What a difference! Now I understand!The more expensive the guitar, the louder the drums get. Brilliant! I’d better save my money.
Was looking for that comment!
Yea no kidding 😂
Being playing guitar for 20 years now... glad my 200$ guitar is as good as the 9000$ one😅
@blue😂😂
Fuk'n funny.....
Smoke cigrits ....
$1200 is the best deal. It comes with the drums! 😎
3200 sound bit detuned
Ok ditambah vocal akan lebih mahal lagi 😂
2 ,3,4 good
1 fatality
wait for 100,000 it comes with a singer...
@@maynarddaguio1093 😂 accurate
330 = firewood
1200 = buy it now!!
3200 = no point
9000 = buy a watch, if you were any good Gibson would give you a free one.
My thoughts exactly
buy an ESP Les Paul or sg $1000 rip off. save money and it's better! faster action neck, better pickups, better bridge, better tuners and made from better wood
Strongly disagree. Take the Epipi over the last two unless they were given to me. AHHAHA
Forca Milan
Exactly
Every time someone likes my comment, I'll come back and listen to this masterpiece...
The best is 9000. It comes with louder drums, bass, rhythm guitar, and a keyboard.
100%
😂
😂
Ha
Still doesn’t come in tune though 😂
The jump from 330 to 1200 is significant
nahh, use headphones and you will notice the difference, it is huuuugeee
@@dantsu1616that’s exactly what he said
@@DwayneHicksCpl oh sorry, for some reason I read "insignificant" instead of significant
It seems that way to me too BUT the 330 model was the only one played in total isolation. It might have sounded better in context.
due to the backing music imo
$1200 is the most practical guitar to purchase money wise but I'll still buy the $9000 if I have the money. 😂
This proves that it doesn't matter what guitar, it's the player. Just play, just rock, be unique.
Anything over 1200. Is either custom or yours paying for prestige and brand. The best guitars top out 1200. And by best i mean quality built, with good hardware. 800-1200. Anything more and you're getting into vintage garbage. I dont get the vintage craze.. yyou. Have to. Put a grand of work into them to make them sound like a stock 1200$ modern guitar.
Only time a guitar is worth 10k is if it's a beautiful handmade piece of art acoustic.
The more expensive ones sounded better. Get your ears checked.
It ain't worth no 9 fucking grand, but the tone got better with each one
So… no matter how much a guitar costs …. Just remember to tune it😂😂😂😂
Real
It might not be the case because the scale of the Les Paul is short, being 24.5, and tuning stability on shorter models is unstable, among other hardware quality factors. That is why Fender makes longer scale guitars because 25 scale is the sweet spot for tuning stability, but sacrifices playability.
@@AlvaroArriazaPolanco whatever… just tune it before recording a video…. I hope stability will last for a couple of minutes playing 👍🏻👍🏻
You are the goat ❤
🤣🤣🤣 True true true ...
$1200 was the most bang for your buck for me
330 bro
SAME
Yes, I thought same thing.
Gibson Les Paul Tribute in Honeyburst.
My first guitar was the 2018 model of that line.
Same
The one benefit I have found to the Gibsons over the $1000 mark is that unless you damage them somehow the resell value is really good. I’ve never gotten less than probably 85% of MSRP and usually get offers higher than what I paid for sought after models.
You are right 330 is the best sound to price comparison...
It is very important to tune the instruments before playing.

