    another really good alternative is the sire L7! its basically a les paul with an access heel and a satin neck, its an extremely fun guitar to play imo

    • @dimesciple1652

      I too can highly recommend the Sire L7. So good I HAD to get one in white and one tobacco burst.

    Decided to do a blind listen so I could focus on what sounded better. Gretsch won by a country mile. It also looks incredible, I was shocked when I looked back at the screen.

    My Les Paul alternative is the ESP LTD PS-1000. Build quality is awesome. So are the Seymour Duncan Phat Kat P90s and Tonepros bridge and tailpiece. Purple Sparkle offset semi-hollow offset body is beautiful.

    I've had a vintage cherry SE 245 for a couple years, and it truly is a workhorse guitar. It's excellent, definitely my favorite guitar that I own

  • @jonezen420
    @jonezen420 Před rokem +7

    Gretsch streamliner and electromatic lines. By far my favorite. Gretsch has stepped up their game like no other company for the money.

      couple months ago i was actually looking around for a Epi LP with p90s, cause i wanted an LP but i wanted the p90s because my guitar collection is lacking in standout clean tones. stopped in the local music store after 2 years and saw the g5655t electromatic, cadillac green with gold hardware. why not have a listen/play on the pickups, see what the cleans are like?
      i now own it. and at the price, i feel like i stole it (i got 500au off clearance). and it leaves the "p90 guitar" slot open for the future, because the broadtrons are a nice discovery and have those chimey tops, the quest for MY p90 pair continues.
      i reeeealy like the sound and dynamics of the p90s in Rick Beato's Gibson but the guitar itself is much too expensive. but those p90s in a decent Epi SG, black in black? holy Iommi, batman!
      and yes, i know Gretsch do the Jet with p90s, but in the review vids i've seen the pickups are lacking something. i'm not sure what.

    My first “big boy” guitar was an EC256 in lemon drop. And I’ve absolutely abused that guitar and it’s taken every bit of it in stride!!! ESP makes great guitars and that’s probably why my number one is an LTD

    I have that exact revstar. Its a great guitar. The focus switch is great. The color is awesome. It sounds excellent. However, the stainless steel fret work on my LTD EC1000 and Sire S7 is head and shoulders above the yamaha.

    The vintera doesn't have wide range humbuckers, they have wide range covers to look like they have wide range humbuckers. You have to go fairly high in the American range to get them or one of the new cunife edition to get wide range.

  • @nsp477

    Japanese makers like Tokai and Fugigen also make great Les Paul replicas at half the price and much better quality control than Gibson.

    @fistovuzi Před 7 měsíci

    like most guitarists, i have an unconscious bias against Yamaha. no one knows why it's a thing, it just is.
    but i gotta say, i'm coming around to the Revstar. it sounds versatile and solid, like a proper gigging guitar. i still don't like the "theme" with pinstripe thing BUT, the green with black stripes, scratchplate and headstock is the best looking colour combo for sure.

    Say what you will about Harley Benton, but I picked up a secondhand SC Custom Plus II FR for next to nothing (expecting about the same) and I was truly impressed... I even thought I'd dislike the satin finish. Note: Previous Owner swapped out the Pups for Seymour Duncan Blackouts. Just FYI.

    in my opinion hands down Schecter, ESP, and PRS and even Epiphone beat a Gibson les paul. I currently own 7 schecter guitars 3 ESP 2 of which are the EC-256 3 PRS 2 of which are the SE 245 including the one in your video. and 4 Epiphone les pauls. as well as several other guitars.
    I used to have Gibson les pauls but sold them many years ago and have never gone back to them as I feel they are just way to over priced and you are just paying for there name now.
    Schceter,ESP PRS, and Epiphone are making way better guitars with better spec's and QC then Gibson these days as well as several other guitar makers and you do not have to sell your house car and kids to buy one!
    In my opinion Gibson has go the way of catering to the Collector market out there and totlaly forgot about the average player out there.
