Enjoy!
The Gretsch just has that magic chime and jangle that isn't like that from any other guitar. It's so unique and is really infectious. Once you hear it, you gotta have it.
Gretsch's look better. It's not supposed to matter, but they do. Yeah, I'm that shallow.
Yes i agree. I bought one. Well i got the g2420 hollow body. The twang the special sound. All gretsch are amazing.
gretsch bigsbys are built different
@@Blackmetaljulian That'll explain why my wife ran off with Godzilla's cosmetic surgeon then.
Thats what my brother said too he said This has something the les paul just doesnt he was comparing the two and wanted the gretsch
“That great Gretsch sound!”
est. 1883
Indeed
Like Gretsch.
I think it sounds a lot more articulate, the Gibbo sounds messy to my ear.
@Boony Tooty gotta agree. Gibson has flaws and Fender has flaws you can always expect but with Japanese instruments, its like they just get them on anotger level sometimes. The details are amazing for the orice point almost every time, and ive yet to have fret sprout on an Ibanez or an ESP but have had it on both Gibson and Fender within a few years of ownership.
Gretch tends to be less expensive compared to other name brands. It's just as iconic and maybe more versatile. Gretch wins in my book.
Not really. This Gretsch costs $2500- it's not that cheap!
I got the same Gretsch, just a cheaper version, and it sounds great!
Not for the Japanese-made stuff. Comparable with all the US brand pricing.
That's a respectable opinion.
@@shayh.3556 yeah, I’ve got the 5435 tg and love it. Next up for me eventually will be a 5420 t or a Country Gent if I ever have extra money.
Loved the sound of the gretch! For me, the les paul sounded muffled; like a person talking with their hand over their mouth. The gretch sounded brilliant and wide open.
Malcolm and Angus knew a Gibson paired with Gretsch would sound awesome too! Haha.
like guns and roses
So did slash and Richard Fortus
@@1-minslomo129 who played the gretsch.
@@cornstar1253 Richard fortus and Izzy stradlin played a some i think
Add Neil Young to that list as he played both, though not simultaneously as far as I know.
The LP sounded muffled in comparison, you can get a Gretsch to sound like an LP but not the other way around. The harmonic richness of Gretsch is unparalleled.
“Two of the most iconic single-cut guitar” .. Telecaster is standing in the corner sipping tea
Like nintendo
Like walmart
When you don't understand what you read
Cuz the telecaster is doing its own thing like nintendo?
Tele was sipping tea until that was said, then he snorted it out of his nose.
Someone I know plays with Duo Jet and there's something about the frequencies it pushes out that really makes it cut through live while other guitars get lost in the mud. Sometimes a guitar isn't about how nice it sounds while noodling on the sofa but what it does in context.
poise in chaos I like the way that you put that... it’s all preference. I’ve never picked up at Gretch and been amazed, but I could see where in a band it makes the guitar.
Then again, the amp and settings do a lot. I play in a red dirt country band. people look at me funny sometimes when I pull out the LP but it works well for our sound
We'll put!
Boy these guitars complement each other phenomenally.
Richard Cunningham even though it's les paul and not sg. The way they sound together is kind of like ac dc with Angus playing a gibson and Malcolm playing a grestch.
Props for knowing how to spell complement.
I'm as big a Gibson guy as anyone, but the LP was just trying to keep up with the Gretsch the whole time.
Yeah, it was pretty surprising. That Gretsch sounded like a million bucks. The Les Paul just sounded average.
I couldn't agree more.
Gretsch as we know it today could have been the biggest guitar brand based on the quality of their products, but poor decisions were made high up in the company like selling gretsch to people who almost ran it into the ground in the 70s and early 80s. But now gretsch is back in the game now that mr gretsch bought the company back in the 80s.
@@bradrichardson3539 Nah it's a Fender enterprise now & they do better with Gretsch than they do with the parent company (my opinion).
@@Philip_Taylor It’s not a fender enterprise. Fender just lets them use their factories.
Pretty sure the Gretsch sustained for longer
Some would say pup height effects sustain
@@lonnyeaton103 It does. Les Paul's dont have the best of sustain.
