I could tell the difference because I have the PRS SE Custom 24. It's a very bright sounding guitar. I back off the volume and tone controls to 7.5ish and EQ it cutting some highs and it gets the tone I would have actually expected when I bought it. Incredibly versatile guitar. Middle position with the coil tap on is heaven for cleans and just a little dirt.
Got it right, the neck pickup was a dead giveaway. The Les Paul is so much darker and dare I say muddier. Both sound good though and with some gain the sounded more alike than different.

Got it right! Yay! I do own an Epiphone Les Paul but have never been able to afford a PRS! I’ve tried a few Custom 24SE’s and they seemed very Fender Stratocasterish to me and I do have one of those.
This is gonna be a good video. I was right. It was a good video. Also I had the guitars the wrong way around at first but then I changed my mind and got them right.
Thanks for the review. Recently had a PRS SE Mira for a few days, and can compare it to my Epi Les Modern. Not sure how pertinent my input will be relative to your video but I'm guessing there are some similarities with Mira and your PRS. My PRS was super light and hung from my neck well and is something you could play all night, except personally I did not like the wide neck. The width was nice but the thickness was not at all for me. The thinness of the neck was quite profound to the point where it seemed uncomfortable to my hand. I'm sure with time I'd adapt, but the Epi, for my hand was nice right from the start. It has its asym taper neck - that is much thicker in a baseball bat type way. Like you said, I think they list it as a slim taper. I don't find it slim at all and that's a good thing. Maybe for a shredder the PRS might be nice but for all night chording and playing with a few solos, I'll take a thicker neck any day - even though my hands are not big. The Epi Modern, even with its weight relief still feels weighty around my neck. For a bedroom guitarist that's not a big deal, but standing and playing for a few hours it does weigh on you. Sound- my PRS seems like it would be better for high gain applications, where the Epi Probuckers were much more versatile from anything from country to pop to rock. I liked the Epi's sound much better overall - they were deeper and richer, but still had plenty of high end sizzle when needed. The PRS pups sounded sort of thin and "screatchy". The PRS's knobs felt wobbly and cheap where the Epi's felt much nicer. The fretwork on the PRS did seem better. On my Epi, well, that took some work on my part to get right, but it was no big deal and I expect to do that on a guitar in this price range anyway. All that said, I'm still a Tele guy. Thanks again for the review.
I would love to own either one. I just got my first, singlecut LP style guitar, been playin 30+ years, never played one. I love them though, i wish I had played one years ago.
Not gonna lie, I figured you swapped the guitars from dirty to clean, I knew the LP and PRS during the clean, but I vastly preferred the tone of the PRS on dirty and figured it was because you swapped them, because I preferred the LP on clean.
I have had Gibson Les Paul Classics/Traditionals/Standards/Deluxes/Juniors/Specials and sold them all. Now I have two PRS SE Custom 24s. The PRSs are better at a fraction of the cost. Lighter, more ergonomic, play easier and faster, sound amazing... plus the headstocks don't fall off.
Great Job! As soon as I heard the first strum I nailed it. I had a PRS and replaced it with a Les Paul. In this test, I liked the sound of the PRS a little bit better... Thanks!
I was wrong. The PRS sounded more like a LP than the Epi LP. I think pickups determine the sound or at least, a high high percentage of the sound. I like the PRS sounds slightly better.
@@Newnodrogbob you coiltap a single coil you cannot coil split a single coil, all it means is the lead is somewhere in the winding rather than the end of the coil allowing a weaker output, the reason for doing this is that high gain and distortion responds better to lower output pickups which allow more vintage distortion or are better pushing the amp for bluesy tones.
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 no one is arguing that you can coil split a single coil. Is there any particular reason you can’t coil tap a hum bucker? I understand the reason for coil tapping, but thanks for the explanation.
@@Newnodrogbob No you can, Either the Gibson Trad Pro V or the Classic was able to Split with 1 Push pull while on one model they had "out of phase" and on the other they had Coil Tap, Seymour Duncan also has lines meant for that. I am not really sure what you are debating Landon said was incorrect exactly.
Great comparison! I guessed the guitars easily. I had a PRS CE22 Artist for 16 years. Very fancy, eventually swapped it for a 2014 Les Paul Standard Plus. Really love the Les Paul.
