Ha! Isn't that the guitar that Gibson bullied a small brand over a few years back, Satellite Amps, who bought the trademark for the Coronet when Gibson stopped producing them for years and let theirs expire. He became the legal owner and producer of those guitars until Gibson found out and bullied him into submission with a cease and desist, and under threat of lawsuit he had no means of fighting, coerced him into selling them back the trademarks, and now here we are! I find it hard to believe KZitem's #1 Gibson fanatic either doesn't know about this massive incident or forgot to mention that to the audience in this video breakdown... How has no one else mentioned this yet?!

It also has the Vibrola tremolo bar as well and a Leo Quan Badass Bridge. It has really aged beautifully over the years, and it plays and sounds great. It has a simple one ply pick guard.

At this point you’re literally just judging based on what it says on the headstock. A USA made Epiphone is of the same quality as Gibson USA stuff. There is absolutely no reason to somehow say a guitar is inferior and must be less than $1000 simply because it says Epiphone on it when it’s USA made.

I've always thought that these are basically just double cut teles. Body dimensions had to have been copied. It happens. If you look at Ford & Chevy, Gibson & Fender. In those days were very much copying one another in the height of their competitive rise. Even if you look at offsets. The jazzmaster came first, then you have a firebird (which I love) which is basically a reverse of a jazzmaster, so then later the "non-reverse" comes out which shows how much the body is like a jazz but with hugley rounded off pointed edges.. and if you really think about it a jazz is really just kind of an explorer with much more rounded points. Explorer & jazz both came out in 58'! it's cool to look at certain models side by side in similar release periods..with cars as well. You can see the competitive inspiration. Btw I love Gibson & Fender, so no shade intended.

They just slapped a P90 on it and called it a day. Only positive thing I have to say is that they did the un carved body and Carousel Knobs right.

Should be compared to a LP DC Jr or SG Jr, in addition I felt it was vastly superior to the bat wing models that evolved later, I had a 63 Coronet and a 64 Wilshire when they were new as well as others including a Silver Fox that I found in pawn shops. I missed the release of the 2011 USA Wilshire which sold out very quickly and by the time I caught on their used resale had doubled the original price. I do intend to buy a USA Coronet but have to wait a while, I did buy a new MIC version to kill the pain, I am Really enjoying it.

As far as looks go I think the Coronet made in China is a nicer guitar. The one from China has nice rounded edges making it more comfortable to play, a better looking pickguard, and nicer looking volume/tone knobs. For over 3x more money for USA-made they should have at least given it the appearance of higher quality. $1600 is way too much for such a bare bones guitar, especially when the one made in China is nicer looking.

@@trevor4533 Gibson is trying to bring the good Epiphone back, which is sad how much resistance their getting from people. From 58 to 1970 Epiphone and Gibsons were made side by side with the same quality and they produced amazing iconic instruments but the brand’s reputation got tainted when they went overseas in 1970 and started producing budget guitars. They’re not trying to make Epiphone more expensive to raise Gibson prices, they’re making Gibson quality Epiphones with Gibson prices, like it was in the 60s, whilst still offering the overseas ones as a budget option and I think the plan is to eventually bring the whole original line up back to the US with Gibson quality and have all the options for every budget, but before then people need to stop seeing Epiphone as just another budget brand, that’s why they’re going slow with the transition and people are giving them a lot of shit. Do you want a high end hollow body from them? You can buy an Es330 or a Casino for the same price and quality or get an cheaper overseas one. Do you want a junior? You can get a Gibson Junior or an Epi Coronet for the same price with the same quality or get a cheap overseas one. Want a slope shoulder dreadnought? You can get a J45 or a Texan for the same price and quality or get a cheaper overseas one. Want a square shoulder dreadnought? You can get a Humminbird or a Frontier for the same price and quality or get a cheaper overseas one. You get my point. And their newer higher end overseas Epiphones that everyone is flipping out about is designed to be a bridge between them. So you have very cheap overseas, cheap overseas, higher end overseas, Gibson made american ones and then Custom Shop, 4 levels of guitars, for every budget and focusing on all the models (Epiphone and Gibson) instead of just thinking “Epiphone is supposed to be a cheap alternative” because they weren’t originally. I’m very excited to see what they’re doing with Epiphone, I think it’s a great move and I can’t wait until people stop being stubborn to see all the original Epiphone designs that are much cooler than Gibson’s in my opinion being offered in a high end version, like they used to. I can’t afford a vintage Sheraton so I got a Custom Shop ES355, if Gibson was offering a Custom Shop Epiphone Sheraton with the original specs and quality I would’ve got that without thinking twice because I think they’re much cooler.

People, epiphone is the new gibson, at least, the new gibson for giging musicians, I think that the changes in models are due to gibson trying to achieve a even more exclusive status, but to keep the musicians in line, they are upgrading and closing the gap between a gibson and a les paul, through the open book headstock, gibson electronics, and the price? The price is equal to a gibson 5/6 years ago, for me is very clear that epiphone is going to take the gibson place in stages, and gibson is becoming a collection driven or higher end guitars

Often, when they make a vintage style guitar, Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, they manage to make the nut spacing too wide compared to the old school originals. Or even worse, the radius is too flat.

@@georgeoh-well8116 I stand by my statement- it’s quite reasonable to mock a $1700 USD Epiphone that is of minimalist design. There is absolutely nothing in this belief that indicates immaturity or lack of psychological insight into people’s tendency to externalize their personal frustrations. If you think $1700 USD for that guitar is reasonable, ok, but don’t be disingenuous and say people who complain about it are complaining for other reasons. Its a cash grab

I wish they went with the batwing 6 in a row headstock, rather than the 3x3 with the bikini bottom logo. Bringing back the umbrella knobs is pretty cool though.

I’ve been waiting so long for them to make an import version with the batwing headstock 😩

They’re charging $1700 for a $200 guitar…. Guitar collectors are a really strange type….

Wtf.. a Gibson TV yellow special is the same price. Even after the increase over the past 2 years or so... Im out.

Kind of priced to compete with the Gibson LP Jr, with a double cut… but without the “draw” of being called a “Les Paul”… the one with symmetrical OR asymmetrical body and butterfly pickguard looks better… but I hate the batwing headstock… the Silver FOX does look cool, though

For something that austere I'd spend 1/3 on something Chinese or Korean that's 2/3rds as good.

Gibson is so brazen with their pricing. They're clearly trying to see if they can sell this for 1700, and they don't care if it's a flop. It's like they're trying to figure out how little they can give you for that price.

but the Beato has two pups and attendant controls. I am not that interested in a single pickup or a black guitar for that matter.

they are probable using Beato model mahogany planks so that's why it's thinner? no idea why they would do that when they sell les pauls

I don't know much about Epiphone original models, but I like that they're actually using the Epiphone headstock and starting to make them in America (even if not the same area as they did originally). I hope they continue to do that and show some pride for their own creations

Really blown it with the ugly squared off edges instead of the pretty sweet looking original rounded edges.

Wouldn’t want this Coronet thing but do love my U.S. Casino. A band called The Beatles played them; I guess that’s why the audience is so limited for Casinos? Like, who’s ever heard of The Beatles?

It appears both Gibson and Epiphone need better Quality Control to get their finishes more consistent! How can anyone expect a cool finish when the exact same finish looks so different from instruments to instruments!
