It's awesome that they did not edited this video.. just to please Paul :) I have a PRS SC58 and a R9 Gibson: both absolutely great instruments, and one day my #1 is PRS, another Gibson. Gibson has always an instant good sound, but overall PRS is IMHO a slightly better and better made
Must say you were a little hasty concluding on the Maybach. As the Norwegian dealer down below says, they´re really good guitars. Having owned 3 (still got one) and also both two R7, one R8 and an R9 as well as a CS Bonamassa aged LP, I honestly think Maybach matches them all. except the Bonamassa (which is the most stupid guitar sale I´ve ever made!).
Well not all guitars sound the same (obviously) with the same amp set up. I liked the clean of the PRS but when distorted it sounded a bit bright (not as fat as the LPs). The LPs sounded great the way the amp was set up. For my taste, the 58' was #1, Pete's #2, PRS #3, Chapman's #4.
Why doesn't Andertons stock Vintage/fretking brands .... Were they stocked in the past [ Vintage ] but never sold or is not to his liking that brand .,,, ??? What chance is there to do a comparison video with a nik huber Orca 59 and Les Paul at the same price point .
I went Road Trippin' Around the World to the address Andertons Music shop is supposed to be located at and it was just a car park where I randomly found This Velvet Glove. They must be operating in a Parallel Universe and they've Easily found a way to take it on the Otherside. I tried to Get On Top of the situation but Fat Dance (bonus track) of that.
Receptionist at Andertons: Hello, Andertons. Paul Reed Smith: Is The F##king Captain in? Receptionist: One moment, I´ll see if he's in. The Captain: *last seen running for the door* Receptionist: Sorry Paul, he's left the company
Maiiviioth, So you're saying the captain intentionally jeopardized his relationship with PRS guitars? Use your head... And until you do a blindfold challenge yourself - you don't know anything.
Let's do remember it was based on 20 second samples, mate. I need far more than that to connect with a guitar, good or bad. Fun video, but there you have it :)
@Landslide 100% disagree. As I pointed out elsewhere, I have a Gibson LP Traditional in Wine, and a PRS Custom 24 in Charcoal Burst, and the PRS is FAR better looking. It's likely a matter of personal preference, because I had to look long and far to find an LP that didn't look like it sat in a smokey pawnshop for 30 years with the yellowed aging nicotine fade that they seem to put on 95% of them. If you're a guitar traditionalist, I can see why you might prefer the LP, but as a work of art, most of the PRS's I've seen are just gorgeous. I saw they actually did a display of PRS guitars at the Musical Instrument Museum to show how amazing some of them were.
Lee sweating bullets as he think of Paul R. Smith watching this... ..."That's it, pull all our stock from Andertons! And tell that f*&ker to send that Singlecut back to me pronto! It was a B-Stock anyhow..."
Dear people of Andertons: Blindfold Challenge. Fanned frets, true temperament frets and both combined(optional), evertune bridges and other stuff of that sort. Don't tell the guys in advance. You're welcome.
the big trends these past few years among artists is the use of Evertune bridges and Fishman Fluence pickups. I'd love to see some coverage of these technologies.
You should give him every guitar two times. Give him all of them once and then change the order and repeat. I think otherwise there will be Kind of a bias with grades going up in the course of the video. Also would be interesting to see if you guys will rate the same guitar in the same way both times :P
andrew buckley So true. What I found interesting is the initial top three were extremely close: 8.1, 8.1, 8 but Lee's L8LP was initially third, albeit by a whisker.
Yea, so we can have Lee sit there and try to guess which guitar he's holding instead of giving it an honest rating. That test was bullshit. He sat there and tried to guess the identities of the guitars by feel, and he obviously knows a Les Paul's shape, pick guard, etc. That's why he gave the Epiphone such a high score
Maybachs are cool guitars. Not to be compared with Epiphone or other overseas manufacfured. They are all with nitro finishes and highend components such as Amber and Kloppmann pickups.
