Thanks for supporting me with "MartyMusic!" Which do you prefer? The Strat, or the Les Paul?
Lea paul :D
*les
Marty Music i love the sound of hamburger
*Humbucker
Les Paul, but also the Strat.
The question is which one to buy first cause you know you are going to end up with both
Music-Man very true
Speedy McGee hahaha I hope you find th best les Paul at the best price man!
The truth, but which one is best? When started playing I had an LP. Then after a few years I got a cheap Strat. A few years later I splashed out on an expensive Gibson LP. I sold that got an MIJ Strat. After a further 25 years I ended up with one of each. As of today the Strat is winning, but only until next week. So which one is best ? Only one way to find out: FIGHT!
Only if the Les Paul has single coils, cause humbuckers are the most boring sounding pickups ever.
Wish I had got strat first.
Or just be realistic for a second, "Epiphone vs Squier"
I’d take the sg
Squier or Fender MIM? I think the second is better, and comes at the same price point of epiphone
Both
I bought a used Samick strat from the 90s for about 170€. If I actually learn to play I'll consider something bit more premium but this one seems to hold tune at least very well.
Epiphone
i prefer a gibson stratocaster
you mean a Fender Les Paul..
yeh ...sorry - still not sure if my arse is my elbow either .!!
Fender Strat-LP here......
Or was it Gibson LP-Strat?
you wish
Marty: Plays Sweet Child O mine on a Strat
Me: *CONFUSED SCREAMING*
Mr Dynamite2468 he played voodoo child on a les Paul
And then when he did it on the strat, it felt like home.
Actually 99% of the guitarist already did that lol
Carl brown did it
COD overdrive
Conclusion: Get a good amp
*Successfully plays the C chord*
Me: Hmmm... Which one of these bad boys should I get?
I always go for G D and A
lmao!
Strat has a cleaner and “cooler” sound while the les Paul has a warmer sound with more resonance.
There is no resonance at a solid body instrument that uses magnets to produce signal that is amplified and heard through an amp. It's about sustain.
The strat sounds amazing on the high frequencies but lacks lows and mids.
The LP sounds amazing on lows and mids but lacks the strat's highs.
Totally because of the single coil versus humbuckers
Stefan Edward I don’t know about that, my sg resonates pretty well. I can tell because the body vibrates at loud volumes like a hollow or semi solid
It's an electrical signal has no acoustic sound, the wood or solid body, hollow body are irrelevant.
All your hearing is electrical signal from pick up generated by string vibration.
What part of this don't you understand.
@@luismangiaterra1031 But where does the string vibration come from? What affects (and supports) that vibration? Many parts in the guitar affect it. Same goes for basses. You can literally hear the difference unplugged!! Not just amps or pickups. The raw acoustic sound. It's different. The pickups hear that too.
I am a Fender guy, but the Les Paul is the most beautiful musical instrument ever made
Yeah i have 3 strats and a 1 les paul but in my opinion les paul is one of the most beautiful guitar
@@solarmattrix5028 I agree with this - I have a couple of strats and a pro plus lp, I play my strat way more ... but the lp is a stunner
@@solarmattrix5028
Yes it is, much more expensive than the strat
Gorgeous work of art
Personally I really like how the Stratocaster looks, tbh les paul look ugly but it sounds nice
then you're not a fender guy
Let's be honest, we all saw you enjoy the Les Paul more
it's cause he spent 2k+ on it, it's the face of "you better like it, you paid a shit ton for it"
People look at their epiphones the same way baby
Yup, he is more of a Les Paul person
That strat cost more than the Les Paul I would say. Fender custom shop is not cheap.
Personaly i like the les paul because im not hitting the selector every time i strum
How about I use my own money to buy a Les Paul then ask for a Strat for Christmas?
