i only gessed the tele right
I got the Strat and Tele mixed up. That's one hell of a Tele so I'd choose that one.
Wow I got it I have this epi by Gibson Tele called T310 its close enough I play it most because I don't want to beat up my strat or les Paul's but a studio's always sweet and beat up sqire good enough I love all three sounds that's why you save up for the good ones and wait to get something good enough and always keep trade up options open never trade down oh and sg is a category within this topic since it is a les Paul and a unique sound somewhere in the middle of these three
I guessed all three.
First: the blue one
Second: this blue
Third: that blue
That wasn't easy.
I wouldn’t typically gravitate toward a blue guitar but that ultra Tele is a show stopper. Great playing!
Glad you're feeling better Landon
You've got quite a nice collection going there. Great sound and killer looking.
He tells the guitars don't fight! I love this guy!
Was just looking for this exact video because I want to buy a new guitar. Always on time Landon😂
Good timing!
Hey Landon, been following your videos since fall, I’ve really come to enjoy the relaxed nature of your channel
Bought my first guitar a few weeks ago, went for a Fender Vintera II Nocaster after trying it out in our local music shop
I’ll have my first electric guitar lesson this Monday, looking forward to it, having tons of fun
Awesome! Thank you!
!Excelente. Nice. Muy bueno video. Landon congratulations! 🏆🎖️🎸😊
Clean tele neck sounded great. Wow. That* was cool
Glad you're almost back on your game. I think i had the same flu. Nasty. It not only gets in your body but in your head as well. But i do have to say that I love my 1735 Gibson Telecaster! it's a 9 string with 17 humpbuckers. I prefer the unlocking tuning pegs though. I'm not entirely sure if I'm actually over my flu yet. Always enjoy your videos!
The middle position gave the Strat away. I actually had the strat and Tele backwards based on the neck pickup alone. LP was way beefier so that one was easy to pick out.
The Tele overall sounds best to me on these examples. What a guitar that blue one is.
Glad you're feeling better, dude!
I have one of each of those(different models and colors because blue guitars are factually dumb)but I go through cycles of which one is the main one I want to play. I'm on an LP kick these days. Last year was entirely Tele.
I called a Gibson a Fender! am I feeling better? lol
I had the pedal and amp correct. Kinda guessed on the songs. I love Telecasters but that strat and flamed neck sure is purty. I look forward to your videos. Thank you
I love strats and I have one. Only issue with them is the pickup switch selecter is positioned in an awkward place. If you get too excited strumming you can knock it into a different position and completely change the sound🤦♂️
*12” radius on the Les Paul.
Knobs are called Reflector Knobs, typical of mid-to-late 1960s style.
I also called it easily. Only because I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘60s and a Fender Vintera ‘60s Jaguar.
I like....the blue one and SWEETWATER!!!
I love your tone challenges bro... and I actually got this one correct 🤣🤣 (it was an easy one tho, so i won't be celebrating too hard.) That Telecastrar Ultra is soooo fine looking, but i.m.o. that Strat was the best sounding. Also, the word on your shirt couple with the font, looks suspiciously like something i said a few times last time i had the flu... 🤣🤢 Keep up the good work 👌👌
I confused the Telly and LP, but the Strat was obvious. I liked the Ultra Telly best... and I think it looks the best too. But I'm biased, I was already going to buy one just like it this month.
+Yes +I guessed everything from the first clean example. +Difference between single coils and humbuckers is very clear, and become clearer with saturation. Between the two fender, it was not so easy, and I was surprise that these microphones are so identical... maybe it's because it's a modern tele, mine is very different from my stratocaster... but, on the clean examples, I can hear the resonance of the springs of the stratocaster tremolo/vibrato bridge, and the more "focus" sound of the telecaster bridge.
X Tele Y Lp and Z (the underwound) Strat. Got to the end of the video now and my fave is still the tele, even if it has noiseless pickups in it.
Got all three correct; the LP was simple to pick out, and the bridge PU in both the Tele and Strat were dead giveaways, although the neck PU on a Tele is pretty distinct as well and helped clue me in. Hard to beat a LP, but I do enjoy Teles too. Strats really aren't my bag, but they're versatile.
Great video Bro'. I would have included a Gibson SG too. I love your channel. rock on. Feel better soon.
I don't have a blue SG!
@@landonbailey hahaha rock on. OH CANADA!
w00t! I guessed right on all 3. Tele is my favorite - looks and sound.