Matthew Szerlag still works good. Stays in tune pretty well too. Even after it’s been like a week(?) or so I’ve played it. Probably cuz the last guy put chrome tuners on it instead of factory. Idk. But hey if it ain’t ur style man it ain’t ur style
The trick is to stretch the strings out when putting new ones on. I also find that tuning up a pitch and letting it sit like that overnight really helps. Stretching strings is always a good idea, but unlike strats, neck throughs and single cuts aren't as forgiving if you don't stretch them. Also, locking tuners are basically a must
blindfolding Lee is a great representation of what we might think of guitars if we didn't have our eyes. It contrasts with Chappers knowledge super well. When I watch Lee, I know he's going to mention all the things I would possibly look for in playability and tone. But watching Chappers is almost for pure entertainment. Great vids fam! Keep it up!
That test was bullshit. He sat there and tried to guess the identities of the guitars by feel, and he obviously knows a Les Paul's shape, pick guard, etc. That's why he gave the Epiphone such a high score.
I think they've got it wrong. Lee said that he didn't like the sound of the LTD. If he follows through on that excuse he could get himself out of a lot of hot water.
I've stumbled across a Maybach Lester 57 in a shop and cherry picked it over a dozen Les Pauls Standards, the hardware on it is fantastic and the amber pickups sounded better than anything else I've heard. A really good alternative brand to Gibson
In fairness for the PRS, Lee gave lower scores at the beginning and higher towards the end after he played the one ending up his favorite. So maybe this is just a trend due to the experiment.
Good vid. Maybe though you should have given Lee a LTD with Seymour Duncans or Fishman rather than EMG's seeing as he said previously he doesn't like the sound of them. Hence the 'It plays ok I don't really like the sound' comment. Very much looking forward to more of these though.
Just bought a Maybach Lester after directly comparing it to a Gibson '59 Les Paul and another Gibson LP priced at € 2700 . Not much difference to the '59 but much better then the other Gibson LP . The Maybach is great and anything but overpriced. I think personal taste plays an important role in the decisions.
Lol did he just said that the Maybach felt like a high end Epiphone ? Isn't it convenient that Gibson guitars score 2 out of 3 he likes the most..... All I have to say to this topic is : my guitar teacher is a really big snob when it comes to guitars and I bet he owns at least enough guitars to hit the 180k mark ( 10 of those said guitars are high end Gibsons) speaking of True Historic , CC and so on. Now the same person owns at least 5 Maybach guitars and told me he can barely tell any difference ( neither do I ) except that the relicing on Gibson still looks nicer in his opinion.....
8:47 - this is flawed. He should have gone through all guitars again and rated them again because it's apperent, that numbers went up in the course of testing!
yeah, he picks his own guitar in the end. Proof that he's used to playing Les Pauls and likes the feel. Most of us would do the same if we spend any time on our favorite.
When you are scoring on scale such as this that tends to happen. You see it all the time with teachers scoring students tests (hence they go back and review the first set of tests after then finish the full stack) OR you see it a lot in creative concept testing - in movies, advertising etc etc.
Love Lee but its a bit tiring playing context-less G and D chords all the time. Lee, you need to learn some music (with best intentions :) ) and apply it to your playing. Don't be afraid of music theory, its your friend!
What they should do is have Danish Pete play the guitars with same chords and riffs while Rob and lee and Pete are all blindfolded. They should also write their votes instead of saying score out loud until the end.
Time for the Dream Team : Danish Pete, Tom Quayle & Lee Wrathe. On the bench for additional humour: Paul Glover. Not one one-trick pony between them and all bases covered.
Completely disagree on the Maybach. We stock them here in Trondheim, every guitar they deliver is really, REALLY good, and they are incredibly popular! But, each to his own I guess! :)
A couple mistakes at the end: - the Gretsch did not score higher than the PRS. the Gretsch was a 5/10 and the PRS had 6.5-7/10. - the one that Lee didn't like the sound of was the LTD, not the PRS. he didn't say anything about the sound of the PRS. Either way, fun video. Editing is on point as always.
I don't absolutely think Maybach are comparable to high end epiphones. Maybach Lesters are ultra high quality and even relic, kind of a version of a custom shop gibson, for the price of a standard gibson.
Challenge suggestion... bring in an equal number of your personal guitars and while blind-folded, try to name that guitar - this is for both Rob and Lee...
I like the sound of the maybach lester but they weigh nothing in comparison to a Gibson, so they feel a bit weird. The maybach teles are the best teles ever (they feel like custom shop fenders). Haven't had the chance to try a stradovari maybach yet.
you should definitely get the maybachs. maybe this one isn't the right one for you but i've played several of them and they are all absolute gibson killers. same for the eastman les pauls. maybe eastman is even better then the maybach. check them out!
