Man.. the tone of that headstock is incredible

£1, 200 is the new £500 post-COVID...
Just sucks that my salary hasn't changed....

[xMaoxoaMx]

I can kinda get behind the pricing of the Custom Style models, but man, 1500 bucks for a laurel board? no way.

[kevinsullivanTCR]

I’m perfectly happy with the version before this, came with a case around $600-$800 used is perfectly cool with me!

[shiftystylin]

If I were in the market for a £1200 guitar (I'm not, I'm really poor right now), I'd be eyeing up one of this years' PRS SE models with some change to spare.
But I am REALLY KEEN to see how Gibiphone do with this venture.

[Zoso]

I bought this guitar in Tobacco Burst. I didn't expect the Custombuckers to be THIS good, and the neck shape is really good too. The Epiphones from a few years ago don't even come close to this Guitar.

I LOVE MY 50'S Epi Gold Top Standard. Next to my 2013 Gibson Gary Moore Standard, it's a great Les Paul and my go to axe. I replaced the pickups with Dimarzio master rhythm and Super Distortion lead pickups. It's a true MONSTER now!!!

[Volta_Two]

Do you all remember when the prophecy range came out and everyone was like " whaaaat 899 for an epiphone ???"

[DrJürgen]

I have two of the Epi 1959; its such a fantastic guitar!!! I play it more often than my Gibson Les Paul!

[chrisbailiss]

I bought the £750 (discontinued) version with Burstbuckers last year and very happy I did - at that price back then I assumed it would either be discontinued soon or there would be a hefty price rise. Great value at that price. I don't mind the Epiphone headstock - it is an Epiphone after all.
Spoke to a second-hand guitar dealer in North London a few weeks ago. He has dozens of second hand Gibson's due to a glut of people selling them (after acquiring them during Covid) - so many he can't keep up listing them. Will be interesting to see how these expensive models fair against that backdrop...

[alexvalentini]

That's a blindfold challenge for Rob right there

[bootgrip]

I’ll wait for the new ones to come out on the used market and snag one for $750 on CL in a couple years.

[ronlines]

I bought the old one in Dec 23 FFS! I would've waited had I of known this was on the way 😅 I literally just gave my dark burst version a gentle polish take away the completely flat satin finish and it came out really nice, looks just like the one Pete's holding.

I've got the epi standard 50's in cherry burst which is a great guitar as well, they are turning out some lovely stuff at the min.

[tomstegall]

Absolutely love your demos Mr. Honore’ This is going to make me take a really close look at this new Epi . I just purchased the McCarty se 594 black gold burst because of your demo’s and it certainly does not disappoint. Thanks for being the laid back humble guitarist that absolutely shines when you play, I’ll be watching!

[milkandmeat]

I've been a big Epi guy, but I don't understand what they're doing with these prices. Just get a used Gibson at this point.

[Joey_Freshwater]

$1500 for a maple veneer and Indian laurel fretboard is crazy 😂

[racerx]

All people were asking for was the headstock change... Epiphone were finally getting recognition with their build quality bang for the buck then bam, huge price increase.

[ThethChord]

Guess what people. The prices keep going up, because you buy them! Stop lowering standards, and start saving! We deserve better.

[nickm.]

1299 isn’t bad. All the good parts and a case.

[kiragina.]

Do yourself a favor and buy an Eastman SB59.
