@@RichBischoff i bought a „modern“ Epihone recently and i‘m happy with it (downside: the Pickups aren‘t that good)
the new Epi's are rising in quality and price. NIce demo Rich
I have several Gibson Les Paul´s, when comparing them to some of the more expensive Epiphone Les Paul's its clear that I can feel and hear some difference between them, I would any day of the week choose a Gibson Les Paul over the Epiphone Les Paul, but.. the Epiphone Les Paul's is a really good guitar, there is no question about that. :D
It's not just the head stock change on the newer ones the newer ones also have custom buckers whereas the old ones used burst buckers. Plus these newer ones just look better visually overall. The finishes look nicer And they just look more like a custom shop than they did.
Rich! I'm such a sucker for these guitars. I just got the Epi. custom to add to the collection. Maybe the Gibson headstock pushed me into these. They sound and feel great!! Great video my friend!
Cool Mitch! It felt pretty Gibsony to me.
Epis sure are good these days. Great option at a fraction the price!
I‘m not sure if its worth to spend so much more for the Gibson anymore.
That new Studio just came out with the burstbuckers. I'm wanting that Fender Vintage ii Thinline tele.
Epiphone have improved over the last couple of years and so have the prices. I'm a sucker for a nice flame top and I think Gibson have the edge here. There is still something about having 'That Name' on the headstock.
Great demo. Easy to enjoy your time and chops. I could use a new ax....
Hi Rich, does it need Treble Bleeds on the Volume Controls? Great Review and Demo!! Cheers from Salem, Oh.
I didn't think it needed it, but I don't have a ton of guitars with a treble bleed, so maybe I don't know.
No, it has 50s style wiring, which acts much the same way as a treble bleed.
@@themanalligator4813 Not always tho output loading 50s tone control generally retains more highs than modern wiring. TBs also boost output and change the sweep of the volume control which can be good or bad depending on your pickup inductance and pot taper. TBs are almost always a try&see endeavor.
Thanks!
The pick ups in that are different than the older model with Gibson shape headstock.
Hola Rich, en esa comparacion, esta el "quiq" de la cuestion. De verdad, vale la pena pagar ese dinero por la Gibson?. Yo poseo uma Stratocaster Standard Mex, y una Player Mex personalizada con la elecronica Tim SHaw pickups, y por tener uma autentica Fender USA, estoy pensando en comprar una Am Pro II, pero la verdad, esque me parece excesivo, el precio a pagar. No se si seria muy superior en tacto y sonido, como para que tengas 1000 euros de diferencia. Tu que opinas?....Saludos desde España.
Not sure, sometimes the resale and the fact that it's a legit made in the USA guitar is worth it. Unless you can't put food on the table, then it might not be worth it. I love all my made in Mexico strats and teles!
Heard that many of these are Olive wood and Birch top so that ended my interest.
If it plays well & sounds great, then who cares? Why do most guitar players all of a sudden become timber connoisseurs.
Totally agree with you but the problem arises when they market it as mahogany and maple. Why not be honest and be proud of using alternative woods
For me it’s all about re-sale value.
Wtf
You buy guitars to sell on?
@@themanalligator4813 No, but I don’t keep them for long. I would rather spend the extra cash for a high end guitar as you usualy get your money back. I keep searching for the special one.
I own a 2023 Epiphone Les Paul classic and a 2024 Gibson Les Paul 50s, the Epiphone is a great guitar for the money but you get what you pay, the Gibson sounds better feels better, the neck profile and fretwork is superior, there’s just something special about to Gibson, it’s not just the name on the headstock.The Epiphone is a great guitar to gig with, you don’t have to worry about it as much.
Loved the Demo. I already have an R9 from 2018 and I have one of these on order in Factory Burst. Can't wait for it to come in. I love LP's. I don't buy all the Gibson Hype. This guitar is built better than the standard Gibson guitar. One piece neck, long neck tenon & real pearl inlays. It has a two piece body, but so does the Gibson Standard. The only down side is the veneer TOP & the POLY finish. Oh yes, It don't say Gibson on the headstock. For $5000.00 I can deal with it. If I don't like the poly, I can always refinish it with Nitro. Who know's, maybe I'll sell my R9. But I doubt It.
My buddy has an R9, currently doing a refinish and come to find out it isn’t to the specifications of the description. No long neck tenon and has T binding. Gibson is out there selling bullshit, so maybe check yours.
