    I have this in black graphite. My birthday gift as well. I have two Gibson les Paul’s , one a 2018 traditional, and one a 2021 les Paul classic and both are my favourite guitars. This Epiphone is built fantastic . Sound wise very little between all of them. I ❤ The Epiphone les Paul modern. I also have the sg custom in black and gold it also plays and sounds fantastic.
    Look people Epiphone have nailed it, imagine if these guitars had appeared in the seventies? We would all be playing epis now. Just get it.

    Dude, your playing in this video is just off-the-charts exquisite. Approaching Zappa and Peter Green levels of brilliance and soul. Bravo! Epiphone should buy you a week's vacation in Hawaii for the number of guitars you have sold for them. Cheers!🤯👍🙏

    I have one of these in their Cafe Latte fade, and I think people are sleeping on these guitars as they chase the umpteenth Traditional/Standard. If you want an affordable modern take on a LP style guitar, with coil tapping, this Epiphone is definitely one to get. Ok, the pick-ups are Epiphone's own and you can debate their clarity next to high-end pick-ups or even Gibson pick-ups, but as you demonstrated, they get the job done very well.

      @@steveelling9604 sure thing.
      The main reason I bought it was because of the Gibson BurstBucker pickups.
      I have an Epi ES339 PRO and an Epi LP Custom PRO, and those Epi ProBuckers are a bit darker / muddier than I wanted.
      So when Epi released a 59 with Gibson BurstBuckers with a nice top, I had to get it.
      I’m hopeful about this guitar. I’ll let you know how it is once I get it.

    Picked up one exactly like this a few weeks back from a guy at work who is going thru rough times and can't play anymore. I figured owning 9 guitars, I needed to make it 10 ;-) and I didn't have a LP-type axe so I decided what the heck since he only wanted $500 for it and it was only 3 months old...I pretty much bought it sight-unseen, just knowing Epi's are good guitars. When I saw it I immediately fell in love with the color. Playing it...wow, its nice. Whole different animal than my fenders....

      Just need to budget for a proper setup with fret work or negotiate in purchase price. Tech said he’d worked on a few of them and mine was an outlier and warranted a return. I’d expect most should be playable with a quick polish - the frets were just a little scratchy out of the box.

    Yah I just got myself this same guitar, but in the Sparkling Burgandy, both colors are nice, meaning the Pelman Blue. They sell for $859.00 here in Canada, the Gibson version sells for $3699.00, more than 4 times the price of the Epiphone. I also got the Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Alpine white, another great and beautiful Epiphone Les paul, they sell for $969.00 here in Canada, both these 2 Epiphone Les Pauls together are cheaper than a Gibson Studio model, they range in price from $1929.00-$2200.00 Canadian, and they feel cheap compared to my 2 Epiphones, the same goes with the Gibson Les Paul Tribute, it is even cheaper built that the Gibson Les Paul Studio models. If you want the same quality as these 2 High End Epiphones, you are going to have to spend $3000.00 to $7000.00 Canadian for a Gibson Les Paul. Of course we all know that the labor expenses are much cheaper in China than America. But the Chinese have the technology and the machinery to built beautiful awesome guitars today for a budget price. Things have changed over the years. Anyways great playing as always, cheers.....enjoy that beauty! Robert from Alberta, Canada!

    Nice guitar and it sounds like it's going to be a great addition to your collection. I know you like overdrive but maybe you could play clean, really clean for two minutes so we could get a feel for the subtle tones in each position as it would help to hear what the guitar can do. This is the same as these guys that do demos with the amp reverb on 10 or a delay pedal in some ambient mode where you don't know what anything sounds like because it is drenched.

      I agree about the two-tone - that looks awesome (almost like a PRS).
      I'm surprised you had to do anything out-of-the-box. Between guitars for myself and my kids, I've bought about 10 separate guitars and basses, and I think we only had to tune one of them significantly. (Most have a string or two that might be out by 1/4 tone or something; their pre-work on the guitars usually ensures that they are in tune when they arrive and stay that way for a long time.) I bought a 5-string Yamaha bass in April, and it's STILL in tune today from when I bought it.

    Hi Rich. My own birthday is in January. This year, I was a bad boy and bought myself a Fender Modern Player Thinline Deluxe Telecaster. Thinking of an SG shape next year (possibly a Harley Benton). My own inclination would be to get it from Sweetwater if they ever marketed anything preowned (which I know is not their practice). Tempted instead to go with one that's available through Reverb (be it Gibson, Epiphone OR Harley Benton) . What is your opinion on that inclination?
