I would definitely agree with the person saying you don't need to spend big bucks to sound great. I think it's important to get something that a. stays in tune b. is comfortable to play for a long period of time (all day) and c. sounds they way you want it to sound.
@blazvignater yeah I know what you mean, but it's easy to set up and mod those guitars to get them to a higher standard, I now own a Bonamassa Epiphone Les Paul and its simply the best guitar I own and IMHO better than a standard Gibson. There's a couple of bids of it on my profile if you want to check them out!!
@royalknight2 It's not the adjective I would've used to describe it. A superstrat would be described as versatile, or just a strat with a bridge humbucker (taking all the knobs into account). A Les Paul sounds ultra-nice, and is versatile, of course, but just simply not the most fitting word for it.
What's the point of all this shit going on here? Why is it always Epiphone vs. Gibson on youtube? It's a retarded argument. Epiphone and Gibson are not competing. You buy an Epi, Gibby makes money, and vice-versa. Epiphone are great guitars for the money. Some would argue that the only real difference is the brand name. That's not true, but certainly the quality difference does not justify the price difference. Epis are great guitars that you can play and not care if something happens to them.
I think we should just accept that @MasterxMorgan over generalises people who play certain guitars and is a gear snob. We can't change his views nor his taste, so let's just get on with our lives.
@stefanhaukguitarist - Okay?... I'm a gear snob now? I said this three times, but here goes again. I have Gibsons and PRSs, yes, but I also have Schecters, Ibanezes, and yes, EPIPHONES. So, don't even start.
@MasterxMorgan - Why you pickin on someone for playing an Epiphone? Guitars are all subjective; that is to say - the players personal preference. My cousin makes guitars, they are beautiful builds, using materials he loves to get the effect he's lookin for. Been a guitar tech & player/bassist for 40+ years. Lots of people would kill for them and they don't have Gibson or Fender on the headstock. Watched this guys vids (after a quick search) and he's an AMAZING player. Put your jealous ass aside.
@ThisMusic - Show me where I'm picking on anybody for playing an Epiphone. Right, you can't, because I'm not picking on anybody for playing Epiphones. I'm picking on those who's egos are massively inflated for thinking they're rich for having a Les Paul, but a cheap Epiphone. And jealous? Show me ONE comment where I've made a bad remark on Bonamassa. ONE. Right, you can't, because I haven't. Learn to read.

