When I started playing, I couldn't tell the difference either. Now that I'm a better player, I actually can tell the difference, it is very minute, but it's there. This being said, you can easily upgrade the Epi and get a proper setup for it that rivals a Gibson. And for the price? Oh, hands down, the budget or college player should invest in amps, cabs, pedals, other gear, fixing your shitty car, and whatever else before making the leap to a Gibson when Epis are this good.

Gibsons are way fatter sounding and are better for recording in the studio. les paul great for beginner and moderate players, but i jizz all over a real les paul anyway. if only i have 10,000 dollars too throw down. most people who have them are pros who get them from money they received from gigging, making records, and hobbyists. i wouldn't feel comfortable practicing on one for hours though. epiphone is great for that.

I have a 1960 Tribute Plus that shipped with real Gibson 57 Classics and my little brother just got an Epi Standard with the Probuckers, and we played both through my Blackstar HT-40 Special Edition (Celestion Vintage 30) and my guitar sounded way better. much more clean and sustained better as well. Is it worth the extra 150 bucks? I say yes, but you can always upgrade the regular Epi in the future if money doesn't allow for a $650 guitar right away.

Would it be possible to do a double blind test you could then call it scientific. There is known fenomina were by a test administrator can unknowingly give suttle hints to the test subject. A double blind test solves this by removing any bias from the test administrator and test subject I'd love to see the results of that. Perhaps a blind screen were the test subject puts hands through and plays the instrument ensuring the test administrator also is behind a screen.

If it makes you feel better maybe a test where the instruments are not plugged in - in addition to a listening test

@oldmankof8869

kayosiiii Didn't they do that in the 2 & 1 Gibson video?

In all honesty, while sound SHOULD be the only concern to be of any importance, the honest truth is that most people buy Gibson over Epiphone because of the branding. Not to say that is bad at all because a Gibson can be quite an investment piece that will hold similar value for quite awhile and truly is made of better wood, better inlays, etc so you are buying a high quality guitar. Tone wise they may sound similar or nearly identical, but it's the branding and the feeling of "I'm playing a $5,000 machine that Jimmy, Keith, Clapton, Perry, Slash and countless others have played." And just gives you that feeling of importance, and if you feel a little boost of speciality or importance, it will reflect in your playing and you'll have a phenomenal night jamming. I've owned my Honeyburst LP Standard for over 7 years and every time I play it, I get that same little tingle up my spine saying, "You're playing something legendary." Who knows, maybe that's just my opinion though. 🎸

Recently I noticed that I just couldn't progress tone wise, I was always wondering if it's my play style or the amp or my guitar which sounded not so nice. So after pluging the Gibson into my amp I clearly can tell the guitar makes a big difference!

Ok, well I bought the guitar for $80 but it's really like a $300 guitar. A Yamaha Pacifica 112L to be exact. And I'm not saying that my guitar is flat out better, I stated that the reason it played better was because the Strat and SG were set up so badly. The Strat was like a $900 American, and the strings seemed old and the action was a little high. The SG was in the $1,000 - 3,000 range (can't remember the actual price) and the strings were also old and way too high off the fretboard. I'm sure If the store had a guy to regularly go through all the guitars and maintain them, I would've thought differently. Just a set up is all, I'm sure they are great guitars.

I believe a good setup can do wonders to a guitar, but after owning both a premium ibanez and a prestige I can tell you attention to detail is definitely something that didn’t strike me at first sight but I could probably do a blindfolded Ibanez test now, it would be an interesting thing to do, sadly most of the stores I go to don’t carry around huge stocks of them, and not 7 strings anyway…

Plus on the custom shop there's an engraved plaque where the toggle switch cover is on the back, so that would have given that away immediately.

Feeling the headstock would cut the options in half.

This succeeds on many levels but, most of all, it's flat out entertaining. Totally stealing the phrase "Let's throw that cat amongst the pigeons".

This was a pretty fun video... nice job..

It be interesting to see this, but a bit more advanced like get the high end Epiphones that come with 57s and coil tap. I also think the Epiphone Custom Plus Stop Pros are good enough to be mistaken as a Gibson.

You can smell a Gibson a mile away

I've heard they smell like vanilla. I've played a few at Guitar Center, and although they were absolutely breath-taking, I don't recall smelling vanilla. Maybe I should have sniffed the maple cap more while playing.

Great video. I shared your excitement as you tested them out.

Surprised neither of them picked up on the lack of neck binding on the Studio Pro.

Me too - I was really expecting to feel a much bigger difference. Clearly binding has a much bigger visual impact that it does on feel!

CaptAnderton I've got a a SE PRS with binding and an American PRS w/o binding and can confirm, binding doesn't mean anything.

Let me just say that epiphone is beautiful

I love how they put up fancy graphics and sound effects on the video, but held up a notepad to show which guitar was which

Excellent video guys! Makes me want to buy a Gibson right now!