I owned a Gibson ‘52 Tribute, R8, R6 and a Collins 290, before I bought my Maybach. That’s a keeper for me. Love the neck, weight, pickups, and finish (gold).
Concearning the Maybach, I only have one of them and I have to say, I love it! I prefer it over my Gibson Les Paul Standard from 2017. Maybe I've ended up with a good one (no idea when it comes to consistency). I'm not a fan of the relic thing, but I'd still pick it up over my other high ends like the LP and my PRS.
My Maybach 59 Lester is better sounding and playing than any Custom Shop / Collectors Choice Les Paul I’ve owned and retails much less… stunning guitars
Maybach. I agree. They are super nice. I had one (I only play super strats these days). When I will get an LP again (bound to happen some day), Maybach is definitely on the top of my want list. They have a custom shop version too.
Lee's '58 is acually THE tone of a Les Paul. I've never heard any LP sounding better than his.... ...or does it just sound a bit like my significantly more affordable LP?
Please explore selling Eastman guitars. I’m sure you’ve heard from other people but these are extraordinary guitars. Their electric and acoustic lines. Their new solid bodies are spectacular - and fairly priced. And, no I am not a rep for them, I just own a few.
I posted this on another video, but you might be paying more attention to this one. You guys should do a review of the Ibanez AR420. For a cost of GBP529 ( www.andertons.co.uk/ibanez-ar420-vls-electric-guitar-in-dark-brown-sunburst ), and given its interesting switching (two super58 humbuckers, each with switching to make it wired in parallel, series or coil split) and its great aesthetics (burst, flamed bubinga top, rosewood board), it's well worth taking a look at, particularly as you look at some of the lower priced guitars from epiphone, prs, etc.
What's more interesting about this is the shift that occurs when something like a sense is impaired/removed. Contrast and compare to experiments with the way that perceptions of the taste of food vary according to different lighting, or colouration added. The way that wine experts were fooled by adding red dye to white wine, and describing it in all the terms that are usually used for reds. Humans are complicated things, and are fooled all to easily, when usual conditions are changed.
“Paul: Lee, the agreement you signed thinking it was shipment received when I gifted you this greatest guitar on earth that’s got to stay in tune and play in tune, stated any video featuring this perfect guitar shall be taughted as the best instrument in the milky way. Therefore sense you have decided to breach this contract, you are required to either A) ship the guitar back with all original equipment and pay a %25 restock fee. Or B) send us 5,000 quid. Thank you, PRS management.”
OMG, that intro music worried me that The Captain and Chappers were going to come dancing out from one side in grass skirts. Thank you so much for not subjecting me to that!!
I don't exactly like the sound of my favorite guitar. I like how versatile and durable it is, and I know how to make it sound good. Needs a refret too, which is a major part of why the sound isn't #1.
To be fair, playing a guitar for 15 seconds is hardly enough time to get a good feel for it whatsoever, especially if you’re not playing anything but chords down low on the neck...
I gotta say, the editing really makes these recent videos a bit more light-hearted and entertaining. Great vid guys
It's a shame, I never like the editing on these videos, in my opinion it's largely unnecessary.
Agreed
Just for the sake of clarity, I was agreeing with the OP, mainly due to namesakedness. But I do like the editing.
lol
That is Pete’s magic man!
6:31 tell me im not the only one that heard Rob's heart cracking like an old house's wooden floor...
Eric Valverde he looked broken for about 2 seconds didn’t he? Actually that was after the second play/broken string score. Good recovery though
It's awesome that they did not edited this video.. just to please Paul :) I have a PRS SC58 and a R9 Gibson: both absolutely great instruments, and one day my #1 is PRS, another Gibson. Gibson has always an instant good sound, but overall PRS is IMHO a slightly better and better made

Having owned 3 (still got one) and also both two R7, one R8 and an R9 as well as a CS Bonamassa aged LP, I honestly think Maybach matches them all. except the Bonamassa (which is the most stupid guitar sale I´ve ever made!).

"Please sir, may I have more than 20 seconds this time?"
