Cool blindfold idea: take 3 expensive guitars and set them up poorly, then take 3 cheaper guitars and set them up great and see if the expensive guitars can still be noticeable.

[tgarder]

Man, that Epiphone burst looks and sounds absolutely amazing. But then again, for just 2000 bucks extra you get a slightly thinner layer of lacquer on the neck so it's a tough choice

[jason.h]

I think it's important to note - when the differences are this small in isolation, imagine how small they will be in a mix. Like at the end of the day it's wood and metal - it's a guitar with humbuckers in it - are any of these differences ever gonna be that noticeable in any relevant context beyond a/b testing ? To me they both sounded like *guitars* and what's not to love about that

[ToxinInMyVeins]

This video brings back some nostalgia. :D

[JTMP]

I’m always amazed at how well the Anderton’s crew can play blindfolded.

[timjenkins]

I see chappers, I see blind fold challenge, I click 🤷‍♂️

[disco]

As soon as Gibson gives us a new LP smell cologne, we can have fair and balanced blindfolded challenges.

Hi, Lee and Rob!!! I ABSOLUTELY MISSED YOUR THANK YOU FOR

[thdukeofwybourne]

The thing to remember here is that Rob made his decision on which was which, not by the sound, but the feel of the fret ends, the neck gloss, and the tuners, together with what must be the unmistakable nitro smell.

It’s sometimes presented as ‘can you detect the quality’ when the reality is it’s actually ‘can you detect the known differences in spec that will feel or smell differently’.

Nice to see Rob back and you old palls bonding again, after all it was Rob who started your journey on youtube Captain.

[AllanGildea]

Love to see Chappers and The Captain at their games again. Excellent.

[fritsvanzanten]

I'd love it when Slash himself came to Andertons to meet the Captain and wasn't allowed to play his own lick.

[samright]

Awesome when Rob and the Captain do a video the OGs of reviewing gear on YouTube!!

[Brianemersonpt]

Another Rob and Chappers blindfold video, I’m like a kid on Christmas morning! Thanks guys

[psymon]

Recently tried out the Adam Jones Epiphone non-art Les Paul (£1500) and I loved it. At the same time I tried a Gibson Les Paul Tribute (£1200). The discussion with my mate after went something along the lines that the Gibson was nice but I'd only be buying it because it's a Gibson in my price range. The Epiphone, however, was the type of instrument that felt good and got me excited and I wanted to buy it because of how it felt to play and how it sounded.

Value is what we assign and I'm more likely to spend more if it feels and sounds good as opposed to buy the brand

[judosailor]

The best thing about this was hearing some classic Dorje riffs! So good.

[littlerhodyguitar]

The boys are back!! When these two are together they make the best videos because they are just funny together. ☮️❤️🎸

[ChroniclesOfASadPunk]

I needed a little Captain and Chappers in my day!

[Gorbyrev]

I put Bareknuckle mules on a mate's Epiphone Les Paul. The transformation in tone was extraordinary.

[rustyl.]

I have 11 Les Paul's. 10 are Gibson, one is an Epiphone Custom Les Paul. The fit and finish of the Epiphone is excellent, but I didn't like the tone. So I replaced all the electronics. 50's wiring, no PCB, and nice 3rd party boutique pickups. Now it sounds, generally, as good as my Gibson's. When I take it out certain places, it sounds really good, and if it gets bumped, it's not as bothersome.
