Tough to say, it's one of those things where with the right amp, pedals, and settings there's a lot of overlap and in the right hands a good player could fool me with either into thinking they were playing one or the other. Great video.

The LP sounded more bright but yet still has incredible tonal control. I think LP's have the best humbuckers to date. The Tele, however, is not too far behind. It has this sort of warmer, fuller tone, nothing you wouldn't expect from a Fender.

Les Paul, no doubt. More ressonant, pu's are wax potted, more control on high gain, also, compared with that Tele. The sound has more sustain, more definition. By the way, I saw you replaced the nut. Stability issue on the G string ? Both beautiful guitars, but I think I'll go LP all the way. The choice will be betweem Traditional and Standard 2020 line. 1st world problem on a very expensive guitar. Cheers !

Honestly, I like the LP just a tad more. To me, it's a little richer in the sustain and tone departments, sort of evident across the various settings. But I have to tell you, 1) you play WELL and 2) the Tele sounded far, far better (and closer to the Les Paul) than I thought it would have. And it's lighter. Thanks again.

The extra tension afforded by the longer scale length of the Fender never fails to satisfy my ears. The Les Paul sounds great, but there's extra clarity with the Tele, which can sometimes be the difference between being heard, or not. However, a Les Paul through an old Marshall, which is typically a bright amp, is a force to be reckoned with. :)

A week or two after I bought my Gibson SG, I watched your "Guitar Headstock Rant - Why Les Pauls Don't Stay in Tune!" video. I love the SG, the looks, the feel of the neck and easy access to the higher frets. But yes, it has that tuning issue. Just brought it in to the shop to get it properly set up and possibly get a new nut on it. In the meantime, I've been thinking about a go-to "utility" guitar. Something I can bring to a jam that's rock solid on tuning, and has humbuckers, split coils etc. My strat is rock solid on tuning. Never an issue. I'm getting compensated brass bridge on my regular telecaster since tuning was a bit of an issue. Hopefully it solves that. Had started thinking about the Telecaster Deluxe. This video is very convincing!

Do you guys really think the Tele Deluxe can do LP tones though? It's hard to tell through the internet...in the room, I find it hard to believe an alder/maple bolt-on could emulate a mahogany set neck! ..But with the covered humbuckers...who knows?! I want to believe...(!) The Tele would suit me for practical means - durability and ergonomics - not to mention the retro vibe... But I won't compromise on the tone. I bought a Gibson LP Tribute, and the tone is phenomenal! But I'd rather not gig with it - it's bulky and, well..fragile! How close does the Tele get, really - in the room?

This is great work, Darrell. I have that same tele. One thing I'm having a hard time with: the knobs, and knob placement. The Les Paul-style speed knobs are nice and chunky, and you can turn them up/down really quickly. Plus, they're perfectly spaced from each other. On the Tele, the witch hat-style knobs are not as easy to grab on to and not as easy to turn up/down in a smooth motion because they're so skinny, and they're close together and cramped feeling. I was thinking of putting gibson style speed knobs on the tele, but I think the pots might be too close to each other.

horrorland01 I have the Squier Tele Deluxe and a Les Paul Studio 50's Tribute. I must say , the Squier at $399 is a bargain. Build quality and feel are surprisingly good. I have several other guitars and yet keep picking up the Squier. My only beef was with the poly on the neck..it's not satin like the Fender. But, 5 minutes with a green scotchbrite pad solved that. The Les Paul 50's/60's tributes are very raw , stripped down versions. With fit and finish not close to a Standard. But , that's the point of that series , no bindings, flat finish etc.. At 800 bucks , it was cheap way to get some of that Les Paul vibe and mojo. Out of the box , the LP needed some set up and nut attention, whereas the Tele was plug and play. Overall , I enjoy both guitars , I'd say the Les Paul met my expectations at the 800$ price point , while the Squier exceeded my expectations. I'd be curious to see how the Squier and Epiphone standard match up.

Both great at every aspect and you man are a great player and demonstrator. Gibson has a better finish indeed. Tele looks more beautiful overall.

I closed my eyes and tried to guess the guitars and it was very hard to tell them apart. They are both equipped with Humbuckers. The tele did sound a little chimy at times because of the lower output pickups. However if they had the same exact pickups, I believe it would sound identical and probably settle the whole "Tone Wood" debate. Great comparison!

