- Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 versus Gibson Les Paul Standard
-Cabinet: Custom built 4x12 Cab with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.
-2 mics: Shure SM 57 + Shure Beta 58. The main is the sm57 (90%), and the beta gives only a touch of "headroom" to the sound (10%). Sm57 on axis at the side of the speaker cone. The Beta58 right next to it and off axis. I know it's an unconvetional way to use the beta 58 (being a vocal mic) but it gives a little extra to the dry sound of the sm 57. And it makes the sound definately more natural, takes away of the tipical sm 57 character.
-Lexicon Omega Studio desktop recording studio (does a pretty great job)
-Macbook pro: Garageband for sound; iMovie for the rest. No effects, EQ, mastering.
Intro and outro song: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken
Enjoy it!
rock on
Who still here in 2020?. Lol🎉
Great playing as usual. I enjoy that unlike many other guitar videos, yours contain actual playing instead of endless dialogue!
Fab Video, thanks for taking the time to record this. I always wondered what the difference in sound was.
Beautiful review! I'm happy you finally did another video, keep them coming!
Big Respect from Wyatt Crow, man. Great playing, very precise and with no mistakes, glad to hear this kind of review\comparison. I've seen all your vids, keep'em coming.
You much better then usual youtube reviewer, like in this vid i've post as video response!
Thanks for quality work!
You guys should watch the vid again with some good headphones on. There is a difference. The Les paul has more umph to it. The PRS is thiner and more modern sounding. You can hear that especially at the lower gain/clean parts.
that's how a comparison video should be done! good stuff
This is a truly great demo.
Excellent comparison!
awesome tone dude, and playing too!
good job man! love listining to that!
Wow! You've evolved nicely :)
Kudos dude, awesome playing and I really like the comparison. I have to say that I like having both a Les Paul and a PRS, as they feel and play quite differently ;) Cheers! And: please do some more video! :D
awesome playing dude!!!! both are nice and awesome guitars oh and nice amp!!!
That prs is amazing! Great video man.
PINS AND NEEDLES-BILLY TALENT! Nice playing man!
Two different guitars with totally different voices. Both are fantastic and diverse guitars which is the point. I have a 35th Anniversary Custom 24 and 2013 Les Paul Standard and love them both!
I think that the Les Paul and the PRS each have their own distinctive voice. Love 'em both!
Both are great sounding guitars but I LOVE Les Pauls. Good comparison, man. Keep 'em coming!
Nice job, cool video.
@guitarplayer7133 What's the first character of the serial number on the headstock? Normally it showes the year it was built.
Video was very well done.
Awesome video, by the way what is that awesome finish on the prs?
Thanks a lot mate !! :) Keep rocking and do what you can do best. Be the best :P
Great job mate. Great guitars,Great playing,Great comparison. Everything is included.. Just a question mate.. is this a Peavy 6505 you are using and if it is would you suggest it for Rock-Metal and some descent clean tones ? i would like to use it for some lead solos :P Cheers you are amazing ! :)
Now THAT is how you compare guitars. Brilliant work man!
Great video man! i've watched all ur vids and i must say you are one hell of a great guitarist! Superb skills and techniques! I owned a PRS Tremonti SE and it's a great guitar. but i'm definitely saving up for a Custom 24 next! but i won't say no to a Les Paul either! haha!
that was awesome hearing Billy Talent. Great review as well.
@falden82
where is your mesa boogie rectifier?
nice video! keep em coming:D
damn, they both sound awesome! Cleans are nice as well. What gauge strings and tuning are you using?
Great Video!
I like Your playing and You have awesome gear! The sound at 6:20 is so nice.
I love your guitars man. I'm about to order a new LP Standard and saw your vid right now. I'm begining to think I'm making a mistake . The thing is I'm from Mexico and down here there are no guitar centers to try these out. I'm also having doubts since I've read bad stuff about quality control by Gibson, and the durability of their necks. I love Gibson's fat tone, but I'm having these second thoughts. What would your advice be? I play rock mainly. Thank you!
