Just ordered one of these. I first tried this in store against a Gibson Standard 50s - amazingly close feel. Epiphone quality is so high these days. The neck on this is awesome. Sounds and looks so cool too! Sleepless nights until it arrives. Beyond excited! Great playing🤘
Yeah... dudes a thief. Shoplifted his stupid hat. Stole his iconic amp from a recording studio/ gear rental place... pretty much just grifted his way to where he is now.
I had the previous Epiphone Slash Anaconda with the old headstock. Was as good as any Gibson for a fraction of the cost. Loved it but eventually I upgraded to a real Gibson Les Paul because I always wanted one. Both great guitars.
Woohoo! Slash! Fantastic demo as always Gents. Been watching for years, and will continue for the years to come. Cheers from the Cold beer side of the pond🍺🇺🇸
I barely play nowadays. Still have my basic strat rip off for learners. Have been flirting with the idea of buying another guitar and getting back into it. This might be it.
@@michaelmetal71 Nah- I’d say he should get whatever motivates him to play. Sometimes with gear the best gear isn’t the stuff that makes the most sense but the stuff that excites you the most.
@@michaelmetal71 My first serious guitar was a Synyster Gates custom- ridiculous looking thing but in a good way, it was completely impractical for me but I loved it and it kept my playing and enjoying it. Now I play pretty much only rock and no metal anymore but if it wasn’t for that guitar I probably wouldn’t still be playing
14:20 can I make a suggestion? When you compare guitar sounds, why don’t you record a lick into a loop pedal on guitar 1, pause the loop, swap guitars, play the loop from guitar 1 ( to familiarise yourself with the sound) and then play the same lick with guitar 2. So there’s less time between swapping out? Make sense? Thank me later 😊
About 15 yrs ago i had 2 Gibsons . An sg and an LP ,the necks kept warping and couldn't keep them in tune. Traded them in on 4 epiphones. Best guitars I ever owned.
There's no way Gibson is going to allow an $800 Epiphone to sound exactly like a $2500 Gibson. There has to be a difference. The Epiphone sounds great though.
The difference is in the electronic and hardware as well as the frets. Might have sharp frets or whatever. There's always something with cheaper guitars. I have a PRS SE. Sounds good. But it's a bitch to set up and I can tell there's sharp frets and what not. You won't get that with a custom shop.
The epiphone is made in China, the Gibson in USA so there’s a huge price gap there in regards to labour etc. I can’t tell a £1800 price difference, to me that seems ridiculous really, think you’re paying most of that for the Gibson name. That’s what I think anyway
The wood on the fret board and the pickups are different for sure. The electronics were supposed to be different, but not sure if they stayed? I just received the Appetite Burst and it sounds amazing. 👍🏼🙌🏼
Love watching you both on these videos all the way here in Sydney Australia. Big difference between the Gibby and Epi. Doing a great job and always enjoyable. Take care!
Yup... its like going from a boxter to a 911. The boxters good and all but cmon, they are different animals. Is the gibson worth 3x more, absolutely not, but life's too short to settle.
good pups or not, before watching this vid i watched a vid from another guy that demoed the previous Anaconda Epi. he is NOWHERE near these guys as a player, but the tone of the Anaconda he had was NOTICEABLY better. the only significant difference between the guitars is the old model had SD Slash signature buckers. imma get the Anaconda and drop the Duncans in it.
You know you watch too much Andertons* when you're waiting with bated breath for the line: "And if Slash was here today he would tell you to like and subscribe..." and then you cheer when they say it. *there's no such thing as "Too much Andertons" 😉
I think they might be the best Epiphone pickups I've ever heard. I generally don't care for their pups. I have two epiphone les pauls, but they have all Gibson electronics. But those Epiphone Slash pickups are pretty good. Remind me of my 57 classics. 😎
It's hit or miss on what pups Epi will use in their up market guitars. For example - the Lee Malia series used Custom Shop Gibson USA pups, the 59 LP had the Burstbucker USAs, but the new Emily Wolfe has " tuned " Probuckers just like this Slash series does.
@@KazeAkiyama The truth is that Slash dont like that guitar but he has a contract. You will never see him playing a Slash Epiphone. Even the Slash Gibson model fuck up the pickups to reduce cost. The Seymour Duncan Alnico II is the autentic Slash sound.
Same, there’s Gibsons that are cheaper with better hardware, pick ups, and wood. I’m not bashing epiphone cause they are doing great but 900$ for a epi les Paul standard that doesn’t even Gibson pick ups is whack. Everyone’s gonna be paying for the colors lol
@@zagrix I recently got a Burny Les Paul Goldtop with P90’s for £449, looks stunning, is a peach to play and sounds amazing! They do a humbucker version too! You should check them out! I found the best price from “Steven James Guitars”