Lonny Eaton Some say its the weight
I thought so too.. but it was thinner sound.
i think it didn't have sustain and the les paul was tonal
I'm a modern metal guy but the duo jets have always screamed like monsters, not to mention, the pickups are great for rythym and it's where it really shines, hell just listen to any ACDC song,
The Gretch sounds so much more versatile. I felt the distortion was a tad better on the Les Paul but in every other setting the Gretch knocks it out of the park (for me). The clean chords are so beautiful and full of all the feels. When the LP was chording it was almost embarassing next to the Gretch. Also, on some of your single clean lines, the gretch was almost single-coil chimey. Maybe it's just the comparison. Anyhow thanks for the great vid.
Vegechops 💯! I have never played a Gretsch but I was surprised how much better it sounded overall. Much clearer and brighter than the LP.
Vegechops - I agree entirely, the Gretsch is far more versatile and has a superb clean tone. Thanks, Darrell, you really bring so much to these videos.
Have to agree, they both sounded good with distortion on the bridge pickup, but for everything else the Gretsch blew the Les Paul away.
Feel the same!
Gibson sounds a lil generic to me the gretsch has alot more to offer and I would say more versatile. I've only got a streamliner at the moment but would love a healthy upgrade. But I'm stuck between a g5420t or a Joe pass epiphone.
I guess it's a matter of personal taste, but to me, the Gretsch dominated in every category. Such a lively tone. Almost single coil like.
Low out put humbuckers are what filtertrons are so that's prolly what's making you think it sounds like a single coil. Which is perfectly fine actually since if you want higher output just crank your amp a lil more and BAM! Filter b doin everything that a humbucker can and then some. Filters are prolly the best guitar pick up ever made in that respect. Some just feel they don't look as kool as humbuckers and I'm kind of in that group lol.
100% agree!! His final verdict was not accurate!
As a bassist that dabbles on guitar. I seriously think Gretsch is one of the most underrated brands out there. It's not about country and rockabilly. They have that great mid ground tone thats between a single coil and a humbucker without the hum of a P-90.
Gretch for me.
Love that tone.
And the look is so old fashion I love it.
Yoir soloing makes me want to grow my hair out, take off my shirt, and let the wind rustle my hair while I watch the sunset. Great vid as always Darrell
😄😄😄
That’s so wicked...It turns you into The Incredible...Fabio!!!
Lmfao
yeah they do I have a G5222 it came w/bone nut!
Man Gretsch just embarrassed the Gibson
the gretsch sounded better in the first round; 2nd round was a tie; 3 round goes to gretsch; 4th round a tie; 5th round to gretsch; i think the gretsch wins overall!!
Gretsch just oozes quality! and that pure black fret board is beautiful.
Shame it doesn't have their signature hump block inlays.
Good review. I have both guitars. The only thing criticism I have is at 3:55 when you turned up the gain ONLY for the bridge pickups. I think you should have continued with clean tones as was done for the neck and both (neck and bridge) pickups, just to complete the clean comparison (I know that you essentially did that a little later at 7:22). But at 4:54 it surprised me when you said it surprised you about the high gain comparo on the bridge pickup. If the pickups from both guitars have approximately the same output power (which these do), then lots of gain will just max out both guitar's output waveforms into almost identical squarewaves which WILL sound the same and become more of a charcteristic of the amp rather than the guitars.
I have both. Every gig I have played I have picked the Gretsch. They are both good... the Gretsch is just move versatile.
Gretsch Wins! is a sound for i search... versatile, blues and jazz sounds in especial rock.
Great video! This is actually the second or third time I've watched it. Now, I may be just GASsing for the Gretsch, but... My opinion is that the LP is best if you tend to play more hard-rock stuff with heavy distortion and you rarely play clean. Les Pauls do clean, but it's a jazzy clean. But if you play a more wide variety of rock, do clean tones that are not jazzy, like jangly chords or folk or country, and/or love "vintage" sounds, i.e. Beatles, 60s rock, garage, then the Gretsch MURDERS those styles.
The unique powertron pickups, descendants of the filtertron pickups which probably predate Seth Lover's Gibson humbucker design, also provide a peculiar honky-ness exclusive to its design. No other pickup sounds like these guys, and these combined with Gretsch's odd 24.6 inch scale length, provide a unique feel.
