If I may, I think it would be awesome for the two of you to just have a jam session together. Pick your favorite gear and just play over a loop or something. I love seeing that stuff personally

    There is a company called Heritage working out of Gibson's old factory in Kalamazoo, MI that was started by some old Gibson senior employees. This was back in the mid 80s after Gibson moved to Tennessee and these guys didn't want to move their families after working at Gibson since the 50s. They make a similar guitar called the H-155M. It's top, back and sides are all made of solid maple. The top and back are book matched curly maple. The top and sides are carved. The sides are maybe .25 to .5 inches thick and the block only runs from the rim where the strap button is to just past the bridge. The neck is mahogany, and the finger board is ebony.

    I've had a es339 pro for years now and it is among my favorites, for some reason I think the semi-hollowbody thing is something epiphone pulls off very well which you guys demonstrated wonderfully. I think out of all of your videos I have seen this had some of the most soulful and best sounding playing in it.

    This guitar made me appreciate the shape, compact size and scale length of the Les Paul. At 7lb it is ideal for me (compared to a near 10lb LP Standard). As Rob said, it is not too bad for feedback, kind of sweet when dialed in, and less prone than my chambered Thinline Telecaster; much less prone than a full hollow body Casino (now sold). If you like varied musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz this guitar is a great option.

    Hopefully you have Gibson's attention because there is one thing I think ruins a beautiful Les Paul even more than those stickers: the screw holes for the pick guard! I can't believe, in this day and age, Gibson are still drilling holes into their quadruple flame tops to accommodate a cheap pick guard. I bought a 2014 classic and they invented the clip on guard, which, imo was the best invention since sliced bread. Why not apply it to all of the models from here on out?

    6:45 Please Lee:
    Coil Split = Bypass one of the coils from a humbucker so you get a single coil output.
    Coil Tap = Use part of the coil (or coils) from a pickup, so you bypass part of the windings and end up with a thinner sound.
    You can still put two coil-tapped humbucker coils in series and end up with a coil-tapped humbucker (that negates ambient EM noise)
    However when you coil-split a humbucker, you will always end up with a single coil (since you're completly bypassing the other coil, hence coil split), and with the associated "hum bucking".

I plugged into both a Twin and a Princeton and wow, just blown away. For those on a budget don't let the MIC sticker or Epiphone logo scare you. I liked it so much I'm going to go back and buy it even with my others.

    • @SaxJockey
      @SaxJockey 5 лет назад +1

      Did you buy the Epi LP ES Pro? How does it compare to your Epi Florentine? In particular on the bridge PuP? Which one sounds more like a Standard LP? I'm guessing the Florentine because it is heavier/more solid (smaller chambers)? I just bought the Epi LP ES Pro, it's a beauty, versatile, and light, but it does lack the classic LP tight tone on bridge PuP. Well it is a semi hollow ES flavour, so this is an understandable trade off.
      Update: The pickup height was far too high on my ES, I lowered them and now the guitar sings! My Epi Standard (boat anchor) will be sold on!

    • @edwardprete
      @edwardprete 5 лет назад

      SaxJockey only seeing this now. Ironically I’ve been playing my Florentine a lot lately. I never went back for the ES pro. Pickups are the same I believe. Btw mine has incredible sustain. I am considering selling my Epi standard (with Gibson internals) as I do play my Gibson studio deluxe and ri’s most.

    • @SaxJockey
      @SaxJockey 5 лет назад

      @@edwardprete Thanks for the reply. I am very happy with my Epi ES Pro, I sold the solid (boat anchor) LP Standard. To get the best from the LP ES (for my taste) I adjusted the pole pieces on both PuPs slightly (mainly the bridge). I raised the middle poles (DG) slightly, that gave a better balance on chords. Apparently the ES body tends to emphasise the bass and treble and it seemed to lack the mid-range of a solid LP. The minor adjustment made a big improvement and nice balance.

    Hey Guys...great stuff. I managed to find a NOS ES here. Picking it up tomorrow. I will record with it on a good quality valve amp. The reason for hollow body guitars( correct me if I'm wrong), they were pre electricity guitars or weak signal electrics on stage."THE" whole purpose of a guitar is resonance, the more the better at the proper frequency. Wood type, shape, among many other things all play a part in how a guitar sounds.These things are meant to "vibrate" . I really like how this epi hollow brings out more bass , which the solid versions seem to lack clear bass, unless you pour enough effects on...I ordered the same one as Lee demos here. Awesome channel .You guys are a thorough, no bs," say it like it is" bunch. Glad you are here. Don't go anywhere, we need you...All the best.

      Maybe they forgot, they play so many guitars. I'd be interested to know how they compare. I assume the Florentine sounds more like a LP because the body is made from mahogany with some chambering, whereas the body of the ES is a true ES construction of maple ply (more air) with a small mahogany centre block. I have the ES, it's a great guitar.

    Man. I have to say I love riffy Chappers more than shreddy Chappers. Also. If you live the hollow LP's so much, look at the solidbody Gretsch guitars with a TV Jones PowerTron Plus (they're not solid and those pickups are pure ROCK)

      I agree, they should also make a chambered version. But I do love my LP ES in Wine Red, Flame Maple Top....that colour is most appropriate for an ES themed guitar, f holes and all 👍.