EDIT: I already got my Les Paul almost a year ago, no need to tell me strat is cheaper. Besides, I was talking about a Les Paul that I found that was about €200.
yes
thats what i did 😂
That’s what I did last year🤣
Smart
Beat the system
This is as pointless as Ford vs Chevy, but still a fun debate!
rhett hewitt Mopar
rhett hewitt no because Chevy is better just like the les Paul
Nah ford is better... just like the les Paul..
Chevy all the way man, just like Messi and Les Paul.
Mohanish Mankar I agree with you, but I am gonna say I prefer Ronaldo 😂
Actually Strat is easier for playing and bending because it has tremolo bridge. Hardtail strats are another story.
The answer is always the same. BOTH
Hey man I've gigged plenty of times with a 2004 American strat and the tremelo on a strat is the only thing that will make your guitar go out of tune, especially after a heavy bendy solo.
Evan Driscoll Thank God for Floyd Roses.
@@darthjarjarbinks8953 fender starts don't come standard with a floyd rose lmao
Evan Driscoll That’s where Squier contemporary strats come in.
For clean tones, I'm gonna go with the strat, but for more distorted stuff, I'm going with the les paul
That Fuzz on the strat is hot
I have a strat I want a Les paul
@@gustavotellez7026 i have an accoustic, i want a strat
I have a ukulele, I want an acoustic
I have nothing I want a ukulele
i have ukulele i want to have nothing
Instructions unclear, got confused and got a flying V
same but explorer
Same but SG
Same but red special
same but drums
Same but air guitar
I prefer the sound and look of the Les Paul
Trabinjin main problem in guitar centers. Oh look it looks cool its probably awesome
Satan gee thanks satan
+Satan I said I prefer the sound AND the look.
I'm not supporting Satan in anyway lol but I've always found Les Pauls to be dull sounding compared to a strat. It's hard to explain but a good strat gives me a more lively, natural sound with using less gain. Could this be just crappy les pauls? I guess so but thats been my experience
Trabinjin
The Les Paul has a slightly fatter, crunchier, harmonically richer, more complex tone. But the Strat's sharper, "coil"-ier tone is singularly epic, too. Great thing is to have both to suit your mood.
@@stevieprice-fx9bi You Just Don't Know Guitar Tones Then 😂
Complex?
@stevie price asshole
that's why the les paul was created with the humbucker so that it has that rock n roll tone that the early strats didn't have with the SC, I bought a les paul because of it.
i have a strat just ordered a les paul😂
I have a Stratocaster and I got it two days ago. My first electric guitar 🎸 And I love it.
howd u do
Can you play it yet?
@@JC-11111 - look at his pic. he gave up week 1, guaranteed
RR plays Gibson
@@admiralgalactic4991 who? And what's that got to do with this guy and his Strat?
3:49 wait that’s illegal
Right? That was fun, but just sooo wrong!
lol
I play it on acoustic what do you mean?
@@aeg0g you what
Depressed Goga get out.
I owe so much to you, Marty...now I have developed and become a shredder, but back in 2011, when I picked up the guitar(and had no clue how to play a single note on the instrument), you were the only person whose videos I used to watch...you taught me the best thing that has happened in my life...I couldn't thank you enough Marty. Thanks a heavy ton!
did you struggle learning? i am a slow learner haha i dont want to give up though. sometimes i feel really stupid when i am learning making easy mistakes sometimes i grow in confidence
mattstazza I was pretty much obsessed with guitar playing, and would spend upto 7 hours practicing. in about 6 months I was able to pull off a decent enough blues solo. from there on, I gradually worked towards more difficult stuff. keep playing dude, forget about the results. in the end, writing good songs is all that matters.
mattstazza never give up keep with it no matter how much it doesn't seemed like you improved you will. this man taught me everything I needed to know to become a decent player
True. I switched from professional jazz bass to guitar recently because I moved to a small town and drummers who will leave their house and play are zip. Bass is bliss with a great drummer. I couldn't even play a 3 chord Willie Nelson country song and let me tell you after playing hot bass solos that was soul destroying. And depressing. Well it just takes coordination which comes with practice so keep at it. Marty goes slow and precise- 95% of the other teachers online-- rush, or talk you to death. I can see why Marty has well-over a million subscribers.
