that explorer had some HOT pickups in it
+Mox_au yeah! The 500T in the bridge!
I'm always amazed how crazy and "unmusically" the explorer looks on the one hand and how musically, harmonic and perfect it sounds on the other.
I was thinking the same thing until one day I went to buy a strat from a guy and saw an explorer on his wall. After testing the explorer I did not want the strat anymore.
The dirty tones of the SG were awsome!
+JacknCocaine Thanks man, it's got an old Super Distirtion in the bridge
you gave me an idea now. i will get a used sg and throw in a super distortion.
Great tones all around! Not often you get to hear an explorer or a flying V played clean. I think the 335 was my favorite in this video.
+xMasterxRazorx thanks :-)
I love the comparisons you do on your channel, Johan. This one included. It really is an educational service you're providing to us mere mortals who are probably never going to get the chance to hear the differences between these classic Marshalls, guitars, speakers etc that you show us. Bravo and thanks.
+Chris ACT Thanks Chris! Very glad to hear that. Cheers Johan
I just started watching your videos. Totally awesome. Some of the best guitar tones I have ever heard. Thanks man.
+Corbin Hales Thanks Corbin! You make my day :-)
Another Day another amazing demo that just kills. Thanks Johan, awesome!! Very insightful for some folks who will NEVER get to put all these guitars side by side and capture the sound of each guitar decide what tone they want for themselves. I like 'em all, and can hear place for each of them. Great demo and keep'm coming, Cheers !!
that was such an ear pleasing demo and very informative. In the past I've criticized your tone, this was such an improvement.
It's all about a great amp. It can bring out the best in a guitar. They all sounded really nice. I love this channel.
Cleans on the Jazzmaster were lovely. Still saving for my own super lead but man your vids are making it hard to wait.
Great run-through Johan. It was cool to hear all the different voices of the different instruments. I'm partial to the Les Paul & Marshall combo, but I loved them all for different reasons.
I have never heard better tones on any RUclips channel ever, not even on records these days.
+Hey! It's Me! Thanks, I appreciate it!
Les Paul and SG are my favorites.
+Corbin Hales mine too :-) My goto guitars
Explorer sounded amazing...SG was really nice too. Great video!
+Gara M Thanks, glad to hear it!
What a great video! Thank you for putting this together. The SG completely surprised me here.
+Justin Pasko Thanks man!
Actually heard the first riff in my head again and tried to remember the band so I could listen to it on
spotify.
Then accidentally came upon this vid again after a couple of months since I last watched it. Awesome creation, man.
That explorer sounded great!
+RokinLee I agree. Les Paul sounded good too
RokinLee it sure did I was actually surprised how good it sounded
Yeah, I was surprised at how good the explorer sounded as well. But nothing beats the les paul. The sg with the dimarzios comes close though.
I agree, same with the tele, strat, Les paul, sg, es, jazzmaster, and flying v
you "set the bar" high with another great video!
Awesome playing!
Awesome Tone!
And. nice hat.
Thanks, Johan!
+Mark Jaeckel Thanks Mark, so good to hear that!
as usual
a video masterpiece
thanks and all the best Johan !!
Evertyime I think of a combination, I always seem to find the answers here. Awesome Channel Johan, keep up the great work.
Always enjoy your videos, thank you and keep up the great guitar work!
+Zach Johnson Thanks Zach!
I love that flying v brother Johan!
Awesome videos my brother guitar man!
Cheers! Your videos are simply the coolest!
Keep up the good work Johan ! You are addicted to real analog and real staff, like as many subscribed to your page! We all are so proud of you ;)......Thank youuu !
Nice demo. Very useful. I liked the 335 & Flying V on the clean, SG on dirty, SG and 335 on the lead
All great guitars, and some suprised me in a good way.
For me it is the SG, good for everything!
Thanks for the great video!
+Sander Groenhuijsen Thanks Sander!
Love your vids! Great work.
As always Johan superb. I'm equal parts delighted you share these amazing amps and guitars with us and jealous i can't get my hands on them! haha! Loved the almost Glam Rock section at 2.45. I was doing fills on low tuned saturated drums in my head lol.
