Gibson vs Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony

DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video. The guitar was given to me by its owner for a review. It is a honest review and represents my personal opinion about this guitar.

The 2022 Inspired by Gibson Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony seems like a great deal on paper but it is even better in person especially when you compare it to the Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul Custom Ebony that it is trying to replicate. I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality and the recorded sound. In this video I compare both guitar’s construction, sound and playability. The Epiphone is a perfect platform for upgrades, the Gibson is practically flawless. Which one you choose it is up to you, both are amazing on different levels.