Versatile is the guitarist, not the guitar
The extra tension afforded by the longer scale length of the Fender never fails to satisfy my ears. The Les Paul sounds great, but there's extra clarity with the Tele, which can sometimes be the difference between being heard, or not. However, a Les Paul through an old Marshall, which is typically a bright amp, is a force to be reckoned with. :)

A week or two after I bought my Gibson SG, I watched your "Guitar Headstock Rant - Why Les Pauls Don't Stay in Tune!" video. I love the SG, the looks, the feel of the neck and easy access to the higher frets. But yes, it has that tuning issue. Just brought it in to the shop to get it properly set up and possibly get a new nut on it. In the meantime, I've been thinking about a go-to "utility" guitar. Something I can bring to a jam that's rock solid on tuning, and has humbuckers, split coils etc. My strat is rock solid on tuning. Never an issue. I'm getting compensated brass bridge on my regular telecaster since tuning was a bit of an issue. Hopefully it solves that. Had started thinking about the Telecaster Deluxe. This video is very convincing!

Do you guys really think the Tele Deluxe can do LP tones though? It's hard to tell through the internet...in the room, I find it hard to believe an alder/maple bolt-on could emulate a mahogany set neck! ..But with the covered humbuckers...who knows?! I want to believe...(!) The Tele would suit me for practical means - durability and ergonomics - not to mention the retro vibe... But I won't compromise on the tone. I bought a Gibson LP Tribute, and the tone is phenomenal! But I'd rather not gig with it - it's bulky and, well..fragile! How close does the Tele get, really - in the room?
I own a Les Paul Standard. 2003 Honeyburst. Always love the look of it when i open the case. I hate to say this but that Fender looks magnificent. Sorry if this sounds stupid but the back of the Fender seems to have a character all of it's own, the paint work and the cut is superb. Needless to say the front is just as incredible.
Great comparison video! Both guitars have such rich tone to them, tough call on which one I prefer. Safe to say I'd be happy with either one.

This is great work, Darrell. I have that same tele. One thing I'm having a hard time with: the knobs, and knob placement. The Les Paul-style speed knobs are nice and chunky, and you can turn them up/down really quickly. Plus, they're perfectly spaced from each other. On the Tele, the witch hat-style knobs are not as easy to grab on to and not as easy to turn up/down in a smooth motion because they're so skinny, and they're close together and cramped feeling. I was thinking of putting gibson style speed knobs on the tele, but I think the pots might be too close to each other.
You forgot to mention the price difference: In England the Fender American Deluxe Tele ShawBucker 2017 £ 1'469 - the Gibson Les Paul Traditional HP 2017 Cerry Burst £ 2'299 (The Fender is 36% cheaper). Great Video thanks!

horrorland01 I have the Squier Tele Deluxe and a Les Paul Studio 50's Tribute. I must say , the Squier at $399 is a bargain. Build quality and feel are surprisingly good. I have several other guitars and yet keep picking up the Squier. My only beef was with the poly on the neck..it's not satin like the Fender. But, 5 minutes with a green scotchbrite pad solved that. The Les Paul 50's/60's tributes are very raw , stripped down versions. With fit and finish not close to a Standard. But , that's the point of that series , no bindings, flat finish etc.. At 800 bucks , it was cheap way to get some of that Les Paul vibe and mojo. Out of the box , the LP needed some set up and nut attention, whereas the Tele was plug and play. Overall , I enjoy both guitars , I'd say the Les Paul met my expectations at the 800$ price point , while the Squier exceeded my expectations. I'd be curious to see how the Squier and Epiphone standard match up.
Neck pick sounds better on Fender but Brigde Pick rocks in the LP. Great Video Darrell!!! Thanks for share

Like always a great video. Thank you :-) I have an old Epiphone Les Paul and a Fender Thinline with the wide-range humbuckers. What makes the Fender design a winner for me is the fact that I can setup the string action individually. The "one-size-fits-all" approach of the Tun-O-Matic bridge is often not leaving enough room for a satisfying custom setting.

Finally, somebody actually showing the Tele Deluxe with chrome buckers vs a Les Paul. All I've seen so far is the whole single coil Tele and Strat vs hh Les Paul's.
Great video, great player! For me the Tele clarity wins. I would sound half crap with either and you would still be great with a strung up wood plank. This is really useful for me as a lefty since shops never have lefties like this to try. I was on the verge of ordering a les paul, but not now. Tele it is. Keep it up!

Really good video! Thank you. I prefer glued on neck guitars, so goes my partiality to Gibson. On a side note however, there is a significant discussion within the luthier community that argue in favor of bolt on necks being the superior neck/body joint based on the premise that the clamping force is greater than that of glue, plus neck replacements are far more easy to do.
One of the best players on YT and seems like a genuinely nice guy. I vote for the Tele! Love every kind of Tele configuration out there. Keep up the great videos!

