AUDIO TEST Lapstick Travel Guitar vs Gibson 175 Archtop Jazz Guitar

Even though the Lapstick is tiny and marketed as a "travel guitar", Karmar101 thinks it is a legitimate jazz guitar totally on par with a Gibson 175.
To prove his point in this video, he goes back and forth between playing his Lapstick guitar and his Gibson 175.

Great video. Very cool to use standard tuning. What's it like playing with the heavier strings? And did you use standard strings for D-G-B-E?

sorry but this compressed tiny video file throw my speakers really didnt help..., play live with both guitar at a gig and then tell me.

I heard it comes with 11 guage strings? I then assume if it's tuned down they would be super soft? Could you just try and thicker guage and with it tuned down you'd still not be stressing the instrument?

I'd like to get a lapstick but I'd I'm far more likely if I could use a standard tuing. I'm strickly a strummer and just hit basic chords to compose with.
