The volume and tone knobs look pretty sick. Pretty unique relative to everything else on the market. Hoping Epiphone builds out this USA line with more guitars that can rock hard enough to melt my face off.
knows! $1,800 a piece they are not likely sell many as their usa Epiphone line isn't selling that much any how. Would you pay $1,800 plus tax for this guitar!? I would never pay that much for this guitar. Nah, no way ! I remember back in 2019 I got a Gibson usa les Paul special double cut tribute in cherry with 2 p90 pickups and a nice Gibson soft wedge case for $440 out the door at guitar center! They already had em on clearance prices and there was 2 of em, one black one single p90 and real light and resonant and the other a cherry with 2 p90 pickups that weighed 13 pounds and the most rock hard mahogany you have ever seen! The neck is rock hard maple but this heavy mahogany is way harder, you can't even drill in to the body with black and decker screw gun, it's that hard and heavy! These new ones are much lighter wood like what Epiphone uses. Epiphone in China uses lighter weight mahogany and they don't use weight reliefs and they are still lighter than Gibson.
YES! I’ve been waiting for a 59 Coronet reissue for a very long time since the originals are impossible to find. Just wish they went with the New Yorker pickup but that looks killer.
Hit Curtis Novak up.. he's based in California ..I ordered one delivered to UK and is spot on.. he does a reproduction of them.. and he has several originals he's based them on.. his pickups are amazing
@@Subropontes well some very minor modification needed but makes it sound alot better trust me.. I've often put pickups in guitars and been like meh... This was a game changer.. the new Yorker isn't listed on his website but if you contact him and ask him he will make them.. well worth the cost which wasn't to bad tbh
It would’ve been more effort than it’s worth for Gibson to reproduce it. They would have make a production process for it from scratch, just for these guitars.
I got the ebony reissue last year .. took out the wiring replacing with 50s wiring and new bridge.. got the original volume and tone pots made and SCRATCHPLATE . Had Curtis Novak make a reproduction of the new Yorker pickup shipped to UK from California.. and changed the tuners.. it's now one of the best and most playable guitars I own.. and it still cost less than half price of this one.. But I do love the coronet and this is tempting.. Is it a nitro finish ?
@@afterstars gotoh 3 on a plate vintage tuners. Not saying there they’re better but being they’re aged they’re just aesthetically better. Polished the frets and put some Monty’s relic wax on the fretboard as well. It sounds and looks so much better than the original.
While I love single pickup P90 guitars, I think it's a shame that Gibson discontinued their SG Junior from the USA line. It was about 500 bucks cheaper than this new USA Epiphone, but already so great. But Gibson still makes the Les Paul Junior, which is also cheaper to my knowledge, but also great. I own both the SG and LP Junior and even though I love what Epiphone did here, I'd rather have the SG Junior back in the fold for less money.
Hey, thank you for your question! I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your Coronet! Although they carry the same name, there are a few differences between the two models. It's important to note that comparing the Epiphone Made in USA Collection Coronet to the Epiphone Designer Collection Coronet is similar to comparing a Gibson USA model to its typical Epiphone counterpart. The key difference is that the lower-priced model is built in China, whereas the USA model is handcrafted in the United States, much like the original Coronet from 1958. Additionally, the fretboard material differs: the USA model uses Indian Rosewood, while the other uses Indian Laurel. The USA model features a SlimTaper neck profile, compared to the Medium C profile of the Designer Collection. There are also slight variations in the wraparound bridges, with the USA model having a more period-correct style and different angles. Further differences include the slightly squarer edges of the body on the USA model, the different pickguards, and the volume and tone pots and controls. The USA model also comes with a hard shell case. There are some other differences also, but these are just some I think are important to highlight. I hope this reply is helpful.

