PRS for the more modern tones, but the Les Paul kills it for that vintage warmth. Between a 4 grand PRS or Gibson it ultimately comes down to opinion. Personally I find it can change day to day.

Good demo very direct. I love the Les Paul sound it's my favorite. (sorry for my English)

Interesting comparison. Gibson sounds more mellow/rich. PRS seems to have more bite. Interested to know which is the easier/ more comfortable to play live?

song at 1:30 ?

prs number 1 because they have so many models as well to compare more so than that

I AM A MUSO AND HAVE TOURED THE WORLD AND OWN BOTH OF THESE GUITARS FOR MANY MANY YEARS. THE BRUTAL TRUTH IS THAT PRS'S HAVE A THINNER SOUND IN GENERAL AND THEIR TONE IS NOT AS ROUNDED. THEY ARE EASIER FOR SHREDDING, AND HAVE A MORE PIERCING TONE, BUT THE SOUND OF A GIBSON GUITAR THORUGH A MARSHALL IS A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN. PRS'S ARE BEAUTIFULLY MADE BUT THE TONE OF A GIBSON IS SOMETHING SCIENCE CANNOT EXPLAIN!!!

I have a Gibson and a prs. The prs is definitely made better in every aspect. The Gibson looks worse plays worse and goes out of tune. Which guitar do I grab first at gigs? The Gibson, it sounds better.

...for the guy who ask. what´s a better purchase, well, Paul Reed Smith offers better quality in the same range prices than Gibson. Gibson are great guitars but if you have 2000-3500 bucks, you will find a better guitar PRS than Gibson. I think PRS is more versatile than Gibson too.

@lennertdentijn I disagree....I LOVE PRS guitars..I think they are much better quality than the gibsons hit or miss quality...But this LP sounds so much better clean here on this video..I guess we just like different clean sounds..I get confused with all the pick ups offered on all of these guitars...I Know that I really like the classic 59 humbucker sound over the p90 sound from past experiences.And I would bet you like the P90 sound better..Interesting..

OVER DRIVEN THEY SOUND TO CLOSE!!!THAT does not matter!!!....Clean that Les Paul SPANKED THE SHIT OUT OF THAT PRS....BUT...PRS has MANY different pick ups and I don't think these are apples to apples...GREAT video!!

Prs, fender, ibanez, music man.

I've owned two world class PRS's and they excel at high gain antics. Other than that....I've loved my Les Paul since day one and they tend to have more depth than the PRS. Heavier wood perhaps.
