00:00Coming from a singer-songwriter background I really needed a guitar that could reflect that and I just did not
00:05get along with solid body guitars
00:06Hello guitar world
00:07My name is Etienne and I'm the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of shoegaze band Whitelands and this is my
00:141962 ES-335 Joe Bonamassa Epiphone and as you can see it has this
00:20Vibrilla tailpiece at the bottom which I eat for my glide guitar fuzzy
00:25Shoegaze MBV kind of stuff. We started working with Epiphone and Gibson at the end of our tour with Slow
00:30Dive and they've been
00:31Nothing, but amazing towards us. I managed to nab this from them
00:35So this one has been just such a perfect guitar for when we started recording our new album Sunlight Echoes
00:41It's got 22 jumbo frets, two Gibson Burst Bucca 3 pickups because I love a simple guitar
00:47I don't like complicated buttons and all that but this one just seems to work for me
00:51I just plug in and start playing. Epiphone has such an important part to play in shoegaze from Slow Dive
00:58to Lush to Ride
00:59It just you can never get away from this and I'm such a happy and proud person to be part
01:04of that history now
01:06I'd love to give such a big and lovely shout out to Marshall as well for getting me this 2245
01:11reissue
01:12Love them and you know the amazing team at Edfront and Gibson as well
