This guitar was pretty inspiring to play, pun intended! Let me know what you think of these if you've had a chance to try one out. I am shocked how nice this is compared with my Gibson Flying V from a few years back! Check it out here:

I'm so glad epiphone is making stuff like this. I'll never own an original but I will eventually own one of these!

[doug]

Sweeet! A lefty too! You gotta buy this guitar Shane! Fate!!

[caseylee]

If i had room for any more guitars, that one would be it!

[chrisfreeman]

Love the explorer shape, I just could never seeing myself spending that much on an Epiphone though

[sydguitar]

I think it's a shame how people dog on the inspired by Gibson series just because of the price when they are actually very high-quality instruments

[bluesdude]

I had the Harley Benton version as a Christmas gift from my wife.

[anthonyvieni]

Good to see a fellow lefty playing what was my grail guitar and only because I bought it as soon as I saw it was available in left handed and it was worth every penny….
Congrats on getting your hands on one only because it seems like Epiphone is getting scarce especially in left handed and it’s not because of the fact they don’t make them it just seems like left handed guitars are on average more scarce than right handed but even on line it seems like the owners are less willing to part with them….
Which is a good thing I guess lol

[highridgegraphics]

Holy crap. You are making that explorer sing

[Musicman]

Shane, I cannot thank you enough for all of the great demos. Your tones are simply the best and your playing is awesome too.

[jeffmclowry]

I finally bought this model about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it!!

[ronpatterson]

It’s so cool, you have great music stores let you demo new guitars and gear . Keep up great work🤘🏻🤘🏻

[shanebrbich]

That thing is a real unique and special guitar. Sounds awesome.
Nice work Shaneo!

[hughjanus]

I have the ghosthorse and I absolutely love it.
Action can be set incredibly low without a fret level like most brands need to super low action.

[jamalabdul]

While the price will turn folks away, the tones, visual, and build quality seems to justify the cost. I never understood why people get so upset about the price of guitars (the only exception is Australia, you guys have a legitimate complaint). With the amount of quality options, there is a guitar for most budgets. If you have champagne tastes and a beer budget, find a shop that has that guitar and see if they can work with you. Great video Shane, you look like an Explorer kind of

[peterengland]

You should keep it Shane. Best I've heard you play. Sounds like it inspired you! 👍

[MrLespaul]

Could never afford the Gibson but I got this one. Fantastic guitar, the build is excellent and no problems. I love the finish, big neck which I like lovely to play. I had a spare set of custombuckers which I have put in so a bit closer to the Gibson custom shop without the price.

[skipneumann]

Always wanted an Explorer! Maybe this is the one

[cliverobinson]

Shane I’m a lefty and have both. Bought the Explorer first and was so impressed I had to get the V from the same run.

Wow both are amazing guitars, best Epiphones I’ve ever played.

You can get great deals on these as I reckon they were a little over priced

Nice review dude

[michaelmarchei]

Got an EPI 1978 Korina Reissue. Absolutely best and most rock solid axe I’ve had. Used and abused for well over 10+ years and never has had a setup 🙏🙏😍😍😊