I like humbuckers for some crunchy classic rock tones so I preferred guitar X - whichever one it was. I found guitar y to be muddy sounding with the driven tone.
Good video dude. I gotta say, I remember seeing one of your early videos, pre name change actually, and you've come a long way. I remember thinking "This dude seems like he's horrified to be in front of the camera," while now you seem much more natural and comfortable.
I guessed them right but think my correct guessing was helped by the PRS having open pickups and the Epiphone having covered pickups. I'm sure they both sound great in a room by themselves but back to back I heard a slightly more refined tone from the Epiphone, which I attribute more to the covers than the difference in brand, woods used etc...
I was surprised at how similar they actually sounded. The only reason I could tell the PRS apart was when you did a string bend the pitch of the low e dropped slightly. Making me question some assumptions here, bud.
another great vid my friend. I really think you should do a full kit build! I have done plenty.. you can do a stain and finish with gun stock oil. A great project
I didn't even try to guess cause I don't have either brand. I only have fenders. But i listened and thought i preferred Y. The Epiphone. And that surprised me.
I want both. If I had to choose it would be the PRS. I have a PRS SE acoustic. It was perfectly set up when I got it and 4 years later it still is. Don't know why the gave me a truss rod adjustment tool - never used it.
Great review. I love the blind challenge and I really gave it a few listens My preference in sound was neck pickup Y and bridge pickup X I guessed the Y neck pickup might be the Gibson has just founded a bit more fuller likely as it is a 22 fret guitar. So neck pickup placement is more traditional However both would be great to use as both sounded good.
Got them correct. Don't dislike Epiphone at all. I own a few. All Gibson electronics in them though. I also own 2 se customs. I like their pups way better.
I heard another comparison between an epi lp and a prs se, and once again I drew the same conclusion. If you're between these two, I feel like they sound close enough where how they feel to you should be the determining factor
How an Instrument feels should always be your #1 choice, second is the tone and sound, Why? because you can change everything else. I would rather Pay for a guitar and the manufacturer put all the money into the Wood selection, Comfort carves/woodworking, Finishing/Looks - Because at the end of the day, you can't really change those things unless you want a large job on your hands. Pickups, Pots , Wiring, Bridge, Tuners, Strings, can all be immediately changed for better.
@@landonbailey Especially on set neck guitars, you are pretty much stuck with it, 1 advantage to the bolt on neck at least is that you can swap the necks for a better one if you find it has faults you may not like down the road after playing on it, like radius and neck profile.
I wanted to buy the LP modern in radio blue so bad but I ended up getting a used PRS SE custom 24-08 for the same price. Cheers, maybe I’ll get one in the future
I guessed Guitar X as the PRS when you did a bend on a higher string with the low E ringing out. The low E went slightly flat when you bent up. Dead giveaway.
SE uses cheaper electronics... alpha pots and switch. Epiphone uses CTS now and their banded switch. However if you're good at soldering upgrade the electronics and the PRS will automatically be better in my opinion. I own both PRS SEs and Epiphones. To me the PRS is better quality and playability out of the box. Every Epiphone I've received has had sharp frets and some high frets. Never gotten that with an SE. PRS also inspect the SE line at the Maryland factory making sure the frets are good and the setup is within their specs. Epiphone don't send their guitars to Gibson in Nashville to be inspected. PRS has a better customer service support then Gibson/ Epiphone in my opinion. I would pick a PRS SE over an Epiphone any day if given the option. Not saying Epiphones are bad guitars because they are not. They are good guitars but they do need some work out of the box. Also I hate the Epiphone tune o matic they always buzz.
would you trust hanging your guitar wall hangers with those command wall hanging strips? they suppose to hold up to 16 pounds and saves you from putting holes in your drywall
You def know what mid level bedroom guitarists are interested in. Greta video and literally spent the last two years looking at these two guitars daily.
I like PRS esthetic and I like many artists that play PRS guitars, but whenever I picked up one I never felt at home. I guess I will remain a Gibson/Epiphone fan boy.
Which is funny because I'm the exact opposite lol. Every time I play an Epi or Gibson I'm always like "yeah this is awesome, sounds great and feels fine but..." And then I pick up a PRS and it's just "Oh yeah, this is it. It don't get any better then THIS!" Lol

