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!!

If you don't like t...

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...

Could this be the start of regular fresh guitar-based content from this fledgling channel?... well with the UK now in Lockdown 2.0 there's not much else to do so let's play guitar and make some movies!

Today we mess around with a very nice yet highly affordable Gretsch G2210 Streamliner Jr... a ...

This weeks review of the country gentleman inspired Gretsch G2622 Streamliner started out with a plan to play some Beatles medleys but the guitar had better ideas and took us on a detour down a 1980's mission inspired gothic rock rabbit hole. No worries... we found our happy place!!

If you don't...

It took a while to get our head around the styling 'innovations' Gretsch have thrown at this new affordable Streamliner P90, but we plugged in and it blew us away with it's easy playing sustain for days character. We were smitten and all was forgiven. Check out our review!

If you don't like the ...

Quite an earnest film this week as we spend quality time with two of our favourite 'affordable' guitars and take a look at how they compare. Apart from the wiggle stick they do look quite similar... so what's all that about? Join us as we look at the Nerdy details and play some riffs!

To check o...

It really doesn't matter what the model number means - the only one you need is on the price tag. Just £459 gets you an authentic looking, sounding, and feeling version of the vintage Gretsch Duo Jet and guess what... its made by Gretsch!! Join us for a closer look at this little black beauty.

These 'affordable' guitars are gaining quite a reputation for being excellent 'bang for buck' purchases so we had to find out what all the fuss is about. Join us at the studio as we check out our first ever bag-fresh Harley Benton.

Our love hate relationship with Gibson continues this week as we compare our expensive and badly scratched Les Paul Junior with the far cheaper Epiphone model. Do they sound and feel the same?... join us in guitar nerdsville as we compare them and try to find an answer!!

It’s pure guitar porn this week as we check out a bunch of highly affordable and adorable singles to find out if they sound as good as they look. From just £169 you can own a P90 loaded junior that has the voice of an angel or the bark of a Rottweiler at the twist of a nob. Get in!!

Here is our ...

Today we look at this Schecter PT Fastback Goldtop... a great affordable T style substitute with high-end boutique looks. We call this is 'Part 1' as a minor electrical failure in the pickup dept requires some investigation and potential upgrades which gives great excuse for Part 2!

We run this ...

This week we check out the highly rated L7 from the 'new' Sire Larry Carlton range of affordable axes. Join us as we scratch the surface a little to see what lies beneath, get nerdy about bridge fitments, and wonder about rusty strings and weird fretboard marks. Beware it's a long one!!

If you d...

We gave Andertons a second chance at making a good first impression with their much lauded 'Sire' range of guitars this week as we bagged a Larry Carlton T7 in Antique White. Join us to find out what happened in this in-depth very nerdy review of this classic Telecaster alternative.
