Thank you for providing the best response for when your wife asks, "why do you need more than one guitar?" lol
never realized how much i love the telecaster tone until now
The winner is this dude for his exceptional skills, and being the lucky owner of four of the best guitars out there 👏
This video does an excellent form of showing the differences between guitars. Very well done. My favorite is the PRS, a perfect hybrid of Gibson and Fender.
I really loved the PRS! Not just because of the amazing sound, but I love darker colored guitars personally and the birds on the fret board really added something to it!
Yeah the bird inlays are awesome. PRS finishes are so beautiful too. Incredible instruments.
Depends on the song. Different guitars for different parts. Thats why we need one of each 😉
I think I vibe with the les paul the most- the real bite of the tone is what gets me
That was actually one of the best comparisons I’ve seen. I thought they all had their own place. I couldn’t pick one.
Let’s dance was definitely my favourite part wow
Thanks! I had a real fun time putting the instrumentation behind that. The synth bass especially was fun to play.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic it sounds so good! You done an amazing job!!!
They all sound amazing I can’t choose
I hardly ever comment on videos, so many videos doing the same thing. But you mate.... what you did here is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! really good comparison, straight to the point and clean cuts! Exactly what people need to listen to, to make the "right choice" for what they are looking for, very helpful. Thanks for that.
I think every guitar has its own personality and I think each one of them has space. It really depends on the sound you need for a specific song.
Oscar, thanks so much for your kind words. I appreciate it! This video was a blast to film. Hoping to make more like this in the near future. Rock on my friend! 🤘🏻🎸
Watching your videos is really making me consider learning how to play the guitar :)
Okay but I’m so in love with that video I may cry :’) happy new year Lonny we love youuu
Thanks for making my day a lot better. Was kinda having a shitty day, then I heard these beautiful riffs that I'm all too familiar with and it just put a major smile on my face :). I personally love the tones of the Gibson a lot, there is something just so classic about that sound. Though I'm not a guitar expert by any stretch. Really interesting to see the differences in tone though!
Happy the video was able to help cheer you up! So glad you enjoyed it! Yes the Les Paul really does have a nice sound. Each guitar is great in their own way and excel in their own style. It’s so difficult to pick just one haha, that’s why I have four. 😂
PRS by far had the best tone! It was like equally balanced of distortion and a clean sound it just projects so perfectly! I dont have a prs but my dad does and it plays wonderfully. Just wish he had a floyd rose on it and his next prs will have one for sure on it. But if anyone says that you dont need a ton of different guitars we shall show em this video :)
Exactly! I think the true answer is that we need one of each. Especially if you play in different styles.
Agreed. I have a PRS Chris Robertson, PRS core 24, and a CE 24, a Gibson Les Paul, and a fender american standard custom strat. They are all great for different genres, songs, and playing styles. I had a tele and sold it because it sounded thin. Maybe I'll add another tele to my collection but every time I bring one home I don't gravitate towards it...
@@thadlogan51 I have a fender strat a epiphone les Paul and a Randy rhoades Jackson Flying V. My dad has 2 Ibanez’s a les Paul, a prs, a Kramer, a 12 string acoustic, 3 other acoustics (idk what kind), an American made strat, and then another strat that was signed by Sammy Hagar that we just have displayed. I think that’s it. But we plan on adding more to our collection
@@taylormatthews7488 you've got some good ones!
I can't choose, i love all:(
All Guitars Sounds Really Cool Lonny!
I liked this video!
Direct and to the point. Great video.
The les paul sounds so good with it all
Agreed! Very thick sound, great for heavy riffs and classic rock tones.
Please never stop sharing more of your talent
I'm no guitarplayer and I would never have thought the sound is so differences :-) Amazing!
The tone on the PRS sounds so good. Definitely my favourite! The Gibson isn’t to far behind thought! Love the Metallica riff too 🤘🏼
Thanks Victoria! 😊🤘🏻
I want all 4! Thanks. I am looking to buy and may have decidere what to play first before buying. Great video.
