No stupid intro?
No sponsor?
No talking half of the video?
NICE!

[ali_s]

One of the few guys on YouTube who actually knows how to do gear demos - no talking, no bull

This is how AB comparison videos should be crafted. The perfect editings make it so much easier to hear the differences, even with standard phone speakers. Brilliant job!

The les paul has a slightly more full tone and the tele has more top end. They don't sound massively different though. Explains why led zeppelin 1 fooled everyone into thinking it was a Lp!

[TheOfficialCaseMade]

Ten years ago I hated single coils, but damn there is nothing like a Telecaster. I love my Les Paul, but the Telecaster is the best electric guitar ever made.

[goozrat]

The Les Paul sounds more darker and fuller on everything

[FraggingRights]

I really appreciate this video. I'm surprised how hard it is to find more videos with the sounds edited like this. Makes for a much better comparison.

[NamNguyen-hlxz]

This is one of the best comparison video Ive ever seen! playing each one for a measure and then switching back and forth its so much better to hear the differences!

[gilltim]

This is the best side by side comparison of anything I've ever seen (or heard). Nice job!

[shotgundorothy]

Tele has better clean imo. Les Paul wins distortion

[jrbowen]

Best comparison video I’ve ever seen between two iconic guitars. No joke! It confirms what I’ve known all along. I need both!

[PureMagicStudios]

Tele and LP is the best combo you can have in a band, they are meant for each other. I own both a CS Nocaster and a R7. They are like brothers. The Tele got the clean and clear, the LP got that meaty and full tone. That combo is just epic!

[AndyPearson]

An absolute masterclass in comparison videos 👍 thank you for putting this together.

[yessitsme]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent and varied tones!

[andiploi]

very good comparison, no talking, just playing, easy to follow and easy to see the difference. good job.

[michaelzschoche]

Favorite part was both together. They really do sound great together. Both are amazing guitars, they just have different applications, but you could use either for anything. There’s no rules in Rock N Roll. Do what you think sounds best and dare to be different. I don’t want to live in a world where you have to have this for that and vice versa. Break the rules of the norm, and make some great music. After all that’s how some of the biggest guitar players got that big by being different and using different equipment in different ways etc, and by making music outside the norm of that current time.

Love the way you switched between the tele and lp for each segment. Its like the tele and lp accepted each other's differences and were singing the same song together... Really cool and heartwarming.

[AkiraSpectrum]

great comparison video! loved it, especially your showcasing a variety of tones.

[chucklakeridge]

Great tone all around. Impressed by the quality of the recording. Sounds pro studio quality, particularly evident on the cleans. Great job!
