Everyone knows the tone is in the headstock.

The fact that a cheap guitar can stand up so tall against an expensive one is proof that we are living in a golden era of guitar Manufacturing

The shop should absolutely set it up and make it the best it can be.  That should be the 1st perk of using a store over drop shipped to your door.

I've never played a £5000 Gibson. But I bought one of these Epiphone 1959's and its the best guitar I've ever owned. It plays like a dream  and sounds absolutely spectacular.

I'd like to hear the Epi 59 vs the least expensive Gibson

After nearly 30 years of playing and owning a wide spectrum of guitars, I've come to the conclusion that the tone difference between a decent affordable guitar and an astronomically expensive guitar of similar build is negligible to the listener. The reason players often seek out more expensive guitars is because of how it looks, feels, and makes them feel when they play it. Unfortunately for my wallet, those qualities are worth the extra money to me. Other players couldn't care less.

These new Epiphones are kicking ass in every aspect and are more than enough for the majority of players. Really great job by Gibson.

These are definitely times when Epiphone gives Gibson a serious run for its money

I played a Gibson inspired Epiphone while I was with my son out window shopping and I was extremely impressed with the new line.  The Gibson pickups and better electronics make all the difference.  The biggest issue I had with Epiphones of my youth is the muddy tone from the cheap pickups. I always swapped everything out with used Gibson parts.  In the states, the upgrade is about a $300 dollar difference between Epi models.  You can barely upgrade an Epiphone with “new” Gibson parts for $300. Add another $100 for a hard case that you don’t get with the less expensive line.  Congrats Epiphone, you got my attention.

As always, get the guitar that you yourself would appreciate the most. Doesn’t matter if it’s an epiphone or gibson, it’s all about enjoying the music you make. 🙂✌️