Yes I also am not crazy for blue on guitars. But all 3 of these are stunning especially that telecaster.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
I own a fender vintage two thinline natural and a artist series Eric Clapton blackie plus a 78 sg custom. All great guitars!!! But i love Blackie the most!!!
I'm surprised! I loved the Middle and bridge position on the X guitar with Gain, compared to the others. I have a strat, so I'll get a Telecaster. Thanks
Nailed it! I guess I shouldn’t be TOO proud of the fact that I got them right, considering how different they are. I’m a Fender guy, and as pretty as that LP is, blue just doesn’t seem right on that model. I certainly wouldn’t kick that LP out of bed, though. Probably break the headstock.
I'm guessing strat, Les Paul, tele.
I guessed X as tele initially, had a feeling I would get the strat and tele mixed up. For some reason I had the impression that the tele was brighter than the strat. Listening back it's clear which is which. Love the sound of the tele.
For clean tones I'm a fender enthusiast, distortion I like the LP. But all in all, I like the blue one 😅
I started learning about guitars yesterday, and I really want to buy one. I'm guessing the first/X is the telecaster, second/Y is the Gibson, and last/Z is the stratocaster. I really like the sound of the middle one. I really like the Gibson Les Paul but it's too expensive. I guess I'm going to have to settle for the telecaster at this time.
Edit: I'm right!
Glad you're feeling better. I'm old, so have some experience with old guitars. Nothing sounds better for rock in my opinion than mahogany. Gibsons were made of made of mahogany. New ones have some mahogany, but are chunks with veneers. The humbucker pickups have their advantages as well, even if I personally like the tones a P90 offers with a simple twist of a volume knob. That said, Les Pauls don't sing or cry like a Strat can with the tremolo (whammy) bar. Each has it's advantage. I probably play my Tele more than either. I dunno, it's the simplicity. Yeah, the pickups hum, and aren't as "warm" as a humbucker on mahogany. But the neck is great, and amp settings color tone these days as much as anything. It's best for rockabilly as well, if a Gretch is out of reach. As for these three.... Y even ask Y on guitar Y. It's the different tone. I guess with a coil splitter it might sound like a Fender, even with the different wood. Hey, just my opinion, as a guy who doesn't play out any more. ....after watching the end, I was tripped up a bit more with the Fenders, but it's the single coils. Thanks for the fun.
I got it right! I tend to play Strats, but I love the burst on the Les Paul. The Les Paul was my favorite.
I replied to myself confirming I’ll take all three. Thank you, the cheques in the post.
You’re welcome! Have a nice day! 🎸
My ears were perfect!
X was not too warm but not too thin except in the middle, so I knew it was the tele (I own a beautiful one)
Guitar Y was super warm and completely full, so it had to have humbuckers and be the Les Paul
Guitar Z was too thin in the bridge position, and both the neck and middle position were clear, with the string mutes being very clear, so it had to be a strat.
Well, the strat is brighter, so it sounds great clean or nearly so. The humbucker cancels some of the higher order harmonics so can sound a bit sterile in comparison. But it also consequentially sounds less fizzy through a distortion circuit. The Tele has 43 gauge wire which makes the pickups sound dark and removes the fizzyness as well. But, the sacrifice is that the neck pickup can often sound too dark. My own solution is to use a humbucker but get the brightest one you can - like a 6k Fullerton. You sacrifice some liveliness, but it is well worth it. It distorts well, not too fizzy and still quite bright.
I had the tele pegged. But I had the strat and les paul swapped. I was blown away the Z guitar was that strat. Very interesting 🤔
Just wondering. Is there a Stratocaster with a maple neck you still have (that’s sunburst)
Do you have the custom black Gilmour Stratocaster, the telecaster custom
And do you plan to get an acoustic that’s a dreadnought (not cutaway) shape
Do you also have an SG? And can you also use the zager guitar in a future video
A new Fender Les Paul, Never seen one of those!
Wow, I got the strat and the tele reversed (that strat was surprisingly better than the tele). SG and Sheraton say "hi", glad you're feeling better, but a little sad they were left out.
@@user-xd7rc9mj3x I disagree.
Interestingly enough, I've never even played on a Blue guitar let alone owned one. Thanks a lot Landon, now I have to go out and find me a Blue guitar. Love the look of all three here, but that Strat really stood out to me. Very nice indeed.
You blue it!
Next video: how to set your amp (the Princeton) to let the three guitars sound exactly the same?