It does seem that the Epiphone model is a pickup change away from being the same as the Gibson models, minus the logo of course. A set of Slash's signature AFD Duncan's sounds like just the thing. It is surprising though that it sounds like the Gibson model has much higher output pickups than the Epiphone one.
@@addman34555 Gibson use a tool to scrape the binding on the body after the finish has been applied, epiphone normally leave the top part covered only having it exposed around the sides, on these though the binding is visible from the top aswell
Wow, great video! Lee your outro lines were really enjoyable! Pete, awesome as usual! To me the Gibson pickups had much more creamy harmonics. Alnico FTW! Thanks guys, keep it up!
Does Pete work at Anderton's? I mean, like, if I walked into the store, would I see him in a back brace moving stock around in the back and then setting up sales displays?
They have epiphone pickups. I thought they would have the Seymour Duncan Slash set humbuckers. The Tony Iommi Epiphone SG had Gibson Iommi pups so I don't understand that the signature guitar would have signature pups.
@@ces69 These pickups sound better than most of Gibsons I had at the time. We compared sets on different amps and guitars. Gibsons sounded wooly and undefined compared to TS. Some guitars (like GS) come alive with these.
@@TheMemagNeman I think all their pickups sound great, have got a Suhr Standard copy which is HSS and has been fitted with a Rolling Mill PAF style humbucker in the bridge and Vintage 6ts in the neck and middle!
Disappointed. Modern, Prophecy, Custom and 59 are better options. Even captain had to make a 'why would you buy this and not other instead' statement because deep down he knows these are not worth 899.
Bro my 2009 1959 epiphone les paul standard came with USA gibson humbuckers and switchcraft toggle switch off the assembly line, i am absolutely dissapointed with what they have chosen to go with 😤
Totally agree. Bummer about the pickups. The Alex Lifeson LP kinda blows the Slash out of the water from a features perspective and its $899 too. Hell, the Lifeson blows everything away at that price point.
I have a question (though it is not specific to this video). Pete gets to play just about every new guitar or new version release going. Over the last eight years or so that he has been doing these Andertons videos he must have racked up well over a hundred and some clearly leave an impression that goes beyond just the latest product demonstration. Up to a while ago, he was associated with and inseparable from his purple Telecaster but it has neither been seen nor mentioned lately. Is it still his favourite guitar or has it now been replaced in his affections (perhaps by the Murphy Lab Les Paul)?
I've tried a Gibson Slash standard and an Epiphone 50s Standard. Playing with the same amp settings the Epiphone is like 70% of the Gibson sound but if you increase the gain and tweak a bit you can get an 80% of the sound. Not a bad deal for 1/4 of the price.
Damn, the Dutch Piet guy has been practicing his Slash'isms! The sound and the bends around the 12-14th frets were spot on! And omg, Lee does uptempo rock really well!
Weird looking strats! But hey, there's one guitar that, when it comes out, I'll be very impressed if Lee manages to arrange a "Captain meets". That'll be the upcoming Epiphone Adam Jones Sig Les Pablo!!!
Epiphone are now making dome if the very best guitars they've ever made starting with my 1960 Les Paul Tribute in 2015 still holding up and delivering the goods! Like the new model got Gibson wiring,pickups( Classic /57), Gibson pots and toggles switch etc,Grover tuners the lot.

