- This may be a very good alternative to the Almighty Gibson Les Paul Junior at a ridiculously low price, I will also take a quick look at the Gibson-inspired Epiphone Les Paul Junior.
The Vintage V120 weighs 6 pounds and The Gibson-inspired Epiphone Junior weighs 7 pounds.
Ps, The vintage V120 was purchased on eBay, not RUclips.
I like channels like this one. A genuine human being doing genuine guitar related stuff. I loathe well known guitar youtube channels where everything is fake and pre-planned, even the "bloopers" are fake.
I’m always inspired to pick up my guitar after watching your videos. I love the Jazz vibe you have when playing unaccompanied. You never sound like you’re “noodling” but rather like there’s little songs in there waiting to come out. See you on the next one Lemuel. Take it easy✌️
Thom, you're my inspiration, cheers 🍻 my friend.
1. Love the shirt. I got to get me one of those.
2. I'm tired of people with tons of money and expensive equipment doing videos.
3. Your personality, skill and opinion is what matters to me and you get an A+ in each of those areas.
Thanks, buddy, for your feedback 👍
You can get that shirt from temu.
I fully agree!
@@lem432Nice!!!
Love your videos. You don’t need a film studio. Keep on the way you are, Lemuel. 🎸
Cheers Tedd, that's good to know 👍 cheers buddy.
Budget guitars certainly have their place. Students or people that are on a budget. They have gotten much better over the years. And like you said, a good set up is usually all you need to get them up to par. Great review here Lem!
Thanks, Earl. Your feedback is much appreciated.
That model is the V130. The V100 is their full-on Les Paul copy. The Wilkinson compensated bridge would appear to be able to correct the LP Junior's major tuning/intonation flaw.
🍻 Cheers buddy 👍
I love P90s...when the pandmic hit I bought an Epiphone Casino and it was my first experience with P90s...love the way they clean up at 7 and get some hair when you dime the volume. That's a pretty little Special clone. Like a tele it's just a bare bones setup that cures option anxiety!
Nice guitar you got there, and yes, the tele is one of my favourite guitars.
Cheers 💯 🍻
I love my tele.I've got a butterscotch black guard one that I play a lot. @@lem432
Epiphone sounds more ‘alive’. More bite too. You could always upgrade the pickup though.
Cheers for your feedback 👍
Another nice one for sure!
Thank you very much.
Thanks Lemuel for sharing!
Thank you my friend, its much appreciated 👏 💐
Nice jazz licks today Lem I've had a few Vintage l.p. jnr's and well set up they're fine but I've always had to put better tuners on to improve stability, they are a great base for hot rodding as and when you can afford. Look forward to next vid.
Thank you for your feedback 👍
It's much appreciated.
Right on Lem😎👍👍
Trev Wilkinson makes great guitars for less cash.😁
One P90 pup, one tone and one volume gives, surprisingly, a versatility of tones😎👍👍
Blues, rock, slide...and more!!!
If needed on the dog ear pup ...shim it to raise it closer to the strings.
Personally like the Jr. for knarly slide tones😁👍👍
Have you picked out a strap for it yet..?😉👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
Richard, you're a star 🌟 Nuff respect. Cheers 💯 🍻
Love ur videos Lem. Nice tone too
Cheers fletcher, much appreciated.
Stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I've watched a bunch of your videos. Have to say you're a great player, it really is nice to listen to your playing. Your tone, touch and vibrato are beautiful and so natural sounding. Thank you for sharing and keep 'em coming! Respect from up north
I'm so encouraged by that comment that it made my day.
Thanks.
Oh wow, you're made my day. Many thanks for checking me out.
I love your channel and enthusiasm you have for your gear!
I appreciate your feedback, cheers 🍻
Thanks buddy.
@@lem432 You are very welcome! I have been going through a very difficult time mentally and have lost my desire to play music like I used to.
In watching your videos and seeing your enthusiasm and love for your guitars, it has helped me to stop and try to make time for playing again. Even if it is just for a few minutes a day.
Buddy, you can always email me at ; lemuel.prime@gmail.com because I have been through dark times, and if I can help you in any way I can, I will. But for now, use your guitar as a therapy tool to find your happy place, Buddy.
@@lem432 Thank you so much Lemuel! It is humbling to know that someone such as yourself would be willing to listen. I will definitely reach out.
I have been watching all of your videos and was able to pick up my guitar yesterday and play a few notes along with you while you were jamming over your tracks. That is more than I have done in months.
I appreciate what you do on your channel and the love you put into your playing of the blues!
Lovely guitar .Well ware! Boiled linseed oil is great on a fretboard to keep the wood from loosing its moisture and darkening it. A few drops on a cloth, wipe on and wipe off . Apply once a year .Its great!
Thanks for the tips!
Cheers 💯 🍻
Cheers for that tip. it's much appreciated.
Set neck to boot! On the Vintage the back of the guitar looks to be black. So you can't see the joints. On the Epiphone? I believe you can see them. There's usually one near where the neck is set & one at the headstock.
Yes, I think you're ✅️ right.
