Nice appreciation of the different styles of playing that these guitars were made for. I've been playing an eight string for over 3 years now and I want something more traditional to have beside it.

I really love the distorted tone. It sounds like Doug Aldrich and Slash

I usually love GAK videos but that is literally the worst tone I have ever heard in a well produced video.

I have a les paul studio. Paid 1200$ us for it. Sounds amazing just plugged straight into a marshall. The only issue I do have is the g string goes out of tune at times. Too much for what is considered to be the top of the line Brand like Gibson. Our local guitar center doesn't have an esp ec1000 deluxe in stock to play and compair it to. The Gibson did also come with a nice hard case which the esp does not. The esp is 900 but add another 180$ for the case and it's the price of a brand new les paul studio.

That first distortion test sounds horrible, really odd to show such a specific (and honestly very odd) distortion in a comparison test, though the rest was an excellent comparison. I'd give it to the Gibson hands down, the cleaner tones had a bit of hum (not sure what that was, haven't heard that in other demos) though even beyond that there seemed to be so much more depth to the sound, especially in the mids, the LTD seemed to have punchier lows and highs that just felt lesser. The second distortion test sounded even more like this to me, loved the Gibson's sound by far (not to say the LTD didn't sound excellent, own an LTD myself).

about the warm tones with both pickups, have you chosen the good one?

what amp and or effects are you plugging the guitars into? had bite!

what is your signal chain? also, shoulda gone with an OD since, you know, humbuckers

and the neck position with some gain ?

I just got a wisdom tooth extracted so I shouldn't be "rofl lmao", but I am after hearing that distortion. My mouth hurts. Its like someone took a fart and compressed the shit out of it and made it into music.

There's no carved maple top on that LTD,it's solid mahogany and the flame maple etc ones have a veneer.

The EC's always sound more modern to me and the Gibson's have that classic sound.

seems like you chose a different tone every time so it's hard to compare. you shred! thanks for the video.

Pretty much traditional vs. hot-rodded. If you love single cut guitars like me, owning one of each brand (Gibson and ESP) is desirable as they complement each other very well.

The clean tones were nice, but the distortion towns were terrible, and I love fuzz. The ltd is an elegant interpretation of the LP Custom, and I think I'll be getting one soon. I need one to pair with my EQD Hizumitas.

who would play with the tone at around 4 minutes on that gibson?? the other sounds were great! i love the ltd:)

I wonder if the tone of the LP would have been more competitive if it had not been light weight version? I have a heavy weight LP studio from the same era and it really holds its own against modern guitars. No matter how much they may be a bit better in this way or that my LP studio comes out fighting strong 💪. Never the less I am hardcore gassing for an EC 1000 ever since I played one in a store - just effortless ecstasy

Gibson should make a modern Tribute that has the same kind of features as the EC-1000s. I don't want to play anything but jumbo stainless steel frets. Once you're used to that any trad guitar just feels like a lot of friction, both the fretboard wood and the grittier nickel frets. I'd much prefer a Nashville made, American looking Gibson to a typically way too flashy looking Japanese import.

I love the thin u neco. I don't much like bulky necks

Idk but it's so djent.

It not a matter of which one because you need to buy them both. They look great and sound great and I alternate playing them.

What song did you play for the clean tone...?

JB + Mahogany doesn't blend well together IMO, the JB screams when paired with Alder.... I've had the EC1000 amber burst and it sounded muddy, However in my Charvels, the JB is quite a lot responsive. Right now Im happpier with my EC1000 + Super Distortion combo.

what amp did you use?

Great playing, but distorted tone in first half of video was the worst I've heard bar one. The distorted tone in the second part of the video was considerably better but had a really annoying boxy sounding room acoustic or some sort of reverb and delay added. This made it hard to compare the real tone of each guitar. The clean tones were much better.

Well, I've tested 7 guitars at a local store. price range from £300 to £700 and walked out with exactly the same Gibson Studio. Just felt so easy to play, the sound was a lot brighter and just felt right..

As you said bro, I´d prefer classical sound, so I´d have to go with the Gibson´s Les Paul Studio. First Gibson in my life :)

Much respect but I wish quality of the instrument's would also be compared.

Hey dude it is an original that is one of joss's.

The features discussion was great. BUT, If you are going to do a "VS", when it comes to audio, you need to talk about the settings on the guitar, as well as what pedals and amp (with settings) that you are running it through. Then you need to play the SAME thing on both guitars, and play them back to back. The idea is to *try* and make them sound the same. If you play different riffs, with different settings, it's not really a "vs" at all.

I am ALL ABOUT American made. But in this case the LTD sounds like you are getting more for your money. It sounds better.

I like ltd!

They are very similar, but personally I choose Gibson. I already own a Gibson, ES 175 archtop and I love it! I was looking for a solid body and the new Les Paul Studio looks perfect for me: Gibson quality and a very good price. Thanks for the review!

I disagree i think most people just arent good enough to know. ps: very sorry
