Second hand I pick one of these up for around 800 bucks!.. a bit more than and inspired by Epi but truly a better made and spec'd instrument... Fact, the hardest decision when it comes to buying an Eastman is which one! I'd love the p90 hollow body one too!

I like your comparison

These folks that talk with such authority on a subject that, judging by your playing, you know very little about.

Is it a good alternative for Les Paul or similar HH guitar?

you are a compatint guitar player, if you want to get better just a matter of putting in the time. good video.

Cool looking guitar, what is it? ( the acoustic )

My mate Rafael demonstrating why he’s my mate 🤘🏻

Nice guitar just think the comment about your parents not having a lot of money just seems stupid,, maybe if you work harder you can get the Gibson..

Nice find! I'll play anything that looks interesting and has a comfortable neck and versatile pickup switching options. Also good about moving your body is that it has benefits for your brain, too!

Thank ya Raf for bringing another unique and quirky guitar to our attention 😎👍 The body shape reminds me of the old Peavey T60 - Another very cool guitar, with a cool story 😀

I put the cream pick up surrounds on and also chrome “toaster” pick up covers. Cost me about £10 off Amazon for the bits…and such a visual improvement. It does need that lemon oil and new strings, but a cracking geetar for the price.

Im 99% sure im about to buy one, either this or a performer telecaster...i hear u with the headstock, i orob woukdnt have liked it when i was younger (im 48 now), but, with all ive observed over the decades its the hendrix headstock, & the early david gilmour headstock, & i love it now, hehe....my comment has nothing to do with quality or sound i just had tomsay it, haha...anyway, great video:)

Hi Rafael! I've got the same guitar kit, and I'd like to change the 6inL tuners, can you recommend me any good one please? same specs to fit in the holes, if you know any can you please send me the link..thanks bro!

I have the first version 100 with firmware update. When I first got it I didn’t like it. I thought it sounded fizzy. But then either my ears adjusted or the speaker got broken in. But now I love it.

Hello, can I ask a question. I have a studiomaster 700d amplifier and a peavey powered mixer XR684f and two 300watt prosound speakers. Would an electric guitar play through this kind of set up??? I have no idea and any help would be appreciated 🙂

Don't quit your day job bro 🤣🙊

🤩 "Promosm"

Great vid…those live clips sounded awesome…well done👍

Nice guitar! I think that you did well on this project.😉👍✨

Could you pretty please make 4:21 - 4:51 into a short? 😂🤣👌 But yeah It only matters how the pickup sounds and if ya like them 👍 I just had a £20 Vanson HB sized P90 installed on a Starcaster - sounds incredible! (To me 😜)

Sometimes I forget that a guitar, a voice, and a beat is all you need. 👍

I didn’t mean to make this public, just wanted it unlisted, but since it is here might as well leave it

"I have a thing against the offset community" hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah

the important parts are sh*t on the cheap ones and they are expensive to replace if you do all of them you are right, worth much more the guitar itself. it's not the offset communities fault fender don't make offsets at reasonable price that are the traditional stylings of as they used to anymore so people decide oh to buy cheap Indonesia guitar then dump money into it. also you already had this guitar for a while why did you have to message anyone else to get their opinion, did you not form an opinion from playing it yourself?

The best guitar is the one you have in your hands. That Juliet is plenty to take you from here to there. You haven’t played long enough to need to worry about having one of each type of guitar, and once you’ve reached that level you probably won’t want half of them anyway. Worry about the music and not gear.

The main issue with Offsets is that the inexpensive models (Squier and new brands) leave you wanting for hardware. I bought a Xaviere JT 100 (GFS Pickups house brand) and that was $240 plus shipping. I kept the body, neck and pickups. I have replaced the 500k pots with CTS 1 Meg pots, added a .047 Orange Drop capacitor, replaced the switch (JD Moon), and jack (Switchcraft) as well. I also replaced the tuners (OK-ish) with locking tuners and added Tusq string trees. I plan on replacing the Trem and bridge Haylon parts which will cost more than I spent on the guitar so far. The most "cost effective" parts are actually Fender parts. Squier and Import parts are ok at best but they will get you wanting better parts within a year or two. You mentioned certain frequencies, Offsets are really geared towards thicker strings. I would say try a heavier string gauge (I play 12s on mine like my hollow body guitars) and that may help you out.

great video

Great stuff Raf! This is very relevant to my current interests. I've been hunting for the Green 40th Anniversary one for a decent price for a while. Love you cadbury finish 😎👌

Another interesting factor, is that Line 6 has issued a cosmetic upgrade to celebrate Catalyst 2.0. I don't know if that's a factor, but depreciation is high on the 1st-gen models, making them a steal used. I just bought a used 60 for $170 USD online, and I've heard of others picking them up for less. I'm looking forward to applying the firmware update when it arrives. At minimum it should be a lot of fun, for less than the price of a new pedal.