All except 4th guitar is out of tune
@@endenverted9237
With the $3,200 being the MOST out of tune. Good ear.
they are lmfao (except probably the 3.2k one) the other guitars are just intonated worse than the 9k and theyre playing around the octive and higher so being poorly intonated is super easy to hear. gibson has sh*t quality control theyre known for it so i wouldnt be suprised on a a 3.2k guitar having a bad setup out of the box. this guy might be pressing too hard on the frets so hes squeezing his notes out of tune or the intonation is sh*tty on his guitars and he needs to take them to a guitar tech to have his set-up adjusted lol.
(intonation can be roughly described as how well a guitar stays in tune as you go up the neck, the rule for intonating is that you want the 12th fret [aka the octive] to make the **exact** same note as the open string [intonation also will literally never be perfect on a traditionally designed guitar neck/fretboard]
Most pros play live and practice daily with 1-2k range guitar. That’s the sweet spot you should expect for an all around good guitar. Anything more and it’s either an antique or made out of wood grown on mars.
most don't usually hear the difference, you feel it as you play it.
They all sound like the $120 mic and my $70 earbuds
the fact someone finally understanding what I've been saying on all these comparison videos lmao. on top of that the recording becomes a compressed rip file which messes with the audio even more. to many people actually believe a 300 dollar guitar sounds the same as a 9000 dollar guitar based on a short is crazy to me
It doesn't even matter..
Ni una puta diferencia... y no creo que sean mis fonos de 2 doláres ..
@@stephensarmento3529to be fair the hardware and maaaayyybbe neck are going to be the two things that cause a major difference aside from the person playing it, at least with electric guitars.
@@stephensarmento3529 idk, I play piano, and learned on a 1918 Steinway. The feel and how you interact with the instrument is just totally different...so it affects the player, which will affect the listener. Guitar: I sound the same on a squire Jr or Steve Vai's set up...after 40 years of trying,
*Lets play the cheapest one on its own and add the rest of the instrumental on the background while using the expensive ones so they'll sound better.*

I am great in making $9000 guitar sound like $90 guitar. 😂😂😂
I don't know why people will just decide to waste their time reading my comment when clearly I have nothing to say.
And this person is still reading it.
The amp is what really makes the difference.
The pickups too, buy a cheap guitar and expensive pickups
@@Chris-sv8tyagreed. I used to own a Les Paul Studio (which is most likely the $1200 one based on the lack of neck binding and no mother of pearl on the “Gibson” logo on the headstock) and what made a gigantic difference was the pickups. I put 57 classics in and they sounded perfect. Sold it because I was tired of repairing the neck. But not before taking out the pickups.
@@Chris-sv8tyexactly
@@kgunitkeese17 You just proved the point of the vid. It's more than the sound, It's the quality as well. You can make a $1200 guitar as good as a $3200 one by adding high end upgrades. OR, Buy the $3200 guitar in the first place.. In reality, Adding the parts that the $3200 guitar comes with to your $1200 guitar would probably cost more than the extra $2000 you'd spend in the first place.
Different hardness.
They all sound great when you know how to play
the $1200 guitar sounds super clean, and you can't get that sounds in the $330 guitar
@@NicolasSilvaVasaultWhen it compares to that 9000 one, I prefer 1200, which sounds more rocked.😂 And 330 sounds not so fluent
Depending on the string tune equals tone. The equipment used, raise or lower the stereo effect. No two identical things are identical. Truth and facts you take two speakers hook one up then the other back to back. Listen to one then unhook it the Listen to the second one the tone isnot the same. I know that for fact. This is critical. I'm not putting my 10 cent's in this anywhere. It's equalizer n all. Few people should think before hand.
1. sounds like guitar
2. Comes with drums and extra rhythm backing track
3. Like 2 But + bass
4. 3 but louder
3.4.
For those who say they can't tell the difference from $1200 and up, that is a good thing because it saves you money lol However, I do hear the subtle difference. Whether it's worth the extra money is up to you to decide. But try this... if you're any good at soldering, look up what pick-ups are in the $9000 guitar and put them in the guitar you can afford. Soldering pick-ups is quite easy. Great pick-ups aren't cheap, but they are much cheaper than upgrading your guitar if your guitar feels good to play... ie., nice action, stays in tune, the right size neck, for your comfort, etc. I bought bass pick-ups for the same price as I paid for my cheap practice bass, and after installing them, it just improved the sound for a fraction of the price of upgrading to a higher priced brand. Remember, pick-ups can make a world of difference for a fraction of the guitar upgrade costs!
pick up upgrades make practically ZERO difference. Upgrade your speaker :)
@segueoyuri sorry to hear you can't tell the difference, lol
Agreed. Pups are 90% of the guitar's sound.
@@dw1784 the difference you're imagining in your head when you see a price tag? That's very hard to hear for outsiders... lol
@@john564holloway are you sure it isn't the wood? Or the finish? Or the neck setup? Or the frets? hahahah

Its not just about the the sound quality that improves, but the feel when you shread. 😊
I agree!
Definitely yes
both 1200 and 9k sounded better.. 3200 is the sneaky one😂
You high AF

