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! 😊.

At last those 'salty priced' Epiphone's they released back in May this year have come down in price with big discounts being offered here in the UK 😃👍 As they now look like a decent value proposition we grabbed a couple to review before flipping in our next raffle 🎸🎸

It's the final chance I get to play the '61 SG Standard before it heads off to a new home, so let's compare it with a P90 version that I will be hanging onto for the foreseeable future 🎸 It's a similar rig but can you hear any difference between these pickups? 🤔

This week we finally take a look at a Guild Polara in the form of this hot rodded single pickup no frills shred machine that they call the ‘Night Edition’ 🔥 It certainly can Chug but can it clean up enough to suit this old farts boomer blues style?? 🤔 Let the battle commence!! 😆🎸👍

It's time to review the final guitar from our January GAS attack and take a closer look at the budget 'bog standard' alternative to the Gibson SG 🎸 It has curves in all the right places and sounds pretty sweet but can £399 really buy you a 'proper' SG? 🤔

Epiphone have at long last released an artiste signature that's squarely aimed at the Gen Z kids and has a price tag to match. But the new Yungblud SG Junior is right up this Old Gen X Boomer Punk's alley too so let's plug it in and get that fleabag loop going! 🖤🖤🖤

What if you could buy an authentic SG that is hand-built with premium parts, by skilled craftsman, with all the love and attention on par with the best Gibson Custom Murphy Labs, but for the cost of a Chinese Epiphone? Let me show you my new number 1...

Not even the high price of owning an Epiphone 'Artiste' signature guitar these days could put me off getting the new JB '63 SG Custom. It's a lovely thing but is it really worth the premium paid above the standard 'inspired by Gibson' range? Join us for a deep dive and let's find out! 🎸

Have you ever spent a big wad of cash on a guitar only to find that a few days later another 'too good to be true' opportunity comes along making you question your own sanity? 🧐🤔 It just happened but I bought it anyway! 🤷‍♂️... my name is Colin and I'm a guitar addict! 😂🎸

Following recent revelations about our love-hate relationship with the Gibson 'lifestyle brand', and a fairly solemn promise that we were well and truly 'over them', yet another SG arrived at our door this week. And it's Pink. I think we need help so let's talk this thing through! 🤨🎸

The second in a series of films looking at my collection continues with a bunch of P90 loaded SG's, a couple of unusual 'standards', and a holy grail vintage junior which takes horny guitars to a whole other level. For those of you about to rock (and those of you too old to rock)... this film is ...

Today we start looking at The Guitaristas 'collection' and no better place to start than with a mixed bunch of tatty old SG's which I then attempt to play in an equally scruffy fashion. Join us and wonder what madness possessed me to buy some of these horned beauties! 😁🤦‍♂️🎸

The release this week of Tony Iommi's Signature Epiphone provided the inspiration for this 'side by side' comparison of our three SG Specials... we pitch the $449 Epiphone against $1499 and $3599 Gibson models and ask the question which one would you buy?

We often refer to guitars as works of art but this custom made SG is precisely that. Made from steel and hewn into the beautiful form of a vintage SG Junior this guitar is the creation of luthier artist Loic Le Pape. It plays & sounds amazing too so join us for a deep dive look!

Following our recent film where we introduced the art of 'arse looping' we received at least one request asking us to show how it's done... so here it is and we also grabbed the chance to mess around with our new Maestro Fuzz-Tone and our old Gibson SG Junior!

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!

When Epiphone dropped this Blonde Bombshell on us late last year I resolved to resist the inevitable GAS attack. Too much cash for an Epi SG I told myself. Repeatedly. Then a dealer dropped the price by £48 and that was all it took. Let's find out it if was worth it!

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...

Following on from last weeks review of the brand new Epi '61 we attempt to answer some of your questions by comparing it to other horny beauties from Epiphone & Gibson. Can we hear the difference?... join in with our fun 'blind' sound challenge and find out... answers next week!

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!

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!!
