    Love the tone of these little guitars. I've got a '66 B-25N that I use for tracking in the studio.

    That thing is a tone machine! I can only imagine how well it would record. Plus, Michael is world-class. But I guess that just goes without saying at this point.

    That tone is as warm as it gets. Lovely.

    Just picked up a 1968 Gibson B-15 not long ago, enamored and struck by the bright, yet worm tone, can't not beat the sound of the Kalamazoo era, imo.

    epiphone is such a great instrument , I have 8 of them , from the 70's to 2018 and they are all fantastic , basically gibson guitars made in japan and a lot less expensive , this one is a high end epi , and sounds great , looks fantastic for a 63' , thats just a year younger than me and looks way better , I wish my parents had put me under the bed and packed me off to norms 58 years later. Well done as always Micheal and Jen.

      Hard to beat Epi's for the price. My 2 main guitars are both Epiphones, an Alleykat & Nighthawk Custom Reissue.

    I want one of these. This small shape makes it very nice for chording, but also the tone coming is extremely confident and strong.

    I bought mine in 1965, not the natural, but the FT45 Cortez darker model. It's in great shape and I'd like to sell it. I'm not sure what to ask for it if I put it on Craigslist.

    The metal screws on the bridge and the metal holding them inside the guitar kill the sound like on a B25.

    If you've never played or owned a pre 1970 epiphone you're missing a tremendous guitar experience. I've always been a fan. I own a 69 olympic that is fantastic. Had one as a kid in the 70's and didnt realize how awesome it was at the time

    So you pick up a 60-year-old guitar and can't even take off your denim jacket.
    You were worried about the guitar case, which has protected it until today, but you couldn't even think for a second that its iron buttons might scratch it?
    Strange, very strange.

    Really sounds like the tiny, tinny, student guitar that it is. Lemmo makes it sound great of course, but save your money.

    • @editorjuno
      @editorjuno 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the tone of the high E and B strings really suffers compared to the small Martins from back then -- and the bass is weak in the knees, even considering the small body. The dreadnought-bodied, long scale FT-79N Texan is an order of magnitude better guitar.