Floating a Big 'GIBSON' text while you saying 'Fender Les Paul' is the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen and I LOVE IT!!!! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Great video as always, I got it all right, can't be confused! Ppl often argue with these 3, which is the best or says you gotta pick just one but WTH, you can have them all!
Love that you played silverchair
I got it right but the noiseless pickups made me a bit unsure.
Glad you feel better. Got 1 right mixed up Tele and LP How could I be so dumb? Because I'm a bass player. Of course it's my excuss for basically everything.Even my spelling.
I am surprised that i did infact absolutely love the sound and aesthetic of the blueberry burst les paul
A telecaster with certain effects pedals is all anyone needs. You can make it sound like whatever you want.
I liked the blue one the most. And I guessed it right! It was the blue one!!
If I were a guitar builder, the brand would be named „Versus“. Lots of advertising on YT. 🤪😅🤪
All my guitars (2) are blue too. 👍
I like all three guitar's!
Well now i want a new guitar.... That Tele Ultra is calling my name!
Hello there. How's it going? Anyways, I have an answer in regards to choosing and what not. If I were to choose an electric guitar for myself to buy and own, I would choose a Fender Stratocaster all the way. The reason why is mostly because of the versatility that you can get from it. I have always loved the Fender Telecaster and Gibson Les Paul as well but they are not really my type. Back when I was a beginner, my first electric guitar was a Strat copy. In my eyes, the Fender Stratocaster was always my type because I get to experiment with all three single coil pickups that are in there when it comes to various sounds and tones. Basically, the Fender Stratocaster itself looks right when you play various musical styles such as country, rock, blues, pop, jazz, heavy metal, funk, soul, folk and so many among others. I am just giving some insights of how versatile the Fender Stratocaster really is. To me, Fender Stratocaster is the number one electric guitar for everything music. And that's that. Great reviews.
If it’s blue it can be anything, right?
I got it right. The most easy one for me was the Gibson, which sounded a bit muffled but slightly more powerful in comparison. Funnily enough, I guessed the Tele was guitar X because of the neck pickup, which is a fairly distinctive, interesting, and underrated sound in my opinion. The bridge pickup wasn’t as different from the strat as I would’ve thought. The strat just sounded same-y, boring, and bright to my ears. It was my least favorite in all of the demos. I preferred X over Y over Z. Y too dull, Z too bright/brittle, X just right.
I'd probably pick the blue one
Strat is always obvious, but I couldn't differentiate Tele and LP on clean at first. I guess maybe because you have a high-end Tele
It’s because of the noiseless. They sound more like a hb than a single coil.
Obviously being a Les Paul fanboy, I got it right. I was confused between the 2 fenders. But the high gain gave it away that X is the Tele and Z is the Strat
Strat is great for versatility and softer sounds
The Les Paul is nice for the fat heavy tones
The Tele is best for both and rhythm sounds
Entierement d accord avec Vous .. bon débutant de 58 ans . Et pas moyen de mettre beaucoup d argent . Mais aime le son surtout . J ai pris d occasion . Une épiphone les paul 100... une yamaha pacifca 112 J ... une télecaster knoxville gear4music .. une ibanez asf75T .. les 4 pour 380 euros ... même si elle non pas le son des vrais strat . Télé. Les paul (ibanez asf75t á part ) ... la différence est la même . Mais je dirai que la les paul et la télécaster en micro manche peuvent approcher je dis bien approcher pour les puriste . une sonorité jazz ... la srat ne le peux .. quand pensez vous ? Bye de france 🎶🎶🎸🎸
Got it right
That blue telecaster looks cheery asf
I’m not normally a fender guy, but this Tele 🤩
Hi Landon, So a couple of months ago I had someone mod me a player tele HH with the lace sensor blue and the dually red, and the blue’s volume is louder than the dually red. Is it supposed to be that way? This is the second time it happens, the first time I could barely hear it on the amp. So got in contact with Lace and they told me the dually red may be defective and sent me another one. This time is a little bit louder but it’s still lower than the lace blue. Idk what to do lolz. Anyway love your vids!!🤞🏾
you could try raising or lowering the pickup heights and experiment to see if that balances the levels a bit
Keep the blue, that's the best one, by far, and put an EMG or something in the other spot, if you want to stay active, or see if Chris Carter is still making pickups- he has a YT channel here SIN Pickups is the name- I have 3 different sets and they are all terrific. The EVH78 is a mid 60's T-Top clone, and he has 2 different PAF sets, both are great, and not overpriced, either.
