I own both epi and gibson. I love both brands but in this video, by any stretch, Gibson sounds more authentic. Thanks for the detailed comparison. And great playing.
I realize it's unrealistic, but I'd be interested to see how some of these comparisons might change if the pickups were swapped out -- like both of these models using the Gibson's pickups. Most of the difference I hear is in note clarity/definition, and it seems like that has been less obvious when you've done the higher-end Epis vs. the "starter" models. Then again, if you played only the Epi I wouldn't feel like I was hearing anything "wrong," so once again, great playing!
Yeah. My soldering skills aren’t the greatest haha! The pickups would certainly make a difference in the Epiphone. Most wouldn’t really hear much difference… but body and neck materials along with bridge placement in relation to the bridge would certainly affect the tone. Feel would still be a HUGE factor still.

Epiphone typically sound good (enough). There's nothing wrong with a good Epiphone. The biggest difference is the way they feel. I've owned several Epiphones since their renaissance. Every single time it just made me want the Gibson.And every single time I've taken the Epiphone back to the store and bought the Gibson.
@@Crypticmaskguitartotally, we sometimes bypass how some necks feel like "custom made for my own hands" while some others are just uncomfortable (even if they feel amazing for "everybody else")
I’ve seen bands rip hard on an Epi Les Paul Special II, so I’m starting to believe less about shit build quality and tone on imports. And IMO the best Gibsons were the faded specials cause those thin finishes felt the best.

Epiphone wins the clean tone but if you use effects Gibson's kills it hands down
