Gibson Les Paul Custom Vs Epiphone Les Paul Modern

Scottie doesn't know.

The tonal difference is very slight
The more expensive one sounds brighter.
A pickup swap would change that and wouldnt cost anywhere near six grand

The Gibson sounds production quality but I’m not a rockstar in a studio so I’ll take the epiphone back anyday I miss mine so much

A bit less clarity with the Epiphone but the difference is fairly minimal with those settings and that much gain.

Don't ask scotty which sounds better... he doesn't know

That riff just took me back too much simpler times. Thanks

you only hear the difference cause you own or stupidly bought stupidly expensive guitars

same recording off a fender

Epiphone is never gonna sound like a Les Paul stock unless you change bridge, tail piece and ALL the electronics

Defined midrange on the black one, result is less muffled sound. Both are probably good enough in specific circumstances.

Depending on how many beers the audience has had ,I doubt they would know 😂

I can’t stand the feel of many cheap guitars. Mainly due to the fact I don’t like poly. Gibsons hold value and sound better. Buy a used Gibson is the better value you’ll probably loose more money reselling an epiphone anyway.

The first

the black one

If it's blind fold testing it's hard to tell which one is Gibson almost same sounds 😊

Still like gibson 😊

Gibson ❤️

Set gain higher. It will be the same.

In this example the Gibson obviously sounds a bit better. More crisp in the high end. But for $6000 I'm grabbing the Epiphone and running it through some EQ to boost the highs and clean up some of the mids.

The custom sounded better but isn’t worth the hugs price tag in my opinion.

bocchi da rock

Swap the pickups with better ones and a better wire harness it would sad practically the same for less

Identical😮

Its a fake comparison...

Epiphone sounded muffled

The real heroes of this video is the EQ and amp

I think that unless you are in a band or recording you dint need to spend thousands

My dad lended me a Gibson Les Paul custom it’s old but expensive and is still in tune after 10 to 12 years sitting

Get the Epiphone, upgrade your pickups

Gibson is better but not that much better

Scotty doesn’t know!!! Lol

ESP has gibson smoked. I've got an Eclipse that is every inch that gibson and more for just over half the price.
Zero tuning stability issues to boot.

Excellent guitar most people don't start off playing inexpensive Gibson Les Paul guitar let's keep it real y'all 🤔

We can clearly see from the face you're making

Is it true that Gibson suffer from headstock crack ?

"I did her on his birthday"

The Gibson sounds just a little "crisper"(?)... it's got slightly more of a "bite". But not a $5,350.00 bite! LOL

The song is Scotty Doesn't Know by Lustra.

6000

be nice to hear with a good tone.

there are excatly tone differences between Gib and Epi. But, it's not a $5,350

Closer...not to bad!

The Gibson does have a brighter sound . Though you can do some different amp settings for the Epiphone and match the brightness as well . Though the whole purpose is which one inspires you with it's muse . And brings one of those invisible entities floating around you called ideas and communicates through the spiritual realm throughout and manifest itself through the fret board ?? Because money is meaningless!!!!! And if its about funds your facing the animal with a loosing frame of mind !!!! Your already setting the boundary from the get go ! As for that don't even go to Guitar center or sam ash or where ever you go to worship and evaluate money !!

My names Scotty and sadly I don’t know

“Scotty doesn’t know!”

For > $5,000 dollars less. The Epiphone wins for me.

Where is the LTD EC-1000?

Always hated Les Pauls, they feel shit, they’re heavy and their tone is bad. Most overrated guitar of all time. Only exceptions to this are slash and Gary Moore.

Slide up the fret board on the second guitar before playing and I can give you a better answer

second one is much more reverb as I can hear. It's not a fair test :)) But I choose second!