mattstazza dude just watch Marty’s videos. I started with acoustic, specifically with “wish you were here” by Pink Floyd, super easy beginner song and a confidence booster
I like fender more cause im a jimi hendrix and eric clapton fan and i like clean sounds
I love Clapton too. Honestly, some of his best stuff ever was on the Gibson he got from Joe Walsh.
Clapton's best years was in the Cream. Then he played SG most of the time.
Gustav Hägerström but he didnt play les paul in cream.
@@ifaxer31 Just what i said! He played SG and that whas hes best 2 years
Eric played a Gibson for most his career
LES PAUL much fuller sound
Clay Richter dude, I can literally play metal on my strat.
@@nehemiahzo_ single coil ?
Kevin The Cat yep.
Strats have a bassier sound
slayer- ye bridge pickup :/
I have a les paul
And I love it
But really really want
a strat
Cathan Mc Cann I’ll trade you 😂
Should’ve invested in a strat. Les Pauls are too much for what they are.
I have a strat
And I love it
But really really want
a les paul
@@chilloutenvy lol 😂
@@isaacwilliams9919 hahh yeah 😂 😂 😂
i like my guitars/tone like i like my women

so i prefer a les paul
vehlajatt22 thing is i love both. But i saw this comment and fucking died. This is amazing
vehlajatt22 how can a man have a Pepe profile pic bit still use emojis
Lol
vehlajatt22, buy strat and put some 013. Strings on it... THEN YOU WILL HAVE A THICC TONE OOOOOHHHHOHOTOOKGKRKRK
TheDankLord 🔥🔥
Lmao the thumbnail...
The thumbnail tho...
fake happy😂
I really want electric guitar
The cool thing about guitars is that there is no problem with loving them both for different reasons. Unlike car enthusiasts, it's okay for us to say we like a wide variety of guitar shapes.
I always feel that the strat has a cleaner sound anyone agree?
Brock Begley Yeah this is a known fact as the strat uses single coil pick ups (cleaner sound) and les paul uses hambuckers (darker grimmier sound)
Yupp
Brock Begley yes
Brock Begley it does, in a sense.
Clean no, ice pick yes
The strats the one you take home to momma, the LP .....she's the girl that makes you do bad things.
Haha
That description along with just hearing the 2 side by side is making me go for the LP first lol
love that analogy..
I want a Strat that sounds like a Les Paul...
Buy any Jackson guitar. It's superstrat, but it sounds like Les Paul.
@2v_5r still dosent sound the same
May I recommend the fuckin frankenstrat?
I have a heavily modded strat with humbucker in neck and bridge equipped with split coil on each pickups. I can get all kinds of guitar sound
@@ros3m4ries what kind of mods? looking to upgrade mine
Step 1: Walk into Guitar Center.
Step 2: Plug in any guitar into any amp.
Step 3: Set up to the cleanest setting you can.
Step 4: Go 3:47
Step 5: Get thrown out.
Sweet child isn't playd with clean tone
I was expecting some great blues,
You disappointed me :(
guitar covers 307 yes it is idiot it’s placed on the neck pickup which is still a clean sound
i think a better question is humbuckers or single coils
Wounded MONK BOTH! That's where Fender Mustangs come in handy ;)
Play a PRS and have both via coil splitting.
Zeph PRS alongside Chapman Guitars and Charvel have the best coil split sounds I've heard.
Cant stand the buzz. I get enough noise through my ac outlet.
Chris E Yep both all the way. I have the Squier Affinity Strat HSS.