Thanks for the feedback 👍
I love that T shirt
Cheers buddy.
Wow. thats nice. its got a better bridge than a gibson too. I agree with you that is not a rosewood fretboard. some rosewood like tree that grows in vietnam is my guess.
Thanks for your feedback, although it stated on the website, it maybe another form of rosewood they may of used. Cheers for your feedback 👍
Glad i found your channel buddy
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much
Yeah the Epi had the Vintage beat for me Lem, the overall sound was better to me. My budget leans more towards the Vintage but I would prefer the Epi.
Yes bro, I agree 👍 💯, cheers
Your a natural infront of the camera buddy. Don't give up
Oh wow, thanks.
Not a problem@lem432 . Some people just give out an awesome legit positive energy, and your one of them.
@@BossTweed69 I am humbled by your feedback buddy. thank you,
The Rosewood on the fretboard of the Epiphone sure looks to be better quality.
💯 you're right ✅️
You're 💯 right ✅️
I prefer the epi, but I still like the vintage, because it's got it's own charm.
I love your channel.. Great work..👍🤠
I just treated my fret board with Jonhson baby oil.
It's on a video recommended by Gibson and a fraction of the cost..
It's a mineral oil..
That's a great tip.
Thanks
Cheers buddy 👍
@@lem432 no problem.. Glad to help.. Gibson recommended their own oil mostly but said baby oil would do the same job because it's a mineral oil. I'll link the video if I can find it again .

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Lemuel also it is time to set our clocks one hour to spring forward ❤😊
Clocks change at the end of the month
Last weekend of March for UK.
Thank you friend its very much appreciated 👏 💐
I really enjoy your videos brother! Also like the music you play! Long live the blues! Take care
Cheers brother 👍 your feedback is much appreciated, thanks.
Thanks buddy, much appreciated.
Does any company make a budget guitar that is already set up correctly?
Who wants to pay for a setup when it SHOULD be perfect as it comes!
Well, I had several harley benton, which came perfectly set and was cheap. But always be aware that everyone it different. Even when a guitar is set up perfectly, it may not be to your satisfaction.
That's why I have learnt to set up the guitar myself.
Cheers for that feedback 👍
Great playing, and great review! But with a Harley Benton strap??? LOL
😂 I know, it's was next to me at that time, so I use it.
In the future could you please give us a rundown of your pedalboard and use. If you have time.
You're right, I bang on about tone. I need to do that. Cheers, buddy 👍
Hi Thom, my friend, I always look forward hearing from you,especially your comments and feedback, if we inspire each other that's brilliant, cheers 🍻 Thom, I appreciate your support as always.
Beautiful… I think you should try the Sterling SR50, amazing gtrs
Maybe one day 😊 cheers buddy 👍
The Epi costs a lot more than the Vintage, but it's still not expensive. It certainly looks and sounds much better than the Vintage. Edit: it doesn't matter what I think. Which of these guitars can you not put down?
The Epi, although, the vintage has it's own charm.
thanks for the video, great camera work, you been buying a T-shirt on Temu ?
😂😅 you're right. The word is Temu, cheers 🍻 for your feedback 👍
Thanks for your compliment. It's much appreciated 👏, and yes, the word is Temu 😂
The Vox and a Les Paul is a beast of a setup. Enjoy your new axe.
Cheers 💯 🍻 buddy.
😎
Yes, bro.
Hey Lem, Great videos, keep 'em coming!
Looking at the bridge/tailpiece, it seems like an interesting design, with the Allen screw to adjust the tailpiece height, unless I have it wrong. I couldn't really tell, but does it also have setscrews to adjust for string length compensation as well? I've never had a guitar of this design, but I've also heard that it can be almost as versatile as having two pickups! Take care, see you on the next one!
Hi ivandee, Regarding the bridge, the Allen screw is just for losesening the bridge before you adjust the height, then once you have adjusted the height, you then tighten the allen screw, the allen screw in the middle of the bridge adjust the intonation of the e, b, and g strings.
Cheers for your feedback 👍
That’s one’s going to look better the more you beat it up. Lol.
Absolutely 💯 cheers
Is that a Hot Rod Blues Junior you're playing through?
It's a Fender Blues junior 15watt valve amp.
the body shape and carved neck joint look exactlt the same as my HB 550 2 - same CNC programme you think?
I think that most companies do use CNC to produce them and I think a lot of them use the same specs! BTW nice axe friend!
You know what, it wouldn't surprise me if it was made in same factory.
You're probably right ✅️
@@lem432 they are the same aren't they, with a CNC programme, the same thing can be made anywhere that has the tech and machines I guess, even the headstock looks very similar
How much for that vintage axe? It's a fine beast!
I paid £180 for it second hand.
I have that shirt
Congratulations 🎊
Never mind the guitar: where did you get that tee shirt?
😂 got it from temu.
😂 got it from temu.
@@lem432 I just looked on Temu. Spoilt for choice!
Oddly the Epiphone on You Tube sounds better.
You're probably right it's a quality guitar 🎸
