Had my pick of any guitar in the music store the other day. After playing a bunch of gibsons worth 1800 to 3500 and a couple slash epiphones, I picked up the prophecy and bought it in 3 minutes. Awesome guitars

@@268Brookland Les Paul studio are great guitars for the money . You can always upgrade the pickups or keep it stock. I have a Gibson special faded , bare bones. All I did was upgrade the pickups and it kicks ass . Well made early 2000 Gibson SG . Keep rockin Mr. King 👑.

Blue SG is great and presentation is much more interesting instead of boring blues licks that everyone constantly use. You are great guitar player.

I could have used some blues licks to see if one could coax a convincing vintage tone as well. Jack is great at Blues. Instead I got almost all mindless chug.... I mean theres a Two Rock -right there....

balls to the wall fit the V perfectly LOL

American guitarist: “WOW!” Brit: “That’s rather exciting.”

This is the best review of this series of guitars on KZread. Fantastic. 👍

I was fortunate enough to have found this flying V in a pawn shop. It was the best deal I've ever ran across. The guitar is phenomenal! Highly Recommend!

I was close to pulling the trigger on a Gibson Antique natural, then I seen this purple prophecy. Woaw. Love everything about it and that heel joint 🤤

...and Crazy Babies!!! Thanks for different and cool demos!

damn, you really did them justice, great presentation

The Les Paul and the SG look amazing, and One Step Closer by Linkin Park at the intro was phenomenal. Great Video, hopefully i'd get one of these in the months to come.

I played the V the other day, it was utterly incredible. Came to this video to decide on either that or the purple Extura, but I think it's gonna have to be the V!

Epiphone never been a big fan but has usual Jack's inspired playing got me hooked! I like the V or the SG may have to ban myself from watching Jack play... I want everything he plays!🎸

great playing, great video

That SG looks and sounds amazing.

Hello ! Great professional video! Do u think the flying V Prophecy neck is better than last Gibson flying V slim taper one? Thanks, Marco

Lucky you have the purple Extura. Mine is backordered. I hope I get it soon.

*I love the demo because I love to be able to hear how a guitar I want to buy sounds using a lot of gain and have a guitar tone. 🏆🏆🏆🏆 Excellent demonstration!*

Great playing from Jack🎸

It is so cool, i can see myself buying a couple and installing an evertune and floating bridge each

Miracle Man!!!!!!! Well played!

I'm interested in the SG.. Obviously metal and rock are there...can you squeeze some blues out of those pickups?

I own 3 of them and I’m waiting on the Flying V as I speak. I’m a total fanboy of these guitars I absolutely love them.

Does this guitar work with the Boss Katana Air transmitter? Thanks!

Just ordered the prophecy Les Paul olive tiger, such sick guitar licks!

Miracle Man!!! Zakk Wylde famously used active pickups, so good reference

i see you throwing that Rain by Trivium in there. good work

Just actually purchased one..2021 SG propacy…besides the crack that developed in the finish. (Probably fluctuating temp as I live in New England) it sounds really good and plays nice. Gave it an immediate string change and it feels better. For the $..it’s hard to beat.

Diggin that V!!!

Torn between the LP and the V for my next purchase.

Thanks for playing the v sitting down since people like to act like it's literally impossible

I'm gonna order the black flying v and have the electronics swapped out to run passive pickups. It's either gonna have Seymour Duncans or bill lawrence pickups like my other flying v but its most likely gonna have a sh2 in the neck and sh5 in the bridge. I've played the extura which I loved but I didn't care for the pickups, hence is why I'm swapping out the electronics. Great demo and playing

Great guitars but your playing is superb 👌

Bought the black flying V. Pretty dang excited about trying it out. Great video and playing!

Nice - I plan on getting one myself ASAP. I’ve always wanted a classic Gibson shaped V, but didn’t want to pay anywhere near Gibson prices. I actually prefer the looks of this Epiphone to every other modern V I’ve looked at.

Balls to the Wall!! Get out of here Jack, just an insane throwback! Great guitars as well.

I've got the Les Paul. Big problem with the battery, the lead is way to short and getting it in and staying in is a bugger.

Amazin job kiddo keep tearing it up!!!

Some real ghost fret vibes from that explorer

for those specs, all other import guitar brands would charge like 400 more at least

I guess you could say I ACCEPT this endorsement of these guitars!

I purchased an Epiphone Prophecy Flying V , At the moment there are a few problems and My Retailer is not Co/ operating with the return, love the Sound of the Fishman Fluence Proprietary pups . The V is using Gibson 1958 specs for the body and neck . Let’s see how my Retailer handles my return and my new one . Yes , that’s correct. Love it

So what happens when you pull out both pots that control voice switching? If you pull the volume and tone on the V then wouldn’t you have activated the “PAF” and the fender, I mean “California” voicing at the same time? How does that work? Interesting concept none the less.

I play exclusively single cut‘s Example Drop B On a 25.5‘‘ scale, 12-68 On a 24.3/4‘‘ scale you should go for 12-72. This needs a new set up (wider slots in the nut/bridge and a little truss rod adjustment), keep that in mind. Once that is done, there‘s nothing to stop you.

If the pickups have no magnets, the strings vibrate more freely which may alter the sound a bit...

@digitalchris6681

True. But these pickups DO have magnets !

Anvil Yeah!!

My eyes in the V 😁

It's actually - Active/Passive/Split Coil - not sure where the "PAF voicing" description came from but I don't feel it's accurately portraying what these pickups do.

Jack played Linkin Park!!!!!!!

Loved the Balls to the Wall but you really need to be standing. Sitting and playing that is just wrong. :) Serious though, nice demo and very desirable guitars.

Демо отличное! А вот с серией... лично я каждый раз замечаю в звуке какую-то дешевизну. И она очень сильно заметна. То-ли датчики всратые, какая-то максимально дешёвая версия Фишманов (хотя, звук самих Фишман Флюенс мне не нравится. Разве что у единственного гитариста - Дж. Миддлтона из "Architects"), то-ли перегруз такой (опять же, эта штука наблюдается в каждом демо, так что вряд ли дело в усилках и эффектах). Инструменты по звуку мало того, что абсолютно не имеют ничего общего с их "прототипами" (но это ладно - тут всё-таки, модерновые инструменты в классическом дизайне), так они сами по себе звучат всрато! Ноты в аккордах на перегрузе неразборчивы вообще. Сравните с тем же, к примеру, Ibanez RGAIX6 с пассивными DiMarzio, так там в широких аккордах каждая нотка будет слышна! Не знаю, вроде, и прикольная серия, но каждый раз создаётся впечатление, что за эффектным видом и "напичканностью" скрывается "гнилое нутро" в виде сраной электроники и т. д.

Can be beautifull to use a tuner...

14:55 auditioning for Ozzy when? ... All jokes aside, first time I hear someone play Miricale man intro properly, who not played for Ozzy.

If epiphone would quit making their crap in China, I'd buy it

You're a great player and a good salesman. Also, judging from some other comments, I'm in the minority, but I have to say what I think: Add some robo tuners and you have the full amount of ugliness and silliness that we thought had left for good when Henry Juszkiewicz got canned from Gibson. All these guitars look atrocious to me. WTF is happening?

Terrible colors for the Les Paul. Why didn't Epiphone do them in a blue and purple like the others. Once again they missed the mark.