In my opinion it's the 3200$
@@dhkridanagrupyes sir!
I hate to say it but the one for 9000 is by far the best tone. 3200 is good too.
Yes. Also, some are significantly more out of tune than others. That didn't help the comparison.
@@slugtoenail True 😂
Yes it's smooth and even.
agree
The custom is the best sounding, but also the only one halfway in tune, so that helps
The $3200 and $9000 guitars come with a bass player AND a drummer so they both are the better deals.
The $9000 is clearly the winner for the manufacturer
Diminishing returns. Massive difference between $330 & $1200 but you would need to play the next two back to back or have a better ear than mine to find a difference.
i think the difference is because que still has the plastic on the pickups haha
If the $330 one was the played with the mix going you would not have noticed a difference, methinks...
@@maxwellblakely7952also if it was in tune... The only one in is the last one
I would be 120293039 dollar on the fact that this is a fake video. This sound is from one of the guitars and repted for all the others. And the sound is dreadful. Maybe tune the guitar and it would sound ok
@@AnjektusStudio i mean there really isn't going to be that much of a difference between them all in terms of sound so it's likely you're just hearing the reality
Be good to hear them all in isolation like the first one.
$1,200 - $9,000 they basically all sound the same with very minor differences but the $300 is a good beginner guitar.
That and are they using same amp with same settings
I was thinking same thing
You could make the $300 one sound better with a different pickup
This.....
I've been playing with the 1.2k with a VOX AC30 for a few years now and it just sounds amazing. With no intent of being professional I think it does the job perfectly.
(Mine is the Gibson Les Paul tribute 2019 to be precise, not quite the same)
The good one is the one that you have. The most iconic players made their own guitars from scrap and the blues style comes from broken pianos …
$9000 has a smoother richer more complex tone than the rest. The most pleasant to listen to. $1200 is best sound for money.
There was less bass and more midrange in the $1,200 guitar
The 3k one was slightly out of tune, the 9k sounded best, can hear the hide glue, long tendon and braz. Kidding, but it did sound the best.
$1200 sounds great, but the $300 one can totally get the job done. I wish we had cheap guitars this good in the 70's and 80's.
They did. In the 60s you could buy a Fender strat usa for $300 (roughly $2k today) and those can go upward to $150k with collectors
Plenty of Fenders and Gibsons used where I grew up in the 70's for $300.
Who created it's own sound was the artist...
These comparisons are pointless for youtube compression, but, i keep watching because music is great
Every one of those guitars can sound as good as the record
Biggest bang for the buck and great sound at 1200
Nigga the 1200 is louder than the 330 thats why it sounds better
La tribute ❤
Could say this for almost any brand 👍
Deveria ter usado todas com a música de fundo, a mais barata já começa sem música aí fica fácil
Have to agree actually 🤘🎸
$330 to $1,200 was a huge difference.
$1,200 to 3,200 practically identical.
$3,200 to $9,000 noticible (not much) difference.
UffffI thought my musical hearing was fucked up😂
100% agree! The 1200 model perfect!
Yes sir .. nailed it

That's what I thought too.
Slash Guitar $100.000 ❤❤❤
The custom is literally the only guitar in tune. If you can’t hear that these guitars are out of tune you shouldn’t be judging any of them.
3200 and 9000 are indistinguishable, 1200 to 3200 is noticeable and 330 to 1200 is a massive improvement
9000 gives off a much cleaner sound
If you think the 3200 to 9000 is indistinguishable, you need to have your ears checked. Don't get me wrong, I ain't saying it's worth the money, but there was a very noticeable difference between the two.
Its called the law of diminishing returns. Basically, first you go from 330 to 1200 which is lets say a 50% improvement and a 870 difference then you go from 1200 to 3200 which is lets say a 35% improvement and a 2000 dollar difference then from 3200 to 9000 which is a 20% improvement and 5800 dollar difference, then so on and so forth. Basically the higher and higher up you pay more and more for less and less.
$3200 kinda sounds like is off tune
@@hermittanuki556the Intonation of the 3200 was awful

Oh good lord. There's not a HUGE quality jump between 1200 and 3200. But going from 3200 to 9000 is like night and day. Holy crap.

