This is Not a Gibson or Epiphone Flying V

$Why I Got the Epiphone ES-335 Instead of a Real Gibson 😎🎸 Is the Gibson name worth the extra thousands? In this video, I’m breaking down exactly why I chose the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 over the much more expensive Gibson counterpart. We’ll look at the build quality, the pickups, and most importantly, the tone. The ES-335 is an iconic semi-hollow body guitar, but for many players, the Epiphone version offers 90% of the experience for a fraction of the cost. I’ll share my honest thoughts after spending some quality time with this guitar in the studio.