Instructions unclear
Bought a tele
Same here, but I love my tele so much it was worth it!
les paul, no question. Thicker , warm and better sound. strats are good for a clean sound and good feel , that's it. anyone who knows guitars knows this
Obviously the Strat! Very easy choice :)
platoriam not an easy choice at all but still prefer the strat
Marty, please do guitar lesson for Trains by Porcupine Tree!
platoriam I love Stratocasters.
I have a 1995 Fender American Standard Stratocaster and it is an absolutely beautiful guitar. It has a lovely smooth, clear tone and is great for Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix stuff!
Something about a Les Paul that whenever I pick one up, I get a sort of 'feeling.' That 'feeling' is strictly on Les Pauls, and I don't get it when I pick up a strat, however strat's are great instruments as well! Team Les Paul! :)
Cool! Thanks for the comment Nick!
Nick Schroeter im with you les paul all the way
I like them all a lot, but if I had to choose I'd prob choose a strat, I they get me in the mood to rock 🤘
To me the Les Paul looks way cooler than the Strat but that’s personal opinion, I actually like the sound of the ales Paul more as well
Nick Schroeter I agree
Marty should do a Reddit AMA!
I'm up for that Cooper!
do it!
Strat is more comfortable, no question, but for AC/DC, the Les Paul rules. I have one of each, but what I really need are Marty's fingers and more lessons!
For AC/DC, there's the SG
ac/dc is the most generic rock band.. genuinely put me off sg's
Same here.@@sirspongadoodle
Les Paul. It has a richer sound
It has a richer price too lol
@@michaelnatsariym3690 Epiphone's LP's aren't that expensive but yeah if you really want a Gibson your wallet will suffer xD
@@biromancer1766 I've always wanted a les paul but i didn't get the chance to get it because the les paul is like double the price of a stratocaster so i sticked with the strat.. And lemme tell you i fuckin fell in love with the tone with looks and the shape and with the Feel you can make it sound like any other guitars and you can easily upgrade it mine is kinda turning into a super strat From all the modifications I've done
I think that the Les Paul is better. the Stratocaster sounds awsome but the Les Paul had some little bass that change the sound and it sounds amazing. Marty Music I love your channal and your lessons cause you are the best Marty ! keep doing your great job man !
if you like bass turn the bass up on your amp. your welcome.
Tele
Agreed - Tele all the way.
adamkrz59 I've been trying to get a hold of one recently too. Their so smooth
Juan Jimenez I recently bought a Made in Mexico Tele for $450 (it was on sale from $600). Amazing guitar. I love it! I'll never have another main electric. I highly recommend trying one out!
AOB I might just trade in my epiphone lp for a nice tele I saw at guitar center. If they don't screw me over that is
Juan Jimenez You should look around online a bit to see what Teles are going for. Then see what GC has their prices at for them. Again, you should be able to get good bang for your buck with a Mexican Tele. Good luck, bro!
3:53 When you don't know the full riff...
what is the song name
@@simonbartek8836 sweet child o mine
@@simonbartek8836 lol
Fender strat 👌👌
I would prefer the strat but nothing beats that Gibson tone. I prefer the ESP LTD EC-1000 VB (basically a Les Paul shape, with EMG active pickups and black and gold accents)
Carlos Aponte agree. Just picked up that exact ec-1000 VB myself to replace my Gibson les Paul.
Carlos Aponte love the tone of that esp but I hate single cut guitars, i play lead so tons of solos and I usually have my thumb on top of the neck so I only play guitars with two cutaways. my main guitar is the gibson sg
I Wear A Fez Now I can see why you don't like it, but I play rhythm when I actually do play guitar (I play bass first and foremost, a Fender P-Bass) do I don't have that problem
I Wear A Fez Now I´m not here to add something to the debate. I just wanted to tell you, how much I like your Profilepicture and name.
I have a Washburn Parralax, LP styled and great sound with the JB/59 set up. www.maxsguitarstore.com/images/products/large/USM-PXL10QWBM.2518.jpg
I like the look/Shape of the Strat and for the Les Paul I like the sound. Both are amazing guitars though.