+McSenna1979 haha! Thanks man :-)
Was just watching this again. It would be really cool to see this guitar lineup but with a Fender amp like a deluxe reverb or such.
As always, you rock!
xMasterxRazorx exactly what I wanted to say, thanks!
Great show. I love my SG.
+Paul Montero Thanks Paul!
Thanks man! You really help our lives become better!!! Rock on!
Love the 335 and the LP, but that V is incredible sounding!!!
Again Johan another brilliant and valuable video. I own a shit load of Marshall’s and of course a boat load of guitars
and this Video helped me dial in the sound of the Plexi with different guitars other than my 6 Les Pauls.
Thanks brother from another
Fantastic Video thoroughly enjoyed it 🤘🏼
Flaying V is the best guitar for clean stuff and blues!
With think and warm sound...and for high gain tone too!
The V really changed my perception of the instrument in this context.
Amazing how similar SG’s are to LP’s too.
The standout for me is the 335 and you can really hear it’s versatility shine through here.
Love this video and it also goes to show how guitar players only need a simple combo of great amp head , speaker cab plus any one of these to get TONE . Rock on Johan
What an awesome video!! Great playing and tone!!
+Brad Parish Thanks Brad! Glad to hear it
Great video Johan! I just found your channel and I am loving it! Keep it up Johan!
+Jacob Moustafa Welcome my friend! glad to have you here! Cheers Johan
I love Les Paul's...I cannot have enough of them. With that being said, the SG dirty had it going on.
thanks for the video! I like the explorer the most actually, which I was not expecting
I was blown away by the Explorer clean. It has a lot of twang for a Gibson with humbuckers, but obviously has that chunkiness that even heavier sounding Fenders lack.
Johan you are the best, greetings from MÉXICO city I don't miss you're work very imteresting keep rocking
Love the guitars and the sound, great show ,thanks Mw
+mini0705 Thanks! Glad to hear it.
Amazing video.Thank you for sharing it with us.
+Atipam Thanks! Glad to hear it
Really nice comparison, Johan! I like the 335 a lot, and the Flying V surprised me! Kinda more versatile than I thought it could be. And I think it looks good on you:-)
+Mats Frånlund Thanks my friend, now I have to get a V! :-)
I love this unadulterated guitar tone. To me, the stratocaster tone sounds best. Great rythm playing johan. Thanks for all those precious clips.
Congratulations Johan! This video very interessant ...the different tonals ...very good friend !!! regard (Artur- i'm from Brazil !! ) ;)
You're the only guy I know who can make a Gibson sound better clean than a Fender. Love your stuff!
Well they were designed from the ground up to be clean guitars
IMHO and to my sound, in cleans: 1. Les Paul; 2. Strat; 3. Flying V. ; in crunch: 1. ESS 355; 2. Les Paul. 3. Explorer.
Excellent!
I really love your LP but that ES335 sounded awesome
+Dee Dee Ramone Thanks :-)
The Stratocaster sounds amazing! The Les Paul is great as well. It would be nice to hear some sort of P90 equipped guitar in the mix at some point. Maybe a later video.
This was the video I was waiting for! Thx a lot Johan, you the best! P.s. I wish there was a Lp junior also
+stipeur Thanks! I'll include a Jr inte the next one :-)
Great Video! I liked the ES335 the best.
+covfox Thanks! :-)
Another great video Johan. The tones that you get are lovely. I would really like to see/ hear you do a simple little bit of work with a firebird and that wonderful growling thunderbird bass as it's a combination i feel is shockingly undervalued for a hard rock or not too extreme metal sound.
+The Conrad Channel Thanks! I'll include the firebird in the next one. Am a big fan of T-bird too
+Johan Segeborn Great! I look forward to that!
Very nice. You do some of the best comparisons on you RUclips. Please keep them coming. Could you do a tweed deluxe 5e3 demo? Thanks in advance. Daniel. Australia.
+lilipearl1 Thanks! I have demoed the 57 Reissue here
ruclips.net/video/69WI-dPwVA8/видео.html
If I get my hands on an original I'll do a clip :-)
Cheers
Johan
+Johan Segeborn thanks. I just watched it, and I got to do the 100👍. Thanks Johan.
