    My uncle gave me a satin PRS as a surprise Christmas gift. To this day it still blows my mind every time I pick it up how much I love it. Looks, sounds and feels like a dream guitar I would've custom designed myself. It's been my most prized possession & main guitar since the moment I got it. Thank you Uncle Jorge!

      I'm actually broke after getting a Gibson. And it's a weird thing to own. Expensive, heavy, uncomfortable but the sound... you cope with all this because of the sound. Same goes fot the above video. I'd choose a Gibson any day over PRS.

    I'm really glad that PRS are getting out of Gibson's shadow and starting to be really seen as their own thing, on their own terms. It's a hell of an achievement and it's true that Gibsons and PRS each have their own wonderful, unique characteristics. Long live both!

    • @libertylizard_
      @libertylizard_ Před 5 lety +6

      You mean like constantly falling out of tune, nuts and frets that are labelled under 'international embarrassment' and generally just a dead weight block of wood? Sure. Gibson are laughable junk, no modern musician uses them. Go PRS 24. Only guitar worth owning in this bracket.

    I own a 69 les paul black beauty, and a 96 PRS swamp ash special. They are incomparable in both tone and feel. What they do however is evoke a different feel, emotion, and sense of playing. Both are awsome, just very different.

      @jmar7732 Před 4 lety

      That's the best I've heard. I own Gibson's and a 2002 prs customm 22. They are very different and find most people not willing to accept the prs is better than a lp. Just because it's a lp. Its almost like blasphemy lol.most critics of prs dont even own one! I prefer to play my prs. And yes I do have a lp and sg also. Sometimes I lean towards my sg over les paul. They are all very different to my ear

    The PRS is superior in just about every measurable way. It has only one problem... It's not a Les Paul.

    • @bumpyroad3251
      @bumpyroad3251 Před 5 lety +10

      It's not superior at all. Les Paul has much better tone and much more recognisable.

    • @Fuhgawz102
      @Fuhgawz102 Před 5 lety +4

      Theyre both needed in a true studio or live arsenal. Just like the telecaster.

    • @stevethormod6279
      @stevethormod6279 Před 5 lety +6

      Jacob Barlow well said! I’ve just recently drank the PRS kool aid and I’ve totally changed my tune on the coffee table that I thought was the prs.. I absolutely 💚 my 1995 anniversary McCarty... however, my 1990 lp has a tone that just fits in a mix better and is definitely more recognizable. If I don’t think about trying to make the prs sound like my beloved, then it just becomes apples and oranges.
      But, damn I do love my new/old prs;)

    @user-up1us9jf1o Před 7 lety +29

    I remember in 1989 I was 4 and sneaking downstairs on Saturday morning and watching MTV. I can't place any individual I saw because it was an era of spandex and pointy guitars. Then I saw slash with that tobacco burst les paul. After that I got into my parents records and it seemed on the inside pictures everyone had Gibsons. Leslie west, the allmans, cream, zeppelin it was like a Gibson catalog. I know they aren't the most dependable manufacturers but when you find a good Gibson that's the sound and vibe.

    • @RoaldKoger
      @RoaldKoger Před 7 lety +4

      About that same time I saw Damn Yankees for the first time on MTV and they had a heavy, yet very melodic and open sound. Guess what Tommy Shaw and Ted Nugent were playing? PRS! It was a revelation to me. By the way, I was not 4, but in my early twenties...

    • @libertylizard_
      @libertylizard_ Před 5 lety

      PRS is a modern machine. Gibson a grandads guitar. So for the modern musician its PRS all the way, especially in heavy metal. A gibson is a beast but its old and traditional. Nothing modern bands will touch, so eventually it simply wont have a market comparatively.

  • @CaptAnderton
    @CaptAnderton Před 7 lety +474

    • @leewhitworth9142
      @leewhitworth9142 Před 7 lety +27

      I agree, although I'm a die-hard Strat fan, the Les Paul is a superb guitar.

    • @DerEchteBold
      @DerEchteBold Před 7 lety +17

      If someone offered me the choice between these guitars I would take the LP without a second thought, don't care if the other one is 'worth' a thousand bucks more, I never liked the typical PRS sound.
      Although a proper Strat would be the first choice for me too.
      ...wish I could afford any of these ; )

    • @DerEchteBold
      @DerEchteBold Před 7 lety +1

      Andrew Zeleno
      Hmm... if anything it sounds slightly out of tune there, I don't think that sound is really bad, it just isn't as 'special' and distinctive as a LP or Strat.