I actually don't have a favorite, to me all of them are their unique sound and they are all beautiful in their own way but hey, the hair! The curly vibe has returned!! :D
Just rewatched this they all have there place
Much Love Lonny🖤 Hope You Had. Great New Years🎉
I am in classes right now but I can't wait to see you
I know nothing about guitars but the PRS and the Les Paul were by far my most favorite. Nice playing man
amazing video, and i love that shirt! the pattern is so cool!
Thanks Chels! Glad you like it!
ACCUALLY I JUST LOVE THEM ALL!! I don’t have a favorite!
PRS fits you well 🔥
Mines is the Gibson! Also, you’re one of my favourite bassists and are one of my main influences to make me start bass! So thank you for that Lonny!
Aaaaahhhh, I love this video!!! 😍 It's difficult to choose they all sounds so amazing but I choose PRS, it's just so perfect💯 😁
Have a wonderful weekend Lonny!! 🤘🏻🖤😊
Thanks Tiina! Have a great day!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic
You're very welcome and thank youuuuu!! 😊
Awesome Job!!
Thanks Kamal! 🙏🏻
I liked the wood finished one with the gold. I was just thinking that it would nice if you were going to post a video and you did!
Yeah the Les Paul is a great sounding guitar. Thanks for watching! 🎸😊
Cool! Nice job Lonny. Funny how the Tele sounded 'correct' on Message in a Bottle...cheers!
Thanks Greg! I also loved the Tele for “Life In The Fast Lane” too. That snappy treble sound just works so well in the right context.
Overall, my favorite was the Fender Strat, then comes Tele, PRS, and last Gibson. But all guitars are great.
Well I have to say the PRS one of my other favorite guitarists from one of my other favorite band Skillet he uses many PRS guitars and they are absolutely gorgeous! I also loved the Metallica Enter sandman riffs you played their black album and their ride the lightning album have to be my favorite albums from Metallica so that was awesome! Keep up all the amazing work Lonny! I am going to be getting the last of my videos recorded for my college marching band audition video on Sunday considering the four of us here at home have just all got covid and will be off of quarantine then! So am super excited to be finishing up the audition videos and then I will edit the whole video and send it to you as soon as I have the full audition video! Thank you again Lonny for being willing to take the time out of your day to watch it and give me feedback it means the world to me as obviously you are one of my heroes and my greatest inspirations! Keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait for the next video and for the new Black Veil Brides album to release I am so excited!!!
Thanks Gen! Best of luck with your filming, I can’t wait to see it!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic thanks!
great video Lonny! i think i had a different favourite guitar for each riff but overall i think if i had to pick id go with the les paul or strat!! :)
It’s such a difficult choice! But yeah those would be great selections. You’re right though, it definitely depends on the riff!
Great video!
Thanks Don!! 🤘🏻
Although I know nothing about guitars all the sounds from each model were great! Appreciating your effort :D
Thanks Natalie! Glad you enjoyed the clips.
My favorite is riff 6
"In My Time Of Dying" by Led Zeppelin. So good!
Hi!
I'm new to your channel and I have to say I LOVE it! I have been a BVB Fan for many years. Even though I wouldn't consider myself such a huge fan girl as I was once (mainly because I listen to many different stuff now), Jake Pitts has been, aside from Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold, my main influence to start playing the guitar. I'm really happy I found your UA-cam channel. You're so talented! And your videos are funny 😁 Even though I have only an acoustic guitar, I think I can learn a lot from you.
I'm sending you my best regards from Germany ☺️
And I love the sound of the PRS!
Hi Franzi! Thanks so much for your comment. I’m glad to have you on board the channel and am so happy to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos! More on the way soon. Keep in touch!
#1 Very Bluesy and probably my favorite
#2 Straight Metal more higher pitched
#3 Jazzy also very good lower tones
#4 more Rock/Punk Rock, as far as looks I love your Black one but again, the 1st one with the woodgrain is BEAUTIFUL Overall I think it comes down to the tone of the song your performing. And also the performer! Amazing skills Lonny as always!!
Metallica Enter Sandman!! Lol #3 is my favorite already. Oh, you're talking about the sounds of the guitars. 🤣 I don't know the name of it but the black guitar sounds the best. 🎸
That would be the PRS! But yes Enter Sandman is a great riff no doubt!
