    Best $110 guitar out there. This was my first guitar I got back when I started learning 11 years ago. To this day its my main practice guitar and backup onstage guitar. I have other, much better guitars now, but this baby will forever hold a place in my heart.

    I really like classic 57 humbuckers, I put them in my Gibson LP Standard. Great improvement.

  • @israelhv117

    does anyone knows if the action on this guitar is good? im thinking to give one to a kid in my street who wants to learn.

    I turn 19 this month and my main gift from my parents is a vintage sunburst Epiphone Les Paul Jr for £119.99 which I'm soooo excited for. I literally haven't heard anything bad about these guitars but is there anything else I should know about them?

    • @lukeshillinglaw8720
      @lukeshillinglaw8720 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      3 years too late but they’re cheap beasts! Lot of guitar for the money now at £300 new UK little overpriced but great for money Gibson version at £1200 better but not that valve better :)

    You can change the pup if you want, but do yourself a favor and try tweaking the pickup height before you spend your hard earned quid on a new pup that you would have to tweak anyway...

  • @jimmyperalta8662

    Would this Guitar be good for Pop-Punk (blink 182 and Green Day).

    • @jimmyperalta8662
      @jimmyperalta8662 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok, Thank you! Sorry for asking many questions but what amp should I use for Pop-Punk and what Pickups are recommended

    • @jimmyperalta8662
      @jimmyperalta8662 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am in a budget, simply because I want save more. But I was thinking of buying a Fender Frontman (10g) for an amp, would that work out? Sorry for asking to many questions, I am new to Guitar playing

    • @jimmyperalta8662
      @jimmyperalta8662 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alright Man, I'll save a bit more for the amp/guitar. Thank You so much for your help

    • @tycook8952
      @tycook8952 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jimmy Peralta another great amp is a fender frontman 15g. Might be a bit more than a 10g but it sounds great for punk rock/pop punk

    • @ralfhenke8148
      @ralfhenke8148 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you listen to the video???? Of course it is! Billy Joe Armstrong didn't get a Gibson signature model of the Junior for nothing. It's one of his main go-to guitars. And even though the Gibson is ten times the price of this one it's not completely different in character. So....

  • @duaneanderson9492
    @duaneanderson9492 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you for bringing the Les Paul Jr this way , playing the guitar is the proof though words help answer the questions

  • @xavierarmendariz7155
    @xavierarmendariz7155 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Is this a good guitar for a beginner? I want to play Pop-Punk, Horror Punk, Punk Rock, Grunge and Alternative Rock?

    • @xavierarmendariz7155
      @xavierarmendariz7155 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks man, what kind of pick-up would you recomend for it?
      Listen to The Unded, they play Very nice ;)

      Some EMGs if you got some extra money for a metally sound. Should work for punk too.

    Is this the same guitar in the Rocksmith 2014 Bundle?

  • @calebsullivan3955
    @calebsullivan3955 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I looked up videos on reviewing the epiphone les Paul junior because my friend recently got this model as his first guitar and I wanted to know in depth how it compared to other guitars
    I told him my opinion of it based off my experience and testing it out myself but I felt I needed another opinion to be sure

  • @NicholasBrockmueller
    @NicholasBrockmueller 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Doodles, I just checked back with your gibson LP jr video to compare. The Gibson definately sounds fatter, the Epiphone would make a great economical stage back-up to the Gibson, both seem pretty good though. I'm looking forward to your shoot out between the two !

  • @londonpinball
    @londonpinball 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is that trans green? That's a sweet thing of beauty. I didn't even know that was a thing. Where did you get it? And where can I get one?

  • @lanezod6708
    @lanezod6708 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi I have a question is this a good beginner guitar for the price.? (I'm on a tight budget right now)

    • @lanezod6708
      @lanezod6708 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Doodles I was skeptical about it because in Amazon it has now reviews and I normally follow positive reviews

  • @MASTERSLY5
    @MASTERSLY5 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I want to get one for Rocksmith 2014, but I don't know where to start. I was thinking of this one since it would come with the game originally. Or I was thinking Epiphone Les Paul Special I P90 since it is on sale at GC. I don't know anything about guitars.

    • @MASTERSLY5
      @MASTERSLY5 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you very much for the response. I'll go with the Special 2 for now. I was planning to do the 60 day challenge in Rocksmith so I was looking for something for the genres in it.

    • @sorenmartens4727
      @sorenmartens4727 7 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @robdotzler2333
    @robdotzler2333 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was on board with you Doodles for a long time, but when you suggested that a beginner needs to focus on the tones you'd get on a two pickup guitar? You lost me brother. That's like saying, "Hey kid, don't buy that 37 key Sharper Image keyboard you just saw at Walgreens and save your money for a Mini Grand for all the 88 keys!". What? You just said (probably months ago, I wasn't looking) to get a two pup guitar over a one pup as a beginner asked what to do. That was a touch disappointing from a guy I really respected. You should rethink that answer.

  • @solomonoh7769
    @solomonoh7769 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Could anyone recommend me a similar guitar with a single bridge humbucker, like Frankenstrat but more in affordable range? I would love to play some metal tune on such monster.

    • @solomonoh7769
      @solomonoh7769 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @ralfhenke8148
      @ralfhenke8148 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      What you want is Kramer Baretta, me thinks. ;-) Either new (a cheapo axe for 180 EUR + X for a pickup upgrade and a n expert setup maybe) or a vintage one from the 80s incl. Floyd Rose style tremolo. Google them and/or have a look at eBay. ;-D

    I bought used for $67.00 and it was like new. That thing is need help, the tunes got tossed in the trash. New Grovers and a bone nut helped . I put a better bridge. Cool and I like it. I,did put a P90 on it because the humbucker sucked.

    • @robdotzler2333
      @robdotzler2333 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have to disagree in the most adamant of terms Doodles! A new player isn't going to be looking for tones or styles or sounds! They will be looking for the ability to play and then the finer sounds will come later. I'm sorry if you disagree with that, but who learns how to drive a car so they can Tokyo Drift before they can drive street legal?

    • @jonathansefcik473

    • @theball-rocketleague2929
      @theball-rocketleague2929 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Doodles Could you please tell me what the benefit of having a neck pickup is? I really wanna get this for my "first" guitar and will probably make my decision regardless of the downsides of not having one are.
      I put "first" in quotes because my grandpa let me use his guitar (He hasn't played for a LONG time) to practice. The reason I'm acting so fast to get a new guitar is because it has an awful buzzing noise. I opened everything I wasn't afraid to open, and can't seem to find a problem. And it's not interference from other electronic devices, so it must be the guitar (I've tried it on a pc and an amp).
      So yeah. I'm screwed into buying a guitar. If it doesn't buzz, I'm happy. :P

    • @arvinpanganiban5192
      @arvinpanganiban5192 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheBall - Rocket League ., have you tried using other cables? if so...it must be a grounding problem...there should be a ground line going to the bridge..

    • @robdotzler2333
      @robdotzler2333 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not knowing the guitar, I'd guess it's a single coil, not a humbucker. They both pick up ambient electrical signals from around you and can lend to the to buzz you're hearing and that's why humbuckers are popular to an extent. Both can get the interference, but single coils just gobble it up ;-). I'm really spent, so I'll be crashing, but it's a simple google to find remedies. It could be as simple as you need new cables. Good luck, though.

But, since it's so appealing to me and I would buy it ASAP, I wan't to know where you found this color because I can't find the same color for the death of me. If you can help out I'd appreciate it! Thank you and keep up with the videos!
