tried that one at a Guitar Center. Very good tone. great feel. I ended up getting the Cherry Red Epiphone Tradional Pro. Never regretted it. I love the Tratiinal Pro inspired by Gibson. They certainly have improved on these instruments especially starting in 2021.

I wish Epiphone made ES-339s in purple-y/bluish flamed finishes like this. I absolutely love 339s and how they have the best of both worlds in a way with a shape and feel like a 335 and a solid body size. I also love finishes like blueberry and aquamarine bursts, but the closest they seem to get on the 339 is pelham blue (which is the color I own). It would happily welcome a friend if Epiphone released a blueberry burst 339 though! :)

Last year my wife and I visited the Gibson Garage. It's the first time my wife tried to talk me into buying a guitar, and that blueberry burst was it. I didn't pick it up since I already have a Gretsch. It's a beautiful guitar.

I have the same guitar and I love it. I played the Gibson and just couldn't justify the price difference. Like you, no criticisms - just a great guitar for a great price.

I picked up the Inverness Green GC exclusive 335 at the first of the year after lusting over it for a month. Hadn’t intended to buy any guitar, we were just in there to pick up a gig bag for the brother in law for Xmas, saw the IG hanging on the wall. Even the wife said “Ooh, that one is pretty!” which of course I interpreted as permission😆. I didn’t buy it then, but it gnawed at me for a month before I gave in. No idea how it didn’t sell in the interim. Just love it, the action is as good as my favorite ‘77 Les Paul, plays in tune up and down the neck, stays in tune very well and sounds really really good with the stock pickups. I see no need to change a thing. Only thing really wrong with it is the frets needed a really good polishing and one or two sharp fret ends up at the dusty end, and the 13th fret was a bit popped up. Hammered it back down with a plastic dowel, good to go. The coil split is cool, but I don’t really use it. Overall a wonderful guitar. Sounds as good stock as my trusty old Korean Epi 2002 Dot, but I swapped all the electronics out of that one. The IG isn’t nearly as heavy as the Dot, either.

So, when I was at Manny's music in NYC in the 1980s I bought an Epiphone power bass - it's what I could afford as a high school student. I've always had a soft spot for Epiphone since because it's that kid picking up his or her first or second instrument that keeps music alive.

bought the same guitar, having trouble balancing out the pickups. Any chance you could share your pickup heights treble and bass side? would highly appreciate it - thanks. Love the videos

I purchased a epip es 335 pro about 5 years ago on sale for 360$ instead of the Gibson for 3600$ . What great deal and the craftsmen ship is really great also.Glad I didn't spend the extra

I just bought the Cherry “dot” version from my local Long & McQuade during the 0% financing special. It’s become my go-to guitar because it’s so versatile, balanced, and has a lovely, bright tone. It certainly scratched my ES335 itch effectively! Once I set it up, conditioned the fretboard, and threw a new set of strings on it, it was comparable to a much more expensive instrument.

I don’t have the Epi 335, but I have the Emily Wolfe Sheraton and the new Lucille and love those…. Except for the tuners on the Wolfe. The buttons need the screws retightened fairly constantly, and they’re annoying. I had a Gibson Les Paul Tribute recently, and, while I liked how it sounded, it wasn’t really comfy to sit and play and the neck was fiddly so I sold it. I haven’t really missed it. I’ve been really liking the new Epiphone guitars. I grabbed their 1961 SG Standard with the Burstbucker pickups to scratch the solidbody itch, and that’s been really great too.

Good review and it seems to be a nice guitar for sure. Epiphone has upped their quality control a lot since 2020. If I was looking for another 335 type guitar I would buy one of these, but not that particular color. It does everything that the Gibson version does but for a fraction of the price. Unless it’s very vintage, Epiphones are mostly for playing, not for the resale value.

It would be interesting to see how the current model Riviera stacks up. The Japanese Elite model was pretty good

Very pretty, looks more like Blueberry Burgundy Burst! Whatever the name it makes my mouth water.

i like the blueberry pie Epiphone. Way better value than over priced BIG G equivalent but that G counts for a lot for some people and a Gibson ES 335 will hold it's value well too. This Epi 335 sounded very good to me, looks well made and I love bluberries!

I come for the humor and stay for the review. Great channel Brandon.

I had an earlier Epiphone 335 Pro and for some stupid reason I traded it in on something else, bad decision! I do think it was the best guitar I ever had and was so versatile. I love the new " Inspired by Gibson " line and hope to get one of the 335s again.

It's almost the perfect guitar for me - except the jack location on the top of the body - urgh mines already worked loose a couple of times now in the last 18 months. Other than that though, it's so easy to play and makes you play better

It ain't nothing like listening to a nice warm sounding guitar it makes you feel so relaxed and chill that is until you get hit with a LOUD ASS DISNEY PLUS AD talk about an alarm clock i feel so awake now.

Great video Landon and yeah, I have the Inspired By Gibson ES335 in vintage sunburst ( with dot inlays ) It doesn't have the flamed top but I love mine as it is. It is an astounding guitar for the money and, because I am now accustomed to, and in love with the feel, I honestly wouldn't be in any hurry to swap it for another 335 ( even a Gibson ) There's no point. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and, having played a few Gibson 335's, I can honestly say, although the Gibson is obviously a better guitar, for me, there isn't enough difference to warrant the price disparity. I also have two Epiphone Casino's ( a Vintage Sunburst and a Worn Olive Drab version ) as well as a Casino Coupe and they are all great. I am thinking about adding a Bigsby to one of the Casino's but I am undecided which one, as yet. I have played a lot of guitars over the years and gone are the days when we had to spend a small fortune to ensure we would have a quality instrument. There are so many amazing low cost / high quality guitars on the market today. I have a Harley Benton Fusion T HH Roasted FNT ( a Telecaster style guitar with a flamed maple top /roasted maple neck and fretboard / Wilkinson Tremolo / Staggered Locking Tuners / Graphtech Tusq Nut / Stainless Steel Frets / Alnico 5 Humbuckers / Coil Split and all for around £300 !! - If that isn't great value I don't know what is. It plays and sounds fabulous too. Keep the video's coming Landon. All the best brother. 🙏

Those Epiphone ES-335 offer an affordable way to get access to a decent quality semi-hollow. . There for sure is a huge difference financially but is it worth it?? I doubt it, the Gibson ones are way out of price for most folks and it's not due to the cost of materials given that it's a plywood made guitar..

Epiphone hands down makes the best mid range guitars, at the $500-1200 price range. Best brand for value, IMO.

that dark shade fades kinda quickly...