Yes I agree
i like tele's steadier tone and PRS' brightness. but i have to say that each one "shines" differently depending on what the song requires, and this is what I find fascinating about guitars.
suggestion: could you make a video comparing string sets? like different materials (i like nickel) and heaviness (i've always played with extra-light sets).
keep rocking, dude!
Agreed! And yeah that’s a great idea for a video. I’ll keep that one in mind, thanks!
Great video. Congrats!! I also have a PRS CE 24. Love this guitar and loved its sound in your video also!!. I also liked the Gibson though I wonder how being a relatively low grade Les Paul (studio) could affect. Probably the classic/standard, with Burstbucker pick ups would do (even) better??
Thank you! Yeah the PRS CE24 is amazing. Super versatile. I might make a coil-split demo for it soon to showcase that side.
And yeah a Les Paul standard might have a larger sound than the studio. That would make for a cool comparison on its own actually, Les Paul standard vs studio. I’ll have to keep that in mind!
Something about your Tele caught my ear. Sounded the best to me
Love how the prs sounds
Great job Lonny!!!🤩 all sound amazing.
El riff 7 es de una canción de los Red hot chili peppers, right? I loved it 🖤
Yes! Riff 7 is “Can’t Stop” by RHCP.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic I love these song!!
Thought you might be interested in an interesting tip to consider. A goldilocks option that I have finally found is the PRS Tremonti Baritone Hybrid setup and tuned to standard with a pickup swap and rewiring for coil tapping. 25.5" scale, maple neck, and wraparound stoptail bridge gives it as much snap as a tele but the mahogany body, set neck, and single cut keeps the body of a typical PRS or LP. I have found this to be the best of all worlds option, for me at least, and negates the want to grab different guitars at times. Medium output pickups are ideal for the partial could tapping (e.g. BKP True Grit, Holy Diver, Polymath).
This was a great and helpful video and so was the PRS coil tap vs tele video too.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check that out!
Dude, I keep going to that Fender Strat every time, I guess I’m a strat guy.
Welldone Lonny I love this video especially Enter Sandman
Thanks Rowan! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I actually can't pick a favorite but geez your skill is just 10/10 ❤
Aw thanks Micah! I had a real fun time putting this video together and playing all these iconic riffs. Thanks for watching!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic first, thank you for responding and second, i absolutely love your videos, I'm so happy every time i get a notification for one
PRS for the versatility no doubt. All sound great though, just different flavours.
Most definitely!
You’re so talented
GREAT VID! i wanna save up and get one of these guitars, currently have an ibanez grgr120ex which i am very happy with, but i eventually want one of these :)
Ibanez make great guitars! But yes the more the better haha. I think it’s important to try have at least one guitar with humbucking pickups, and another with single-coil pickups. That’s where you’ll hear the biggest difference in sound.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic definitley! now i have a reason to be on youtube as 3:41am when i have school tomorrow.
They all sound great.
The Telecaster, to me anyway, has a metallic almost tinny sound maybe because of its pickup types and arrangement? Haven't got one myself but after that demo would like to get one 👍
That les paul sounds so good. Better then the average IMO. All have their place. No one guitar does it all.
I LOVE HOW TELE SOUNDS
To me, tele sounds the best for clean breakup tone, prs for distortion
Uffff!!! Que difícil, juegan en diferentes ligas, la les Paul me ha encantado pero las otras también, creo que depende de lo que vayas a tocar y sobre todo de el gusto personal, gracias muy buena comparativa
That Les Paul sounds so good!
BEST MUSICIAN
I have a fender stratocaster, but I also like a lot the sound of the les paul! 😊🎸🎸
Which guitar was your favorite of the four?
🎸🎸🎸🎸
All of them sound amazing
The second one for Enter Sandman
The Les Paul :D
But yeah it depends on the riff
I love them all❤
Saludos y felicidades porque apenas paso tu cumpleaños ❤😊😘😘
I don't know much about guitars, so I came here to say omg that curly hair...adorable :) You should have it like that more often
Thanks! Maybe I will! 😊🎸
Your Presentation is very interesting.
