DISCLAIMER: This guitar was given to me by a friend for a review. The latest Slash signature is more of a variety instead of a groundbreaking new guitar. The original Jessica has been in his posession ever since the late 80s and has played a major role in Guns’n’Roses and Velvet Reveolver history. In my video I will try and give you a couple of different perspectives on why you should or should...

The 2023 Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom is a seriously cool looking signature guitar for the lead guitarist/singer of Megadeth.

I have 4 Gibsons and 6 epiphones. The playability is close, but I'm not a fan of the probuckers, which is why I install Seymour Duncan pickups
Hello I love mine and yours ❤
Very nice 👍
Sounds like shit
I had this guitar. It's the LIGHTEST guitar I've hold in my arms. Period.
These guitars are all available for a lot less from most retailers, forget buying direct from Epiphone. These are £729 from numerous guitar shops in the UK
Have u changed standard wire connection to the toggle switch? Because your position in treble (neck) while u playing not rhythm (bridge), it's confusing me...
My local shop has them , i fell under their spell . I like seeing more wood less paint so it suits me,, split pro buckers to tons of tone through modern amps
thank you for this detailed video great job.. The finger board is made out of WPC (Wood Plastic Composite)
@@TheBorderlined Thank you for that info 🤘🏻
@@GeorgeVGuitars It is specified in the Eko web site. Cheers :)
Awesome American Man intro
I have a 2018 Vintage V100AFD and it is awesome. You should that one out.
I have tried it. It is ok
@@GeorgeVGuitars I upgraded mine with a Dimarzio Tone Zone and PAF pickups and CTS pots. Installed Grover Kluson style tuners and a Tone Pros bridge. It's a killer guitar after the upgrades.
zero difference in sound with the gain. By the epiphone. 2000$ more is insane. USA doesn't deserve the extra cash these day. Most people do much better than Gibson in price and quality these days. They are just holding on.
Mmm :>
I got here two years late, but I have a question. What wood is the mast made of?
The what? 👀
@@GeorgeVGuitarsSorry, I don't actually know how to say that in English. LOL
👍🏻👍🏻
🤘🏻🤘🏻
I have NO IDEA why people keeps making these comparisons!? It’s like comparing a Porsche to a Volkswagen 😂😂😂 Just ridiculous
@@svgitana2499 Because I'd take a Phaeton over a Panamera anyday 🫠
@@GeorgeVGuitarsso I guess you like cheap things. Since funny enough I’ve owned Porsches (one of them a panamera) and in my youth Volkswagen I know the vast difference that there is between both brands, as well as the difference between an Epiphone and a Gibson. I’ll take quality any day! 🤷🏻♂️
By the way, I was not taking a shot at the quality of your video at all, I was at the subject because there are so many comparing the two. My apologies if it came across as such!
@@svgitana2499 Nah u are right, I own 4 Gibsons and not a single Epi 🤣
@@svgitana2499I have 4 Gibsons and 6 epiphones. You couldn't be more wrong. My Epiphone wino is my go to
I won't get tired of telling you how much I enjoy your reviews, I think that currently few guitar channels put in as much effort and quality as you do. Keep rocking buddy 🤘🤘
Aww thank you 🖤🤘🏻
@@GeorgeVGuitars Have you thought about doing a review on the new inspired by gibson custom shop line epiphones?
@@p4blovy595 Yeah, bit I uave to but then in order to do it. As soon as I find a good deal I will do a versus video Gibson vs Epiphone Alpine White 👀
@@GeorgeVGuitars 🔝🤘🔥
There is an appetite burst for sale I've always wanted.......!
The gibson includes schaller strap locks. missing on yours.
@@handcraft7983 Yep, previous owner probably took em. Thats an easy fix.
Great review! I bought the same Epi (used) and installed the SLASH Seymour Duncan’s-plays and sounds great! Thanks for posting
Smart man! 🤘🏻
I have a VinTage ( the Guitar Brand ) AFD Paradise Flame from round about 2012 customnized with original Seymour Duncan Slash Pickups CTS pots and Orange drop caps in 50´s wiring and the colour looks like your Gibson this cost me ca. 600€
I had a 2018 Vintage AFD laying around when I did this video. It was good and the color was better than the epi.
At the final same sound, buy the Epiphone, you will lose less on resale. By the way great review !
The gibson holda good value. Thank you 🤘🏻
I love mine. Except... I got Ebony and there aint no returning that bitch even if I wanted to. I love the push pulls.
Killer guitar. Explorer's are so comfortable to play. I got an Epiphone that I hate.
I love Victoria Epiphone. She is the perfect weight and I can sling her around and have fun. To me, she is perfect. If I paid $3,000 for her, I would wear gloves just to touch her. Yeah, Vickie is the girl for me. Feed her a little rice and she's good to go...
I reviewed the Victoria Epiphone. I will try to do a versis video with the Gibson later on 🤘🏻
No other youtuber comes close to the thoroughness of your reviews. Amazing attention to detail. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🖤🤘🏻
Wow epiphone afd is so well made
Yeah its a grwat deal
Would you consider reviewing a chibson,
I did - check out the Chibson Explorer review

