This is probably the longest, slowest, and most nerdy detailed comparison between Epiphone and Gibson guitars ever! 🎸🧐 So grab a beverage and some nibbles and buckle up for a deep dive into what makes each of these guitars tick and perhaps find out why they are so expensive! 😊.

The Guitaristas YouTube channel is still independent of paid reviews and supported/gifted products... it's all the thrills without the shills! 🎸We buy all our gear and the content also costs real time and money to make so our way of raising extra $$ to fund the channel is via the subscription TV Channel at: https://theguitaristas.tv 📺 I am very grateful to my growing army of loyal supporters there who help fund this content, make it possible, and keep it real. You know who you are. 🙏

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.

We run this channel to provide therapy for our gear addiction and for an excuse to buy more. Please like and subscribe and keep coming back to watch our films if you would like to support the channel!
