    The intro is exactly what ONLY Andertons can do: Remind guitarists everywhere HOW FUN it is to play with your guitar buddies - Silly smiles and spontaneous laughter - Pushing your friends to try and out-shred you - Fantastic unrehearsed music!!! When Danish Pete and Rabea exchange licks - Magic always happens!

    These guitars are punching way above their weight. Good on Epi for being the first brand to take the Fluence plunge. I'm a metal guy, yeah, but that single coil bridge setting is SRV for days. This line is aimed at metal players, but frankly, metal is the easiest tone to dial in; everything else these can do is what sells me.

  • @BizarrePudding
    @BizarrePudding 4 года назад +2

    Having bought a new Epiphone this year (2020 LP Special) I'd say that it's a big bonus that they went with something other than Epi p/ups here....If you ignore the ridiculous amount of "out of the box" high frets that I had to pay to have leveled, the only major complaint I had with the guitar were the EPI P-90s...They were okay, but after 3 months of playing them I had them switched out for Gibson P-90s and the change was dramatic...(When I went to pick up the guitar the tech who did the work said "Man I forgot how good Gibson pickups were...this thing sounds great"...)
    The other thing to check is whether there's a gig bag included - probably not...Not the biggest deal but potentially another expense on top of the price of the instrument...Still, given that you probably won't feel compelled to buy, and pay to install, different p/ups is a huge plus, imo...
    And P.S...Purple Pete had a spectacular outing on guitar today - even by his lofty standards...Forget Tiger King, can't you just picture him in a Barney suit with a matching purple axe?...

      The old clip ear headstock and modern headstock are both traditional epiphone headstock. What people don't realise epiphone are a older guitar manufacture than Gibson. Gibson traditionally was a mandolin manufacturer. Back in day epiphone was Gibson biggest rival.
      Les pauls original log was an epiphone Les Paul worked for epiphone things could of been very different if epiphone had taken Les up on his solid body guitar.
      In many way Les and Gibson saved epiphone.

      @IAmTheLiquor Lahey the question is which amp and pedals did he use?

    Nice. My first real guitar was almost a prophecy. I think it was a GX in a crimsony color. Instead I ended up with a 2013 Gibson SGJ after watching Rob and Lee review them. I stuck around after.

    Looks like Epiphone is now going for a bigger split diamond on the headstock. Nice.