      @stanpowers600 Před 7 lety +3

      Me too. Would like to see/hear you guys face off with the PRS Custom 24 SE vs the Epi Les Paul Standard (Plus Top Pro, whatever) Paying attention to build quality as much as tone, playability, etc.

    • @timothymayer9070
      @timothymayer9070 Před 7 lety +2

      a good set of locking tuners locks the tuning up tight. I also had 5 different SE's and I thought the tone was crystal clear. What year was yours?

    • @aikensource

  • @tedlindaatkinson3228
    @tedlindaatkinson3228 Před 7 lety +9

    Love both. I have developed a medical condition over the years of playing and the body shape of the Les Paul is very much the reason for it. I have a trapped Ulna Nerve mainly from the sharp edge of the LP body shape where my arm crosses the body of the guitar. I only wish Gibson would address this issue. I have had to change to a PRS based on the curved body shape. PRS and Fender Strats are more ergonomically user friendly for my condition. I have since had an operation and it seems to have worked but the days of playing 4 hour night with my loved LP is much over. PRS here I come.

    • @reetzcracker769

  • @montlejohnbojangles8937
    @montlejohnbojangles8937 Před 7 lety +1

    I love the touch-sensitivity of the PRS. Those pickups always respond really well to feel. If you're gentle they're warm and smooth and lovely, and if you really dig in the just absolutely wail. Staggeringly beautiful natural pickup tones.

  • @hurrzaidi

      Yes he does. The clean you just heard is 'British' clean. It's the just before breakup sound you get with a British amp. 'American' clean is the sparkly clean kind of tone you'd expect from a Roland JC150.

    Not too saturated just cos you can ...you've inspired me to dial my Marshall AND Fender back some. It doesn't have to...it still sounds great...but dialling it down to 75% gives you a sense of restraint... and control.
    Makes me feel like a distinguished gentleman !

      Hey bro, I feel your pain. I served almost 10 years and did 3 deployments to Iraq. I bought a cheap squire to have with me while I was out there. Just make sure you use a power converter before plugging in an amp. Ask me how I know lol. Anyway, keep your head on a swivel, stay alert, stay alive. You’ll get back to your dream guitar before you know it. I just bought a USA made PRS McCarty 594 myself, and I LOVE IT. watch your buddies 6 as well. Until than Charlie Mike brother. Hope you get home soon. Take care out there. Feel free to message me if you’d like. I’m always down to talk to fellow brothers. Thanks for your service as well. I can’t believe we’re still in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s been almost 20 years. That’s unbelievable.

    I love these comparison videos between PRS and Gibson because people start going crazy and arguing about how the PRS doesn't sound like a Les Paul. I can only say "Duh". It's a PRS. It doesn't sound like a tuba either. If you want a Les Paul, get a Les Paul. If you want a Strat, get a Srat. I want my PRS to sound like a PRS. If you want one guitar to sound like all of them, get a Variax, slap some PRS pups in that sucker, and quit griping.

    Enjoyed seeing this comparison tackled again - as I'm choosing between PRS and Gibson at the moment.
    Video Suggestion: You said that if you put the Gibson pickups in the PRS it still wouldn't sound like a Gibson. I'm sure you're right - but it would make for a very interesting video if you could do just that: Compare a Gibson with Gibson pickups and a PRS with Gibson pickups.

      Schecter diamond series C1 hell raiser is a monster for every Style.

They have terrible resale value so it's all gain if you like them.

    PRS has a tremolo - and a great one at that! And their necks feel better. And they are lighter. And their split coil sound is way more useful and does not have the volume loss. But the Gibson humbucker sound is superior and especially with gain. And the Gibson has slightly better sustain. And that sums it up! ☺️

      Although those aren't bad bands, perhaps Google who actually plays PRS guitars and amps. Better yet go to nearly any PRS or PRS compared to CZcams video and read the comments and likes and you'll get the consensus. The only people who don't like PRS are those who can't afford them or those who still believe Gibson makes quality guitars.

