Gibson vs Epiphone. An SG Modern deep dive. Plus, a Probucker vs Burstbucker sound test at the end!

In this video I compare my well known Gibson well-known and well played Gibson SG Modern with the Epiphone version. Having never even touched an Epiphone version until this video but absolutely loving my Gibson version it triggered a need to take a real deep dive into the similarities and differences of these two guitars. I'll be honest and say the video was much longer and more involved than I intended originally, but I think it's useful for anyone curious about these two beasts.

I compare the neck feel, measurements, the weights, the carving between the two models, the sound of the Burstbuckers vs the Probuckers, the various push/pull pot functionality and a whole lot more!

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Thank you.
