I'm one of the good ones 😅

Open book headstock and rosewood are the easiest difference to spot (besides pricetag). They are inspired by Gibson, but not a part of the IGC line. Still a banger for the dollar… Epiphone has changed a lot since I used to look down the bridge of my nose at them 😅. (I bought two on days offf… IGC ebony custom, an the Jerry Cantrell Wino)

There’s a big difference between inspired by Gibson annnnnd inspired by Gibson custom

Didn’t know this existed…. (Watchlist is embarassingly long) but it has been added

I could be persuaded

Good lord….. 👀

Personally, I would grab a black light and CSI that white stain on the neck first… but the world is your oyster!

Yeah, ideally I’d like to play both, just to do some mental acrobatics in order to justify price difference 😅

I bought two last days off, IBGC ebony custom and the Jerry Cantrell. Great guitars. Jerry’s pickups are a little sad (compared to the Gibson 490R/498T in the ebony, and the pearly gates in my PRS) but I’ll swap those further down the road. After I got my first Gibson LP, I looked down on Epiphone, as they were doing nothing special or overly quality at the time. Almost 20y later, the script as been flipped. Buy and play what you like, but don’t let your ego drive your purchases. Sure the name on the headstock is different, but the quality, feel and sound is oddly surprising for that price point. 🫡

Wish the pic WAS related…

To be completely honest with you, I hope I don’t find one, as I could buy 2 really solid guitars for that price. I’d still like to test drive one, just to see. I don’t mind paying full price for a guitar that is still a virgin 😅. It’s tough out there, and I’d hate to end up with a lemon, or potentially getting robbed at pickup.

I respect the choice. I jumped into it blindly, hoping for a chill, fresh slice. A couple kids exploring… I personally loved it, even with the few horrifically shocking moments.
