I think the fact that Capt. Lee owns a Marshall AFD100 while not being a massive Slash fan tells you that his "signature gear" often has a universal appeal, because it just sounds great even if you remove the name from it.
Well tbh it is just a guitar (or amp) with a name and maybe a special color and small details, it doesn't really make the guitar or amp different unless you are like Zakk Wylde and put EMG's in there or take a Marshall and replace the innards. But just my opinion, btw not hating on signature stuff. I have some..
Obviously they're great gear but I think Gibson has gone a little bit over the top with sticking his name on everything every year, and I'm a fan of Slash. Like a Signature Slash Firebird, really?
@@leej9597 I am a big Slash fan too, but completely agree with you. I see it as an easy money grab...I can't even recall how many signature models he had had since even the snake pit thing
@@pentatonicpaddy That might be the case, but do you know why it has his signature and why Slash has the No1 then. Seems like a Slash thing to me. but I might be wrong

Blindfold and shootout episodes are the best. More entertaining and better help me select gear. Than you for all the great videos this year and happy holidays.
1 & 3 sounded wayyy more Slash than the Slash signature! That's crazy. Hand on heart, I can say the first one absolutely blew the Slash out of the water.
I listening for those alnico 2 pickups he is known for using. I was listening blindly and thought “number two sounds so much different from the others”. And then once I saw which ones were which, I was sitting there in awe how 1 and three sounded much more like slash
@@bradyoswald2668 yeah I though 1 had that really hot, brash tone I’d associate with Slash despite the fact the amp is probably doing most of the work here. 1 sounded great though compared to 2 which I though sounded pretty damp ... I’d buy 1 and take the pickup covers off and save myself a few bucks! I doubt that 50s neck would be fast enough for Slash though, I think the original Slash prehistoric gold top had a black back and neck too.
@@balke7935 I imagine they referenced the guitar from Godfather Theme. I can’t recall if that guitar had a black back though. I wanna say it did though. But not only does the pickups really have an effect on tone, but that amazing AFD 100 amp is AMAZING! And with your eyes closed... you would think that guitar one is literally slash playing.
@@valendis yeah they all sound the same at first except the slash Victoria in my opinion. But in a weird way, I thought that the Victoria didn’t sound like slash at all 😂
@PhillipMcKnight had said way back in the day about the Gibson Epiphone comparison, that the Epis are simply winning because you shouldn't have to try to tell the difference between these two guitars at these price points; it should have been obvious, and I agree with him... Spotting the Epi from the Gibson should have been a piece of cake and yet it isn't...
Which maybe why I have 2 Epiphone Les Pauls & still have change out of £1,000. They play great, feel great & I could keep buying 2 or 3 more varients before hitting the Gibson proce tag for just 1. I am also trying to tell my wife it is better value, but I think that she maybe at the point now where she wants less guitars in the house. We are running out of wall & floor space!
In the past 10-15 years the quality of import guitars has gone way up. Everything done with CNC, the use of better electronics, better quality control. I started playing in ‘97 and back then there was a huge difference between a Korean, Chinese, Mexican and a USA/Japan guitar. Today you get the Gibson because you want the real deal and you’re willing to pay for it. And because of the headstock lol.
I'll take the Epiphone. Inexpensive and almost as good... just a bit of a treble turn down on the amp and you are there... for me at least, and you don't have the panic attacks at the price or live in fear of chipping the finish.
#1 for me too. Seems it was a clear winner in 'best sounding' guitar. Ahh, got an email from you guys today. Ditto+ coming in New Year now. Looking forward to messing around with it!
I got Slash's guitar right, and the standard Les Paul right. But I confused Pete's and the Epiphone. That's got to say something good about those Epiphones!
The only one I got right was 50s standard. My main guitar is a 2019 Blueberry Burst Traditional that uses Burstbucker 1 and 2 (neck and bridge respectively) and I play through a Marshall DSL so they sounded familiar.
Funny story: shopping in a grocery store during Christmas time a few years ago and the typical annoying Christmas music was on. About halfway through the trip, "Welcome to the Jungle" starts playing over the speakers. So now it's one of my favorite Christmas songs.
20:09 I agree with Pete. The Epiphone may be a hair thinner sounding than its Gibson counterpart, but I couldn't justify the price difference. Great video gents!
Love my appetite burst. I have to say they sound much better in person, the 50’s sounded much better here. But in fairness it can be down to the mix setup too.
I agree with many of the comments. The Slash models sounds the least Slash. Surely with the price they charge there would have been enough margin to shove in some Seymour Duncans. If Cort and Charvel can put SDs in their £800 guitars then I am sure Gibson can put them in these.
I probably would have had no chance of picking out the Slash model from all 4 if I was blindfolded, but I think I could have done it if it was just the first 2. The Slash model sounded a little brighter to me.
The first Gibson sounds phenomenal. What an amazing guitar. Epiphone also better than expected but I can head that the bridge pickup probably would hurt my ears on high notes. After years of sounding dull, Epiphones now sound super trebly but at less you can rectify that somewhat
TOUGH CHOICE.........you can have one slash Gibson or four epiphones. Or one amp that makes them all sound great. I chose four epiphones. Standard D and a back-up and drop C and a back-up.
I love the fact, that no 2 Gibsons are exactly the same . Due to the natural timbers and important human element and their skilled craftsmanship . Then of course , there’s custom shop variables .
I congratulate you on your fine choice and will add a simple 'Try out the DRS2 before you commit'. This comes from someone who gigs the DRS2 for two years now (obviously a lot less in the past year ) and who picked it out of bunch of more expensive Martins. A small bonus is that it looks like a Martin Dreadnought, not like a 1:1 copy of a Taylor - which does not have to be a bad thing if you're into that as I use a Taylor for the cutaway as well when playing up the dusty end ( Sweet Child o' Mine comes to mind or rockabilly stuff with the solo in the Em blues scale - which is basically all of them ;PPP ). Have fun with whatever you buy - just do yourself a favor and try out the DRS2 as well.
@@TheGrandmaMoses Thank you, the drs2 looks like it has what I'm looking for (mainly fingerstyle without being liability on strumming). Im considering the sc13e mainly for the upper fret access. I'll defininately try both.
@@owenpigeontop5683 Don't thank me, just try both and pick what you like. The dreadnought sounds like a dreadnought, so you will like it, I'm quite sure.
The Epi proves that sound is all pickups and electronics and that setup in the Epi nails the sound - very close to the 50s Standard. Way ahead of the old Epis of the early 2000s. However, sustain, harmonic overtones, and feel…those are built into the guitar, not installed, and you can tell that the Epi doesn’t have those same overtones and sustain as the Gibsons. Probably due to the thicker finish and the wood selection, amongst various other little factors in the manufacturing process that add up. However, at this price point, it’s amazing to see how difficult it is to tell the sound of the Epi apart from the others. But whatever anyone says, the Gibsons usually have something a bit extra that makes the playing experience more enjoyable and I hear that here as well (and you feel it in person).
What’s crazy is that the Epiphone sounded bad right after Pete’s, but then it made #1 sound thin in comparison. Just shows that sound comparisons are usually relative to whatever frequency you happened to just hear.
I have the epiphone 50's goldtop, i absolutely love it! One day in maybe 150 years i can afford a gibson LP lol. But cannot knock the epiphone at all. You guys proved that! amazing video guys thanks (Y)
Dudes…what da f video did I walk into? I focused on Gibson Les Paul guitar and next thing I know it seems I landed in a weird alternate musical universe. 🤘🏼🤘🏼💿🎸🎸😂😂🤣🤣
The Slash and the Epiphone sounded better than the other 2, which I think comes down to the pickups. Slash sounded best by a bit, really impressed with the Epiphone actually. I never met a post 80's Gibson that couldn't be a little better with some Duncans, Dimarzios or so on.
Unfortunately for a buyer of affordable guitars like me, the only one that stood out to me was the Epiphone. I thought it sounded a bit muffled and less brilliant, and perhaps a little less dynamic.
I’ll give you a clue, it’s the only one with no scratch plate 😂
Next time... We need to remember to take the scratch plates off! 😂
@@andertons tbf the captain didn’t touch the plate :D

