  • In this video I unbiox and demo a really cool new guitar (to me) which is the Tommy Thayer electric blue Epiphone Les Paul. This guitar is gorgeous! It has some great features including Grover tuners and Seymour Duncan JB pickups. It plays and sounds fantastic. I hope you enjoy the video!

    That blue sparkle finish is absolutely gorgeous and the blue SD in the bridge really sets it off nicely.

    The Ace/Kiss seperation was both sides fault. That was never going to work. So I am completely OK with Tommy Thayer stepping in. You are correct if it wasn't Tommy, it would have been someone else. And Tommy stuck around and made it his own as best he could.

    I'm not crazy about the guitars looks. The blue I'm ok with. Not so much the sparkle. But, I prefer pickups that match. Even if it's like the Zebra style that neck is reversed from the bridge. But, great sound. You should do a few kiss covers. The licks sounded great. I have 3 Epiphones. I think they are ok. Maybe not Gibson Les Pauls but, mine seem to sound pretty good. My first Epiphone Les Paul Classic....I never had good sound out of it. Partly because the amp I had. But. When I got the amp...It sounded good in the store... something must have happened going through the doorway lol. So I ended up getting The Tone Mans Les Paul up grade pre wired pots dropped that in and put a pickup in the bridge. Cant even remeber which one I want to say Seymour Duncan Sh4. Had it set up and now sounds great. I have big fingers and at times struggle to play it. So I never spent the money for a Gibson. But, happy with the sound of my Epiphones. People knock them but, for the price you can beat it. Even if you upgrade. So if you never tried one ...try it at a guitar store. You might be suprised. Especially with the models from about 2015 and up.

    I’ve been procrastinating on this model for about 2 years now 🤔🤔 don’t need it but want it ! I’ve got an older Joe Perry Epiphone and a Bonamassa Pelham blue that both came with Gibson BB pickups. Are they like my Gibsons ? No, but pretty darn close ! Didn’t ever think I’d be an Epiphone Les Paul collector but now I think that I “have” to add this one 🤓

    The headstock shape of the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson reminds me of the Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" mouth logo, more than the Gibson "open book" headstock shape. But who cares when you have a guitar like this with this much bling !!!

    Be nice to it! Those Epi necks don't seem to be as sturdy as a USA made one and of course they can beak too. It seems the wood in the Epi's isn't as good or maybe the hard finish shows cracks easier. I have a couple of Epi SG's with finish cracks at the nut.

      @5150forever ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Ranch5150SkinWalker Being a painted one they probably used a 2 or 3 piece body. From the ones I have had if there is going to be a problem showing up its probably going to be the neck near the nut or the fret board to neck bond. Not nearly as strong as maple. Quartersawn Maple with carbon rods would be nice. But you know who does that. Be careful where you leave it between sets.They don't like being knocked over. I had a Epi SG that broke at the body to neck joint. Easy fix but it was shocking how little wood there is behind that top pickup and the neck joint. Asian Mahogany likes to split. The hard finish is almost a reinforcement in a way. Show it a little extra care and it should be fine.

      Ace left for some real good reasons. Control was not part of his deal. He was being controlled by 2 people that wanted it only there way, and if not, the door swung in 1 direction. Ace had plenty to offer the band as in all his talent. The other 2 decided it was not good enough for them and there bank account. The Kulick Brothers proved a point as well. Tommy was always in the background waiting for his chance, then he got his chance. He always wanted to be Ace, but there is only is 1 Ace. The real people that listened to Kiss, know that Ace cannot be replaced by anyone. When he left, I left.