I liked the SG dirty the best ! Thanks Johan ! : )
+Mitchell Ferre Thanks Mitchell, yeah it was quite thick sounding with the DiMarzio
That Sg was great!!!
Di marzio superdistortion,nothing better to rock
I probably like the 335 most, normally not a humbucker guy
+jtn191 thanks :-)
Agreed
Same. Need the 335 now
Another great video 👍🏼 :)
+Jack Williamson Thanks Jack :-)
Very good. Wish had a bit of the Strat neck pickup, but overall awesome video.
I like the most 335 and SG, but all are really good, thanks Johan.
+Dan Noc Thanks Dan!
I appreciate the fact that you play the same thing on each guitar
This is really good stuff! I like the variety of sounds from different guitars. Maybe you can find a nice Gretsch too..? Thanx!
+NPGANDERSSON Yeah, I'm a fan of Country Gentleman
Wowie, that V with the gain up is a chunky sound!
+jprg1966 yeah, all that meat without being muddy!
i think keeping the same settings between fender and gibson guitars doesn't work out well. VERY nice sound with all the gibsons but a little thin and wirey with all the fenders. Beautiful amp though, still dreaming of mine!
+Alexander R Starreveld Thanks Alexander, I agree either Fenders end up sounding thin or the Gibsons muddy.
Starreveld: Agreed. Settings is crucial to make one's guitar sound better.
The Tele sounded the thinnest of all, you got a little more bottom end with the Stra t and Jazzmaster. I noticed that you started getting that great bratty grit with the S G, V, and Explorer and full grit with the RD and the Paul.
Next time add a Firebird! Amazing video though, great and effective comparison as always
Thanks Frank, I’m glad to hear it! And yeah the Firebird is indeed one of classics too
wow nice one johan i loved the tele as i owned a baja mim for a while and it was a seriously cool guitar through a marshall the sg well it was awesome and even the strat sounded nice but still number one the les paul.......cant wait for the next👍🏻👍🏻👏🏽👏🏽
+huskvarsm Thanks! Great to hear :-)
The 335 and (surprisingly) the V sounded great, especially clean!
+KnapfordMaster98 Thanks! :-)
A lotta blues guys play Vee's! You mightn't think so, but take notice, I'll bet you'll see them pop up blues scenarios more now that you've read this..
The first song you re playing is fantastic!
+Luca Ubaldi Thanks Luca, that's great to hear! :-)
I really liked the strat, that amp will make any guitar sound good!
+buzzsaw63 Thanks!
Thank you! This is the best movie about pickups!
Hahaha, thats partly true of course.
My worthless opinion is that the V seemed to be in the golden middle of them all. It was not too bright, not too muddy, not too hot, etc... Thanks for all that you do!
Oh man never thought I would like a tele into a 50w but that is it for me today
Today I learned that if I ever buy a jazz master that I should also purchase a boost pedal. That strat sounded so sweet at the beginning there. Absolutely beautiful sounds.
+Gareth Webb Thanks Gareth, yeah I really expected the Jazzmaster to be hotter than the Tele
Wow I wish my local music store would borrow to me. Keep up the videos man. Can't wait to see the next one.

+Johan Segeborn Everyday is a school day, Johan. It almost sounded like it was coming through a small AM radio through the clean sections there. Fun comparison. Cheers.
+Gareth Webb Cheers!
Thanks for that very good job....once again. You rule Johan.
+lennyced31 Thanks! Glad to hear it. :-)
It's a Lead & the cab has 4 G12T-75's.
Thanks for getting back to me!
+1965fatbob Hi! Then I'd go for Weber!
+1965fatbob Weber is more transparent but a little darker than Hotplate
good video and well played.
+BigEdWo thanks man!
Gött,Johan!.. tack för kanondemo!!.. nu säljer jag kärringa!!.. blir en plexi..!! :-D
+Peter Nilsson hahaha :-) Tackar!
Clean I like the LP most. Second is the SG for me.
With overdrive I like the Explorer most. The V was nice too :)
Great video (:
Thanks! Glad to hear it.
All guitars sounds amazing..but your Plexi is pure poetry :)
+vanhandren Thanks! Glad to hear it :-)
Honestly they all sounded great. Each was different - if only I could record a song used all of these guitars!
