When I was at the Garage a few weeks ago, I played the hell out of it ! The first thing I would do is go to Music City Bridge and pick up a Studfinder bridge and lock-in studs , then it would come home with me 🤘🏼
I have a 1956 ES 125, single P90. I also have a 1965 firebird III "platypus" transition model with two P90s. They have incredible mojo. love the sound and what you played, Brother! Awesome as always, thanks!
From Jeremy: That's the best tune I've heard anyone play on their channel lately!! Awesome!! Don't think I can part with $1000 for an epiphone tho, their pricing lately on some of these guitars sounds like someone's been hitting the pipe too much lmao!! Happy holidays!!
Excellent playing ! Great sounding pup p90s really have that unbridled raw hit you in the face sound that takes a pretty good guitar player to tame and make it there own , you have done that my friend way to go great song too 👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎸🤘🤘
@Ranch5150SkinWalker I have one of those. It's fairly simple I'd say, until the engine fires. Then birds streak from the trees and dogs howl for mercy.
Nice guitar. But for some reason i just dont get into one pickup in a guitar. Unless there are routing space for other pickups underneath. I myself wouldn't be a buyer for that price. Good video buddy 👍👏💯🎸🎸 sounded like Lynrd sknyrd or Marshall tucker band. Sweet 👍😊
Hey man, thanks! Well.. for RUclips I just use a Fractal AX8. I've modified the Friedman BE patch a little in there. (Eq and gain). I'm using Friedman IR's I'm stereo as well. The delay and reverb is added in ProTools in the mix so I have more control did editing later. It's a stereo delay. 250ms left 500 right. 14% mix 30 % feedback. Large hall stereo reverb. 14% mix. 😎🤟🏻
Marty, fast question... what was your complete setup after you plugged up the gee-tar? I really Iked the tone. Please and thank you... I was going to buy the gold version but I bought EVH American stealth gray.
I was simply running a fractal ax8 in stereo into my computer. I was using a Friedman BE model with ML labs Friedman speaker impulse responses. In post... pro tools mix... I run my delay in stereo 250 ms left 500 ms right at about 14% mix 30% feedback And a stereo hall reverb At about 15% mix.
Hey Marty I love your channel. Question, you mentioned that these Epi's come into Nasville for the QC. How did you confirm this info? I know these used to have an "inspected by number in USA 🇺🇸 " but I do not see those anymore. Also the last china factory tour is from 2008 so not a lot of transparency. I am glad you mentioned it I am very intrigued
Thanks man! I was impressed with the pickups. I had a really high gain setting and they were really quiet. Very impressed. The pickups are super crunchy and responsive. I should have set that guitar up with 9's and lowered the action a little. It was set up well... but I need a little sleaker setup. Especially with those honkin' huge necks. Haha. 😂
Must be tough being a tech for a huge company that constantly puts amazing guitars in front of you? I'd probably have hundreds in my collection. 😂 Cool guitar, excellent playing
I think they are a big bit overpriced for what they are from my end, Jared is a nice player etc but he's using customised amps and pedals etc to help him get his bombs off as you do when your at his stance, I think this Epi is more than likely a semi beneath the outer shell, I can recommend a much more affordable option that can go toe to toe with it and beyond in all honestly, it's a sweet little bugger no less but a bit of an artist endorsed sell thing I think, which is always iffy right from the get go.
I just saw the gold ones on line for $749 which is pretty decent. That's a pretty good deal for a Epi LP Custom. It's a stripped down tone machine, with a little tacked on for artist pricing. Not a bad guitar overall. 😎🎵
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Theres the odd secondhand one for sale via the likes of reverb etc/ebay, but the freight cost is almost as much outlay to have it shipped, personally I would not buy anything new or secondhand unless I could test it out first. The latest blue has the same specs and hardware I think but it's only available backorder (time fame arrival unknown) not to mention the very limited and restrictive ability to test one in person likewise) it's $2,000 without a hard case ...like I mentioned, I know of a better option all round which includes the ability to buy a matching hard case still under $1,000 in my region which can go toe to toe easily and beyond the Epi's no problem for killer tone and playability.
Nothing like a single P90 snarl, these guitars really do ROCK. Great playing my friend🤘😎🎸
Beautiful guitar Marty! Loved that piece you played too. ❤🎶🎵🎸
Thanks man! Just a little late night noodle to demo the guitar 😎🍺