Every time I've picked up a Gretsch at a shop, I start playing more intricate stuff, tending towards clean tones, and less chunky power chords, etc., and this is just a feature, not a flaw, of *"That Great Gretsch Sound."*
Never thought I'd like a Gretsch so much... Great video, man!
Thanks Tiago!
les paul my love, i really love his smooth sound. But my god the gretsch is such an underrated and beautiful guitar.
The Gretsch put Gibson in place. I can't believe the huge differences between the two. Nice tones on the Gretsch!!!
A ton more clarity out of the gretsch
That's a very polite way to describe Gibson QC problems!
We call it character lol
I bet the Duo jet stays in tune better than the avg LP.
I doubt it.
I have a Powerjet and it stays beautifully in tune.
The string break angle at the nut and the headstock tilt angle along with the bridge design make the duo jet much better designed to stay in tune. I bet the les paul has better intonation past the twelfth fret though.
@@MrISAACFACE the intonation on the Gretch is quite good.
Depends on what bridge you have. If it’s a floating space bridge, the intonation is a huge pain in the ass to tune.
I love the Gretsch but it sounds great playing with a les Paul they complement each other very well. My preference is for the Gretsch.
I have a Gretsch 5420T. I've some buddies who say it's wasted on me (I'm a beginner at 68 years old lol) But I tell them I want the mistakes to be me, not the instruments.
Don't listen to them, man. No guitar is wasted on someone who wants to play it. Keep up the great work!! You've got many years of playing ahead of you!
That country-ish playing on the Gretsch was oh so lyrical. The Les Paul sounded generic and squawky....
Gretsch is so great, I've played probably 20 different guitars from them and I've loved them all. Can't afford to buy one, but it will be my next purchase once I save up
nothing beats a overdriven filtertron, especially a TV JONES filtertron.
Still prefer the gretsch filtertron especially for cleaner sounds with a mix of reverb and echo .tv jones are also great but are just a little to bright compared to the originals .
I do believe that the Japanese made duo jets surpass the Gibson USA guitars, but not Gibson Custom.
Gretsch all day! Such a great guitar.
Great video. Excellent comparison. Surprisingly I'd award the overall victory to the Gretsch. Other than the high gain, distorted lead which favored the Les Paul I felt the Gretsch was decidedly better in all other tests - especially the country/rockabilly and arpeggiated chords comparisons. Again, well done.
Great comparison, both sounded really cool.
I liked the Gretsch more than I thought I would, the clean Brian Setzer type stuff just sizzles with a Gretsch. The darker, heavier tones from the LP are great also... Both brands have various price points depending on your wallet. While I've always been a LP lover, that Gretsch was a fantastic sounding guitar.
I'll take one of each, problem solved!
He didn't know what to expect from a Gretsch bridge pickup with high gain.. How about every AC/DC lick ever played by Malcolm Young (RIP). :)
I've had, and played both Gretsches and Les Pauls/SGs. If you want an early Clapton overdriven/distorted tone or Jazzy round tone, the humbuckers on Gibsons will not disappoint. I find that Gretsches with filtertron pickups have more clarity, and especially shine for Brian Setzer for Cliff Gallup tones. This, somewhat less, overdriven sound, matched with slapback delay, is one that you didn't explore in your comparison. Of course, the Gibson model Chat Atkins never matched the sounds of his guitars designed for Gretsch. There is just more twang available in those instruments. If you can afford it, have at least one of each, plus a Fender single-coil Strat or Tele, and you'll have your bases covered for electric guitars. I believe that Japanese-made Gretsch guitars are the best-ever for construction.
First and foremost, excellent and tastefull guitar playing. My take is Gretsch. Thanks.
I'm a Gretsch player (Streamliner), and my bands other guitarist plays a Les Paul. They compliment each other so well!
Off topic ...But have you seen this GRETA yet? Or seen any vids on it? Gretsch G-2420TP90 Streamliner
@@tonyb.7158 yeah, mine is the gold dust color of the G2420!
That great Gretsch sound 🎸😃🤠🔥. It needs to be a hollowbody though
Isn’t it chambered?
Happy Monday everyone!!