Waiting for an inspired Epi black beauty with P90s, I betchya that would fly off the shelves
Epi 55 custom
great demo, killer playin', bad ass in fact. I have a Greeny (Epi), and 2 of these '59's (I sold the 3rd one and will buy another one next week. Ice Tea, Factoy 'Burst, and Royal Tea. I have the Custombuckers in the FB, and double cream Dimarzio '59's in my Royal Tea for now, my 2nd Ice Tea will be coming next week. I Gibsonized all my headstocks, including the truss rod cover.
Been impressed with Epi recently. 59 LP is on order. Keep doing what U do😎🎸🎶🤟
The skills are super good Rich! Your playing sounds inspired and refreshed amigo!!
Thanks!
Stunning Epiphone!
Great video and great playing ! I recently bought one of the epiphone inspired by gibson, les paul custom guitars..love it! It can get a bit confusing though...there is an epiphone inspired by gibson custom shop les paul custom model ..with quite a few differences...anyway...epiphone are making some great value guitars..I am presently trying to decide between the epiphone inspired by gibson custom shop 59...the guitar in this video for $ 2,600 Australian or the gibson les paul standard 50's model for about $ 5,000 Australian...opinions appreciated!
I have both guitars that you mention. I hate to say this, but you really need to try them both if at all possible. They are different, especially in the pick ups you get and the neck profile. Indian Laurel vs. Rosewood for the fretboard material doesn't matter to me. They don't feel that different. The Epiphone comes with the high end Custom bucker pick ups. They do sound great but to me they are a softer sounding pick up compared to the Burst bucker pups found in the Gibson Standard. But pick up preference is totally subjective. Get what sounds best to YOU 🙂. The Epiphone is a great value for the buck. Everyone bitches about the $1299.00 list price. I got mine new for $1150,00 plus tax. I got it out the door for less than list price. That's here in the USA. If money is tight, get the Epiphone. I predict you'll be happy. If you got the extra $$$ I think you'll also be happy with the Gibson. They are both good guitars, but they do feel and sound a bit different. Good Luck!!
@@Trial212 Thanks for sharing your thoughts..its helpful for sure
Good afternoon dear friend. Excellent comparison of 2 LP type guitars, great sound. A difficult choice, but everyone has what they want and need in their head, personal preferences and account status will certainly play a role. Thanks for the video. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
Well I have the Epiphone Inspired By Gibson and it is hands down better than my Gibson I had. In fact I sold my Gibson. I will say that all of these comparisons are silly. You’re comparing a $5K guitar to a sub $1K guitar. Doesn’t make sense. I didn’t have a R9 because I wasn’t going to spend that much money on a guitar. I don’t know why it’s so important for people to try to prove the Gibson is a superior guitar. Wouldn’t you expect something that costs 5 times as much to be superior? For all the Headstock Snobs, spend your money on something that says Gibson. It’s your money and your choice. For those of us who couldn’t care less what the headstock says, we have the luxury to buy less expensive guitars that are fantastic. I own the Epi Inspired by Gibson Les Paul, Firebird and the Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop 1961 SG. What a rock and roll machine! I didn’t spend $1K on any of them.
I appreciate the comparison but can't justify spending $6600 on a guitar for a hobby. The Epiphone 1959 is also not sub-1000, it's $1299.
Great comparison, I really couldn't tell the difference apart from a little warmth on the Gibson? great channel and brilliant playing.
Well Done Rich Bischoff.
I have the Epiphone inspired by G ‘59 from 2-3 years ago. I really like it. I play it more than my real Gibson silverburst custom. They both play and sound good, but my Gibson is very heavy. I usually take it if I’m trying to impress people with my gear…ha!
🤣
I am thinking about buying one of this '59 Epis...this one seems to play great and has a beautiful colour that I haven't seen until now...is it a special one made for some dealer?...great review man as always...I bought my '50 s Les Paul Epi in gold top after seeing your review...cheers from Italy👍👍👍
No you can get this anywhere. Check out the links in the description of the video.
@@RichBischoff thanks man
Thanks for the demo ! The difference between the inspired by Gibson 59 and the custom one is way more than the headstock 😅
Yeah, but I have no real access to a real 59. :)
@@RichBischoff I'm talking about the Epiphone at 700 and the one on your video !
@markwilliamsmusic2987 right, the headstock thing was tongue n cheek, some people don't get my humor sometimes.
@@RichBischoff 😅😢