Just my opinion don't shoot.
\m/ thats why PRS guitars exist hahahaha. rock on
Instructions unclear:
Standing up with a strap on
I would take the LP over the Strat, but the Tele over either guitar
I say definitely have a Tele, also a Strat and a Les Paul. All three each suit certain songs independently best. Personally I keep examples of them all including Ibanez
GIBSON SG IS THE BEST
EXACTLY, SG MASTER RACE!!!
juan Felipe Devia Beltrán no wammy bar
Sam Towse sexiest guitar ever
juan Felipe Devia Beltrán i do agree its very sexy
They ones I've played seem a bit head heavy... I heard that there's enough room in the electronics chamber to slip in a roll of quarters to improve the balance! Does anyone else find themselves fighting to hold the headstock up?

THE SG
Fuck yeah
SG is the best
Now sg and The tele
Now you're talking
SG? You mean overpriced neck dive?
As a Strat player, I cringed when you played Sweet Child O' Mine on the Strat, Marty. That just wasn't right. Not in terms of notes being wrong, just in terms of the fact that Slash played it on a Les Paul, and it hurt. 😂😂
It was truly horrible!
Alexander Eddy what about voodoo child on the LP though! That hurt me a bit more!
Alexander Eddy and when he played voodoo child on the LP!!
he was just joking. he had a cheeky smile. but I agree. it was extremely irritating. but when he played it on the Les Paul I smiled.
Slash is shite.
And he is playing sweet child o mine on a Stratocaster 😂
never played Electric guitar in my life but I like Gibson cause JIMMY PAGE and HUMBUCKERS!!!
Malav parmar Go buy a guitar you will love it(most of the time lol)
Glib i play Acoustic 😂
and danelectro and telecaster have single coils and page use a lot in studio
Malav parmar Jimmy also played a Telecaster in the early days of Zep! Used it on the Stairway to Heaven solo as well
Malav parmar fair enough man
Can't disrespect the god John Frusciante, so I have to go with the Strat
Hampus "The God"
Strat all the way, but call Frusciante "God" is too much nonsense...
You can't compare Frusciante to God. He's great but he's no Frusciante :)
you mean you can compare john frusciante to dimebag? lol
David Borrego Well atleast john plays with emotion and is pleasing to hear.
If your Fender's neck broke, you could get it replaced, if you're les paul's neck broke, you just blew 2 grand. I prefer an epiphone tbh lol
Ethan Knudtson lol true
Or you just pay a professional to repair the break. I had a major neck break repaired in 2007 for just £45 ($57 at today's exchange rate or $88 in 2007).
Ethan Knudtson lol
that just begs the question: why the f**k are you going around breaking guitars?
Ethan Knudtson learn your facts before you speak of you steam the les Paul's glue on the neck it will come off then you can replace it quite easy and their really tuff I bang mine around hit the headstock all the time and no problems at all
clean: stratocaster
with ANY effect: les paul
Nice I will buy both of them
sceno how much will it cost? I might buy myself the strat
gamespecies You can get mid-range solid versions for 450-600 bucks
AOB damn... dont think i have that kinda money rn..
+gamespecies PRS makes very good guitars, and they're a little bit cheaper. You can get a nice second hand PRS SE for around 300 bucks. Or a Jackson, not the best brand, but you can get one for around 150 bucks. My first guitar was a Jackson, and it did its job.
I'm lucky to own both, so whatever my mood takes me,
bluehazeboy same
i love both my fender strat (mex) and Gibson Explorer equally, though i tend to use my explorer more mostly cause i play lots of rock hard rock and metal stuff and because it has rosewood which is feeling so nice, I WOULD NEVER get rid of my fender strat! i use it mostly for the blues as MArty hints at but also into more funkly soul stuff such as Red Hot Chilli peppers and even for some alternativ rock like JAck white and The White Stripes
4:05 fender
4:43 Gibson
Three single coils have a lot of humming when at distortion compare to humbuckers.