How about tuning the third one. That might help.
Bro😂 right?!?@
That's all I could think of, tuning seems off in the whole video to me.
😂😂

😂
Not gonna lie. I listened with my eyes closed and the $330 was my fav each time. Reminds me of 1999 and brought back pure nostalgia of a true garage band.
❤
Idem,anche per me la prima resta la migliore,ma...io non suono una musicista e nel primo pezzo,si sente solo lei,senza il resto della band😅
❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah what we need is tweak the amp a little bit and we can make 300 dollars guitar sounds like 3000 dollars guitar
@paulgilbert3139 agreed! There was something about the tone that just brought back old memories! You can have all of the fancy equipment in the world and sometimes a sound, and how it is played brings more value and creates a larger impact. Music is about connection, not a price tag. (Not knocking expensive sound, just pointing out it isn't always necessary) Rock on! 🤘
Bro really just demoed 14k worth of guitars and didn't even take the time to tune them
The first one is awesome, since I'm a budget guitarist! 😅
I'm sharing my opinion NOT to be a jerk, but to provide constructive criticism. First and foremost, please tune / intonate all of the guitars. It's difficult to listen for tonal differences when some notes sound "cringy". Secondly, You can't possibly have a fair comparison when 3 of the samples are in a mix and the first one isn't. You can hear at the end of the "$1,200" clip, when the song kicks in, the high notes (F# and F) they become compressed (smoothed out) by the mix. Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk; you obviously spent a good deal of time putting this video together and I appreciate it. I hope my observations can help for future videos.
Very helpful advice 👌 👍
2023 and still people don't know how to properly tune their guitars
Hendrix had his guitar out of tune on half the songs he recorded, nobody cares
@@bartbart4702So you havent heard how stupidly bad the take on the 3200 one sounds, CONGRATS YOUR EARS ARE CORRUPTED

@robotmodeactivatedmusic7716 I mean he did not even bother to tune it
Yeah this was a hard listen. How are all four guitars so out of tune
Like most things, the cheapest option is garbage, but one step up is all you need.
Get the $330 Epiphone, upgrade the pickups, and save yourself hundreds
$300 plus equalizer does the trick to manage the tone you really really want.
for 300 you got an axe without sustain. the good wood comes with more money. and it will create harmonics which dont exist on cheap wood.
I did not know sweet child of mine could be played with such little soul
It did sound lacking.
It's just a simple scale really.

The $9000 definitely sound way more airy and transparent. Simply the best.