Great video. Im wondering what this says when comparing the comparisons?? ..meaning that the Fender comparison was seemingly much tougher to discern which guitar was which... while the Gibson comparison had a more drastic difference between the models. Of these.. I did like the sounds of all of the proper Gibsons.. even the Studio sounded really good. The Epiphone didnt sound bad, but there was a noticeable difference to my ears. Thanks!

They never plugged the guitars in during the Squier/Fender/Fender Custom test. It was just a feel thing. I think that screwed it all up. The sounds had a big impact on the decisions in this test.

Tim Crouch Yeah, I wondered the same and since I saw that vid, I knew that they plugged them in... but you replied to the wrong comment :>

One thing about these guitar challenges I'm curious about is the price of each model. Perhaps you guys could tell us after you've done the doubleblind tests? Per example, what is the price gap between an Epiphone Les Pau and the real items? Just an idea.

epi standard is $400 i think. the gibson studio is about $1000, standard is a little more than that, custom shop is insane money, like $4000 or something

Good vid, very enjoyable.. Rob man, love that playin on studio pro.

you guys have the best job ever

Do this at home? (looks at the corner of the room with a single epiphone looking at him there like saying "wtf")

How many people started saving for a Gibson Studio Pro after watching this?

That sounded and looked like fun. Great job by guessing it. You can be trusted as a Guitar sales person!

Just bought an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top Pro. Loved this video and your playing. hope to be able to play some riffs and licks like that sometime.

Even though I love Gibson's, you can't deny on that particular Epi Les Paul in the video, the only thing lacking were the pickups. Swap out the pups, and you would have a pretty comparable instrument for cheaper.

Andrew Whittaker haha. well, some pick up the sound differently than others. strings, wood type, shape, cavity size, "weight relief" or not, and finish type and amount all create the sound together. Theoretically, you can get the exact same tone out using pickup A on guitar B as pickup B on guitar A, while A on A, and B on B are entirely different from one another. Calling a pickup better or worse than the next is entirely dependent on the guitar. Burstbuckers, for instance sound atrocious in a lighter toned body. The high output cuts through the mahogany nicely, but sounds screechy in a solid maple body.

Mike Mlodzienski ...all this is assuming that the pickups are made well. yes, there are bad pickups, but they are made with poor materials, or wound poorly. at the end of the day, the difference between a 150 dollar pickup and a 20 dollar pickup is the maker.

I have an Epyphone Les Paul Ultra which i think sounds great through my Vox ac30vr but there definately is a difference in sound between the Epyphone and Gibson. In this case you definately get what you pay for. Next Guitar: Gibson Les Paul.

I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between a gibson les paul studio and an epiphone les paul ultra (if they had the same pickups) . Gibson aint what it used to be... You're spending 3000$ for a "decent" gibson. That same money will get you a custom made guitar from a good luthier.

My main guitar at the minute is an ESP LTD viper 10 (the basic one thats about £50) with some pickups from a small UK company called Warman. I had the same pickups in a Gibson SG and, with the same guitar amp settings, youd struggle to hear any difference between the two soundwise. The gibson was much nicer and easier to play though.

Yeah, i'm looking at a photo of the 1973 Gibson Les Paul Silver Anniversary Model i used to own. F-/K! I miss that Guitar, it was like a finely tuned piece of machinery to me, the best Guitar i've had the privilege of owning. Gone but not Forgotten. Anyway in my hands i have my Epyphone Les Paul Ultra, super light in weight, fast action, great sounding pickups, simply a nicely constructed Guitar. I think it is around a 2001 model, i paid $750 with Hardcase, for one in the same condition as mine i think you'd be looking at around $1100 from what i've seen available on the net and in music stores. As mentioned above in this thread for a decent Les Paul your going to pay at least $3000 where as for the same money you would get a custom build and for even less an Epyphone Les Paul Ultra. I guess we all hear a little differently so i guess it's each to his own on this one, personally i think the difference in sound between the 2 Guitars is so minimal in the end you only end up paying for the name. GIBSON (it is a pretty special name though and will always looks good written on the guitars headstock) $3000 or $1100?

Amazing how Rob in fact does truly know his shit! I find it so amusing how he also wants to smell the guitar. I assume he's trying to whiff the nitro finish....mmmmm...nitro finish: ) Also had to laugh at all the cheeky things Rob did to Lee whilst he was blindfolded...LMAO! One of the best videos you guys have ever done IMO. Love it!

fabulous video!

Do American PRS vs SE

Please review the new andertons marshall or Marshall bluesbreaker vs Marshall 1974x.

Cool videos you guys put together.... I just may have to make a pilgrimage to the UK to check out The Andertons !

The studio sounds amazing! Ive always liked the studio sound!

gibsons have nitrocell finishes epis have poly ...completely different feel