Shit, your English is better than half the people born here.
@@johndaugherty4127 Thank you 🥺
I am a big fan of the Pearly Gates in mine and the coil split is pure p90.
@@johndaugherty4127 Sounds like a good combination
Gibson approves the Chibsons. Gibson know the people who are buying them can't afford a real Gibson, but they will buy Gibson parts!
Mmmm, that's not how it works.
Any difference in the sound with three pieces on top and two?
Probably not much
That is cool 🙂 I own two original Shorties from the 80's and 4 Chinese reissues, the Chinese models have been completely customized and I love them... I didn't think much of the two-humbucker model because the absence of a neck pickup makes it sound louder ( no magnet pull where the strings resonate the most ) but after your excellent video I might get one 🙂🙂 Thanks 👍👍
Nice :>
I recently bought an used 2008 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Alpine White. It is quite yellow like yours, and has some cracks on the painting (which I like). Could it have a nitro finish?
@@andre991 Nah, I dont think so. There is a Vintage Alpine version. Or maybe if someone refinished it
@@GeorgeVGuitars yep, I guess it is that aged/vintage version. I found some on the internet just like mine. Thanks!
Gibson Les paul 76 pickup 490r 498t best timbre in a live situation with a band or studio, some of the best sounds that can be torn up in the mix and a great organic and warm sound.. The Emg, with all due respect, are not cool, they have a plastic sound, the Paf Pickups have a lot more quality and definition 🤙💪👍
Yes sir!
Active pickups seem pretty similar in quality I had some with schecter branded active pickups and it was amazing probably rates as good as Seymour Duncan Blackouts i would say.
There is a difference when you A/B compare them but yeah, overall they are similar.
Yeah I'm not seeing the the five thousand dollar difference there's really no significant difference between the two biggest differences is one says esp on the headstock WOW that's one expensive headstock label.
You havent watched the video :>
@@GeorgeVGuitars ain't no guitar worth five thousand
@@patrickshannon4516 For you maybe ;) I hae explained why is ot worth that much
@@GeorgeVGuitarsall the reason you explained do not matter to me I still don't think the esp is worth that I don't think it's worth over two thousand that's just my opinion and Ltd are worth seven hundred at the most.. They are however better than fender stratocaster
It's very had to justify the difference in price of the ESP to LTD when it's in hand and by the sound but once you get into how the guitar is made and how ludicrsy more expensive it is to do it one way than the other then you understand. Whether that's worth anything to you...
Yes they are 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yeeep :>
I have an ec-1000[Korea] Duncan that compares to a LP Standard, so I couldn't imagine the ESP being much better
Mmm :>
1 was slightly better although 2 grew on me
Yeah both are usable :>
Tokai are not allowed to advertise their Gibson types directly to overseas markets. You have to go through a distributor. I even emailed their Hyunsai factory direct and they told me they cannot sell me an SG or LP type. I got a nice Premium Series SG through a shop in Indonesia.
Interesting
Wow
5 /2 /8 on Gibson warranty checklist should be second of May, 2008, not fifth of February.
Yeah its fine ;)
The thing is their shape is NOT the same. The ghosthorse has the traditional explorer shape and headstock. The Extura however has a pointier heastock and is narrower over the middle of the body. Just thought i'd let people know :)
True
What does this guy do for a living to buy all these guitars..
He sells guitars 🤣
It's a john deere guitar I love it!!
Haha could be :>
😮no way
The hardware is crap on most of them. Other than that there preety decent
Yeah they need work but most of them are fine for the money
Като каза Hamer, се сетих, че все още има наличен Explorer за 1000 лева в един тукашен магазин. Изглежда яко, поне визуално. За качеството не мога да говоря, щото не съм пипал китара на тази марка. Ако ти падне, ще ми е интересно да видя ревю (без значение от модела). Иначе, при всичките възможни опции и наличности да си вземеш китара от ЯПОНИЯ си е манящина. :D Евала.
Първото ми видео ;) ua-cam.com/video/j_msr1BPMi0/v-deo.htmlsi=rajb63hB5xPxrcNM
@@GeorgeVGuitars Хаха, баш за тоя експлорър говорех! Изгледах го ревюто, нормални дребни недостатъци за китара в този ценови диапазон. Не е нормално да има по-добър fret work от Гибсън обаче. :D
Нема кво да ти кажа за Гибсън вече... освен да купуваш старо :>>