Just my $.02 -
For the clean sounds - on the Fender side, it's the Telecaster. On the Gibson side, I liked the 335.
For the crunch sounds - on the Gibson side, it's the Explorer. On the Fender side, I liked the Jazzmaster.
Honorable mention goes to the V.
+CV SoG Thanks!
Great as always! I reckon that you didn't alter the amps EQ when changing guitars? I loved the sound of the humbuckers but the singlecoil-models sounded a bit weak. Guess they could use a bit more bass and less treble. :)
+larsarnelana Thanks! Yeah I kept the EQ constant maybe a bit at the expense of the Fenders.
such a great video
I have a strat and a Telecaster but gibson+Plexi in your videos are breaking my heart. The Tele sound good but the strat sound is
skinny. Sorry my english is bad. Your videos are the best!!!GRACIAS!!!
+jejealin Gracias!
cool vid liked the es and the explorer did I miss youre vid with pleximaster on the marshall major
+rocknroor Thanks, the Pleximaster Interview is in the works
Nice! Hade vart kul om du kunde tuta lite marshall mot fender förstärkare! Står mellan en 1974x och en bassman alt. en blues deluxe reverb! Helt olika djur, jag vet haha. Hälsningar från Falkenberg!
+Henrik Bengtsson Tjena Henrik! Jag ska jämföra en Fender Bassbreaker med en Marshall Bluesbreaker om ett tag. Ska se om jag kan få med de andra senare också. Hälsningar Johan
Fyfan va kungligt! :D
I use the SG as my go-to guitar due to it's light weight, looks and bity tone. In the studio I tend to also gravitate to Telecasters and ES' for some additional versatility. I love the twang in a Telecaster, especially for clean tones. The ES on the other hand his a very lush, round-sounding guitar. Also great for some solos. Sonically the Flying V isn't that far from the SG, but I'd love to have one for the sheer coolness factor.
Be that as it may, the SG is a well-rounded choice for matters both aesthetic and practical for my needs.
The reverse-zebra pups on that V is making my OCD flare up, lol.
And the winner is.All of them. I think they are all great sounding guitars.
this is a great resource
+Alexander ”'Xander'” Sack Thanks man! Glad to hear it!
That SG sounds awesome!
I like the explorer and flying v.
They have like a more bass sound and doesnt sound as bright and flimsy as the fender if you know what i mean. I still love fender tho
335 is sweet but the strat is sweeter and more sparkly. Thank you for this video :D
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Explorer and Flying V are the only ones with ceramic magnet pickups, while the others have alnico magnet pickups. Personally, I love the sound of ceramic magnet pickups.
That jazzmaster sounded awesome on the dirty channel
Thank you for another superb video!
Request: Marshall Class 5 Combo and Head comparison with a Plexi? I've had both and think they sound superb!
Hi Johan, love your videos and playing as always.
I know you've done it with speakers and the odd guitar, but would it be possible to compare vintage amps with their modern reissue counterparts, or modern amps that are not clones as such but in the same ballpark, e.g. the Blackstar Artisans and their new Artist series combos?
+alecboyyes Thanks! There's s 2005 Super Lead that's compared to 14 Plexis in this clip:
ruclips.net/video/dSqGwEgEUgg/видео.html
I'm gonna compare a 2015 Marshall 1987X to a 1967 Marshall 1987 soon too.
And a new Zagray vs a 1968 Superlead.
I'll keep it in mind.
Cheers Johan
+Johan Segeborn Cool, will keep an eye out for those. The new Fender Bassbreakers are an interest concept also, Fender doing Marshall doing Fender! Would be interesting to see how they compare to the real thing, especially since you have no worries about turning up to 11!
Wow nice comparison, but man that 335 Gibson sounded awesome through both amps.
Great great idea. Best guitar compare on youtube. Great sounding instruments. love paulas.
+Iamthelao Thanks! Really glad to hear it.
Les Paul sounds so complete and best to me! Amazing video as always
+Misha T. Thanks Misha, yeah the LP is nicely balanced. Cheers Johan
+Johan Segborn I'm thinking about getting an LP, what would you say does an LP need to have such a nice balanced tone?
SG for me... Maybe Strat...
My man, that vintage jazzmaster ❤️❤️❤️
