Summary

Epiphone guitars have quite the reputation. But does their street cred match up with how they sound? Check out my list of the 10 best Epiphone acoustic guitars ever made. @OfficialEpiphone guitars are kinda known as the less desirable branch of the Gibson family. They aren't as expensive, are made with cheaper parts (usually), and don't have the same prestige as a Gibson guitar. But does that really matter? Doesn't it all come down to the sound? Fortunately for you, that's probably the biggest consideration I have when I'm making recommendations. So, after reviewing thousands of guitars in my lifetime, I've gained a certain understanding of what to look for in a guitar. As a result, this is my list of the 10 best Epiphone guitars out there. The prices on this list run from as high as $6,000 to, well, much more affordable than that. There's a little something for everyone here so be sure to check out the whole episode. Featured in this episode...- Epiphone - Gibson - GemsOnVHS - National Guitars- Recording King Guitars

0:06.6	Um, yes, today I'll be sharing with you my 10 favorite Epiphone acoustic guitars, and the
0:12.0	prices of the guitars on this list run the gamut. From $6,000 to $169. Yes, all epis are represented here, so sit down, get comfortable, and get ready for an awesome guitar geek show.
0:27.3	Hey, Tack family, welcome to episode 248 of The Acoustic Tuesday Show. Yes, we are closing in on episode 250. I cannot even believe it. That will happen soon enough, but let's focus
0:41.1	on today's episode. This show is designed to inject your guitar journey with a weekly
0:45.4	dose of fun, focus, progress, and inspiration. A little bit later on today's show, after the
0:51.1	main topic of Epiphone, I'll be sharing with you some comments from an episode
0:56.0	I did long ago on Taylor Swift, an episode that, well, it stirred the pot. So I want to look
1:02.5	at some of those comments and share them with you. Also, you're going to get to see which
1:06.7	guitar lick the tack family is working on this week, it is entitled Fire Up the Chimney
1:11.6	in honor of summertime grilling. And of course your weekly dose of acoustic news awaits,
1:17.5	which includes two very odd guitar finds on opposite ends of the spectrum, a new album coming
1:24.2	out in September that I cannot wait for and much much more. But first,

1:38.3	10 favorite epiphone acoustic guitars. We're going to just dig right into the countdown. Coming in at
1:44.8	number 10 is the Epiphone Pro 1. Costing $189 this is a fantastic
1:51.7	starter instrument. Is it the best sounding guitar on this list? No, it's not. But it's
1:57.4	cost effective and it's a decent guitar for the price. I do recommend getting this instrument set up so that it plays even better. But nonetheless, for $189, this is a stellar guitar. Let's go ahead and give it a listen. The number nine spot is held by the Epiphone Master Built Frontier, coming in at $899.
2:39.0	Now I have to be clear, this is not the USA-made Epiphone Frontier, which is nearly $4,000.
2:46.0	This is the Epiphone Master Built Frontier at $899.
2:50.0	This is an all-solid wood guitar. Spruce top,
