A Les Paul into an Orange is pretty much my favourite sound 😊 They were both good but I think that the Gibson sounded like it had more mids whereas the PRS was flatter. Potentially making the PRS a better all round sound but the Gibson would push through the mix easier…
I doubt it. The tonal difference is so clearly from different pickups where the Gibson's have the resonant peak at a lower frequency and are thus more midrangy.
I think I’d be happy with the sound of either of these 😊 if you had to push then I’d go Gibson though. It has just a slightly more pleasing and less “clinical” tone than the PRS, although ironically that would make the PRS probably easier to shape into different sounds…
since gibson has just become even more overpriced than ever before i would spend my money on a maybe b-stock or used PRS instead, especially the custom ones are just made with love IMO, cheers 🎸🎸
That prs looks mid 00s maybe dragon 2s The les Paul surprised me I really didn’t expect it to come out on top it’s all about guitar character the lp has buckets The prs has the most open clean sound beautiful
Great comparison and playing and tones! I felt the crunch was all Gibson and both cleans sounded great. Wondering what pickups were in there?? I feel in love with guitar again when I played a les paul with burstbuckers into a tiny terror!! Omg!!
Writing my takes on each as I watch the video: Modern crunch goes to Gibson. Cleans goes to Gibson. High gain goes to Gibson. Orange overdrive goes to PRS. Dirty goes to Gibson. In my opinion, the Gibson has a crisper high end that makes clean and crunch sound much much better. The PRS is darker sounding without that clarity so it sounds good for very high gain.
Both are truly awesome - versatile guitar, now, just check whether they give the good hard case, is fingerboard give any easy to play for some of hands, weight (long time guitarist will understand my point :-) ) and their tuner give any stable string tension for like 7-10 songs without out tune. Good luck!!!
tough comparison as this appears to be an s2 custom 24 prs which have pickups manufactured overseas but in all honesty they both sound good. I am very much a PRS guy but gibson wins this one.

1:03 if anyone is wondering what song that is, its "gotten (feat Adam Levine) by slash"
Les Paul sounds more mid heavy, especially in the bridge, PRS sounds more scooped. Both sound great, just depends what you like more.
prefiro les paul, gosto de frequência média
I saw it below too, glad to see some Billy Talent fans in here!
I wonder if we would hear any difference with the same set of pickups.
I doubt it. The tonal difference is so clearly from different pickups where the Gibson's have the resonant peak at a lower frequency and are thus more midrangy.
Thank you for playing some Billy talent chords and not just all bendy slidy boys. It’s nice having variety in YT

Love the Billy Talent ! One of my favorites!
Nice Billy Talent riff!
Preferred the PRS on just about all the sounds here. Am I right that the S2 has the same pickups as an SE?
Yes! they have 85/15S pickups which I think sound really good in humbucker mode 👍
1:20 I heard My Curse - Killswitch Engage
Correct!
Why not put the Les Paul up against a Core PRS?
Gibson has clear sound (to me)
since gibson has just become even more overpriced than ever before i would spend my money on a maybe b-stock or used PRS instead, especially the custom ones are just made with love IMO, cheers 🎸🎸
To get a made in Maryland PRS is starts at $1800 what do you mean
@@darklinkduck2275 🤣🫣
That prs looks mid 00s maybe dragon 2s
The les Paul surprised me I really didn’t expect it to come out on top it’s all about guitar character the lp has buckets

I hear your not-Open Car riffing in the high gain section and salute it.
Prs cleans. Les paul for looks and everything else ❤❤❤❤❤ only one LP ftw
I own both of those guitars. It’s not the sound so much as they feel different. Love them both but I have to say my gold top is … well gold ! Lol
Great comparison and playing and tones!

I feel like the Les Paul has a more controlled dynamic range but the difference isn't that big.
I prefer the LP sounds and don’t like trem systems, so that makes the Gibson the winner for me.
But double tracking using both would work nice.
When it comes to guitars of this quality i can never tell the difference lol. I'd love to see one of a custom 24 and a se custom 24
Love both, But gonna go with PRS cause low budget.
Clean - Depends on application
OD - Gibson (PRS too fizzy)
Djent - PRS (gibson too mid focused)

thank you. PLease... Gibson Lespaul Standard VS Gibson Lespaul Custom
I would like to see a comparison and just Label A and B. Then see the comments and results. Reveal in a later video.
Both are truly awesome - versatile guitar, now, just check whether they give the good hard case, is fingerboard give any easy to play for some of hands, weight (long time guitarist will understand my point :-) ) and their tuner give any stable string tension for like 7-10 songs without out tune.

Does PRS have original pups? Never saw one with covers
Original PUs. The previous owner added them. They also added the cream PU surrounds 👍
Dragon IIs came with nickel covers
Both sound great so I'm going with the sexier Les Paul
PRS best for riffs playing, LP best for solo playing.
Vs Flying V?
Great comparison. I prefer the PRS .. More modern sound with more bite. But it is close.
Fair to say PRS S2 pickups are manufactured overseas
Different animals, both great, but for me the Les Paul please
(I have LP and PRS)

Gibson has a wider range of tones obviously. Prs sounds like a bit jackson in high gain. Both are good but Gibson is better to me. I own 2.
Prs has hotter pickups and better intonation
Very good and honest comparison. Thanks for sharing
prefer the G tbh . cleaner tighter sound.
Now compare the PRS Split Coils VS True Single Coils of Stratocaster
Don't bother total waste of time.
very good
Just Gibson is Best. Obviously.
No one wants Gibson it's all epiphone now ..
I love how warm and thick the Gibson
@@Myfingersstinklikefish I’m gonna get an epiphone.
Fender is the king haha
Les paul is the winner
cool 😎 ❤❤❤❤
as for me , the gipson is brighter and the prs is dirtier , the conclusion should be taken by the prs
Not much in it , specially with gain etc . My favourite Gibson is a strat ! So , the prs sounded a bit more like it .
PRS. Totes
PRS has brighter sound IMHO
....really? Your speakers might be broken.
I just HATE the way the PRS looks. Even if it sounds a bit warmer than the Gibson (which I kind of like), I cannot get over how ugly it is lol.
You are comparing import pickups to American pickups
The PRS sounds so mid scoped with everything
Thee Gibson LP will always be the best.