Also, balls? Ha! This is the internet, broski. You don't need balls on here.
@MasterxMorgan I'm not one say I'm great to anyone, but I think it's great you can afford to play nice guitars, but understand not everyone is in that position. I chose to buy an Epiphone because it sounds good and plays well, the audience don't care what brand your guitar is all they want to hear is it being played well.
@stefanhaukguitarist - Thanks man, nothing wrong with Epiphone or those who buy them. Actually, I own one; an Indonesian-made Standard. Something IS wrong, however, with most of the people on YouTube. Alot of YouTubers play their Epiphones with large-ass egos. Usually Epiphone players, not so much on others. A YouTuber going by the name of EPI6fingers speaks for the arrogant players.
Thanks for the not-heated reply. Enjoy your playing.
This is almost a replica of the video where eric clapton, in his cream days, is talking about his tone and style of playing in the Royal Abert Hall Farwell Concert 1968 DVD
@MasterxMorgan sorry mate I'm 16 years old and wouldn't dream of affording a Gibson, so I've saved my pennies and have just bought an Epiphone Joe Bonamassa which is the closest in specs to his Gibson signature. We can't all be connoisseurs, but I spend more time playing my guitar and trying to improve than worrying about the fucking sticker that's on my headstock!!!
@stefanhaukguitarist - That's fine, as long as you don't swear on your nieces and nephews that you're such hot shit playing on a cheap Epiphone. Guess what? I play on Gibsons, Schecters, Ibanezes, and Indonesian-made Epiphones; so you better hold your whores. Hehe.
@stefanhaukguitarist same here! all the specs on the epiphone are the same except the bridge! and the pickups are slightly different. but epiphone makes a perfectly great guitar. the name on the headstock doesnt mean anything at all! a nice guitar is a nice guitar!
@stefanhaukguitarist Damn straight. A low end guitar in the hands of someone who practices will sound a million times better than a Les Paul Custom played by a talentless, fronting loser who has more cash than sense. I guarantee that if you gave Joe your Epi it would sound damn near identical to the LP he's playing in the video.
@stefanhaukguitarist I play a freakin squier so yeah all you elitist "tone gurus" can suck it im an average at best player who cant even read tab. I JUST LOVE TO PLAY.
@stefanhaukguitarist Right. Don't buy into all the bullshit. Hendrix learned on very cheap guitars. You don't even have to have an amp to get better at working picking, fretting, chords, etc. That is where your talent expresses itself.
@infinterhombus your right one of the best guitars I ever played "not sound wise but playability" was a 200$ ESP explorer looking thing, man that guitar action was vary nice. And if someone don't like the sound change the pickups lol
@ChrisTheRipper47 Bad balance, one of Gibsons least ergonomic guitar to most, the neck breaks extremely easily, reaallly heavy, overpriced... I could go on. Ed Roman pretty much covers most of it. By the way I LOVE the Les Paul but there are bad thinks about it so please don't anybody get offended. :)
The bitching about the balance is about personal preference.
The bitching about the weight is resolved with chambering.
The bitching about the price is people to fucking cheap to afford one, so they buy an Epiphone and justify it by saying "it's a Gibson." No, they're to poor to afford better, real deal. Epiphone doesn't come close.
@MasterxMorgan Let me rephrase that then; "You are sadly fucking mistaken if you think that the price of a guitar has anything to do with how good it plays, with how good it feels or how good it sounds".
@MasterxMorgan it means having a flash guitar doesn't make you any good, only wealthy. (or stupid, if you buy it on credit) "if he acts too hip, you know he can't play shit."
@fenderkid6 - I know that. People think when I said "as long as you don't swear on your nieces and nephews that you're such hot shit playing on a cheap Epiphone" I'm picking on good players picking on Epiphones. That's not the case; I'm picking on those poor kids (who THINK they're rich) foe having a Les Paul, but an Epiphone. Basically, a reality check. They need to know that, yes, you (not you, directly) have an Les Paul, but it's an Epiphone. Stop thinking you're rich.
@MasterxMorgan boy oh boy mr. you sure know your stuff :) I should probably throw out the hand me down my grandpa bought it 1962 . My dad handed down to me.
It doesn't look like the one in the video ,the name on the top part say fender. It's probably a piece of junk. just like the case it an ugly tan cloth weave and has a fender on it. I hope the trash man takes it , thanks for the help mr.
Any player should play different guitars and find one you like. Looks are nice, but sound is more important. Les Pauls and Gibsons sound really good. So do other brands. Solid body is one superior feature about electric guitars for sustain.
Each guitar has its own sound. It takes a good ear to pick out a great guitar. Craftsmanship is important, but it comes down to the sound coming out of it. Some high priced guitars sound like crud, while some cheaper guitars sound wonderful.
@MrBoringolddude how the fuck is dubstep "real music," let alone "music"? a stupid fuck with some software can make a dubstep. and if u think guitars suck, why the fuck are u watching this video?
Guitars are just a matter of opinion... One isn't better than the other.. Its just what you like... There's a difference in the way their made but... yeah...
Turn the tone knob to 3..same sound. Turn the tone knob to 10..same sound. Change p/u's and tone knob again..same..damn..sound. Great player,not a versatile guitar though. F E N D E R.
To MasterxMorgan: You must really be an A-hole. I have an opinion and you don't have to agree, but if you have to use profane language to do it, go on the Jerry Springer Show, you piece of white trash.
To MasterxMorgan: You must really be an A-hole. I have an opinion and you don't have to agree, but if you have to use profane language to do it, go on the Jerry Springer Show, you piece of white trash.
I don´t discuss the fact that the strat is the most versatile guitar on earth. But have you ever played a les paul with p90´s? and I don´t gree... u can do a million things with only the 4 knobs of a les paul.... that´s the reason is the most iconic guitar.... and the strat of course
Joe, love your playing, but the difference in tone when you have the tone on 3 versus when it's on 8 or 9 is pretty tough to hear when you're running the signal through that big ol' effects board. Can you go straight into the amp and forgo all the delay please? I'd love to hear the tone of the guitar itself.
like i said : i miss in his style the feelings, he talks about 'PETER GREEN', please listen to 'GREENS' albums !!! (... but give me a bit of 'JOES' speed...) , LES
Les Paul is my all time favourite guitar. I've had many copies over the years. All very good. My penultimate copy, which I still own and love is an Epiphone Les Paul Custom in silverburst. FInally I bought myself a 2011 Les Paul Traditional in Desert Burst and it's amazing. :) Check my channel for clips :)
@KotowTV Epiphone are owned by Gibson, Les Paul himself licensed Epiphones to be made overseas to save cost. They contain some Gibson parts and have everything the same, however some materials aren't as good and the electronics inside are more reliable in Gibsons made in the USA. For me, Epiphone are great Les Pauls, they definitely have that thick beefy sound, but Gibsons are just more soild, better at staying tune and sound that little bit thicker in my opinion.
What's a bit of an eye opener for me is hearing guys like Joe and Warren Haynes talk about how they use their volume knob; a bit of an aha moment for me when I realized that the pros don't use the volume knob as much for boosting their solos as they use it more for a gain control knob, to control tone and such. The extra volume on stage more of a bonus and and afterthought. This is different then most gigging club guys I know who use the volume control for, uh, volume control. Very cool.
The tone and volume control tricks he shows here will only work well with 500K volume and tone pots. All new Gibson USA Les Paul Standards are built with 300K volume pots and 250K tone pots, so it will not have the same effect.
I agree that starts are more versatile, and also more subtle. Their design appeals to me more than the Les Paul which I honestly don't like. But I have to say that humbuckers deliver a whole lot more kick than single coils. Despite the fact that I prefer the strat, I have to say that Les Pauls are the ideal rock guitars.
@regelemihai yeah exactly, that was my point 'they only sound good overdriven' i think clean tones on a Les Paul are........dull. if you want clean= Strat. If you want Crunch= Les Paul.
@regelemihai i take it you're American? in England where i'm at they're about £2100 so that sounds about the same, i love 335s. i just can't afford one!
@regelemihai Maybe we should write to Joe and ask him to donate us a couple cast off Les Pauls, tell him we'll pay him 100 dollars a month instalments lol
The different tones would come through a lot more clearly if he was playing straight through to his amp instead of drenching the sound in reverb and delay. It sounds great, but the differences he's showing are hardly noticeable.
I would definitely agree with the person saying you don't need to spend big bucks to sound great. I think it's important to get something that a. stays in tune b. is comfortable to play for a long period of time (all day) and c. sounds they way you want it to sound.