After listening to the comparison, are you a fan of the "chunk" or the "chime?"

I love both. That's why I own both. Currently, a '13 Gibson LP Tribute Future and a '17 Gretsch Pro Jet (which I just sold). Still own an Electromatic, though, and it has plenty of chime.
The Gretsch "Jet" guitars provide plenty of chunk, though. Just ask Malcolm Young of AC/DC.
More into the chime.
I definitely prefer the warm roundness of the LP neck pickup. I thought the Gretch neck pup sounded what I’ll describe as sterile. Though the Gretch does sound chimey clean, it didn’t feel as musical as a Strat or Tele to me. Both sounded great with heavy overdrive.
I agree, they both sounded great! I think they both have their places in music.
Chime! Prefer that all day long.
Darrell, I'm really enjoying to hear you playing any guitars. I guess any kind of piece of wood with strings will sound great in your hands ;)
😄 Thanks man!
IlyaZhuravlev oh yeah...he even plays while holding a Chorkie doggie on his lap...try that Slash(I love Slash)
I keep replaying the first 30 seconds of this. Amazing how well they complement each other.
Rick, at least I don't say Very Unique! Why do people put very in front of unique. seems redundant. (fixed the spelling too, even though either seems OK) www.dictionary.com/e/compliment-vs-complement/
I always wanted a gibson but now I think I want a gretsch
If you save enough money and are more patient, get both.
Tough to choose between the both of them, you make both of them sound really good! I have wanted a Gretsch for a while, already have a les. The dual guitar thing you did at the end sounded great. The Gretsch def has more of a jangley sound, I will have to try one out soon. Cheers from Maine!
Give Me the Gretsch any day of the week! Rock solid, tone for so many applications & beautifully built.
I'm really digging the gretsch in all category's
I don't get Gibson, it is the only brand out there that seems fully content to sell the most expensive lemons. In 70 years they have never bothered to invest into quality control. Why would you buy a $5000 lottery ticket... unless you are endorsed by them, famous, rich and basically Slash. It is funny because German car manufacturers often have the same answer: if you cannot afford to maintain it, don't buy one, it is factual I was told that from Audi. The story behind was that VW the mothership sued Audi in the US for a mechanic fault to the CVT transmission (wrecking it past 80000ks) that Audi never bothered to fix. So you would go to your Audi dealer with a car that cannot drive and they would replace the CVT at your own expense with the exact same faulty CVT except it is a new one (that will fail you again in 80000ks). CVT technology dates from the 70s and was designed by DAF Dutch truck manufacturer so same as Gibson with their broken neck and headstock, you would think someone would have bothered to identify the problem by now. Nope. Clearly whether it is an expensive guitar or an expensive car, it would appear you just cannot expect quality. If you buy one it means you are rich and therefore you should be able to afford to fix it, that's the idea. Why would I ever support such mentality?
BonuxCouleur not sure where you get the $5K figure from. Unless you are going for high end custom shop, the USA line tops out below $3K (still not cheap). Gibson suffers from their own heritage. They tried changing the neck angle and construction to make them stronger in the 70s and until people got nostalgic about them, they were pretty frowned upon.
Because I’m rich and able to fix it. If you can’t afford champagne, don’t drink champagne
Two beautiful guitars. I think the Gretsch is more versatile, whereas the LP does one thing and does it flawlessly.
It's good to remember that a Grestch loaded with FilterTrons that measure at 4 will sound significantly different than the LP. which is why a swapped my PowerTrons for standard FilterTrons.
Same
Wow, great comparison! I’ve gotta admit, the Gretcsh sounds amazing...those pickups are so versatile! if I had to pick between these two for my main guitar, it would be the Gretcsh since I believe they are both around the same price point. 🎸✌🏻
I cant believe it!!!!!😰😰😰😰😰you just did finger tapping to a gretsch from the 50s!!!.wow!!!
Gibson is muddier. Gretch is brighter. The 62 Duo Jet is one of my all time favorite guitars. Gretch are also classy. Check some of their models
I play clean most of the time so I like the Gretsch. The Gibson sounds a little distorted with those PAF picckups as to the TV Jones on the retsch.