Been a "Les Paul guy" since the mid-eighties but allways loved the sound you can get from a strat... think I've had 5 or 6 strats that I sold. Found The Strat last year, american standard with a shawbucker. Thanks again for your great videos and have a fantastic new year! 🤘😎❤👍
Strat all the way
Love my MIM Stratocaster! Bought it used at a Pawn Shop in 2017 for just $360! Incredible bargain! It plays amazing! Hope to get a Gibson Les Paul someday. Will be awesome to have both!
I bought my Mex Strat in High School back around 1996 for 1/8 of weed, lololol. Still got it....
After years and years, I finally saved up enough to buy a Fender Strat today to go along with my Gibson Les Paul. As the old saying goes, "At some point, you will have both" just gotta decide which one you want first, that's the hard part lol.
as a beginner that tried both, I like the Strat. Personal opinion of course.
rcampbell25 actually, strat sounds cleaner, more acoustic, i might add, LP is kind of a rock figure. and its humbuckers (guess too wild for me.) but put p90s in that baby, sounds marvelous i tell you.
Manuel Andre De Vera Humbuckers are more than just Rock.
well, it still depends on the taste of the player though
Manuel Andre De Vera True
I mostly play Blues and Rock.
I also like a bit of Jazz and Funk occasionally.
good taste 👌
I'm a strat guy. just my opinion, I love les pauls don't get me wrong but there's nothing better than a strat.
Tim Backus except the les paul
Telecaster
Tim Backus The strat tone is just so motherfucking good. Blues played with a strat are smoother than a baby's oiled butt.
my man
I always was a strat guy, and I probably will be for the rest of my days. Glad to see somebody support that godly instrument!
The two best guitars on the planet imo. Totally different though I could never choose to have one or the other, you kinda need both.
Yes i like both but a les paul just has more balls
I never picked up a LP that had a thick enough neck.
Whoa. I don't think I've ever seen a test like this, where they play the same thing through both guitars. Everybody usually plays different stuff through each one so you don't get a fair comparison.
I think I like the Strat better. Didn't expect that. It's not as 'muddy' as the Gibson. More defined.
I’ll straight up say I just came to hear Marty play.
Tom Hawkins facts
Last name stealer
Marty: plays AC⚡DC on an les paul
Me: wait thats illegal
Well it’s better than playing it on a strat, but I know what you mean
When I play a power chord on a les paul i just feel... well... powerful
Its the best Feeling ever
'Standing up with a strap on'. I'm never going to be able to get that image out of my head.
the awkward pause after too lmao
Lmaoooooooo
Les Paul is love. Les Paul is live. Just like you❤
Rikfred pusssyyyyy,!!!
If I'm playing anything in between semi-heavy rock (Ex. Skillet) or heavier, semi metal (ex. 3DG) id rather use a Les Paul, but if I'm playing something like Alt-Rock (ex. Green Day) or anything lighter than that I'd rather use a strat
I do not hear you mention Blues Player, Joe Bonamassa using the Les Paul.... Why is he always forgotten?
Henk van Gruijthuijsen Joe has used every model out there, but I guess he does play the LP most often
just saw him live and he uses everything but that particular show, his old strat sounded the best!!!!
Marty Music That's awesome! I've never had a chance to see him live yet, but I definitely will at the first chance I have...
For me, the Strat seemed like an obvious choice when playing in the stores. The pickups were clearer, the neck more comfortable, and the tonal differences seemed more vast. Just picked up my first les paul a couple weeks ago after making that decision, and for me I love it. It sells hard rock tones so much better, it just has enough character that it makes everything feel and sound confident. I love both, and I regularly use both. But for writing and practicing I use my Paul now
The strat is faster more advanced when you learn how to burn.