Thanks so much man! 😎🍺
Man, that's a good looking guitar. Sounded excellent, Marty!
Thanks! She's a pretty guitar for sure. Epiphone have really upped a level the past few years!
I like that Pelham blue with the gold bridge. Looks nice.
Lovely bluesy lick too man😉😀
Thanks! It's a pretty classy looking guitar 😎

Hell yea…love it…if I was gigging, I’d have myself one of those and rock it all nite long👍
nice demo. great playing.
Been wanting a JJN guitar for a few years now. Really like the Gold Glory one. P90s are my favorite!
Hey man I saw on line last night that those gold glories are like $749! That's a solid deal man. Great guitars for sure !
great review and amazing jam at the end!! awesome!
Looks gorgeous.
I love my epiphone lp special I, with 2 p90s
Cool guitar Marty and you definitely poured on the Blues Power in that jam sounded great 👍🤘😮
Excellent playing

Beautiful Guitar 🎸🎶🎶 Sounds Killer... Nice Playing... Happy Holidays 🎇🎄🎁 🥃🥃 🍻
Good review and love the way you play with feeling. nice job.
Playing something from way back in my past...frikin awesome..👍
Really enjoyed your playing!
Nice! Gotta love les pauls! Thanks Marty 🤘
Thanks man, I really dig the Les Paul's Epiphone has been releasing the past few years. Good quality and sound. I'm impressed! 😎🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Agree! I've bought 2 in the last year! 1959 and the modern! Both great!
Awesome playing.
Thanks so much!
I like it. Simple is always cool. Thanks Marty
I agree, simplicity is cool. Kinda like an old stock classic car or hot rod. 😎
@Ranch5150SkinWalker I have one of those. It's fairly simple I'd say, until the engine fires. Then birds streak from the trees and dogs howl for mercy.

One pickup guitars are a bit polarizing for sure. I like options as well!
Consider reviewing the Reverend Kingbolt sometime. I'd be interested in your take how it compares to a Wolfgang
Nice guitar really like the P90 demos. Can you cover the signal chain ?

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Thank you ! Always nice to see how close a guess I can make. You have my favorite RUclips channel by far 🤘

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker thanks... your tone was fire. I watch your videos... some odd reason I like the tone ... tops # 1 video for as tone.
Great playing as usual!
@@jeffreyrivers1983 I really appreciate it man. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you! Heard straight from them personally. 😎🎵
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Did you ask Gibson support the question, is that how you found out personally?
I wish they had a matte gray one....
That would be cool! I am kind partial to a black one I saw online.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I planned on buying the gold version of this guitar... but I bought an EVH American.
Super 👍
Nice guitar! Great playing too Marty! What did you think of that noiseless P90?

@@Ranch5150SkinWalkeris it the same pick up with gold glory?
@@ademayem6152 belive gold glory are previous iteration. Not noiseless
Blind faith and a killer axe. Cool…
Great looking but the electronics may lack a little
Aw crap, i have to have one 😊
Must be tough being a tech for a huge company that constantly puts amazing guitars in front of you? I'd probably have hundreds in my collection. 😂 Cool guitar, excellent playing
It's hard to resist man. I do pretty good usually. But man... it's cool.
Inplayed the same guitar, and all i could muster was , Mary Had A Little Lamb outa her
She pretty...sometimes simpler is better!
I think they are a big bit overpriced for what they are from my end, Jared is a nice player etc but he's using customised amps and pedals etc to help him get his bombs off as you do when your at his stance, I think this Epi is more than likely a semi beneath the outer shell, I can recommend a much more affordable option that can go toe to toe with it and beyond in all honestly, it's a sweet little bugger no less but a bit of an artist endorsed sell thing I think, which is always iffy right from the get go.

Second comment
$999 for a Chinese guitar?
The wiring is ridiculous for $1K.. Once you upgrade the wiring.. and dress the frets.. you might as well buy a real Gibson..
Beautiful music
Thanks man! 😎🎵