Just a reminder, it's important to be careful about running non guitar instruments through guitar amps, mainly because guitar speakers are not robust enough to handle extended frequencies (for example it's much better to run a guitar through a bass amp (Fender Bassman was designed for a bass first and foremost) than a bass through a guitar amp. Bass and keyboards can possibly kill a guitar speaker in a guitar amp because the cone of the speaker isn't designed for those instruments.

Sounds good for a open mic amigo!😎👍✨

Nice. Good starting point for a sweet T style guitar.😎👍✨

If you want to replace those pots to a better quality I would suggest Bournes mini pots. They have the same "throw* as a CTS (full size Bournes pots turn super fast, so great on Teles with reversed plates if you want to go nuts with volume swells and tone swells with your right pinky) and you will get more of a Fender/Gibson feel on the knobs.

Guitar looks good and sounds pretty decent. What I have been doing on my guitar projects is to upgrade the electrics (CTS pots or Bournes pots, Orange Drop capacitors, Switchcraft jack, and a good switch (Grigsby doesn't usually fit in an Import control cavity so Kaish and JD Moon for me)) which gives the pickups and feel close to what you get with a Fender or Gibson. For Wide Swing Tremolos the best overall buy are the Fender units. The cheap WST tend to be wonky. It's also really easy to end up getting a Trem and bridge that will cost AS MUCH as your kit, if not more (Haylon, Mastery, etc...). Try buying a used Fender AVRI Trem for your guitar. You might also need a shim for your offset neck.

He taught me yesterday

Sounding good…excellent job 👍

Keep a hold of it Raf 😃👍 Keep making vids on how great it is to inflate the market value, then decide if you want to hold on to it longer 😜

i would argue that they are more wanting to compete with LTD and Ibanez, as they have been dominating the high end Import line for quite a while. i like Eastman, but i really dont think they are who they are trying to compete with. as i really dont think eastman sales are anyway near LTD/Ibanez in the high end import market. i also think these High end Epiphone's are going to sell pretty well, simply because both the greeny (which was terrible vallue in my opinion) and the adam jones both sold out really quick at many retailers. these new ones are honestly better vallue than both those signatures especially better vallue than the greeny.

The epiphone Quindoa facility is completely American owned and operated Scott Lewis is the facility manager along with American and Asian luthiers and it's state of the art and only Epiphones are made there so why would a legendary brand Epiphone go after Eastman?

This sounds Os Azeitonas , is this in Portugal or in the UK ?

Unfortunately Epiphone have built the reputation of the licensed Gibson imitation guitar at very affordable prices . To me is very dificult to accept that a simple Gibson Tribute or Melody maker cost more than a Epiphone custom shop . This despair in prices compared to materials used and quality building on both brands it shows how the guitar market is submerged in the lobby of the big brands . This new strategy from Epiphone is nothing more than a cover up to push Gibson prices up . When looking into the used guitar market is crazy how Gibson guitar gone up in price . My opinion is that Epiphone have made a big mistake in the past when they started building their guitar with not open book headstock, this have created for Epiphone itself the reputation of cheap and imitation of Gibson . In othet hand Eastman have the reputation of building high quality guitars to an affordable price compared to the big brands or original brands . Looking at your wall i can see x2 Yamaha SLG200 i have two of those the Yamaha SLG200S and Yamaha SLG200N , they are great . Like and subscribed 😊

Eastman and its not even close

In my experience the Eastmans that I own are already close to Gibson Custom-Shop level for a fraction of the price, so the main target of Epiphone at the moment appears to be the core USA Gibson line. Not sure how that works for Gibson.

The new Epiphone SJ-200 is an unmatched value. No other brand makes THAT GOOD of a J-200 copy. Sigma been making the best copy, until now.

That's a question I'm running into with repairing cheap guitars to a nice playing condition: Continue refining them, or sell it at a loss and move on to another? 🤔

Dead leaves and dirty ground best White Stripes song ever. Good cover! I have the exact same performer Strat and I’m pleased as well. Got it for $820 used in 2024

Can i plug my guitar into my guitar Marshall amp and then into the mixer? And then mixer to speakers?

loving that color scheme.. the choice, combo, and placement. nailed it. and dang, never heard of Coban guitars, but sounds like some good equipment for the price.

I dont like the blue headstock but that guitar is kool as hell bro... Good vid my man. Very kool