Great comparison. No effects, same licks. Thanks
So many people play different licks on the two guitars they are comparing I wonder if they are mental.
Great Demo!! So which do you prefer?
Did not expect to hear Billy Talent here. Awesome job!!!
Wow! Great video man! Both guitars are awesome. But... there is no other guitar that can compare to the power and sound of a a Gibson. Tone and playability are a hallmark of the Les Paul!
7:13 Great job playing Curses :D Thanks mate.
Thanks a lot for your answer!The neck of Prs has a standard profile or is wide thin?;)This video changed my mind about my next purchase...Gibson is the guitar!!!Anyway I should find a store to make a try!Last question at 5:14 what song you play!?really nice playing and wonderful riff!Gratz man!
At the time of this video how long had you been playing? This is the ideal level I would like to be :) Really enjoyed watching this
What's the song at 8:15? Great comparison and great demo!
Really nice comparison and really good playing!Nice guitars too!What about the playability!?Which one is easier to play!?Thanks dude!! good job!!
I love your videos, so in depth and great sound quality for all of them and i love how you know how to dial in a tone..
I love gibson and PRS but i think the prs had a more versatile sound, they sounded similar in the distorted parts. the gibson had a nice growl to it which i love but i think the prs would cut through more in the mix and the cleans were much more alive sounding than the les pauls
Great comparison, after watching / listening I know for sure I like the LP sound better. Thanks.
What song starts at 12:25 ?
Is it harder to shred on a prs or even play in general ??
I herd someone say it is
Well, it's what i expected. The les paul just sounds heavier and deeper, logical since there's more wood on that guitar. It has a thicker body and neck and no trem. The les paul is much better suited for that scooped sound you have there.
I prefer the clarity and growl/crunch of the PRS myself though. Les pauls can get fuzzy with gain, while PRS stay crisp clear.
LOL
you are one of the gods of sound!!
the best les paul vs prs on youtube. thank you
great comparison,well done ;)
two guitars,two different sounds....but both awesome!!!!!I have a PRS and play with a friend of mine who have a LP Traditional....great sounds!!!!!! :D
you have really good tone and play really way and im surprised garage band sounds that good nice job dude your amazing
SAUGEIL MAN! =)
Wie immer Hammer Videos von dir!! Hast du zufällig ne Songlist vom Video? Wüsste gern welche Songs du teilweise spielst
\m/
Nice comparison! I've been debating getting a PRS for a while now, and I think your video helped me make a decision. Whenever you decide to get another guitar, you should take a look at the USA Custom Shop Schecters. I know they're a bit pricey, but made to perfection. But between your solid skill level and the high quality rig you already own, I think it would be worth it. Rock on, brother!
@falden82 got a couple of questions for you man. Which guitar did you prefer out of the both, and what made you use the Peavey instead of the Mesa Rec. here
Both are awesome
Hi man! Very nice and tasty played. Great work!
What is it played at 7:32 and at 12:07?
That les paul sounds absolutely SICK!!!
Thanks man, it is an awesome les paul. I had to sell it though coz it weighed a ton. Literally. Over 5kg (11pounds)... It’s one of those perfect studio guitars you never wanna use on stage. Haha
Hate to say it but the gibson wins for me.
This was a great comparison of the two guitars. There are some places where I prefer the tone of the LP to that of the PRS, but overall I prefer the tones of the PRS. Great playing all around and props for using such a fine amplifier :-) (I have the 6505+ and a USA PRS Tremonti Sig).
hi dude great demo indeed ,,,, iwant to know if you play hard rock and metal style what guitar will you prefer prs custom 24 2011 or a gibson les paul standard 2011 , i can spend 2600 bucks in my pocket
You should post the songs (or tabs if you're improvising) of the songs you're playing. I think you're playing nice. Is it possible to get this one in 1080i/720i? (for better audio quality)... Keep up the good work! I like you're style!
i love both of those and sound wise from having played both they are very close, same with how the neck feels. which neck do you prefer the feel of?