The original 59 Coronet had the same pickguard as fitted to the reissue. The thing that is wrong is the pickup the original had a New Yorker pickup. The New Yorker was single coil with a metal cover without polepieces like a mini humbucker with cream plastic ends.
@@colinmcnab6145 is that like the dude from The Hives is playing? I was just saying that I prefer the look of the bigger pickguard and a dogear. Maybe in a few years I will like the look of the reissue but right now it looks weird
Lot of Reverb ads before your videos. Might want to rethink having a monetized TH-cam channel. Plus it’s kind of ridiculous to have to watch an ad to watch an ad.
Very tasty. I expect it'd nice with a choice mini Humbucker or foil jobby (fine as it is though!). Enthralled. I suppose it's not a bad price, all things considered.
Unfortunately for some reason only known to Gibson they didn't recreate the New Yorker pickup. This pickup is the main thing that distinguished this guitar with the 60s Coronet. Definitely a big let down.
why not put there a kinda* right pickup from already reissued Zephyr jazz box to be more autentic? , or put just modern time american made reproduction of "new yorker" pickup? it's just a sipmle slab body guitar with one pickup and this pickup is the main thing... c'mon(
Nope! I love my Chinese Coronet, with a nicer pickguard. US made or Chinese made, they are all imports to me. I paid £270 for mine (b-stock of the shop’s display because it was the last one they had. Such amazing value, and though I consider myself a "tele guy" is secretly my favourite guitar (but don't tell my other ones).
What's different? I just watched a Norm's video that had a '59 original. It had the Epiphone vibrato tailpiece and the New York pu but otherwise looked pretty much the same. Are the cutouts slightly different? Looks like the horns may be a little smaller on the new one and the flats going to the neck may be wider. I don't know. I do know that a Jr is $100 less.
Special run in TV Yellow would be heavenly.
Gibson exclusive. Check the site!
After being mainly fender for many years, im glad im converted to gibson and gibson style.. listen to that tone

Steve Marriott played one of these in Humble Pie. Great guitars.

What tuners did you put on it? I had 50s wiring added to mine with a Jonesy Blues hot vintage p90

WAY cooler looking than an SG Junior

That tone though 👌
So would like to see what the difference is from the other model which is less than half the price as I own one and they are beautiful

Awesome, what a cool guitar!
Sounds great!
Totally digging everything but the pick guard. They should have stuck with the butterfly shape
This, and a dogear P90 instead of a soapbar P90

It's the same shape as 1959 but the pickup is different
Yeah I agree it's a bit too strat-like

come on - THAT price for a piece o‘wood and one pickup? not having it. i went with the cheaper import epi coronet.
Needs a black pick guard and knobs.
Punch of the mahogany.
I have a 62 p90 coronet
Where’s the batwing headstock? That’s what enquirin’ minds need to know.
Can you confirm if it's a poly or nitro finish please ?
I've done some digging .. it's a gloss nitro finish

Money is the reason. Just stuck an existing pickup in it rather than develop a new one
we need one with humbuckers!!
What's wrong with the P90?
@@PeachGuitars nothing, but i like a pickup in the neck and generally prefer the sound of humbuckers and no hum.
@@zaldum386maybe we’ll get a reissue crestwood with the mini-humbuckers
Sounds mean as hell.👌🤪🎸👍
the body looks like a double cut telecaster
What's not to like!
This guy is so much more engaging than the last. Hope he sticks around.
Don't understand why this is more expensive than a Gibson SG? It has simpler construction, less pickups and electronics..

Marriott , Marriott , Marriott.!
That is a £300 guitar on a good day!
right you are, the made in China version.
Epiphone could have given us the classic Coronet design. Yet they give us this monstrosity.
Looks like a Fisher Price toy
Give it time, man. If we’re lucky, this will be the first of many Epi USA solid body guitars.
A bit harsh. I like it and to me it sounds fantastic.

Disagree. I love the was cherry one looks!
Pickguard makes it look like a cheap import. Price is too high.
Did you guys ever get a guitar u didn't like?
