For me I’m on the same page as you Gabor and as a guitar choice based on tone I would go the same as you with your expensive Gibson and just sounds the best. That Black Yamaha was very different and almost sounded like single coil pickups but I thought also suited Alex playing style. Great comparison enjoyed that one.
That Yamaha is a killer, but the white on the bottom takes it over the top! I have decided to steal your guitar. Prepare your security countermeasures.
Have to agree, that Yamaha is the coolest of the bunch look-wise. Better upper fret access too. Sounds are hard to compare since those guitars don''t have the same pickups. I suggest you give it to me before somebody steals it...
The Greco clean tone doesn't sound clean to me. That is your crunch tone. Nevertheless, I really like the sound of the Greco. Totally useable. Same with the Yamaha, I've loved those since I saw Santana playing one in the early 80's.
I love it when a video helps with decision making 🙂 Prefer the neck position on the Greco, the middle position on the Yamaha, and the bridge on the Gibsons...
Santana played a custom Yamaha SG 2000 for a while , many years ago , I thought it was the best tone he ever got, have played a 2000 myself, a great guitar but a bit on the heavy side.
Luckily have a Yamaha SBG 1981 black with gold hardware… beautiful guitar. Also Ibanez Artists should be considered LP killas… heavy though. Like them both…
This is something I have been asking myself lately. Now leaning towards Burny, Navigator, Edward’s, Greco or Tokai. I’m just going to keep an eye on local trades and reverb for a while and see what comes my way. Sadly, the South Island of New Zealand has an understandably small used market.

@@j-day unused to have an Edwards Jimmy Page Style LP which was great…I sold it years ago…should have kept it! Good luck with the guitar search!!
I miss my Ibanez Super Seventies Les Paul
R8 and greco for me, awesome tones guys!!!
Why is Alex's voice so quiet? His voice has been quiet in other recent videos, as well.
I think I’m just really loud! The room mic is right in front of him but I’m always louder…I get to excited about the gear 😜
Yamaha for me
Hope you kept the original pickups for that Yamaha!
doesn't look like it, the telltale three screw pickup mount are missing
I’m pretty sure Alex kept the pickups…he just never replies to comments
Simple choice for me The Greco love it!🙂👍🎸
Good one !!! 😇