    I have an 82 LP Custom, bought new when I was a teenager. It was my first love. In the early 90's I bought an 87 PRS CE24, which became my go-to guitar for most everything, because it was so much easier to play. With my stereo rig (ADA MP-1 thru Mesa 50/50) I could make either guitar sound amazing (I had swapped a couple Seymour Duncan JB's in the LP by this time.)
    With the 5-way rotary switch on the PRS, it had more versatile tones, but forget about switching quickly, like during a song. But put the PU switch in the middle on the LP, and you could dial in some great unique tones using the volume & tone knobs, that I just could not get from the PRS. But no matter what I did, I could never get the PRS to have that thick, rich, full, sustaining tone that the LP had. Damn thing weighs over 10lbs! So they both had their place. But I mostly played the PRS, and often found myself overdoing it with too much gain on my amp to try to get it to sound like the LP (when needed.) It never had that sustain, no matter what I did.
    I remember saying that if PRS put out a guitar that played like mine, but with the tonal balls of the LP, they'd really have a fantastic guitar. I didn't know about the Single Cuts yet, but when I found out, I was lusting for one. So out of the blue, my bass player brings me a brand new, 10-Top, Tiger Eye, Burgundy SC from the factory (he knew the guy who headed up artist relations; I live 30 minutes from the factory.) That was hands down the most amazing guitar I'd ever played. It was the best of both guitars, and it played like butter. This was late 90's, early 2000's, iirc..., and it cost around $3300 new at Levin's, but I couldn't make myself pull the trigger. I had to give it back after about a month.
    Those are old versions of both, so you can get either to do things better now. But that's my take on the comparison. They both have their pros & cons.

    @stringrip Před 6 lety

    Rob Chapman I think the reason some still prefer to have large neck - body join on Les Pauls instead of modern easier access design is that rightly or wrongly they are worried it might affect tone and sustain. They feel the more mass and strength of the neck heel the better and that removing wood will affect that. The fact that its harder to play is a price worth paying for more sustain. Maybe you could do comparison sustain test between modern full access heel and traditional one.

    Can you do a Les Paul vs. PRS McCarty comparison? The McCarty is basically PRS' take on a Les Paul - hardtail bridge, neck pickup at the right spot due to only having 22 frets, etc. It'd be interesting to see how two VERY similar guitars from different companies compare.

  • @schecterc1h
    @schecterc1h Před 7 lety

    Lee does a great job of sitting back in the mix when the two guitarists are jamming and we're trying to hear the lead sound. I played with a guitarist that would play too loudly while I was soloing and it drove me and the people in the venue nuts. It just sounds like a wash of distorted mush. Roll the volume knob way back and play lightly and minimally when you are in a jam type situation and playing rhythm! That also leaves room for more dynamic and building, instead of starting out at 80% and having nowhere to really go.

    Custom 22 for me any day over a 24; I always hesitate when a guitar puts its sound hole or neck pickup anywhere but under the third harmonic node. The location of the neck pickup under where the 24th pickup is part of its sound. Not to say it can't be done, but I haven't seen it yet. I'd love to have access to the full second octave.

  • @AJH367

    I've owned a LP Standard, I own a PRS Custom 24. To my battered ears, both sound better on Lee's V40 & Plimsoul setup than on Rob's. I was wondering as well if Custom 22 shouldn't have been part of the line-up in this video. And both tuned half a step down, or to drop D. Always good fun to watch though. What a job to have!

Like a good steak doesn't need steak sauce BUT if you haven't, try out a petal called ,get ready it's a nasty name for a petal. The cockfight by electro harmonics l believe, it the wildest thing ever. Look it up. I mean probably wouldn't use it in a live situation, but it's the funniest petal I've ever played. If you have time to Google it, check it out. I dont think you will be disappointed.

    I think Rob put it pretty well because thats the way I feel about PRS as well. It's everything I love about an instrument in one single guitar. I've spent way more money than I should have in my life acquiring new instruments - gibson les paul standard, ibanez j craft, ebmm, etc - and I recently purchased what I believe will be the instrument that follows me the rest of my life, a 2005 PRS CE-24, hasn't gotten here yet but I'm incredibly excited and more than confident that it will be up to the task of a lifetime of play and musical enjoyment. Of the instruments associated with the brands i listed this CE-24 is the least expensive of those, the others are all gone and all I have learned has gone into this one purchase. Won't know her name 'til I hold her or at least see her but I know she'll be by my side for many years.