  • @leejk3926
    @leejk3926 7 лет назад

    Whilst I do agree about the stickers looking tacky, there is something very satisfying about taking them off of the pickup covers when you take your new guitar home. Of course, they could be left on the stock versions of the guitars that customers get rather than the ones on display.

    I agree they are not Les Paul sounding but I disagree on the 335 reference, these guitars are more ES in character than you found. I have one and it nails 335 tones, if I was to try and measure it I'd say they are 90% ES 335.

    Thanks for te video- I have tested this very model today for one hour- Beautiful guitar - and I have to say I like it very much - either the feeling of the neck and the sound - splittable pick ups don't look like making a very strong impact - one main problem !!! I have been playing for almost one hour as said and I needed to tune the guitar several times - Now I don't' know if this was my one or is this a normal thing for this guitar? (sure I know already of the famous straggle Gibson and similar have with tuning but I think it was too much - In a gig probably would stay in tune for one song only) - Any suggestion or comment ? any hint? any advise? - Thanks again - Mauro

    • @SaxJockey
      @SaxJockey 2 года назад

      I have this guitar. It keeps tune OK (for a Les Paul). Maybe the one you tried had fresh strings (not stretched) or/and no lubrication on the nut/bridge.

  • @WoodesosGuitarMods
    @WoodesosGuitarMods 7 лет назад +2

    I think those stickers serve dual function though. If you pick up a guitar at a guitar shop, usually it has scratches around the controls, the pickgaurd and finger prints all over the pickups. Some people, like me, like to be able to remove these stickers at home with a fresh brand new guitar, sans "Lot Damage". More importantly.. have Epiphone begun making guitars with the last 5-6 frets that don't fret out at reasonable action yet? Every single Epiphone I've ever laid my hands on (and thats a heap) has the same problem with the last 5-6 frets. It's like they give up a the manufacturing plant. Some Gibson's too. But for sure every single Epi I've ever touched. Solved only by tapering those frets and recrowning.

      Great to see a comment from a guitar tech who knows what he's talking about. More informative than the one's on who's the better player and what tunes they're playing. Could you offer your opinion on a criticism on this guitar than I read on Musiciansfriend. A reviewer didn't like that the centre inner board stopped at the bridge and didn't extend to the end of the guitar therefore there wasn't enough meat for the strap button to screw into. Is this a valid concern?.

    • @SaxJockey
      @SaxJockey 5 лет назад +1

      @@JS-te4gz It does have pretty good sustain. Just been playing it back to back with my Epi LP Standard. Rob and Lee are correct it does not sound the same as a LP; in particular it does not have that classic tighten LP tone on the bridge PuP. My Standard has Alnico Classic and Classic Plus PuPs. The ES Pro has Probucker-2 and Probucker-3 coil split PuPs (same as the LP Standard Pro). So I guess the tone of the ES Pro is down to its semi hollow maple ply construction, rather than the Alnico Classic Vs Probucker PuP?
      Update: I noticed that the PuPs on my used ES were set way too high. I lowered them to around the Spec values; it sounds a lot better now, sustain is better. I suspect the PuPs were adversely affecting the natural string oscillations.

    Lee needs to stop with this weight=quality bullshit asap. If anything, heavy is more likely to be crap. Heavy mahogany is full of sand and impurities. Good woods are at their lightest version, where all the moisture, and dirt, and everything is gone, they are at their purest levels. There is no such thing as reassuring weight, just a heavy poorly thought guitar. You also don't need to have a back problem to want a light guitar on stage, you should however look for lighter guitars to avoid getting back problems in the future. Well that's what I have to say.

      Nathan Carrille ok. let's put your car together with a cheap metal that will break 100%if you bump something. you wouldn't want it opposed to a steel car would you. steel is heavier and gives reassurance to the driver that they are less likely to be harmed. heavier guitars usually are better quality. not saying that light guitars can't have good quality though.

    Greetings from Copenhagen !!
    I have just send one of these back. It is NOT ligtweight. The nut was so badly cut, that the pinching of 4 strings, made it impossible to tune. Nice with the Groover tuners, but the weight makes the guitar nose dive. Usual not rounded fretends and rough frets. It will play allright after a pro setup, but that should not be nescesary
    A beginner with this as a gift? A week later he plays the trumpet !!
    Very, very good: The Probuckers are really, really nice. Beats much more expensive PU's.
    Fantastic for clean blues with the PU's split. But you already knew that....

  • @borselle

    This is not the same as the Florentine. The ES has a Maple body, Florentine has a mahogany body but biggest dif is the ES is truly an ES style archtop in the shape of an LP (no access to from body back so changing electronics would be a challenge). It is a hollow body (has a center block but is still one chamber, the Florentine is partially hollow out with 2 chambers on each side of the center block. I have the ES LP and absolutely love it, great versatile tones out it.

      Good question, but they are not that similar. Totally different construction. Florentine Mahogany body, large centre block, smaller chambers. LP ES Maple ply body (constructed in ES style), smaller centre block....larger chambers. Both have mahogany neck and Probuckers (on later Florentine Pro). Grovers on ES, Kluson style on Florentine.
