Epiphone "Inspired By Gibson" Collection NAMM 2020

[Dub Revelation]

But sound Good too

 

[Dub Revelation]

I'm checking my YouTube channel and I have a lot of Reggae videos at big festivals where they use Les Paul Epiphone. I do reggae music. And it sounds great for this style. I think that many Reggae guitarists will continue using these new epiphons. I was looking for my tone and with this guitar I found it. I also have a telecaster but the paul sounds fuller.

For us canucks, the new models seem to be coming online at Long & Mcquade's site.

I pre-ordered the '59 in Aged Dark burst this past Monday. It should be here in tick... tick.... tick.... June, maybe?

Does anybody know where this one is the epiphone website?

I can't find it anywhere.

Link please????

Epiphone doesn't have it in any catalog, or advertisement anywhere I've been able to find. Until they get some samples from the production run, it's doubtful anymore photos will be released.

Peace Keith

Grabbed this yesterday at Manchester music. I was picking up a Joe Till, and I saw this 2020 episode standard. It’s nice. Long neck tenon and al..... not a Gibson but close...

Is 50's very nice. How is the neck profile comfortable? "I have the 60's and I like it very much. But I would like to know how to play a fatter profile. Thank you.

I had a look at the new Epi Junior and Special. I wasn't impressed with the veneered Junior but it appears to be finished nicely. On the other hand, the Special's finish is just light enough to see a bit of grain below the yellow. Likely also veneered and nice fit and finish, smooth frets. I didn't play either one

I'd rather have a visible multi piece body instead of veneer. I already have a yellow Epi '07 '57 Junior Reissue, but I'd like to buy the yellow Special as a companion for the Junior.

Cool and entertaining video from Andertons.

Now go buy an LP Special.

I handled one of the new 50s Standards (Epiphone) at a GC this past weekend. It was a bit of a hybrid. It was reminiscent of the D shape we are all familiar with on Epiphones (which I don't like), but because it was thicker, I feel like the the bigger shoulders or D shape just sort of 'worked' in a way it never seemed to work for me on a thinner neck. It filled the hand and was comfortable. Granted, I didn't sit down and play it for a half and hour or anything (I'm a lefty, so that would have been entertaining), but it didn't feel like any neck I had felt before. I actually kind of dug it.

That top is actually nicer than a lot of Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s in the photos online with their mismatched flame

 

[viper007]

Sorry, not a Les Paul but i'm so pleased with this one

 

[Nimco]

Really surprised/dissapointed that the long neck tenon doesn't come standard on the Custom range or the 60's. Why is the 50's line an exception?

The shorter tenon would make you not want to buy it ? Why is that ? What more does it bring, apart from "knowing" the tenon is short or long ?

Don't tell me sustain ... PLEASE.

Oher than "it's his preference", why would you care?
