Burstbucker 2 et 3 son vraiment mieux c est se que j ai sur ma Les Paul LPJ 2013 j ai changé tout l électronique aussi

i was thinking of change my epiphone's probuckers ending up the problem was my finger and amps.

really wanted to watch this, but the levels are killing this video. It feels like you are trying to be quiet ..until you play guitar.

I wonder if the gold coating on the custom's pickups is a factor?

good review

You have to check the back of the pickup. Some just sat N for neck and B for bridge. I recently got an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro and the bridge pickup has a sticker that reads PB3NHCB-4 and that one sounds as good as any Gibson pickup I’ve played.

Gold Top vs. Pyrite Top - I love it!

Trying to decide bewteen an epiphone les paul standard plus top pro with pro buckers Or an epiphone les paul classic worn with burst buckers.

could you please write the songs you played?

Great comparison video. Very useful. Thank you.

Probuckers sound boxy and lower output to me compared to the burstbucker.

Now I need to seek out a comparison between probuckers and alnico pros.

Definitely the first 3 sounded pretty similar and the custom sounded different...but I loved the sound of your custom. Of the first three, I thought your blue LP had the best sound of them all! 3 thoughts on the sound disparity: 1) have you tried lowering or raising the bridge pickup height? (Again, I think that would be a mistake to try to make it similar, because it's unique sound was great as it is; 2) maybe the gold/brass plating affects the transparency to the magnetic field compared to the standard chrome plated brass alloy cover on the Epiphone; 3) considering the Probuckers are made in China, perhaps the issue is one of quality control, much like the originsl P.A.F.s from the 50s. Maybe there's a starker difference in the wind count for the coils than there should be, creating an interesting tone.

The epiphone pro buckers are made the same exact same way and with the same materials as the Gibson burst buckers

I just noticed your bridge pick ups are really high. I crank mine flat sound much better. They’re that high. They are just weird.

The epiphone pro buckers are made the same exact same way as the Gibson burst buckers and with the same materials..

The pro buckers are made the same exact way as the Gibson burst buckers and the same materials...do any of you actually do research before you stick your foot in your mouth?

I am bit confused. Neither Epiphone nor Gibson give us specs on their sites about their pups. Chinese online stores write these are alnico 5 pups, and many times, they do not mention whether they are PB 1, 2, or 3. I also saw on a Chinese site that Bridge and Neck both were PB2 according to the photos about their backs. Stoned on this mess

If tou eant an qxtual comparison, nees ro be the same guitar hardware and strings. Othwrwose ots a moot point becaise not everythign is equal. Ever fonto a store and play 3, 4, 5 doffernt versions or the same guitar? I have. Youll find each sounds, feela and plays different, sone bettwr and some worse. This is why pwoolw will search, in some cases for years, to find just the right guitar.

Am I crazy, or do the probuckers sound better than the burstbuckers in this video?

Tune the guitar jeeZ

dumped some money on all those les pauls.

👏

"lets try some high gain notes" ~ starts shredding

your mildly driven clean tones are not clean at all 😊

Sounds like the bridge pickup in the black custom is wired wrong. Maybe out of phase? 2 wire or 4 wire?

I acquired some new epiphones this year with plans to swap the pickups out for something better for metal. I actually like the pro buckers for metal which was super surprising. Never really been a fan of burst buckers tho.

When you’re comparing two or more things with similar names, you MUST use the correct names for each, or else you confuse everyone. I saw that one time you attempted to fix this with using a font graphic, which is still not acceptable, and then other times you did not fix it at all. So I have no idea what you’re talking about. I realize video editing takes time, but that’s what you have to do if you’re going to make an “educational” video. You can’t have important mistakes in it. In other words, before publishing the video, find errors and record over them with corrections. This isn’t a suggestion, it’s advice for a necessary change. I hope you follow it and that your channel grows into what you want it to be.

sound is quite harsh

I wouldn't say one pick up is better as it comes down to what sound your looking for Burstbuckers have an even which fans of the probuckers would say they lack distinction and sound to bland . Probuckers have that growl in the low notes and have a sharp crisp ear pricing highs , which Burstbucker fans would describe as having to much bottom end and to much high-end sounding distorted and lack clean mellow tones . Personally I like Growling lows and ear pricing highs in my les paul , if wanted warm mellow tones I would play a tele with a double humbucker split coil at the bridge and a single coil at the neck with each pickup having its own tone and volume knobs ( come to think of it I have a tele I built like that ) . Its all about your style and tastes when it comes to instrument preference.