@@landonbailey “Similar to how coil splitting essentially halves a humbucker, coil tapping cancels out the full length of the pickup magnet by taking the signal from a shorter point in the wire (usually around the midpoint). It can be utilised in both humbucker and single coil pickups.”
yeah I guessed right......probably dumb luck. I felt like the LP had more sustain and the SE "sounded" like it had a tremolo bridge (which I may have totally imagined). I love the back finish on the PRS but I like everything else on the LP.
@@landonbailey Hi Landon. Coil tapping means that there's a line (tap) run from the wind of a coil part of the way through the wind. The wind then continues and there's another termination further up. This would allow a pickup to have, say, 8000 wraps for a hotter sound, and be able to "tap" the earlier termination at, say, 5000 winds for a more vintage tone. This can be done with both single coils AND humbuckers. The humbuckers will simply have 4 wires for each pickup. Actually, it's USUALLY done with humbuckers. Coil splitting similarly would have four wires for a humbucker but it's simply that each of the half of the humbucker is wired to the switch and one can be grounded off so you're only using a single coil. P.S. I'm in YEG too and I just bought a second hand guitar and amp from L&M. I wonder if they were yours.
I won't ask you! I've got a prs! And I'm getting epiphone modern! Sooo..?? I'll just sit here and watch quietly 🤫! Thanks! Oops did I say that to loud? Sorry! Ssshh "thanks"!🤐 PS: I would a help correct you but I was busy sitting quietly!🤓🤐
Weight and playability on Epiphone or Gibson’s just ruins the experience for me. They play like a sheet of plywood. I’ve owned all them I kept the PRS not the others.
The PRS definitely sounded more pink while the Epiphone dominated in the blue department.
I was waiting for someone to finally notice! :P
I could tell the difference because I have the PRS SE Custom 24. It's a very bright sounding guitar.
I back off the volume and tone controls to 7.5ish and EQ it cutting some highs and it gets the tone I would have actually expected when I bought it. Incredibly versatile guitar. Middle position with the coil tap on is heaven for cleans and just a little dirt.
Had them right. Definitely tell the 85/15s pickups are brighter. I swapped mine out.
Nice job! What did you put in place?
Got it right, the neck pickup was a dead giveaway. The Les Paul is so much darker and dare I say muddier. Both sound good though and with some gain the sounded more alike than different.
yeah same thing here
If Ron Livingston and Paul Rudd were one person, and played guitar. I love this channel.
That pink PRS’ color is growing on me, but the blue Epiphone already has my heart.
it looks different depending on the lighting. almost more red sometimes
Thank you mister, you are making perfect videos, just one information I am missing, the weight of guitars.
Check out the weight in the full videos of each guitar

Don't feel bad, I purchased my first Les Paul back in 1977. 3 Years ago I bought my first Telecaster and haven't been able to put it down since!
the epiphone sounds beautiful. Very balanced and great tone.
I did a good today and guessed correct. LMAO'd at your response to the inevitable "which one should I buy?" question.
Not gonna lie, I figured you swapped the guitars from dirty to clean, I knew the LP and PRS during the clean, but I vastly preferred the tone of the PRS on dirty and figured it was because you swapped them, because I preferred the LP on clean.
I don't swap
I guessed correctly but I own the Modern in Faded Pelham Blue. I freaking love it.
ah nice! ya the modern series is great

The Epiphone Customs Moderns and prophecy Models are high end guitars
Great Job! As soon as I heard the first strum I nailed it. I had a PRS and replaced it with a Les Paul. In this test, I liked the sound of the PRS a little bit better... Thanks!
Got it right, the Les Paul sounds just like mine, very familiar. I have been looking at PRS for a while now and will have to pick one up.
check out the modern models. really nice
I had no idea which was which but in the end I preferred the PRS
I was wrong. The PRS sounded more like a LP than the Epi LP. I think pickups determine the sound or at least, a high high percentage of the sound. I like the PRS sounds slightly better.
They sound different enough to be worth buying both. I guessed right and would enjoy owning both if I get the chance.
Got it right 😀 I’d have to try them both but I do like the simplicity and aesthetics of the PRS more.
Fair enough!
Both nice. I like PRS sound
Cool, thanks
Yes I guessed them correctly. The PRS is brighter and has a little more punch while the Epiphone is more creamy and lower bottom end
cheers
I was a little nervous until I heard the bridge with some dirt, then I knew which was the Les Paul. Love these.
I would probably get it wrong
The Les Paul is my favorite guitar, been playing them for years, I may have just gotten lucky 🤣
You’re right about being wrong. Coil tap refers to adding a contact part-way up the coil, so you can have a lower-output signal

