@@bsideguitar i would of been way more on board with the purple if it had been a darker royal purple and less of a magenta bordering in the world of pink
Splitting the tone gives it a more jangly sound. I definitely like having that option if the need arises. I am very impressed with this guitar. I read that it also has what they call a treble bleed circuit that's supposed to help at lower volumes. That is a big plus! Honestly the clambering and the fact it is light does make a difference for guys like me. I'm coming up on 62 and having a lighter Les Paul will really help. I currently have one that is just under 9 lbs and one that is a little over 9 lbs. My back can use the break, as I have had two back surgeries. Thank you for this review. I was considering getting one of these, but this video sealed the deal for me!!! From the ones I have seen online they run about a pound lighter than the ones I have, and that is a lot when it comes to guitars so I'm definitely going to get one!!
@@ikealamp53 that’s great to know man.I’ve been saving up for it .I got tired of my strat and the first guitar that got me into this world of music and guitars and all that was the Les Paul.Can’t wait to own one. 🤞
Just played one of these yesterday at my local Sam ash. Was super surprised with it! Didn’t get a chance to plug it in but it felt just as good as a Gibson!
I played that guitar yesterday (Mon), unplugged, so can't really say about sound, but I was surprised about how comfortable it felt, especially the neck and fretboard.
I have a Gibson Les Paul but was looking for an everyday use guitar (I want to preserve my Gibson), so I checked these out (Epiphone Les Paul Muse), I was surprised they sound close to Gibson! I was kinda still uncertain but thanks to your review definitely getting the Jet Black!
It looks really nice. The Epiphone lineup for 2020 is good across the board. Im not a big fan of coil splitting but it's still a nice LP. The 1959 standard is one I would like to play.
This guitar also has a treble bleed circuit that will get overlooked in reviews. The treble bleed circuit helps at lower volumes. So if you are like me and have a night worker in the house, then you have to keep the volume down during the day. The coil splitting and phase switch are great options to have at this price, but add the treble bleed circuit and it's a grand slam!! I am definitely getting one of these. I have only heard one slightly negative review on this guitar and I felt the reviewer was actually looking for stuff to be negative about. When you hear a certain amount of sarcasm in the reviewers voice right from the start, you have to wonder what their agenda is. At any rate their review disappointed me so much that I unsubscribed to their channel. That is saying a lot as I had really valued their opinion, up to that point. But it's not hard to tell when someone has an agenda. Just the way they handled the guitar from the beginning said it all. I don't have the kind of money that guy has so making a $500 investment on a guitar for me is saying a lot. There are cons, i know that. But none that would make me shy away.
Best thing about these is the shape of the neck and nut width especially if you have smaller hands. I have a new epi sg classic worn and the neck feels way to flat and wide. Also the pickups are surprisingly good.
Thanks for the comment. Just checked out your video also.. so for anyone out there that wants to hear this guitar with some serious gain on it check out this video: th-cam.com/video/x5LM5eRfxIE/w-d-xo.html
In India the Muse is priced at an equivalent of $550 and the ESP EC256 at $420. At a 30% premium would you recommend the Muse over the 256. I haven't tried the Muse yet, but the EC256 with the limited time I had with it, it was comfortable to play but I guess was missing out on a bit of "les-paul-ness" if that makes sense.
Saw yer review of the SG Muse. Methinks I'll be going after the SG Muse first, mainly because I don't have a SG in my herd, whilst I already have 6 LPs so am not in a rush to get another LP (altho I plan eventually getting a LP Muse as a lightweight alt for my HEAVY 2012 Agile AL-3010SE, which IS my #1 LP). The closest thing I have to a SG is my 2013 Epiphone Limited Edition Genesis Deluxe Professional in Transparent Gray Burst. It's a nice git, but like the 3010, tis a tad heavy and is somewhat rare (so I wouldn't wanna gig with it).
They look awesome. I was looking at the Epiphone Les Paul a d SG Muse yesterday. Les Paul was on sale, SG too possible. I like the white metallic and the black metallic on both guitars and the sleekness no pickguard, transparent clear knobs, lack of pick guards especially on the SG. This green looks pretty cool too. From what I hear, sound good too.
this would need to be modded with gold or amber pickups and a pickguard then I would be happy, the muse series was awkwardly priced at only 50 more than the worn series but cheaper than the 50/60 inspired by gibson models that came in "normal" les paul colors, would be interesting for epiphone to share which lines sold well in 2020
I have the green SG Muse and I love it. I found that with some pedal tweaks I can get it to sound damn near exactly like my Strats. But then signal and speakers are the dominant factor to sound I concede.
Not that I need another guitar, but I may just end up getting one of these. They have a nice, not an everyday look, and seem to be a good value for the money!
I wonder why Epiphone came out the MUSE series because Gibson never made a MUSE series. This is one year later do you still have yours? I still have mine even though the frickin maintenance men at Canan Towers apartment complex in Shreveport Louisiana stole my Squires Bullet Strat and Tele and most of all my Epiphone Hummingbird and LoL an unplayable Garry and left my LP Muse, Washburn c5ce, Bullet Mustang while I was in the hospital but the police said they've been trying to prove it because it's happened to others and the hallway camera happened to be out of order. How would you compare it to the Epiphone LP 59 Standard Reissue with the Gibson burst PAF pick-ups?
@@bsideguitar so glad u bought it.people get so upset when company's give so many away to youtubers .a guy like me can watch fifty guitar vidios a day just dreaming.im a one guitar kinda guy I'm just looking for one to speak to me or give inspiration.and this ones look makes me Wana pick it up for sure.if people want a classic lp just get one of those I love sparkly and gold guitars never had one tho.i got a Jay turser sg.
I have an Epiphone Les Paul with a green metal flake top and natural back with neck and body binding and classic old style tuning machines. Its like a gold top design with humbuckers and green metal flake paint. I can’t find any info on this guitar 🤔
@@burresseffects I never considered selling it. I love the guitar so it would take a substantial amount of money and most likely not be worth the cost to most.
I like the simple yet classy look of the guitar. The Muse series did a good job with that 😀
Yeah I’m not a fan of all of the colors but there are definitely some home runs also.