This is the demo I suggested back in June (four way switch vs. HH) and here it is, thanks! I've got basically the same singe coil Tele as you although it's a Highway One. I put in the four way switch you recommended and now get the best of both worlds. Next, I'm thinking of getting a hotter neck pickup so I can lower it and hide it under an Esquire pick guard for some serious vintage looks. Thanks again for the vid :-)

+Jeff McKoskey The 4-way switch is really cool isn't it! Glad to help!
IMO, the Les Paul has a very warm, rich tone. The Tele has a really hot, sharp tone. They are both very beautiful sounding. I own a custom shop Tele and I love it.
7:34 I was not expecting to be blown away by that Telecaster's clean bridge tone - Nice riff too!
7:34 onwards reminds me of Rush's 'The Spirit Of Radio' 😀 And I liked both guitars! I love Teles and especially Deluxe ones, but the Les Paul too will always have a place in my Heart 😊
Prefer the LP tone by a fairly small margin. Can't help but think the tele would come much closer to a les paul with the same pickups.

well, yeah, but for me the point is the different sound. I already have an LP to sound like an LP. The Tele Deluxe pickups have more bass and high-end, less midrangy. For driven soloing, the Tele will just need a bit more gain and a bit less bass and treble to get pretty close to the LP sound.
It’s amazing how much the longer scale on the Tele makes the clarity of the notes stand out compared to the shorter scale of the Gibson
Hey Darrell, thanks for the awesome video. I have been watching your videos for a while now and right when I was thinking about getting a Les Paul Traditional 2015 this video found me. After seeing your review I knew I was right about it, and now I am having plenty of fun with it! Thanks a lot mate!

At first I fell in love with Gibson Les Pauls ... But your Video Changed my mind so that now i'm interested in having a Fender Telecaster as well :D Thank you for this amazing video so that we can distinguish the differences.. both of them are awesome... Nice play by the way... Final play of yours really touching !....

For the price, I'd get the tele and an overdrive or boost pedal to replicate the LP tone when desired... plus I like the feel of Fenders better :)
Waiting for this comparison so long :)

Darrel, you could put a Spanish translation in the subtitles of your videos since there are many Latinos who see and hear your channel, but there are certain things that you say that when translating them they are not understood and your channel is very good and I am sure that you would gain subscribers.
You have a very nice vibe, Darell. I'm pissed off today, but you made me feel a bit better. I always enjoy your videos. Very well done, mate.Thanks for sharing. I hope you'll have a great day. \m/ -> edit: oh.. and awesome playing !

Wonderful comparison! They are what they are, and you revealed the best attributes in both of them! I have a LP and a Strat. You're absolutely right about the comfort factor of the Fender. When I record I love the way the Fender doesn't take up too much space in the mix. When I am in the mood to hear just the guitar I grab the Les Paul. Just get off on the power and smoothness... Yeah man!!!
Both great at every aspect and you man are a great player and demonstrator. Gibson has a better finish indeed. Tele looks more beautiful overall. Les Paul Sounds better on dirty sounds, but Tele sounds better on clear sounds I think. Even I'm a lot into thick sounds I think I go with the Tele for sure.
I'd marry a tele if I could.....

I can see that you connected with the tele more in that solo. Love how guitars do that!
Give me the Telecaster every time!! They just work for me in all genres! 👍🏾🎶✨🎸
I closed my eyes and tried to guess the guitars and it was very hard to tell them apart. They are both equipped with Humbuckers. The tele did sound a little chimy at times because of the lower output pickups. However if they had the same exact pickups, I believe it would sound identical and probably settle the whole "Tone Wood" debate. Great comparison!

you can reach the highest frets easier on a tele, it''s lighter, stays in tune better and is more unique

The biggest surprise about this video to me is how similar these guitar sound. I think by the time you mix in amps, pedals, chords, and a pic, there's lots more variables there than there are between the two guitars themselves
I totally dig the Telecaster and your playing. Congrats !!

+george macris I'm glad you enjoyed the comparison :)
One advantage to the Fender is that it is front loaded with electronics. Much easier to change the pickups. In fact you can have several pickguards equipped to swap out back and forth. I have an extra one with p90's in them and I'm thinking of getting another with TV Jones style pickups in them.
I’m impressed with the Tele (the LP sounds as good as I was expecting, mind you). Those Shaw-buckers really have something to them.
Been looking forward to this one for a while! The difference was super clear when you were playing with gain and I'm glad in a certain way that Fender didn't simply create a full scale LP clone. Two different axes. Love it!
Each is different and sound great in respect of their different voices.

One of your best videos. Seriously... Not sure if you've already done this yet, but it would be cool to do the same type of comparison on a mid-level priced (i.e. $600 - $800) Fender and Gibson. Both of these instruments are absolutely stunning.

This was really helpful! I've been back & forth between the tele & the les paul. This gives me a little bit more of an idea of both guitars.