@B4MyVALLENTINE Danke Dir! Songlist hab ich leider net. Ich bin einfach zu faul... haha! Welches Lied (bzw. welche Lieder) interessieren dich?
Nice video! I was wondering does your PRS also have high amounts of electronic noise whenever you don't touch any of the metal parts compared to other guitars?
Hey bro, what did you do with the recto???, keep on rocking....
EXCELLENT! It basically comes down too personal preference by tone. The resonance of the PRS and the quality of the build has made up my mind...but to have a Gibson in my little collection is tempting. Thx Mr. Barocsi.
hey man in 3":20 what you playing?
any way i was in the campgain betwin prs custom toles paul custom in the end i go on the les paul but that video help me alot
Im thinking of getting a 6505+. Im thinking about the combo version. Is the combo enough for at home? I mean, the head+cab are great but i think its to much for in house. Is the combo getting the same sound as you get with head+cab?
Love the Trivium poster \m/
Thank you!
this video proves two things: 1. the amp is like 70% of the sound, and 2. nothing beats a les paul in a clean sound, both pickups on
Could somebody tell me what that riff at 6.30 is please. Think i prefer the slightly daker les paul sound. Although these two guitars are two of the best for clarity with overdrive or distortion. For clean and blues i like strats and teles.
Dang, I liked almost all of the songs you were playing. What songs are at 7:57 and 9:10 ? scrolled through the youtube comments but could find the names for those
Very nicely done... great contrast. Seems like what the PRS doesn't quite "nail" the Les Paul tone - say 95/100 - it more than makes up for, in your hands, with split coil versatility. More sparkle, with a bit of an edge. Good job!
Thxx man , LP wins , deeper, rich , warmer
...also keep in mind, there are dozens of sounds available by manipulating the Volume and Tone controls on the PRS - it took me a few years to discover. Play around with the Volume at 7 and then at 3, all different pickup settings. And Try the Tone down to 7. Trust me - the guitar was designed with this in mind ;-)
The Les Paul seemed to have a bit, but not much more, low end. Both are fantastic guitars! Props for the playing! I really enjoy your videos.
nice stuff & thanks for making me discover Andy Timmons - Electric Gibsy ;)
is that a Experience 2010? How did you split to single coil? I don't see the switch
That Les Paul sounds so boss!
Nice test.I just did a a/b test with a PRS custom 24 and a Epiphone les paul.But I dont show which guitar I play.
excellent video!!!!! You choose a lot of great riffs and songs!!!
I prefer PRS. And I love the fender sound.
Love the clean gibson sound on every pickup The distortion sound was a little more clear with the PRS... both great guitars!
Les Paul has a warmer tone. PRS is slightly crunchier.
@Overwatch93 Thank's man, I really appreciate it!!!
What are the pickups in Gibson ?
How much did you pay for the custom 24 ?
Nice comparison man !
The comparison between those two models hold there own in any setting. Les Paul is all about quality and character, as is the PRS. You did a smashing job with both and I say job well done!
working on it! :)
i really like the LP. it seemed to have more bite and crunch. nice funk licks at the end!
There are times where the PRS is less aggressive and a bit more warm, especially on some of the cleaner tones, which I like. And then the Gibson cuts really deeply during some of the higher gain songs and smacks me in the face. This is less of a versus video, and more of an argument for using both guitars for different tones and purposes (if you can afford the investment, obviously).
@OfficialDrumsNdSkate - thank you good man. You saved my day, it's trully a fantastic song! :)
It was so hard to find this video. I know I watched it 13 years ago, but UA-cam practically made it impossible to find.
Haha, yeah the yt search engine definitely prefers to show certain results (mostly whatever they wanna show you and not what you wanna find). 😅 It’s funny to watch such an old video now. I mean the video quality is just 💩. Haha! Tone is alright though and that’s what matters. Cheers!
3.00, whats the song?
How do you connect a guitar in Omega?:) Please help..