Excellent road tests of two nice guitars. A tough choice but for me the versatility of the Gretsch makes it the one to go for.
I love Gretcsh sound, but the lead tone Gibson, it can't be beat it
My choice of which I'd rather play would depend on what kind of music I'd be playing on it, but in general I'll always prefer that warmth the Les Paul has over "bright" every time.
I’m really liking the Gretsch! I thought it was just a rockabilly guitar, which it exceeds at, but it clearly does so much more! Now when it comes to sustain, I’d really like to hear my Hagstrom Swede in the mix!
Hagstroms are very under-rated guitars - I had a Hagstrom Jimmy (with the oval sound hole) for a few years a long time ago, and the quality, feel and sound was excellent. I sold it to a jazz player in the end, as I felt his chops and abolity were more suited to it than mine. The bass player in the band I'm in recently bought a black Viking bass, which looks very cool and sounds great!
They both sound great. I have to say I think there's much more going on with the LP, richer, deeper. Not always what you want, but when you do, it's heaven.
Les Pauls are amazing guitars - Legendary.
Gretsch are also great guitars and have their place in history.
When compared, the thing that always comes to my mind is … no, the Gretsch isn’t a Les Paul, but it isn’t trying to be. The catch is that a Gretsch can closely replicate the Les Paul sound AND can also replicate Fender tones. Neither the Les Paul or a Fender can sound like a Gretsch. The Gretsch is a very versatile guitar.
I've played many Les Pauls and currently own the Gretsch. The Gretsch has more character. One of my favorite things which I prefer about the Gretsch is the clarity & resonance. You don't lose the sound of the individual strings to a fuzzy grind nearly as quickly as you do on the Les Paul. I do a lot of arpeggios and fingerpicking, so this is very good for that style. They also have much more character in mid-gain and clean playing. It's amazing how easily you can dial up the Chet Atkins/Brian Setzer sound and then go right into the Pete Townshend/Billy Duffy roar.......Just my $0.02.
im trading my 1979LP custom in for a new gretsch
The first Duojet was release in 1953 (not 55), isn't it ?
Both have great sounds. In some cases the LP comes up short, but in others, it just sings and steps out in front.
Gretch better quality, more affordable, more diverse performance, Gibson famous name, poor quality , heavy, ummm
Which is better ??? Gretch by a mile
That Gretsch is just wonderful to look at, it sounds good too.
Well, I have little experience with a Les Paul and none at all with a Gretsch but if I had to pick one I'd have the Duo Jet. It just seems the more versatile sounding of the two. Plus, I have a soft spot for Japanese-made guitars (I own three of them). As usual, a well done video comparison, Darrell.
Gretsch have always been my favorite. Like I always say "That's some interesting tuna."
Spoons and Guitars can I use that phrase?
I played once a Les Paul and fell in love with it. But now I have to try the Gretsch. The more opened sound is fantastic!
I don't know if they invited you to Guitcon, but they should. You have an incredible ear, very good taste, and I absolutely appreciate your professional presentations. I wish I could be more involved, but I can't. Therefore, it should be guys like you, Pete Thorn, & Tim Pierce. You 3 are top notch guitarists. There is a young lady in Canada, Ayla Guitar is her channel who I believe SHOULD be involved as well. You guys are heavy hitters, and incredibly, she is as well. Canadians, I don't know what to say... blessed guitarists.
Thanks man!
If all goes well, I'll be heading for GuitCon this year ☺
Darrell Braun Guitar it’s on now...you there?
Those three power chords on the Gretsch at 3:33 are incredible 😍
Hands down the Gretsch!
Maybe its just me but I find its tone to be a refreshing departure from 50+ years of Strats and Les Paul's.
Never cared for the Strat sound, though I love the way they look, and Les Pauls, to me, always sounded a bit muddy - and I never liked their looks. The Gretsch is no better in the looks department, essentially the Les Paul look, but sounds way more vibrant and alive than the LP. Nice to see it held its own with the modern sound instead of country or rockabilly I normally associate with a Gretsch. I think Gibson will be in huge trouble once Gretsch catches on - and I think they will. Gretsch and Paul Reed Smith - look out Gibson!
