Guitar Pickups featuring Gibson ES-330's & Epiphone Casino

[RickenVoxster]

Definitely more brightness to me coming from the chrome/metal covered pickups. The 2008 330 sounds fuller and more mellow.

I really like the concept of this video, but in reality, every guitar and pickup has its own unique character... so it's hard to say that a 67 P90 or a 64 P90 sound different on every guitar. I guess that's why we as guitarists love playing every vintage instrument we come in contact with - I would certainly not limit myself!

[Maccadude33]

I actually like the sound of the '08 330, very beautiful, warm tone. The Casino also sounds great. The '67 model seemed a bit bright.

'64 sounds the best (Casino that is). The aged wood is definitely where it's at.

this video is like: Hey guys check out my guitars, you will never touch them or have one of this. ;)

[0123mala]

excellent video btw

[Hereistone]

Why does the first '08 ES-330 sound different from the last guitar, which is another '08 ES-330? Are they the same guitar? I can hear that the old guitars have a better overall balance between neck/bridge positions. Thanks

how can you compare a Casino with Bigsby to a Gibson without one when it's obvious the Bigsbyd guitar will have more sustain...

[oconnaugh]

67 had it for warmth and sustain, but the Casinos are a hell of a guitar for the money. All the Epi hollow body's are.

[PirateChiKick]

67 wins in that test but I'd still go for the casino.

[IamTheStrokes]

casino is the best people...

[scaflan2000]

same sound to me

[xsaver1996]

tell you the truth not much of a differ

[phattshan]

thank god... i think the 67 sounds the best as well.

[jimihd1]

yeah

[pogoleetas]

the casino sounds awesome. how come those old ones sound so good

[bluesbox101]

the 67 definitely sounds the best. the 64 sounds too thin with the bigsby.

[emgcarra]

That´s a hard one....I like them all, but you should play a lot more in any given gig or recording....so the music will tell.

[zeppelin341]

why does the 67 sound so much better than the 64?

[aznxtasy341]

identical if you ask me.. and if you can actually hear a difference, your either a dog, or lying

[mavis41558]

I'm with you - I'm 50 -

playing since I was 10 -

I promise it's not sour grapes, I just can't

tell one $5,000 Gibson from the next.

[emuhunter1]

Haha I dare to disagree... I'm neither lying, nor a dog, and I can actually hear a difference :-)

[myrnaandmaxim]

I agree that the '67 is clear and bright, and warmer, fuller acoustic tone with both pus, and distinctive with the neck pu...'64 is low output, so the volume needs to be turned up...the '08 bridge pu sounds like a 335 and there is not much character when in the middle and neck selection.
