12:00 Guitar Overall Thoughts - เพลง
I sold off my guitar collection when i found out my wife was pregnant. The only guitar i kept was a squier mini strat with the hopes my son would want to play some day. He picked it up a few months ago and has been jamming ever since. His 13th bday is coming up, so i took him to the guitar store to look at a bunch of guitars. We played just about everything on the wall. I was thinking squier, jackson, ibanez or something along those lines. He was kinda meh about all of them... The sales guy brought out an SG, and he fell in love. I said this is the guitar Angus young from ac/dc plays and he plugged it in and played back in black. Hah i had no idea he even knew that song (or who ac/dc was). He looked up at me with a big smile and said i want this one, but i want a red one.
Tbh, this guitar wasnt even on my radar, i didnt know they even made one at this price point.
I picked it up yesterday, cant wait to see the look on his face when he opens it up!
That’s awesome! I’m sure he’ll love it! Cheers -Ryan
I have the same guitar. As a Epiphone LP fan I was shocked at how thin the neck is. I put Vanson Alnico 2's in it. Pots and poly tone cap are fine quality. I almost always reach for it now, and not the LP.
love the review, im a intermediate guitar play, my current one is a ibanez pgm, but its a mikro, glad to see that this guitar is getting good reviews from every video
Always nice reviews. Enjoy the playing. Good demo's. 🤘🎶🎸✌️😎
2:23 you throw it so smooth omg😭
Dude, I have this exact guitar. The neck feels great, and finding a slim taper D is not easy. You have rocked at 4:35. You have some of the best original material. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome review and I think true and honest! I have 2 specials and unlike a few TH-cam reviewers I've never gotten junk ones and I've never had to pay more than 50$ for a set up! Like some of them talk about in the 100$ lol you did a great review..and yeah I'm a gigging musician
I started to play guitar 3 months ago again with my old 3/4 size Squier guitar which I got when I was like 6 years old and never got into playing it back then. Now 11 years later I buy this Epiphone and I finally have an idea what playing a solid guitar feels like!! Thanks for the review, I love this guitar and it's also quite cheap but still good!
I have a SG... but my love is my three quarters Ibanez...and a 3200 R G Ibanez with Floyd Rose
I have the same guitar but mine was made in INDONESIA AND IT IS BRILLIANT
Same with the one I have but I did some upgrades on it. I changed out the tuners with Grover Rotomatics and the Bridge pickup I replaced with a Seymour Duncan Pegasus
I have one of those :)
If I want to upgrade the humbuckers, what do you recommend I put in?
Imma be honest seeing the finish on the Gibson SG and the pickguard vs the pickguard on the Epiphone SG and Satin finish makes a big difference to me.
great playin bro!
i checked out the same model at the guitar store after wrk today...
checked out a similar one as well...same pricetag...but liked this model better...
might visit GC on my next day off and carry a couple of strat models to see if i can trade em in on one of these...
i took a bit of a beating on the 2 trade-in models but emerged happy n wildeyed with a epiphone traditional pro sg in gold yay yaa!!
I bought the Special Satin as the first electric and I followed it up with the Epi P90 a couple of months later. If anything, the Special is a great addition to anyones collection, and great for shredding when you want to crank the distortion and muck around. IMO, it is one of the best choices out there for its price range and features.
Killer tone from the Fender.Joe Walsh meets Kings X.👍
Thinking of getting one of these and modding the hell out of it
That's always my thought when I see these guitars haha! "Only for beginners???"... "Watch what I do to this one!". Cheers -Ryan
What gauge on your string?
Epiphone makes very nice guitars, especially considering many use gibson hardware.
The ones I have played so far have had some Mojo, for sure! I think you mean that some have Gibson Pickups with CTS Pots. Epiphones are made in China, so they use the Metric Counterparts to the Gibson Bridges. Cheers -Ryan
Exactly I thought the same thing it feels like a Jackson
All this shredding on a $290 guitar proves that, these days, there is no reason to spend more than $1000 on a guitar unless you just want a name or a custom model affiliated with a celeb or a historical model.
You don’t need to spend over $1,000 to get a guitar that sounds like a guitar, that’s for sure. But when it comes to comfort, longevity, and fulfilling personal preferences: That’s when breaking that $1,000 mark might come into play. But as always it varies from player to player. Magic comes in all prices! Cheers -Ryan
Very very INCORRECT. Inflation has already pushed high quality ETHICALLY MADE guitars outside the $1000 range.
I have a couple of the Epiphone Les Paul Specials and one of these SG Specials. The guitars have the same electronics and same bolt on neck design. All have had to be setup and have had the tuners swapped out, which is a must. Really impressed with how well you can get these things to play. They stay in tune, have low-medium action and are fun to play. However, the SG just doesn’t have the balls that the LP’s have…sounds very thin. The only difference, other than body shape, is the SG is poplar and the LP’s are mahogany or mahogany like wood. The difference is crazy. I even swapped pickups and pots to see if it was the electronics. Put them in a different guitar and they sounded killer. Probably going to sell the SG…some guitars just don’t have “It”…no matter what you do to them.
first song name?
I just make this stuff up as I make the videos… you are free to give it a name if you’d like. Cheers -Ryan
Dude stop doing reviews and start recording! Sick riffs!😮