TALENT
One of the best musicians in the world ✨🖤🤘
Some did better than others in certain songs but overall I'd say the PRS was the best. Nice riffs
Have to say, I love the Tele. Whatever you call it, it has a quacky, tinny sound that I like
Thanks Russ. I especially love the Telecaster for the Eagles riff in this video. 🎸👍🏻
Definitely PRS! 😊
I don't often hear Bowie in guitar demos :)
So good your amazing
So cool
Thanks Emiko! Glad you enjoyed it!
YOU PLAYED LETS DANCE OH MY GOD!!! BOWIE IS SO AMAZING LONNY OMG I LOVE YOU
I'm so supriesed with sound of tele, so so good
Yeah totally. I loved it especially during the Eagles riff. Life In The Fast Lane. So good.
Your rings 😭
Best sounding les Paul ive ever heard!
Thanks Ben! It’s a 2007 Studio Premium Plus.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic It's funny but in the past I've had 2 studios and 2 standards. Massively preferred the studios. They sounded better overall and had more life in them. Both the standards were kinda dead 🤷♂️
I liked them all on most sounds. But PRS is my favorite…….
I love this lonny
I am voting the Vox AC30, Black with the birds
Tele is just so tele, easily recognizable
PRS all the way
Don’t make me choose!
Okay fine. I’m gonna go with the Tele.
And the PRS.
But Tele is first.
I don't play guitar but I think my favourite one is the PRS. Though I can definitely hear the differences between all four of them.
Thanks for checking out the video Azlin! Yeah the PRS does sound awesome. 🤘🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic You're an amazing person and musician Lonny, of course I'll watch your videos 😀
Omg! I really love them all impossible to choose just one! What is your favorite ? Which one do you like the most? 🙋🏾♀️🤔
My favorite is always changing haha. I'll go through a phase of playing primarily one of them for a few months, then I'll switch to another, etc. It really depends on what kind of music I'm into at the time. For example if I'm listening to a lot of John Mayer then I'll reach for the Strat, or if I'm listening to a lot of country then I'll reach for the Telecaster... They're all great in their own way!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic How great !! no matter what you play you will always for me be incredible my ! congratulations once again Lonny! 👏🎸🔥🦅
1 Prs, 2 Tele, 3 LP, 4 the escoba
YOU ARE THE BEST
Hi lonny!!!
All four are great. . . but the winner was definitely the Telecaster. THAT spank. . .
Tele are highly underrated
Agreed! They thrive on clean sounds and edge of breakup. Great for Zeppelin tones in additional to classic country. The solo for Stairway to Heaven was recorded with a Telecaster, so that basically tells you all you need to know haha.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic I love tele sounds ❤️
PRS for sure. But the Gibson was nice too. But if I would have the chance to own one of them I would choose the PRS without even thinking twice about it.
The main flaw of PRS is that there are no flaws. Now I only have a PRS, all Les Pauls were sold because of their large weight, but now I came to the conclusion that PRS is like an excellent student at school, it seems to be a fine fellow, but at the same time it does not have extremes in the form of telecaster glass or the curliness of Les Paul. Somebody tell me with what pickups it is possible to allow the PRS to play diametrically opposite roles at the same time? I don't want to have in the arsenal Les paul + Telecaster instead of one favorite PRS.
Hi. I have a PRS Mccarty 594. Their pickups can split without losing volume and you can get a very close tely sound. In humbucking mode, it's like a Les Paul 59. Try them and won't be disappointed.
I love you Lonny❤
Yo lonny, I'm a big fan.
Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos. Thanks so much for all your support! Cheers!
Actually think the PRS comes out well here, literally halfway between a Strat and LP and very articulate.
How do you know it's gonna be a good video? When the first riff that's played is "Message in a bottle" that's how, haha! All those were good tones and each definitely suits certain styles/ riffs. I'm a have to go with the Les Paul over all. It was a hard choice tho. But all 4 would be good to have in the tool box!
Thanks Dewey! Yeah the Les Paul is a great choice, but agreed that it’s practically impossible to choose haha. Hope you’re well bro!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic doing good, hope you and the Mrs. Are doing great also bro!
I'd say, the PRS for rhythm, and the tele for lead
This video made me realize that a tele kinda sounds like a strat and a banjo had a baby