The real star here is that amp ☠
Tried not looking, all I managed to find is that that Marshall sounds immense
It's always fun when the Marshall comes out to play! 🤘
They all sound pretty damn similar down to the epiphone (a good thing). But yeah, I agree. That Marshall is gnarly.
The Epiphones always get talked up. Spend the extra on the Gibson Standard, if you can. The differences are obvious and greater than portrayed in reviews.
The amplification is the most important part of the sonic chain after all.

The goldtop one I have is the best Les Paul I have ever played.
You should have unknowingly slipped a Slash Performance Pack Epiphone in Lee's hands lol.

What I got from this is that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and a talented player can make any half way decent instrument sound good.
The Marshall AFD 100 made of all these guitars sound incredible. One of the best amps Marshall have ever made!
That’s the funniest thing with Pete grabbing the headstock and turning lee
If there’s one takeaway it’s that 1 sounded phenomenal
All the LPs sound great, each with their own particularities. The Slash Goldtop has a lot of bite btw. But what an amp, omg!! Really enjoyed the challenge, thanks Lee & Pete!

I would've love to see Pete playing welcome to the jungle :))
Pete plays with so much personality. I could listen to him all day.
I've had my 50's standard goldtop for a little over a year and it just keeps getting better. The new era Gibsons are all they should be!
I had this on in the background and when Pete played his own guitar I was like: "that's the Slash one".
Goes to show how good the Epiphone is.

They all sound better than the Slash... in my worthless opinion;) But yes! The first Gibson Standard is phenomenal!
Those 'Slashbucker' pickups are pants.

This is the first challenge yet where the right answer completely stood out to me. Pete's goldtop sounds so good though.
The real hero of this video is that incredible sounding amp!
the 1 guitar might've sounded fuller because when 2,3,4 were being played , 1 was dead shot in front of the cab
Tried listening without looking and Pete's was my favourite. Great vid as always!
That first LP sounds so good and great clarity with that Marshall amp
You have 100 tube screamers but not a tuner?? Hahah. Love it. Great vids my man.. 🤘🏼
Great comparison, as usual. Thank the editor for 21:45. Made me laugh for a couple minutes
Just realized half way through they threw an epiphone in there lol.
I think Pete's sounded the best but, the Epi surprised me, if someone is into Goldtops and on a budget they couldn't go wrong.

Slash's les paul is SO bright! I probably won't guess it was actually les paul guitar. But anyway cool
The cracks on Pete's guitar add some serious character. I actually like it that way.
Would love to see a video where you go through which mics you use on amps, and how different mics sound
All sounded great!
Pete,s guitar was the sweetest sounding to me. I bought a slash November burst from his collection this year and love it