I bought this guitar today. In the color jet black. Can't wait for the delivery. It will be a few long days.
Sweet! Stoked for you!!!
Tbh I really fell in love with this guitar.I want to save up for it.My favorite colors are the radio blue and purple passion ones.

I played mine in drop c and it actually sounds pretty good for certain metal.

You and me both. The 1959 looks awesome. I’m also looking at the Bonamassa. 🎸
i really appreciate your time to explain the split coils. lots of reviews skipped or jus solo'd & didn't really explain. appreciate that 👍

I just picked up the LP version. Very cool guitar, played it because it looked interesting and ended up walking out with it. Fantastic guitar
Great review. Thanks. I have on on my guitar radar...
Love this guitar! I recorded and played this guitar in one of my recent videos on my channel. Great guitar. Love the content man! 🔥👍

Proud white one owner! I just love it, and I find the out of phase position very usable too for blues
I like that they're lighter but they don't sound like a LP to me, they don't sound bad but not like a LP should sound.
They look awesome. I was looking at the Epiphone Les Paul a d SG Muse yesterday. Les Paul was on sale, SG too possible. I like the white metallic and the black metallic on both guitars and the sleekness no pickguard, transparent clear knobs, lack of pick guards especially on the SG. This green looks pretty cool too.
From what I hear, sound good too.
I didn't know what this guitar is. Now I know and I want It!
Thank you for the informations
They are great guitars. I really dig the white ones also.
I can't decide between this and a standard
Same. Have you decided already?
this would need to be modded with gold or amber pickups and a pickguard then I would be happy, the muse series was awkwardly priced at only 50 more than the worn series but cheaper than the 50/60 inspired by gibson models that came in "normal" les paul colors, would be interesting for epiphone to share which lines sold well in 2020
Try middle position, out of phase+treble bleed+back off on the volume a bit, and see if you can funk with that. :)
Just tryed one in Toulouse today, was very attracted by the. Epi modern serie, but for my ear theres no comparison and for my finger it’s wonderful
SWEET VICTORY SONG
I have the green SG Muse and I love it. I found that with some pedal tweaks I can get it to sound damn near exactly like my Strats. But then signal and speakers are the dominant factor to sound I concede.
Wow.that is beautiful.omg new favorite guitar .thanxs for showing me. Now I can dream

It seems very good indeed!
Which amplifier did you use?
I bought mine unplayed and I like it better than other LPs that I was looking for. I don't need other LPs.
I could easily see how this could be a go-to LP. Light weight, good tones and a lot of them. The neck is nice also.
@@bsideguitar The chambered body sounds really nice. I wonder why other LPs doesn't have it.
Sounds and looks good!
Thanks! Really appreciate it.
Late to your review but that’s for a great review.
You didn't talk about the neck, what is it like, big and thick or what????
I didn't think that the neck felt big and thick. It felt like it was on the thin side.
@@seanbrubaker6535 thanks for the reply!
Which would you choose and why? Epiphone Les Paul Muse or Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s?
You’ve sold me. I’m off to try one. If I buy it and get in trouble it’s all YOUR fault, right ?
Ha! I’ll take the blame ;)
@@bsideguitar I bought it. Minister of Finance wants your email address.....your in trouble buddy
how would you compare this to the classic vibe 70s telecasters? they seem really similar and i want to get something in the mid range.
It's pretty I'll give it that.
Would look great on my living room wall.
Did you get it free also like others.
Nope, Im out of my own pocket for these. It's funny how many people think i get them free...
@@bsideguitar so glad u bought it.people get so upset when company's give so many away to youtubers .a guy like me can watch fifty guitar vidios a day just dreaming.im a one guitar kinda guy I'm just looking for one to speak to me or give inspiration.and this ones look makes me Wana pick it up for sure.if people want a classic lp just get one of those I love sparkly and gold guitars never had one tho.i got a Jay turser sg.
Also has a treble bleed circuit
I found a Gibson lp studio with cracked headstock for the same price as a new muse
And I can’t decide 🫤
Help
[starting to learn to play.. again)]
Aren't they made of Okuma???
You are correct, the Muse SG have a mahogany body while the Muse LP have an Okouma body
Does it neck dive?
Seems versatile
I have an Epiphone Les Paul with a green metal flake top and natural back with neck and body binding and classic old style tuning machines. Its like a gold top design with humbuckers and green metal flake paint. I can’t find any info on this guitar 🤔
Can I buy it from you?
@@burresseffects I never considered selling it. I love the guitar so it would take a substantial amount of money and most likely not be worth the cost to most.
One year after your video it stands side by side with his Gibson modern. He's upset.
Can you tell how much millimeters is the length from E to E string at the nut, thanks?
For a guitar techs review of the Muse.....check my review.
The Muse I review has one glarring issue that is a ridiculas fail for Epiphone.
Theo body and neck are not from mahogenie but okoume wood.
Get a descent amp & better recording equipment sounds like you're playing in a tin can
Wrong! Most Overrated and overhyped guitar of the year. The fret work on these were awful. High fret city.
Ummm I believe that award goes to the Silver Sky Nebula 😂