Use numbers. Amateurs gabbling. Go find a professional tech.

What's the overall weight of this guitar? I have back problems, so an exact number would be gr8

Came here for the comparison, but can't help but notice your jacket haha. nice to see some hololive enjoyers in unexpected vids. What was the song you played at 5:36 ?

This video makes me glad I got a ‘60s Standard instead of a Custom regarding the new Epiphones.

This was a great comparison, thank you. You play well 🤙

As much as I want to say the Gibson, the Epiphone sounded better than a "passable import copy". My brain, admittedly is not a cache when it comes to music, what is heard is processed, liked or disliked, then replaced with fresh inputs and processed for like or dislike. There wasn't anything either guitar's output that would tip me off in a blind audio test as to which guitar was being played. For me it's more a matter of the feel of the instrument, I'd have to be familiar with most likely to determine which was which. I'd have to handle them both, just handing me one of them is a 50/50 coin flip to guess the correct brand. Anyone could get that lucky for a guess.

Liked for comparison, sub for Kiryu-kai goods 😄 I also own an Epiphone Les Paul Custom from year 2020. This guitar sounds quite bassy even if i changed the bridge pickup for a Seymour Duncam Distortion.

I can't get over the impression that Gibson pickups (and in other comparison videos) tend to sound slightly more tonally rich to my ear. Perhaps this matters most when playing clean.

Compared the epi slash anaconda (probuckers)to the 59 epi standard outfit (gibson burstbuckers) this week in a shop. The slash sounds really good, but in direct comparsion, for me, the 59 epi standard had more output, tone range, smoother sound and much better sustain. Dont want to talk the slash bad, its a really nice guitar, but for me the 59 was the clear winner.

Idk why but I like epiphone sg's pickups way more than the epiphone les paul modern's, mind you I don't think pickups do much so idk whats going on

I wonder if that black one is wired with the humbucker coils being wired in parallel instead of series.

I own probuckers and tried burstbuckers. If you know how to use the volume and tone controls the probuckers can replicate the burstbuckers well. But I prefer the probuckers in high gain and loud tone scenario. But my probuckers 3 in my bridge was crazy hot when I measured resistance. Can’t remember what it measured but I couldn’t believe it. I wanna say 13k

The custom has an ebony fretboard which actually can really change the tone of the guitar. It sounds like it has a bit more bite for sure.

wtf is this clippng harsh top end coming from??!?! do you recording in +20 db or what?))

Gibson 🙌🙌👌

The magic happened in the past by accident it also took over 50 plus years for this older pickups to age hence the sound your getting now in the past if a particular set got made and everything aligned by sheer fluke you then got that legendary set that we all rave about now all we don't have now is that original aged wire from back then or another 50 years to come back and see how the probuckers faired in 50 years or so will leave that to who is about then but if you want the correct original correct process I'm sure someone will fleece you for the trouble if you really want beautiful pickups go to Tyson tione labs or Ron Ellis or BRIERLEY GUITAR PICKUPS or sliders pickups in Australia you will find your magic there just my two cents worth.....

Probuckers equal in clarity slightly more distorted then the burst buckers at higher volumes under distortion but I found that through other videos I have already watched

Anyhoo, I'm your 53rd Subscriber. Nice, labor-intensive review. Much appreciated.

I think you have a mislabeled Probucker 2 in the bridge position. That's my gut instinct. Regardless, Burstbuckers are in no way superior to Probuckers. Different? Sure, but barely detectably in real-word circumstances.
