    I just got a Standard 50's and love the guitar. Especially the neck, it's currently at my guitar tech's, getting a third (middle) pickup installed.

      A very bold mod. Interesting

    I have that same guitar and I love mine too (got it used for $400), ended up putting Phat Cat P90's in it and it is amazing. Not sure I would have kept with that crack but glad the tech could make it good a new. They are Heavy but I dig the fat neck

      I had the phat cat in a couple of guitars. Good choice 🤘🏻

    still have my 2010 Epi '57 goldtop reissue, pretty close spec'd with this 50s, replaced the stock 57 pickups with DiMarzios... keep going back to that goldtop, although I have other singlecuts. Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾🤘🏼

    I have the Slash 'Victoria' and I absolutely love it. Same guitar without pickguard. I understand why your friend wanted his repaired. Mine is the last guitar I would ever part with! 18:50

      Got my eye on the Victoria. Can't justify the Gibson price, though I own other Gibsons. Do you rate the Epiphone Victoria? I think they look / sound awesome from what I have seen on videos etc. I love gold tops and I'm so tempted!

    Nice , I like the way you point out every little detail of the guitar. All of the pluses and negative's . I was thinking about getting one of these Epiphone 50's standard . I like the weight, the chunkier neck and the price point. Where do you rate this epi 50's guitar ,compared to a Epiphone 59 or a epi slash , even the Epiphone wino jj. Top 5 build quality maybe ?

    Impact damage from shipping? The bodies are so heavy if the package is dropped headstock first is usually when this happens. Happened to me recently and sent back for exchange.

    Hate the veneer on the back, why don't Epiphone just book match the wood pieces like many of the cheaper competition brands do. The Epi Pro bucker PAF style PUs sound v good.

    I received today my epiphone Slash goldtop and I also had a similar problem in the same place with the nut in the wrong position.
    With this video, I end up wondering if the problem is really due to bad luck

    • @GeorgeVGuitars

      Send it back to the retailer or at least send them pictures so they know the problem didn't happen later by your fault.

    If this type of crack was on a Gibson you would expect it to be a finish crack since they don’t use scarf joints?

    • @GeorgeVGuitars
      @GeorgeVGuitars  Год назад

      Most of the times with used Gibson guitars yes. On a new guitar not so often. With the Alpine White LP Custom Gibson it is a common cosmetic issue with the nitro.

    Wouldn't that repair be quite expensive? Or would he possibly get Epiphone to pay for the repair or part of it? I have two older Epiphones with that same cracked neck.

    i think neck issue came from hanging on the wall. Solid weight made big preasure on the neck...
