To me, the OME (#5) is easily the nicest tone (at least for slow picking). Then maybe the Osborne (#3). Then the Deering (except for fast picking I think this would be the best). 1 and 2 were not too good IMHO. Anyway, nice video for a comparison.

I like 1 and 4 best. Amazing the low end Deering sounds so good.

[mcseveneyw]

number 1 and 4 are the best

That yates is a monster!! The dannick ring sounds good too.

Nothing between the Gibson and the Prucha / Osborne is very close... Yates is not up there for me / Ome has a beautiful ring... / You have to admire the Deering, it's so close to the yates for a fraction of the price.

Great work, thanks for the video.