Anyone else stupidly tought for a second that Slash was there?
He was, he was disguised as danish Pete.
Shameless clickbait
Guilty
I mean, the had Greg Koch there once 🤷🏻♂️
😂 that cracked me up.. 😂
Fake Slash=Flash
I've always felt that a Les Paul and Marshall were a match made in heaven. The sound of rock!
every time i hear it, i feel the same again! you are totally right in my opinion
Indeed, especially when using a JCM800 :P
Strat & Marshall = the sound of rock
My friend, The amp is only working as power, he is using a pedal 😁
Epiphone is absolutely knocking it out of the park lately..
What could they possibly do next... ;)

Holy smokes, Cap'n! Great playing. Pete is always awesome, but Lee has come so far.
Ironically, the whole Slash - Gibson partnership started with a fake Gibson
Even more ironically it has been argued it actually saved the Gibson company as they were in trouble at the time.
that's why they used a fake slash in the thumbnail 😭
Well Slashes Les Paul copy was probably better than any actual Gibson on the market
@@ShreddingFinn wasn't that why he got it ghost built in the first place? He couldn't find a Gibson LP to his standard.
Yeah... dudes a thief. Shoplifted his stupid hat. Stole his iconic amp from a recording studio/ gear rental place... pretty much just grifted his way to where he is now.
1:13 when Pete just smashes into that groove I was blown away haha sounds so good
Holy crap, I just got Slash rolled by that thumbnail.
When Danish Pete's in a video, I usually end up hitting the "like" button way before the intro jam is over.

At least you can buy one of these

me too
Traitor ! Jimmey would be disappointed. So would Stevie,Eric,Richie,...
you can instantly see the difference in the confidence it gives Petes playing with the Gibson, its like taking the gloves off when he plays the Gibbo.
yeah something about the Gibson sounds huge in comparison.
Yup... its like going from a boxter to a 911. The boxters good and all but cmon, they are different animals. Is the gibson worth 3x more, absolutely not, but life's too short to settle.
Oh my goodness I can’t believe how much better the Gibson sounds!!!!
Not even just a little bit better! The epi is just a normal guitar with a paint job lol
These intro jams are real beauty and so glad you did a video on these epiphones....what a coincidence I was looking these up a few days before
Slash’s Al Nico 2 Pick ups running through a Marshall AFD Amp always sound great
Literally been waiting all year for this!!! 😁😁😁😁
awesome playing, nice demo, now I have an "appetite" for one of those guitars!
I challenge Andertons to make an interview with Slash this year 💪🏼 .
Killer review. I particularly liked the opening jam on this one. You guys were definitely having fun (and sounding great!).
You really need to do a Epiphone vs Gibson slash blindfold, that would be very interesting to see.
I think people drastically underestimate the probuckers. They are great pickups.
They're ok.
good pups or not, before watching this vid i watched a vid from another guy that demoed the previous Anaconda Epi. he is NOWHERE near these guys as a player, but the tone of the Anaconda he had was NOTICEABLY better.

*there's no such thing as "Too much Andertons" 😉
This inspires me to put the Slash pickups back in my own Les Paul. That amp just sounds magical.
These aren’t slash pickups though. It’s strange why they don’t use them.
Man these Epiphone Slash guitars sound more like Slash tone tone wise that the Gibson Slash models!,
everybody talking about the intro jams... this outro jam was absolutely fabulous. You guys nailed it! Rock on
I have the first Epi slash snakepit ‘97 , the snakepit is a sticker underneath a wall of polyurethane!
Good guitar though!
God, I remember that coming out, I'm old!
I had that guitar probably 20 years ago...i sold it years back and still regret it
some of the Captains best playing, in my opinion.
Just bought one after losing an hour and a half to it in guitar center. I hope this is a good review haha

Can’t believe they’ve put epiphone pro buckers in a signature model when the recent modules had Gibson buckers in them 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah wtf
Ya know? At this price level? Pro buckers?
the Gibson Slash sig pickups are rubbish anyhow. The older Epis had Duncans in them, if I recall correctly.
Tommy Thayer and JJN has Duncans, the Holy Diver has DiMarzios and the 59 has Gibbo burstbuckers.
It's hit or miss on what pups Epi will use in their up market guitars. For example - the Lee Malia series used Custom Shop Gibson USA pups, the 59 LP had the Burstbucker USAs, but the new Emily Wolfe has " tuned " Probuckers just like this Slash series does.
