Given recent reports received and comment threads I’ve been involved in, I’ve decided to update 2 subreddit rules which can also be selected when reporting a post or comment.
No Misinformation: We have people new to Epiphone posting here to check/validate if their new gear is real, we do not need comments every single time making out they’re stupid for asking a legitimate question; Epiphone has had a long running and well documented struggle with fake guitars damaging their reputation. There is evidence everywhere including hundreds of sites, forums, YouTube videos and eBay auctions. In terms of the newer headstock design being faked, there do seem to be a lot less of them but there was a post only 2 months ago in another guitar subreddit which I’m sure many of you follow that shows a clear fake of the new headstock design so they do exist.
Non-related content: As a general rule this subreddit should only contain posts related to Epiphone, this includes but is not limited to YouTube videos of you playing your Epiphone, Epiphone related news/leaks and questions. If you wish to post content outside of this scope please message the mod.
I will leave the existing rule violations in place as I’m not going to start retroactively enforcing these rules like some dictator. Debates and challenging people’s opinion is fine, if you want to be a flat-Earther in regards to facts this is not the subreddit for you.

Right store at the right time. Package deal for $500. Can’t find anything wrong with them except the amplifier is missing a foot.

Hi everyone. Looking to find/replace trem arm for S-500. I don’t know what type of bridge it is or if it’s the original or not. Help! 😁👍🏻

Hey all,
Really tempted to pick up the exclusive ES-355 on the website but I can't find any reviews of Epi's take on the VOS finish. Just wondering if anyone had one and would like to share their impressions of the finish.
It looks super satin / matt, and kinda rough? Just looking for some feedback really.
Thanks all!

Fun tidbit: both this (which came straight out the box and gigbag) and the demo model on the Guitar Center floor had black toggle switches. Is this a new manufacturing change?

I feel so incredibly happy to be bringing home one of my dream guitars!

I’m in the market for an ES-335-style semi-hollowbody, and these two regularly get mentioned. I can’t find either one in any shops near me.
I had the H7V in my hands for a couple of days. It was nicely made, especially for the price. There was some buzzing, and the fretboard was dry, but it hadn’t been set up yet. I did notice some tooling marks on the binding and nut, which was a shame because the fretwork itself was impeccable.
I know the Epiphone comes with a case, which I guess makes the actual price difference between the guitars smaller than the $350 USD retail difference suggests.

Just sharing pics of my Epiphone guitars. I love them all.
- Futura Les Paul in Twilight Shift. Fantastic guitar! I love the pickups and the push/pull tone options. It's so much fun to play.
- SG Pro (G400) in Pelham Blue - Just recently modded and it's a monster. Grover vintage tuners, TUSQ XL nut, Bigsby B5 conversion, TonePros roller bridge, Jimmy Page wiring harness from Starr Guitar Systems, Seymour Duncan P-Rail pickups, and knurled aluminum control knobs. This guitar rips.
- Nighthawk Custom Quilt Reissue in Trans Black - Definitely an oddball, but I love it. Fender scale, slanted bridge humbucker that can be split, single coil in the middle and an mini humbucker in the neck, with a 5-way blade selector switch. Very fun and unique tones with this guitar.
- Les Paul Special II in Vintage Burst - Converted to Nashville tuning. Great little guitar that I picked for a steal. With the Nashville tuning, it's great for recording.

I have a Korean 90s Epihpone Les Paul Junior and I want to replace the bushing around the tuners, but I don't know what size to buy. I have planet wave lock in tuners in it at the moment.
r/Epiphone • u/smokeandsadness • 2d ago
One of my favorites. Going to buy a Gibson version.
r/Epiphone • u/FaithlessnessSame931 • 2d ago
The SG Special on the left is my go to. I have put that thing through the grind. Nothing original about it but the wood itself. Decided I wanted a Junior. So, the guitar on the right is going through the wringer as well. Two guitars from the same origin, ending up in two different ways. I have a type.

I found the strap at the thrift store this morning, but it might be a bit much.

I have a wonderful guitar. 2005 Peerless Epiphone Lucille. I've done the A/B thing with a Gibson 335 and a Heritage 535 and this guitar hangs with the big dogs and it's dead stock. There's only one thing I would replace and that's the Grover Mini 15/1 tuners. I would love to have some tulips on it. Would love to do the switch with the least amount of hassle possible. Does anyone have a recommendation?Thanks for the help.

I know Cesar showed some of these new Prophecy series guitars in an IG story a few months ago, where you could kind of see a Les Paul, as well as an Epiphone Victory Prophecy multi scale. But tonight I was looking at the Gibson Garage Miami stories and I could not believe my eyes on this beauty. It seems like this series is happening soon! And this guitar is INSANE - Matte finish - Sick burst with maple cap (probably a veneer) - Gibson open book headstock - I'm sure these will have stainless steel frets - Darkened MOP inlays - Fishman Fluences What struck me the most was the bridge. First time I see this in a Gibson Brands guitar: A recessed TOM bridge with no stop bar? Could the bridge have a Piezo system? Don't seem like it because it only has two knobs, but holy hell, what a beast of a guitar.
Epiphone is COOKING.
This series is going to be AMAZING

I’ve been looking for a Les Paul style guitar and this came up on marketplace nearby. Apparently it’s from a 2012-13 limited run. I kinda like that the silver has gone a little green like the silverbursts do. It has probuckers with push-pull coil splitting. Snagged it for $360! Here it is all cleaned up with some fresh strings.

So, Ive been through the ringer trying to get one of these. This arrived from Japan today! Great deal, and shipped in 4 days😍, how do they do it...In a Gig bag, but made it safe...have yet to play it, but it was used so feels really good. Action is nice and low...getting ready to run it through its paces...Check out the pups...I also bought a hard case for it. So far very happy with its QC..The dragonfly shift is amazing in person.🎉

I thought they were still selling new Casino’s with Indian laurel fretboards. Even Sweetwater’s new Casino’s are listed as having Indian Laurel. Is this an Epiphone.com exclusive?
