To me, they all sound like Jeff! He picks great guitars, and then adds great mods, but beyond that his tactile response is really the dominant factor. A fair question then is do the slight signal difference really matter much? In my view, what he brings to the guitars is the biggest factor in achieving "his" tone. He is one of the best, so he brings his best to each guitar. (I also believe that the difference in guitar tone is much more evident in the brain of the player than in the brain of the non-player listening in, even to a trained ear. There is mental/emotional factor that kicks in with each guitar. You see that clearly when Jeff plays his strat. More emotive- the connection formed with the strat draws out his best playing technique. Fascinating video.

I don’t know what it is but the PRS sound never grabs my ear. It’s a shame because I love their approach to making guitars.

I was, after 25 years of playing for fun, an intermediate player. Only this past year have I been jamming to backing tracks and got a g-dec from fender and a looper pedal. My gains have been exponential.

I've been learning sooo much from you, you're super inspiring! Thank you for your precious works!

[glennmartin]

Hi Earl, this is one of the best guitar channels on you tube, Your expierience, knowledge and teaching are invaluable. A stream on Stratocaster pick-ups would be great. Your such a great player. Thank you

Super fun video, Jeff! I definitely call the Les Paul “home”, though more and more I find myself blissing out with my PRS McCarty 594. I enjoy Strats thoroughly, but, largely they make me appreciate the PRS guitars even more.

Fantastically tasteful playing from around 17:53 Jeff, touch, timing and dynamics gorgeous, waaay up there with the best of the best and still Jeff.

I’m catching up on your channel Jeff. I found it very interesting that the Les Paul sounded better (to me) than the PRS, but you were fighting the LP, and it didn’t want to balance in your lap, while the PRS looked like a cakewalk in comparison.

That is a GREAT sounding Strat....even the bridge pickup!

Can u start giving jump times in the description? Something akin to what That Pedal Show does in their descriptions @the bottom of their descriptions would be really cool. Also I skipped through as many times as I could but could not find anything about a Tele.

[agriff]

Yes, back when Larry Dimarzio invented the Super Distortion pickups, all we had were fuzzes, non master volume Marshalls, or if you could wait a year or longer you could get a Boogie(Mark 1).

0:34:00 Love what that 0.1uF ceramic cap does to the bridge pickup (assuming it's still the original part).

[therangersinger]

I visit this channel when I'm getting low on tone. All it takes is about 5 seconds of listening and my tone tank is overflowing again.

[georgeshepherd]

Thank you! Liking! Is the 494 a teeny bit shorter than the LP? Like, 1/8 unch?

[goswo]

I started to smile when you started playing your LP. Guess thats a sign - for me at least :-)

[bensavage]

I always hear "a PRS can never sound like a Gibson." I have one that I've gutted and put in typical Gibson 50s wiring and Gibson pickups...it's sounds like a Gibson. Yet, it plays much more ergonomically like the PRS. Best of both worlds.

PRS pickups very much have their own thing going on.

[GraniteSoundtrack]

Wow thanks Jeff! I wish I could tune in live and ask questions, but New York and Tokyo are in two time zones that make it hard.

[johnmirabile]

OUT OF THE PRS, STRAT, AND LP! THE STRAT WINS! AND IM A LP GUY! BUT THEN AGAIN U PUT SOME ENGLISH ON THE STRAT WHEN YOU PLAYED IT! AND IT IS A 64'....JUST PUT TYSON TONE PRECIOS AND GRACE IN MY LP AMAZING PICKUPS! LOW OUTPUT, BELL LIKE, CLEA! BEAUTIFUL!

[MrDavemiley]

I used my second Vertex Boost to Match my Strat with my EPi Les Paul.

[LetzBeaFranque]

They all sound great! Just different flavors. Also, how many guitars do you need? n+1.
