Which guitar did you think sounded the best?

[AAA-uylx]

It doesn’t matter which one you buy, sooner or later you’ll be wanting the other one.

[gaven]

my brain say fender Stratocaster
my heart say Gibson Les Paul
my wallet say epiphone
😭

[cybrgy]

I own both a Les Paul and a Strat and both are amazing instruments. Apparently owning a great guitar did not solve my biggest problem. I need to learn how to play better. :) I could listen to this guy forever.

[peteseeger]

My mind says: Strat
My heart says: Les Paul
My wife says: dream on

[valun]

I don't know what I'm doing here I play bass

[arteagaboyzzz]

Nobody's gonna give him any credit for how well he plays? Come on...that stat solo was awesome

[TheElectricBuddha]

To my ear, the Strat sounds cleaner and more defined, but the Les Paul sounds warmer and fuller.

[UrbanMonkey]

Honestly, whatever guitar it is, I just want to be able to play like this dude.

[martynjames]

I solved this problem ages ago. I have both.

[KRNIC]

The best decision is obviously pulling a Brian May and building your own guitar

[NyxeeLindo]

My mind says "Gibder Stratopaul"

But my heart says "Fenson Lescaster"

😔

[MarduksonofEa]

I was torn between a Strat and Les Paul. After watching your video I finally decided to buy both.

[jonahguitarguy]

I think more than anything you proved it's not the guitar it's the player, and you sir made all these guitars sound amazing. Plus the editing from one guitar to another with no break in the sound, hats off very well done.

Me: Hmmm... Which one of these bad boys should I get?

[merritt]

I've always been more of a fan of the Les Paul design just simply from a looks standpoint. And I'm also more of a fan of playing more doom metal, down-tuned songs, so the Les Paul is generally has a slightly more preferred sound for that style. Though obviously kind of negligible since you can obviously still get a pretty similar sound with a Strat, especially with additional effects. That Les Paul design just never gets old lmao.

Great playing... easy decision. I'll have one of each.

[masonhoward]

Your dad sounds like a great dad. What a boss move of him.

[TheFrontyer]

A Les Paul is a lot like an old american muscle car. It might not be the most practical guitar, it might not have too many uses, but nothing beats the feeling, sound and look of it. But you need to be the type of guy to use it.
