Tell me about it. Though it has to said, that buying a cool new guitar can in fact help you play better in a way, because it encourages you to play more, for a while at least, until the novelty wears off, and then you have to go buy a new one. An idea I've had recently, that I think I'm going to try out, is to buy a new guitar that I like, and then after a couple of months, once the new guitar euphoria has faded, advertise it for sale for maybe 80 to 90% of what I paid, no rush really to sell, but when it does, simply buy a new one of whatever different model I fancy trying out, and rinse and repeat. I reckon it should work out pretty well. That way you can carry on trying out cool new guitars indefinitely, always with a new awesome axe to rock. I just have to find the initial capital to get started.

I've always been more of a fan of the Les Paul design just simply from a looks standpoint.

Actually i own both and i play the epiphone les pauls more than i play my Gibson les paul. I have a 2010 Gibson les paul studio, and looking at the specs of the Epiphone les paul traditional pro i have they are identical, same mahogany body, carved top and set neck... even the same pickups. Gibson bought epiphone in 1957 Les Paul told Gibson they needed to buy epiphone, he said because "even though he is a gibson man, he has always been an epiphone man." and Gibson listened. they maintained the quality that epiphone already built into their guitars and since 2010 Gibson has ramped up the epiphone les paul and today it is basically a Gibson les paul just a little cheaper (around 600-800 for a great one) don't count the epiphone les pauls out yet.

Hi Darrell, nice video. I speak from experience and started playing guitar in 1975. My first guitar was an SG. I loved it. But like every rock guitarist/enthusiast back then who loved Led Zeppelin, I bought a Les Paul. After having a career in the US Navy, I took up guitar again and tried every style solid body and hollow body electric guitar available in Guitar Center, LP's, SG's, Teles, strats, Ibanez, Jackson, Fender, Squier, Epiphone, Gibson, PRS, Schecter, etc. The first ingredient was finding the perfect feeling neck for my left hand. Then a guitar that fit comfortably to my body without a head stock dive. Then weight and tremolo bar. Much to my surprise, teles and LP's felt like a large block of wood like a kitchen cutting board and wasn't comfortable at all. That meant only guitars with a contoured body. Hence, I settled for stratocasters because of contour body, perfect neck, and tremolo bridge assembly. They were the most comfortable and their necks were perfect in my hand - Modern "C". I settled for Fenders and Squiers. Schecter and PRS were a close second. So I sold everything else and settled on Fender strats. Also, the beauty of strats is the after market options available appears to be unlimited. What I recommend to guitarists is go to a Guitar Center store as they have a 45 day full refund grace period. So you can really test everything your heart desires without forking out and $ in the end until you actually buy one for keeps. The search for the perfect guitar is a personal journey. Also, the lower end models like Squier and Epiphone are very well made and one shouldn't feel the need to fork out $3000-5000 for a Gibson Les Paul unless you absolutely must have it. I have several Fender strats and my favorite playing and sounding strat is a Squier Standard which they don't make anymore. Who knew? Forget the name on the headstock, put the ego aside and try everything.

When you can play like him they all sound good !. When you play like me they all sound bad.

Everybody has to start somewhere. The beginning of my journey was old, massively screwed up guitars my dad inherited, and cheap, massively screwed up guitars I bought while in school in a third world country. Eventually, my dad helped me source some more worthy gear. Keep the dream alive.

Darrell Thank you for another insightful Guitar review! I follow dozens of Guitar related channels and yours is by far my favorite overall 🎸😎John

I'm definitely attracted to the strat and single coil sound, I imagine all the ballads, ska/reggae, or dreamy post-rock I'd play with it. Then I remember I'm a black metal guitar player, so I'd better stick to my les paul.

The Stratocaster was always the one with more soul for me. Also they are way better to play imho.

Owned a Les Paul for 10 years or so and finally bought myself a Strat a few months ago. Absolutely love the Strat, and it also made me appreciate my LP more. They compliment each other beautifully.

Thanks I’m trying to decide on which one, this helps

I've got one of each. The Les Paul is certainly a more aesthically nice guitar and i find the playability is a bit better than the Strat. But the Strat's gorgeous clean tone is something the Les Paul can't get close too. I've rarely been able to get a satisfying clean sound out of the Les Paul. Just like i've rarely been able to get a satisfying high gain sound out of the Strat.

Try an alnico II low gain pickup for a sweet clean sound from the LP.

Great comparison that really helps.

I’ve been fortunate enough to start with a Fender Stratocaster and it’s a masterpiece. :)

Thank god! I appreciate you playing the same riffs on each guitar. So many comparison videos show different guitars playing completely different riffs that it really kills the “comparison” aspect. 🙏🏼

@DatBoi-mo9vc

The strat, is cheaper

Learned and played on a Strat for 6 years then transitioned to a Les Paul just recently. I have rather weak and small hands so even after building up strength in my left hand for years the long scale length of the Strat just wasnt ideal for me especially in longer sessions especially since I was also switching from a rhythm player to a full time lead player, but was still a great workhorse guitar. All that strength build up from the Strat did wonders for me when I transitioned to a Les Paul. With the shorter scale I was able to vibrato, bend and overall play my techniques like never before. Having both is really handy when you're a regularly writing and recording like myself but if you want my take, I say go for the Strat if you want to be more of a rhythmic player playing a lot of chords, strumming and funky songs and if you have the finger strength unlike myself you can very much play lead on it. If you want to have more control over the fingerboard and play more expressively (minus the whammy bar) then I say go for the Les Paul. Either one is great but it all boils down to what you want to play on and which guitar fits the budget better.

Really great comparison, thank you. Such a helpful video.

Great video! Thanks!

Sounds like a cool take on Mary had a Little Lamb! Everyone is different, but this solidified that for me, the Strat will always be king of the hill for blues guitar. That no-frills, low-gain gives our moody phrasing the limelight. It's ethereal.

Both! Over the past 32 years I've never gone without a Stratocaster and Les Paul at the same time.

This is an excellent video. I'm really glad you showed several types of music that brought out how each shined in different situations. Price vs sound, I think I'd be happy with the epi over the Gibson, but the fender really was much nicer sounding than the squier. Of course, now I want one of each...

I was listening to the difference between the Strat and the Telecaster and found a similar difference. The Tele was warmer and richer, the Strat by comparison was more shrill but sounded great for shreds- rapid passages.. I read that EddieVanHalen had similar issues and resolved the problem with the LesPaul/Strat-Frankenstein.

Your an awesome guitarist thanks for the demo, I'll play it again just to listen to it.

Great video, I already picked a les paul for myself but this was helpful to confirm my decision was a good one for me.

Every Strat I’ve played sound very similar, apart from if you have a rosewood or maple fretboard. I own 4 Les Pauls with 4 very individual sounds due to the Pickups. They go from Warm to Aggressive to ‘Modern Clean’ to Metal, so I would say there isn’t just a typical Les Paul Tone. But generally a Strat and Paul bookend all other guitars in sound range.

Darrell love your show I love both guitars each guitars for different parts!!!

I always played semihollow models, ES335-like or Gretsch-like guitars. I love the feel of Gibson body style and humbucker sound. But man, when I played on a Tele I fell in love instantly. Fender neck is so good, and single coil sound is so sweet. Nowadays my 2 mains guitars are a Parker strat-like and a Giannini electric Craviola.