@@landonbailey It was the pickup height!! Thanks unc✌🏾
I guessed it right this time. Strat is "quacky", Tele is "twangy" and Les is "bucky". I've got cheaper versions of all three, but the sound comparison still holds true. I've also got a Jag but haven't found a word to describe that yet - perhaps "quangy". ;)
Put the SG in your mind!
Telecaster ~ Squire 50's Classic Vibe
Stratocaster ~ American Roadhouse
Les Paul ~ Epiphone Classic Worn Gold top
Those are my three picks in these categories based on price, style, and performance.
I got all right
I was mostly wrong, lp tele strat.
The only Tele-esque guitars for which I've lusted are those played by Jim Root; Richie Kotzen; Joe Duplantier; Billy Squier; Billy Gibbons; Jimmy Page... and so it goes.
I was right about the Les Paul but not about the tele/strat, I love the high gain tone from the Les Paul
The Holy Trilogy of Guitars. I have 2 out of the 3, missing the Telecaster. These are my guess X = Tele Y (stacked single-coils aka humbuckers) = LP (humbuckers) and Z = Strat (real single-coils)
I was wrong, flipped the two humbuckers. Teles and LP are very close.
Fender Les Paul blueberry burst ah yes
I know the which guitar which sound since clean tone
one of each
Oh this was very interesting. I have wanted to play for a long time but due to personal BS i only recently started learning. I didn’t get them right at all lol, but had a ton of fun trying
Got the LP right. Mixed up the Strat and Tele. Go figure.
I knew it!!! If it sounds like my guitar, is a Tele. If it has more lows and very smooth, it's a Les Paul. If is sounds like SRV, it's a Strat.
Paused at 7:56. I think I can get this just from the clean tone:
X:tele
Y:Les Paul
Z: strat.
Let’s find out.
Yep. Easy peasy.
Maple fret boards are the best.
I got them right, but let me tell you the five false states of grief my brain went through before I realized the guitars weren’t ordered from left to right 🤣 I thought “how in the world did I miss that bad?” 😂🤣
Landon: This is one of the videos you should send to Lorne Michaels. You're funny, you're Canadian, and he will see that you should be reading Weekend Update. I'd actually start watching SNL again.
Love those roasted necks!
They're all good guitars, personally i find it hard to recommend a Strat if you never have any inclination towards using a vibrato because they affect tuning stability so much, sure hard tail models exist but ive never personally played one let alone owned one. Gibson's quality control is lacking in recent years, makes them hard to recommend, that kinda makes it easy, Telecaster! I have 3, an American traditional 50's style, a old JDM 60's style with modern 6 saddle bridge and EMG's and a Mexican HH players series one with contours and 22 frets, isn't a style that at least one doesn't nail perfectly and they are all versatile, if i had to choose one it would be the HH because it is the most versatile with coil split to cover single coil(ish). All three combined cost less than a single of most new Gibson's...
As an SG guy, ouch
SG is trash.
Damn, I got it right.
CRICKETS.
LMAO.
A+
I guessed them correctly. I liked the Strat the best.
Would love to see you compare the M-Musi Virgo Classic to that Tele.
It has a mahogany body, roasted maple neck and fingerboard, hand polished stainless steel frets, bottom - of - neck truss rod wheel, bone nut, totally contoured body and locking tuners. AND, it has both a contoured neck profile and a compound radius. Pretty sick for so little $$$ ($320 as of this writing). I think that would be a VERY interesting comparison. Thanks.
strat paul tele
lp, tele, strat. Darkest, dark(probably because of the noiseless pu) then chimey single coil.
Wow got the lp and tele backwards. Those noiseless are dark.
Bring back the Fender American Standard.
Which telecasters and Stratocasters do you mostly still have if you still have the les Paul special
good question! I'll have to do a guitar collection video soon
Tele 4 shizzle
Tele
Lespaul
Strat
And I need you now, somehow...
I'm impressed I got it right😂
I didn't like the sound of any of them. Which is odd because I owned an American Stratocaster for 20+ years, I own a Tele copy now, and my first electric guitar was a Les Paul law suit era Japanese guitar that was REALLY good. Guessing which was which was easy.
If you got the money buy all 3 of them. They all are pretty much the same but one simple hack that will make the Stratocaster the best is tune it down 1/2 step to Eb E flat. The GOAT guitarist all used Stratocasters Hendrix SRV Buddy Guy Jeff Beck Eric Clapton. The SRV Strat is the best guitar in the world.
got les paul right. messed up the tele and strat