@@wayd19lmao
the irony is Slash had a Gibson replica for this tune
The biggest difference can be heard from $300 to $1200, that's all.
The 9K is super crisp sounding
Quality pickups
@@darkshaman7087 I mean, that's 90% of what's going on here in general, is build quality of the pickups/wiring
A blind test is the only way to know - also, without the added instrumentation that came in for the latter models
This is an unfair comparison because of the background music hides the subtleties and the differences of the tone.
And also the EQs of the pickups are different so the impact the distortion in different ways. The Epiphone has too much treble and sounds fizzy. That's not the guitar that's just the way the guitar is distorted in the amplifier.
The most expensive guitar is much darker, and cleaner. The third guitar is mid-range.
But you could take any great pickups and throw them in that cheap guitar and it would sound the same.
That would be treble....
I'd imagine changing the pick ups & nut would make a difference and you would hardly tell a difference
@@SteamHammer7changing the nut would only marginally affect the tone of open string notes. All guitar tone only comes from pickup, strings and pickup height.
Don't see the unfairness really, it's a controlled comparison.
Gotta pay the premium to get the lazy build (less tweaking of EQ), I reckon a good EQ pedal at the start of the Epiphone chain can make it sound 90% close.
But who has time for that effort, we just pay 2 grand :D
honestly the cheap epi doesn't have enough treble and its really muddy. the 1200 dollar gibson is the clearest sounding one because it doesn't have the nasty muddy lower mids of the epi.
Active pickups also make a HUGE difference
Once you get to $1200, you can't tell the difference
I'm all in on the $1200 gibson usa
I'm with you . The expensive ones sound too smooth and polished for my ears
My poor dumbass cant handle the smoothness and refined sound
Put the pickups from the $1200 in the $300. That's where the tone really comes from.
THIS. Plus you'll save some money lol
So the type of wood does not influence the sound? I'm a guitar beginner..
@@erikleffi3911 not that much indeed on a elec guitar. Mics and the way you play are a huge part of the sound
That is so not true tone comes from the material and the design of the neck and body.
@@erikleffi3911Yes it does do not listen to these coping idiots
It's not about the price for guitar or equipment, it's about your skills
Get the one you can afford as long as it feels good to play, then put the good pickups in it. With the same pickups the sound is 99% identical.
$300 for me .. an amazing tone, vibrant and nailed it. Now I've got $8700 to spend
Agree. because 330 is the market for us that's why they made a cheap one. Tell the $9k one to a rich guitar enthusiast and it's a no brainer for them and they still have 991000 to spend.
Dump them on a good amp and a shit ton of pedals XD
Why? Just get a 4500 guitar and a kick ass amp and pedals and you’ll be so happy.
And the added brightness - adjust the EQ/tone a hair! $300 all the way!
There is no $300 guitar
Definitely some difference in build. Materials. But would like to see the difference with the same pickup in all
They will sound extremely similar
They would sound the same.
Only difference I can really see with that is maybe more sustain or slightly louder unplugged if it’s made out of a really dense wood, I have an ovation magnum bass and it’s not very thick but it’s really dense and quite loud on its own for a solid body
Tone wood ain’t real brother stop believing this garbage
I put a pair of Di Marzio anniversary Pick ups in my 700Euros Gibson , ( a Thomann special run years ago) this “cheap” GIBSON sounds now like a high priced one. It’s mostly about the right pick ups.
Equipment is everything. On a guitar pickups are all that truly matter. Everything else is your amps, pedals/plug-ins.
$1200 for a Les Paul standard? I’ll take it.
Me with our broom in the living room busting this banger on full volume:
This is a good example of the law of diminishing returns. The difference between the first two was quite significant. The rest, not so much.
Actually there's considerable difference between each other. Less from 3k to 9k, but most probably because of the pickups.
$1200 was the best sound for this melody.
Epiphone >>>>> All guitars from this video
I have the 330 one and don’t underestimate it ! It’s absolutely lovely
$330 one sounds like a police siren in Paris. 😂
I think the 330 $ one sounds mostly like the real deal. They all sound good but in a concert hall the right one, is the one played. 🤩🤩🤩

It makes you know that skill is important.
I had a rip off fender from a store called “Argos” back in 2004, still to this day the BEST electric guitar I’ve ever owned, sounded better than anything I bought after it 😂
Yeah, some of those guitars are the sleepers. Look like shit, yet sound better then the new gen usa strats. 😂
My choice would be first guitar!😊
It ain’t the guitar it’s the musician
When I get an Epiphone. I always replace the caps, pots, wiring and pickups. Also new paint in the cavities along with copper tape. Sounds much sweeter after that.
Exactly...and the amount of money spent to customize it is nothing compared to the price of the other guitars on the comparison.
100% agree. Also, polish the frets and take it to a guitar shop and have them set the action. Possibly replace the tuners, too. After all of that you've still spent less than $1200. @godsmackssa
It has to say Gibson on the headstock for me so I purchase inexpensive SG's and modify them to my tastes for $500-$800 because it would cost me $9,000.00 to have Gibson do it.
if you can't figure out how to set the action on an electric guitar you shouldn't be allowed to drive a car or use a toaster@@jamesf.ryaniii7918
in short, if u bought the $1200 - 9000 you simply bought a whole band.
3200 is suitable for professional but 9000 for Slash
So the $330 one comes only in black&white but the $9000 is coloerful!!! Got it!!!
Those colors are definitely worth the $8670 extra dollars
I can feel the difference, amazing the abyss between 330 and 1200
As others pointed out, though, it's the only one played in isolation and not as part of a mix. Not a true comparison. That said, the $1200 version does seem to sound better.
I feel the intonation on the first one was off. Not exactly something that is hard to fix
@@FalseNomenno the 1200 is louder. Simple as that. Nobody caught that 😂
@@TheDevignthe 1.2k one has a lot more high frequencies which I think are too much anyway but also is something i could easily fix with an eq pedal

GAS
To my ear, the Gibson USA at $1200 sounded far better than the other three. Clearer and more articulate. It’s actually $1750 here in Canada.
You know they would all sound almost perfect if you had a reverb pedal. You wouldn’t tell the difference
Guitar snobs will say the more expensive. The better the tone. In which 99.9% of people won't be able to hear. The parts of the guitar will be better quality. The higher the price. But that's about it.