I play both
Strat and LP
Players don't give a rats about the rivalry, it's just the kids that think so small.
Players play both. Let me tell you what a Strat can't do.....just listen to this. A Strat can't do that.
Also have a listen to Snowy White dueling with that fender player on Roger Waters The Wall show.
The FAT Soaring sustaining ballsy sound is the GT. HAHHAH you're a tool!

I don´t discuss the fact that the strat is the most versatile guitar on earth. But have you ever played a les paul with p90´s? and I don´t gree... u can do a million things with only the 4 knobs of a les paul.... that´s the reason is the most iconic guitar.... and the strat of course

Joe, love your playing, but the difference in tone when you have the tone on 3 versus when it's on 8 or 9 is pretty tough to hear when you're running the signal through that big ol' effects board. Can you go straight into the amp and forgo all the delay please? I'd love to hear the tone of the guitar itself.

Les Paul is my all time favourite guitar. I've had many copies over the years. All very good. My penultimate copy, which I still own and love is an Epiphone Les Paul Custom in silverburst. FInally I bought myself a 2011 Les Paul Traditional in Desert Burst and it's amazing. :) Check my channel for clips :)
KotowTV 7 months ago
@KotowTV Epiphone are owned by Gibson, Les Paul himself licensed Epiphones to be made overseas to save cost. They contain some Gibson parts and have everything the same, however some materials aren't as good and the electronics inside are more reliable in Gibsons made in the USA. For me, Epiphone are great Les Pauls, they definitely have that thick beefy sound, but Gibsons are just more soild, better at staying tune and sound that little bit thicker in my opinion.

What's a bit of an eye opener for me is hearing guys like Joe and Warren Haynes talk about how they use their volume knob; a bit of an aha moment for me when I realized that the pros don't use the volume knob as much for boosting their solos as they use it more for a gain control knob, to control tone and such. The extra volume on stage more of a bonus and and afterthought. This is different then most gigging club guys I know who use the volume control for, uh, volume control. Very cool.

The tone and volume control tricks he shows here will only work well with 500K volume and tone pots. All new Gibson USA Les Paul Standards are built with 300K volume pots and 250K tone pots, so it will not have the same effect.

I love Les pauls, and Joe, but I think the fender strat is more versatile. What do you all think?! I think humbuckers only sound good overdriven.
insomniac5150 11 months ago
@insomniac5150
I agree that starts are more versatile, and also more subtle. Their design appeals to me more than the Les Paul which I honestly don't like. But I have to say that humbuckers deliver a whole lot more kick than single coils. Despite the fact that I prefer the strat, I have to say that Les Pauls are the ideal rock guitars.
regelemihai 11 months ago
@regelemihai yeah exactly, that was my point 'they only sound good overdriven' i think clean tones on a Les Paul are........dull. if you want clean= Strat. If you want Crunch= Les Paul.

Exactly right. I'd settle for either one, frankly, if I had even half of the money required to purachase one :-P

The different tones would come through a lot more clearly if he was playing straight through to his amp instead of drenching the sound in reverb and delay. It sounds great, but the differences he's showing are hardly noticeable.
