing a white Gibson Explorer in that

I own a 93 custom shop in heritage cherry. Owned it since 97. Got it for 700 at GC Boston. I'm a bigger guy so it fits me better lol. I like the way the neck sits forward. Plus it plays and sounds incredible. Sounds killer through either of my Marshall stacks.

Very cool guitar 👍 I'm planning on doing a tele. I've done a couple strats... most recently 24 3/4 scale length and active EMGs

The seventies Telecaster Custom also has the toggle switch up in that position.

I love my telecaster! I have a used baja tele that someone swapped the neck for a stock mexican standard neck!?! Guess they didnt like the fat fifties V neck and the cool original logo but I got it cheep cheep! Like the budgie! Hahaha and that flat pole bridge pickup roars like a wildebeest. Cool video dude. Cheers from the UK!

...... The guitar is awesome!!....You? Not so much.

I own a 2000 Gibson gothic and a 83. I also own 99 prelawsuit ESP. I love explorers. But plying them? I play a les Paul every day. I switch between a axcess, and 2 standards with 50s necks- a dark cherry burst and blueberry. I also heavily use an esp mh1000 in that mix and I play 30 mins to 2 hours daily. I don’t think explorers are the ultimate rock guitar though. That will be strat or SG then Les Paul. As for who made the explorer cool- white and black explorers was all Hetfield. And that was a solution when his V broke.

I have the 59/custom hybrid in my MIM Strat, love it!

Cheap Trick played a lot of Explorers, Scorps, Edge, Hettfield, and Hagar.

Those pickups do sound sweet. I have a Explorer Warmoth build in the pipeline. I was gonna go Burstbucker but will consider this Duncan set.

Scorpions (jabs) are the white explorer benchmark.

Only a bonehead would remove grovers.

great looking guitar- wanted one for a while just like that. thanks and great find! also like ur upgrades

I'm a casual guitarist at best but seeing a room full of equipment like this from some random guy with 73 subs is insane. The amount of knowledge that the most unassuming people have will always blow my mind.

I have an ‘82 E2 Explorer in tobacco burst and it rules.
