0:42 the low E string isn't in the saddle

Are they bastard expensive? Yes. Is it MUCH cheaper than buying a custom shop Gibson that's barely different that goes for 10x the price? Yes.

I'm so glad these exist, awesome addition :)

A new Epiphone and again we talk about the price!
My answer is: grab one, play one, feel one and then think it over again! These guitars are in the "price middle sector" of the Epiphone/Gibson products.

Epiphone/Gibson has produced a big "marketing mistake" by not making clear WHAT these guitars really are - and so people must see them as budget guitars. And thats wrong!
I own a Korina 58 Flying V from the actual run, bought it from Thomann for 1195 € and this guitar is AMAZING! Korina body WITHOUT veneer, Gibson PUs and electronic. Plays wonderful, sounds great and is the closest thing ever to the "real thing" if you can´t afford the custom shop version for nearly 10.000 €. Has really nothing in common with the past "Korina Flying V´s" from Epiphone. I can say this, because I own one of them, too!

fun fact: the original one is on display at the rock and roll hall of fame

Day one, I'd swap out that Epiphone truss rod cover for a Gibcon.

[tomaslopez]

$1500?? What happened to Epiphone being the affordable Gibson? Also, at that price it needs to have a rosewood fretboard! Fender just released the $800 Player II with rosewood, and Yamaha has always used rosewood on it's Pacificas and Revstars!

[yoshikigrg]

That's not how you play a flying V sitting down bruh but great video. 👌 🔥

[kennyblackbird]

Jimi wouldn't even think about touching that Maestro Vibrola but he had it wrong! That trem can do subtle wobbles to dive bombs! All it needs is a little lubricant on the nut and bridge and it will stay in tune. Not a bad deal save for the price. It should be just eleven hundred and nothing more. I'm a Strat player but I do own a 2021 Epiphone Lucille and that's it, I'm done with Epiphone!

[jeromewagschal]

Great video and thanks for using the Maestro Vibrola 🙂
In most videos the people doing the demos always avoid touching the bar as if it was something nasty...
If there's one on the guitar that's because it was meant to be used...

[anthonymartin]

Ill never understand brokies complaining about the price of gibsons when they prefer a fender sound over gibson. Cant afford a gibson? finance one at guitar center for 48 months at 0%. Im convinced if you could afford a gibson you still wouldnt play one. The horse has been beaten.. we get it. You dont like gibsons.

[johnfritzenjr.]

Blame the higher prices on the government not a guitar builders

[fendafred]

@waltgracevintage8620 Could you please be more explicit regarding the drawing on that guitar? Is it a decal (like the Fender Mex Jimmy Page Dragon Telecaster) or is it really printed/silk screened? Thanks!

[driftlessgeardemos]

You talk about everything but if it’s nitro or poly finish. For $1500 I would expect it to have a higher end finish

[plamenpenkov]

Epiphone product meeting:
We have 2 options:
1. Make a white one with the small white 70s headstock, cheap pickups that customers can swap for a Het Set and sell a gazillion of them, because Hetfield plays one everyday to a sold out arena in present time. Don't even need to pay him!
2. Make a really ugly one that 3 people will buy to hang on their wall, because Hendrix played one that one time 60 years ago before realizing vibrolas sugggg. Oh and put expensive US made pups cause....reasons.

Option 2 it is!

Why are guitar companies so out of touch?

[DK]

For that price you can have a made in America SG, with a rosewood fretboard, nitro finish, at Sweetwater and have beer money leftover … What kind of marketing strategy is behind “lesser products at higher prices”.

[rocktorrocks]

I think it’s overpriced by about $300 but looks really cool otherwise. Anyone wanting to save some money wait a few months. Seen the Epiphone Lifeson Les Paul, Kirk Hammett V and Adam Jones Les Paul all sit unsold and eventually get discounted from the dealer. These will also be much cheaper used as Epiphones don’t hold their value well at all. You’ll prob see this for $900 used.

Hang on a minute an 1100 uk pounds guitar with laurel fretboard?
That is a commercial thing ... i'm not a laurel/rosewood fan anyway ... i mean i think it 's too porous for my fingers ... this is insane ... yes it looks stunning but they definitely saved on the fretboard materials... i mean to me Gibsons or even some Epiphones ( i own a sg prophecy ) must come with ebony fretboards period.
This is a clever commercial manoeuvre and fair play ... but some people will definitely frown at laurel ... which is a lower grade material compared to rosewood ..
I personally think u can't beat ebony as it glides much better but hey ho

[sydguitar]

1500 is reasonable, i think people forget there's a big licensing fee Gibson/Epi has to pay to the Hendrix family

[tomalexiou]

Play some Schenker on this guitar and hit it hard with power chords through an overdriven Marshall.It's TRUE GLORY shall be revealed.

[stockholm]

If it’s such a great guitar, why don’t they offer it, as is, in regular colors?
It’s a wall hanging for Jimi fans. Let’s move on.