Hali! A Gibson fején nem kéne lenni a diamond stock-nak? mint ami van az epi meg gibson customokon?
Although I liked the LP for a lot of this, at the 7:00 neck comparison PRS pulls ahead sounding so clean like a piano! Then again, that particular blending of LP tone gives more chorus. What song is this from? It's beautiful.
My vote goes to PRS. Imagine what the world would be like if PRS had been founded in 1903 , Gibson's starting year instead of 1985 when Paul Smith Began PRS Guitars. The PRS has a lot less distortion, better midrange tonality, and doesn't seem to "bottom-Out" in the low end. The LP is a typical high ranger and soars loaded with distortion" and high gain until if hits muddy waters....too bad Gibson strayed from its founding roots using the P-90 pickups that fueled the start of Rock with Chuck Berry's "Johnny Be Good," the classic ´50s P-90 pickup that started the whole historic Rock´n´Roll sound! Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins - you got it! Any Blues? Muddy Waters, the father of the electric Blues, Hubert Sumlin - all these great musicians used guitars loaded with P-90s. The SB52 will give you this strong but clear sounds. This transparent clarity is responsible for that twangy low end. No muddiness here! Nice upper mids presence and no shrill treble - these pickups are really great. Later on some Rock artists, such as Frank Zappa with The Mothers, Allen Wilson (Canned Heat) or the incredible David Gilmour discovered the qualities of these early ´50s Soapbars or Dogears! PRS makes an excellent quality PRS SE 245 with Soap Bar P-90's that kill both of these test guitars....
it would kinda suck if all of rock and roll were one tone though
SnakeRiverFishing No kidding, that's why PRS succeeded, seeing the promise of the young Paul Smith's dedication to improving guitars, Ted McCarty,former president of Gibson and creator of the Explorer, ES-335 and Flying V guitars became Paul Smith's mentor and adviser. The result of their collaboration was the current line of PRS Guitars, which include solid- and hollow-body guitars. The Private Stock line of PRS guitars are made utilizing a vast range of exotic materials including various stones, elaborately figured tone woods, and intricate shells for inlays.Unlike Ted McCarty and Leo Fender, Paul plays the guitar in his own band, The Paul Reed Smith band.
Terrance Hill yeah he learned from ted mcCarty so there would be no prs without gibson
SnakeRiverFishing
PRS has the 513 which is now priced the same as a 2015 Gibson Standard. The 513 has about the same amount of tones as a Gibson Standard and a Strat combined.
flip3213 Definitely Ted McCarthy's influence can be see and heard in the PRS line. "Ted" McCarty he was chosen as vice president of the Gibson Guitar Corporation in 1949, later as president in 1950. He remained president until 1966. This period became known as Gibson's “golden age” of electric guitars. During his tenure, “Les Paul's electric guitar design, the first solid-body guitar produced by Gibson”, came to fruition. The Gibson Les Paul later became the company's flagship solid body. Never satisfied, McCarty sought to create a hybrid design that would combine the sustain of a solid-body electric with the mellow warmth of a hollow-body. The “ES-335” was created as a "semi-hollow", with both a central block running the length of the guitar and hollow wings. McCarty was also responsible for the development of the Tune-o-matic bridge system, the “humbucking pickup”, and the Explorer, Flying V, Moderne,” SG” and Firebird guitars. Like Leo Fender, McCarty never played the guitar. He instead talked with every guitarist he could in order to find out what guitar players were interested in. Paul Reed Smith most valuable lesson from McCarthy was undoubtabley communication with musicians concerning “what they wanted in a guitar.”
What song was that you were playing at around 6:40??
thank you for comparing these two fine instruments equally. the sound quality was very good, and you can hear the comparisons quite well. the les paul is classic, but I gotta go with the prs. great playing as well. you could tell that you tried to strike the strings equally to give even attack between the two guitars. thanx again
Which song ist played at 3:20 ?
Can´t figure it out..
i definatly think the prs is much fuller sounding and just looks plain awesome. I love how you have my dream tone in every vid, dammm you :P
