In a packed final part of our review series we reveal the answers to last weeks blind test, try out a Faber lightweight tailpiece, and show you our 'hot tip' as we fit the Monty's PAF's before testing commences. More sound comparisons and fun for guitar nerds!!

To follow the complete series so f...

We get pretty full-on 'Nerdsville' this week as the Epiphone '59 meets our Gibson R8 to compare hardware, software, underwear, and sounds. For many this is ultimate in guitar pornography but for others it's ok as there's also some relaxed chat and a fair bit of playing.

But if you don't like som...

At last we got our hands on a Coronet from the 2020 reissue of some of Epiphone's finest
original models from the late 1950's... it's a keeper!!

In case you were wondering this channel is run to provide therapy for our gear addiction, and importantly it gives us an excuse to buy more. We are c...

Our new Epiphone ES-335 is starting to sound very promising now as we continue to tinker with it's bits and bobs. This week we try out some different bridges and stare down the f hole for days and days while contemplating the wiring loom replacement. Join us on the dark side!

Part One in this se...

Hold tight for the final episode of our epic ES-335 upgrade adventure series as we fight with the wiring loom yet again to install a set of boutique Monty's PAF pickups. So is our most expensive upgrade yet really worth the hassle and cash layout?... let's dive in and find out!!

The pickup outp...

Guitar Nerd Alert!... join us as we mess around with our new Epiphone ES-335 to try and liven it up with a bit of tweaking, some new strings, and some fancy hardware. With sound comparisons at every stage, join to us to hear and see the results!

This week we get tangled up in some serious guitar modifications as we attempt to replace the wiring in our Epiphone 335. Join us to witness the setbacks and frustration, a little swearing, and the ultimate joy as we finally complete the 'operation' and hear the results.

Part One in this series:...

There's no regret or buyers remorse this week as we test out the very affordable Epiphone Les Paul Junior. Its a P90 tone monster and in keeping with all the 'inspired by Gibson' range of guitars that we've bought and played it has made us very happy... unlike some actual Gibson guitars.

If you...

We finally got hold of an Epiphone Les Paul Special from the 2020 'Inspired by Gibson' range and discover it's a 'sort of' TV yellow colour. In-between some chat we run though the wide range of sounds possible. Stick around for the epic loop psycho-dub reggae ending!!

If you don't like the talk...

This week we filmed a shoot-out between the Les Paul Specials we recently reviewed to help decide which one to keep. It turned into a bit of an epic which includes actual data and facts as well as our opinions and plenty of jamming. Stick around until the end to find out the winner!

The individu...

Another affordable guitar gets our attention this week as we take a close-up look at Epiphone's Les Paul Standard 50's Goldtop. This model is 'Inspired by Gibson' and we can think of a few hundred reasons it could offer it's namesake some proper stiff competition. Let's take a look!

If you don't...

Perhaps our favourite guitar of all time is the SG, and this week we are excited to review Epiphone's SG Custom. It certainly looks the part but exactly how close is this version to the Gibson original that provided the inspiration?... let's put them side by side and find out!

If you don't like...

We do love an SG... so today we take a look at the SG 'Modern' from Epiphone's 2020 'Inspired by Gibson' range. Probably best not watch this if you own one and it's your favourite guitar, or you have your heart set on getting one!

We run this channel to provide therapy for our gear addiction, a...

Fulfilling a promise made during our SG Custom review a few weeks back we bought a white SG Standard to compare with an ebony Les Paul Standard 60's also sneaked in recently. Today we review them both and do a 'SG vs Les Paul' side by side comparison to boot!!

If you don't like any of the talki...

Mucho excitement at the studio this week due to the super-early arrival (thanks to #guitarguitar :) of our Emily Wolfe Signature Epiphone Sheraton Stealth. This may be the coolest guitar we've seen in a long time... join us to find out more and check out some glorious tones in the play-out jam!

This week we discover that the best 'beginner' guitar money can buy is also the perfect couch guitar for players of all levels. Affordable, comfortable, bullet proof, playable, and ultra cool... that's the Squier Bullet Mustang and it's a brilliant thing!

If you don't like some the talking or t...

The entry level Fender Squier Bullet Stratocaster came to us for an amazing £115 - but is it really possible to get a 'proper' Stratocaster for that kind of money??... does it sound like a Strat and share the same foibles of Leo's original??... well let's find out!

If you don't like the talking ...

This weeks review of a Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster failed as a couple of issues mean it's going back to the store. But we did still make a film about it and got to play our lovely '74 Telecaster for an extended 3 part play-out jam... stick around for part 3 if you like a wig out!

If you don'...

Telecaster 'style' guitars come in all shapes and sizes with plenty of low cost options for the beginner, but what about Fender's very own Squier Bullet Tele?... a 'proper' telecaster for just £139 is about as cheap as it gets, so what does it sound like?

If you don't like the talking or the pla...

We heard the news about Gibson buying Mesa/Boogie and could not resist dragging out the Single Rectifier for a wig-out with the Les Paul Custom. There's no doubt that Gibson make fabulous guitars and Mesa build first class amps... together could they be the future rock and roll?

We run this chan...

Today we question some modern myths about Gibson, and quality control and customer service at our once favourite guitar store. Someone, somewhere, made a mistake... we just wish they'd own up! With all the kerfuffle we forgot to mention that it still sounds bloody awesome!!

This bare bones tribute costs £500 less than a Gibson 'original' Les Paul Special but at a whopping £899 it's still a hefty ticket price to join the owners club. Is it worth it? only you can decide... but here we take a closer look at our ebony P90 version and coax out some tones to muddy the wat...

Back in 2019 Gibson returned from near bankruptcy with a fresh line-up that included the 'original' collection that paid tribute to their iconic past. With some trepidation we grabbed the wiggle stick equipped SG Standard to find out if the rumours were true and Gibson were finally back on track...

We are back with another Gibson vs Epiphone comparison.... why spend £2200 when you can get a perfectly good Les Paul for just £500? - In this epic (long) video we compare side by side and try to answer that question. Warning: this film may include some clumsy handling!

We bought this Gibson fro...