I would want one of each but prefer the Les Paul.
I think I'll go for the Fendson Lescaster
I don't have enough money to buy a les paul or fender stratocaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... ..........
Sanchita Kundu look up squier strats they’re pretty cheap and they still have a great sound to start on
Then buy Squier or Epiphone Les paul.They are cheap.
Go to thomann.de They have amazing lookalike guitar
I have an Epi Les Paul as my first electric and Im planning to buy a Squier next month. Go for the cheapos first so you can try both. Gitgud and invest on a more expensive one when you get the skills on your preferred genre
Squire dude ! $300 of pure guitar !!! They are great sounding and easy to play ! I owned many before I graduated to more expensive guitars. There is one I regret selling, it was one of the best sounding guitars I ever owned, it had double humbuckers, it was a beast ! The Fender "Bullet" is another, and even cheaper ! They sound amazing for the money ! Good luck my friend, we where all where you are at !!! Get that Squire ! You will be happy !!! :)
I've never owned a Les Paul. Had a Strat for years and lots of other guitars. In this video I feel like the tone of the Les Paul is way better.
You sir, have played yourself 11 times.
it depends on what amps u put on
Paul. Lack of tone is what you really nean.
PRS
100% agree
Agreed.....hands down. Best of all worlds.
Completely agree, that's what I love about them.
totally a compromise between Les Paul and Strat! Brilliant guitars, but I still think Fenders and Gibsons are awesome.
J P I'm too poor for that shit
Personally I liked the sound of the les Paul better than the strat.
The Les Paul immediately sounded better are you kidding?
Joshua the strat was better
The stray sounded better. But i heard a more of a stadium sound out of the Les Paul.
Fender always sounds better but Gibsons look better
flat cat not to like argue and this is subjective but I preferred the les Paul on any pedal or distortion but clean the strat was better on clean
I’ve been a Strat guy for some years but I find myself shifting towards the Les Paul nowadays. I’m more of a Neil Young style guy than a Jimi Hendrix. Hard rock than blues.
When you start on acoustic you don’t care how a guitar feels. It’s all about sound. Used to be more of a Tele guy, now I prefer a Strat. One thing is for sure: the Fender sound is the way to go.
I feel like Stratocasters were made popular because of the shape. But it picked up more attention when the Romantics used it in some of their music videos
I prefer GIBSON SG
juan Felipe Devia Beltrán its a Different les Paul Same wood Same pickups
Gibsons in general win because of the sustain and the richness of tone from humbuckers. One of my favorite players was Paul Kossoff and when I first started playing I was heavily influenced by him and his ability to get so many different voicings out of one Les Paul. I have Strats and Teles but my Gibsons (specifically my Les Paul) just sing like nothing else can...
SG WINS
For tone alone I have to go with the Les Paul. Is it heavy? Yes. Is it as ergonomic as the Strat? No. But it's been responsible for most of my personal favourite music (along with the SG). The Strat I feel is overrated and overused. Fender fans (or Gibson detractors, I should say) endlessly bash the LP while circlejerking over how great the Strat is. And I get tired of seeing, and more importantly, hearing it pop up in so many places. They call the Les Paul tone bland, but to me the Strat sounds comparatively sterile and thin. Of course I still love it, but it just gets overused IMO.
I love how bright the Strat sounds. I'd be interested to see a comparison to a Telecaster
The Les Paul is the definition of Rock and Roll 🤘
I'd like your comment a hundred times if I could
Nah it's a SG
Facts.
Gotta be a Jr for punk. Johnny thunders on a Les Paul Jr IS rock n roll.
I prefer the SG with coil split tapping.
Split coil isn't the same as a tapped coil. Gibson usually uses a split coil. It disables the humbucking property of the pickup, although you can get that back if you use the middle position of the rhythm switch (both pickups in series.)
They both sound amazing but i just like the feel of the strat personally, plus the tremelo system is fun to use
