I learned more about my guitar than they told me at Guitar Center with this video alone. I bought this a few months ago in wanderlust green. I am VERY happy with it. I never thought I'd ever buy a green guitar. But this one is just tasteful and pretty. And the unique tones you can get on it sound amazing. It's a lot of guitar for the money. I have no idea why TH-cam is not on fire with these. They're excellent.
Dude it’s always the videos that are hard to find that are the best, I’ve been looking for a owners manual or a video to explain the knobs but for some reason it’s impossible to find with this guitar, thank you man! Amazing video, just what I wanted!
It's 2022 and I'm still loving mine. I love the electronics work and I replaced the knobs with black and red numbers. It even has a twang that I play country music on mine.
The neck coil split sounds super, as do both split together. If Epiphone had added a boost circuit it would have made a really nice LP Traditional. Lots of sound choices here. I think that I am liking this guitar. Add good looks for a price tag of around $500 and this is a sweet deal.
@@Peter-hannDe It's quite possible that due to restrictions on certain wood exports in various countries that you're seeing a different build in Europe. We've seen that with other brands too.
Seems like the pickups are buzzing a lot more when split than I've heard in other demos of the same model. Maybe due to the amp? Some other ones it also sounded awfully shrill which I'm guessing was definitely the amp.
Blame that buzz on me! This was one of the first videos I did when we were in quarantine and I had one of my old studio lights that was causing hum in single-coil pickups. Didn't figure out the cause till the video was posted.
They've got a new 'radio blue metallic' for the epiphone modern .. color is on the backside too ... I'm ordering that one after christmas. I wanted the muse, .. but I figure for 150 bucks more, might as well get the locking tuners, pick guard and the slight upgrade on the pickups. They're all really nice looking. ... That red one looks awesome too.
@@Fiveash-Art The Muse has the same features except the modern has different body! The Muse has a chambered body and the modern has a solid body! I researched the LP styles before I bought the Muse! I can't afford the Modern!
The modern has the locking tuners.. different pickups and the ebony fretboard ... I don't really much care about the chambered body as weight isn't an issue for me, just a bedroom player. I love the metallic finish on the muse though.. 150 bucks isn't that much of a difference for me. So I figure screw it... might as well get the one that's a bit better. Getting the modern

I just bought one for my birthday tomorrow. :) I have a perl white. Looks beaultiful. :)
I think I’m gonna get radio blue
Finally, I get to hear it being played clean! Thanks , Larry.

I gotta say that Larry is becoming my favorite guitar demo dude. Gonna get either this or the modern from you guys when I can afford to!
Give us a call, we can make you a deal!
Great in depth review Larry , it doesn’t go unnoticed.
I really wanna buy one of these

Great video and playing. Very versatile guitar. I have the SG Muse which doesn't sound as good (but that might be my playing).
I have the blue Les Paul and a red SG
How are you liking the SG? I wondered about those.
@@michaelolz I really like it. It's super light and the picks ups sound really good.
Nice presentation - one thing though; I think the Muse is made out of Okume (with marble top) not Mahagony if I'm not mistaking.
I double checked our specs sheets on that guitar and it is mahogany with maple cap.
@@MooreMusicGuitars Weird - Might differ then between US and EU. Just got a Muse here in Europe and it's stated as Okume.

What are everybody’s thoughts on comparison between this and the classic ? What does everyone prefer and why , please don’t be shy ??
If I had to choose one guitar out of my 7 it would be my Red MUSE
spaghetti sauce red ... this is the only color of all of them I don't like ... The red on the modern LP epiphone is much better.
@@Fiveash-Art Absolutely!!!! My Red 339 has a prettier color .