Great comparison, thank you! Exactly what I needed! I could tell them apart right away. I think I will go for the PRS.
Glad it was helpful!
It's PRS for me. Clean rich sound for both settings.
best is best for you

Rock on!
Got it right. But I love both guitars. On the Epi, some say muddy, some say "rounder" tone. Both sound great.
they are both great
Why x and y instead of a and b ? It's not a math question 😛
x=a and y=b. fixed!
I like humbuckers for some crunchy classic rock tones so I preferred guitar X - whichever one it was. I found guitar y to be muddy sounding with the driven tone.

hey thanks! ya learning how to talk to a camera was a challenge to learn. now I just pretend people are cameras
I got it backwards. Preferred the Epiphone’s tone.
play again, you can get it right
Side splitting jokes said with a straight face are always more better! 🤣👍🏼
they're ok :P
PRS is a maple top with a flame maple veneer on top of that its very thin layer or flame maple
it sounds tasty

Yays! I got the tone test correct. I'd like to say it's because I know my guitars and tones, but it was really just a guess.
50% of all people that attempt this blind tone challenge is equal to half 🤪
The black volume and tone knobs look much better.😁
The floating upside down guitars discombobulated me so gave up on the tone test. 😂
I think so too. and ya the upside down made my stomach go upside down
I guessed right. Sounded like the Epi had a little more crunch than the PRS
like Nestle
I have both guitars so I new the sound. the Paul is darker
ah cool!
what I have read you can coil tap humbuckers its just a different way to simulate a single coil
X vs Y:
- neck - 10:12 vs 11:01
Why does this guy remind me of a show that would come out on interdimensional cable?
because Aliens
Hey, should I get the PRS or the Epiphone?
Telecaster
I prefer to get this one instead of that one
that's the one!

Nothing beats a Les Paul, and an Epiphone is the closest thing to a real Gibson.
I guessed Guitar X as the PRS when you did a bend on a higher string with the low E ringing out. The low E went slightly flat when you bent up. Dead giveaway.
good ear! I can't pick out things like that
90% of my guitars have some sort of trem system so I'm pretty used to dealing with that little quirk.
also.. i love the new epi headstock! thank you Gibson
new old!
Both beautiful guitars
I was wrong on the tones. I thought you got one of them Canadian Leprechauns to replace one of them guitars with one of your Teles. Cheers, homie.

gave it away now
Holy crap, you're a riot!

The best epiphone les paul is the Korean made. Other than that I will take PRS over an epiphone anytime.
which model was that?
@@landonbailey it an epiphone les Paul I had back I believe it was 1990s. It had some the best tones.
From Leo: I like the tones from Guitar X better. Goo Demo
hey Leo cheers!
Do they both have the same build quality?
I would say the Epiphone has a more premium feel in this case.
People tell me my most defining feature is my medium sized hands.
Dont you go on to sell the PRS to buy the Gibson SG. Thats not an endorsement of the PRS.
what? I bought the PRS
yeah I guessed right......probably dumb luck. I felt like the LP had more sustain and the SE "sounded" like it had a tremolo bridge (which I may have totally imagined). I love the back finish on the PRS but I like everything else on the LP.

P.S. I'm in YEG too and I just bought a second hand guitar and amp from L&M. I wonder if they were yours.
I dont know what a YEG is! What guitar and amp?
I won't ask you! I've got a prs! And I'm getting epiphone modern! Sooo..?? I'll just sit here and watch quietly 🤫! Thanks! Oops did I say that to loud? Sorry! Ssshh "thanks"!🤐 PS: I would a help correct you but I was busy sitting quietly!🤓🤐
Weight and playability on Epiphone or Gibson’s just ruins the experience for me. They play like a sheet of plywood. I’ve owned all them I kept the PRS not the others.
have you played this LP Modern?
@@landonbailey no I heard it’s weight relieved so I will have to try one, I couldn’t handle the weight of the standard Les pauls
