Nice review but what was that wierd sound in the background? – sounded like a reverb tank playing up or maybe some noise reduction artifact…

Gibson bought Epiphone around 1957 and Epiphone guitars were made in Gibson’s USA factory until around 1969. After that, Gibson moved Epiphone production to Asia, where it has remained ever since.

Wouldnt reccomend the ultra. I had a les paul ultra III, virtually the same thing only a les paul, and the thing buzzed like crazy. There was nothing I could do to stop it, truss rod, pickup height, bridge height. Nothing I did affected the buzz. It turned out it was caused from the nanomag pickup. The magnetic field was so strong it caused the strings to buzz and theres no way around it. I resold it and I lost a bit of money on it. I would get a regular guitar. The buzz is too strong.

Every time I look at the 339 in the back, it looks like a slightly-further 335, until Chappers points to it and then MIND BLOWN, MAN!

i agree he’s a more tasteful player but he only knows one scale. also he has a better sense of humour
January 21, 2013, 7:14 amGalaxyHorse says:
The beauty of the 335 style is that you can indeed obtain a high gain sound from them without the feedback issues that plague fully hollow ‘semi-acoustics’ like the Beatles epiphones-it is the centre block which allows this-just see Clapton with Cream when he played his 335, that was high gain!

the Captain is the better guitar player. Much more tasty phrasing!

I love the epiphone ES guitars. I used to own an ES-345 but it was lost in a house fire. I loved that guitar.

Gibson purchased Epiphone in 1957, all the Epiphones played by the Beatles were manufactured by Gibson. They were however still high quality guitars until Gibson moved production to Korea in the 1980s. (I know they were made in Japan throughout the 1970s, though these were still high quality guitars for a more affordable price)

Their jamming is just freaking cool. I don’t really care for the guitars, but that is a great sound.

Oh no—–not these two fools again.

The 345 seems like it’s just about the same as a Lucille, without the black and gold.

Lee may not be famous for his playing skills, but does have a great feel to his playing!

You guys should come up with a blues album. I’d buy it.