David Burke ; by "catching on" I was referring to people rediscovering it. Gibson is experiencing a lot of qc issues and I think people are looking for alternatives. Gretsch might just start grabbing a chunk of Gibson's market.
On high gain there's not much between them - but for everything crunchy to clean I prefer the Gretsch
Very impressed w/Gretsch. It certainly has a brighter tone, but then can go deep in the mids/lows. To me, it's like having a child of a Strat/Les Paul...reminds me of a nice mix of both.
Gretsch rings like a bell. Chet Atkins "Mr. Sandman" is a perfect example. A lot of the tone is from the low output pickups, much lower than PAFs.
Well done review/comparison of two great sounding guitars. I have a Korean made Gretsch semi hollow body (my first Gretsch) that puts to shame the fit, finish and build of any American made Gibson. The Gretsch is flawless in fit and finish, plays like a dream. And it cost under $1000. $850 To be exact. I replaced the stock bridge pickup with a TV Jones Powertron Plus Bridge humbucker, the hottest filtertron TV Jones makes. Designed at the request of Billy Gibbons who wanted a hotter bridge pickup. And man, Billy sure got one. It's a thunder screaming beast. I've had Gibsons.
I was actually impressed by the Gretsch. I've always been a fan, but usually have leaned more towards the Les Paul sounds.
Other than listening to Les Paul (with the original signature series guitar) and Chet Atkins on a Country Gentleman, and Angus' SG with Malcolm's Jet Firebird, I don't think I've heard any other Gretsch Gibson combinations. Certainly not a Les Paul and Duo Jet which seems to have been created to compete with the LP
I'm a Les Paul guy from way back, but I bought my first Gretsch (5420T) a couple of years ago and fell instantly in love with it. I've tried a few others since then, and definitely have a Power Jet in my future...just beautiful sounding/feeling guitars!
Must have both!! Great comparison as usual. Love your riffage and I think the Gretsch really shines on the lower gain stuff and the rockabilly as I had expected. Both offer something different and very usable in most situations. And they both look and sound amazing! God Bless!
I would state that actually the 2 most iconic single cut guitars would of course, yes be the lespaul, and how can we forget the telecaster. Tbh I believe that the tele is far more iconic and well known than the duo jet.
Duas belas guitarras gostei muito do comparativo entre as duas um abraço.
That Gretsch is gorgeous, sounds lovely too :D
About the brand I think it's difficult to say. But about the model I would say the LP. And for me that's because of the look. I have a crush on LPs 😂
Les Paul sounds warmer, with more thickness. Gretsch sounds brighter, but doesn't give up the powerful, heavy presence of a fine lead guitar. I loved my Les Paul Studio, but woud be very happy with a Gretsch all day long.
reference Gilmour playing a duo jet for comfortably numb on the meltdown dvd. a solo tone that is epic!
joe clune : that said you should see his thoughts on why single coils are better than all else
Lp has a fatter tone and more warm. Winner
I reallllllllly enjoyed that comparison. A lot of fun. Thanks so much!
I already have a PLEKed Gibson LP and i love it and it plays fantastic… but i need a new toy… Duesenberg and Gretsch are on the list. ;-) Thanks for this comparison.
Nice comparation, great guitars, thanks to using my BackingTrack 🎸😊😊😊🎸🎸🎸🎸
Hi Vito!
Keep up the great work. Your tracks are top-notch ☺
Darrell Braun Guitar 💃💃💃🎸🎸🎸😊😊
Gimme da Gretsch anytime
I love les pauls. They are my favourite guitars. The gretsch sounded very sweet too tho!
Honestly, I liked the Gretsch... by far. Surprised me. Huh....
wow ! thoroughly impressed by the Gretsch
Wow, Gretsch - didn’t expect it being this good
That Gretsch sounded AMAZING!
Surprised that more country artists don't play with a Gretsch. Sounds like a Tele mixed with a Les Paul. I prefer the LP, but I now need to buy a Gretsch, too.
Both! Gretsch for the highs and Gibson for the richness. Two different guitars for two different sounds and styles of music even though both can play similar styles of music. Thanks for the post, very enjoyable as usual! 👍 for Darrell everyone!
the sustain on the LP seems to drop a lot quicker at the end of the curve...