Really enjoyed that vid guy's and so glad the capt picked his own gib lp
Why doesn't Andertons stock Vintage/fretking brands .... Were they stocked in the past [ Vintage ] but never sold or is not to his liking that brand .,,, ??? What chance is there to do a comparison video with a nik huber Orca 59 and Les Paul at the same price point .
At 8:55 did Pete say "This ones Gibson" while handing off the guitar??
I went Road Trippin' Around the World to the address Andertons Music shop is supposed to be located at and it was just a car park where I randomly found This Velvet Glove. They must be operating in a Parallel Universe and they've Easily found a way to take it on the Otherside. I tried to Get On Top of the situation but Fat Dance (bonus track) of that.
"Well, that's mine." roooooofl
You guys should make an episode featuring the guy who does the editing for your videos.
When I grow up I wanna be like Andertons editors 😂😂😂
The Captain meets - Robin Trower. (sorted)
Let’s see Danish Pete do the same blindfold challenge!!
5:25 you are in she said lol
the chapman sounds more like of an less heavy sg than a les paul
Where was the schecter solo?!
I guess Lee likes A Chords, G Chords, D Chords and the A pentatonic.. xD
Blindfold Challenge for Marshall-type sounding amps. Some tube, some digital. Can they pick out the real Marshall?
Receptionist at Andertons: Hello, Andertons.
Paul Reed Smith: Is The F##king Captain in?
Receptionist: One moment, I´ll see if he's in.
The Captain: *last seen running for the door*
Receptionist: Sorry Paul, he's left the company
Likes the epiphone better than the prs. Top 10 anime betrayals
Matas G maybe because he likes thicker necks?
ky99999999 it's a joke dude
It does makes sense because of lee liking the older style Les pauls necks.
The PRS has the newer style.
Bum YourNan yeah, i know that obvious joke, but just trying to come up with some practical reasoning
Interesting video. Through a different amp and pedal the guitars will sound different and so would the PRS.
Don’t let Paul (PRS) see this video. He might want to take his gift back.
Larry Wilson Jr was thinking the same thing. That's gonna leave a mark lol
Let's see the scores after he plays for an hour blindfolded. One of the common gripes is the Les Pauls do not stay in tune while the PRS guitars do.
It takes about 2 seconds to tell a gibson/epiphone from a PRS with just your right forearm resting on the body. I'm not sure I buy this A/B.
Maiiviioth, So you're saying the captain intentionally jeopardized his relationship with PRS guitars?
Use your head...
And until you do a blindfold challenge yourself - you don't know anything.
Let's do remember it was based on 20 second samples, mate. I need far more than that to connect with a guitar, good or bad. Fun video, but there you have it :)
Also that was the best, most appropriate “that’s what she said” I’ve heard in a long time.
Perfect timing. Came out of nowhere yet it was absolutely needed
yes made me laugh so hard!!!!!!
which one? the 20 seconds one or the "you're in"?
The PRS got at ‘6.5/7 maybe’ score. The LTD got a 6.8. The PRS was later quoted to have received a 5......woops?
+
@Scarpa96 Try looking at the PRS S2 Singlecut Faded Blue Smokeburst and tell me if they look gross.
@Landslide 100% disagree. As I pointed out elsewhere, I have a Gibson LP Traditional in Wine, and a PRS Custom 24 in Charcoal Burst, and the PRS is FAR better looking. It's likely a matter of personal preference, because I had to look long and far to find an LP that didn't look like it sat in a smokey pawnshop for 30 years with the yellowed aging nicotine fade that they seem to put on 95% of them.

I saw they actually did a display of PRS guitars at the Musical Instrument Museum to show how amazing some of them were.
shoutout to whoever edits these videos, you crack me up at least once (most often a good couple times) every video I watch.
Simon Vercoe Rory is the best, undeniably!!
Rory is awesome.
Lee sweating bullets as he think of Paul R. Smith watching this...
..."That's it, pull all our stock from Andertons! And tell that f*&ker to send that Singlecut back to me pronto! It was a B-Stock anyhow..."
Dear people of Andertons:
Blindfold Challenge.
Fanned frets,
true temperament frets
and both combined(optional),
evertune bridges
and other stuff of that sort.
Don't tell the guys in advance.
You're welcome.
the big trends these past few years among artists is the use of Evertune bridges and Fishman Fluence pickups. I'd love to see some coverage of these technologies.
Dig it... Passed on...
yes to this
Lee is going to hate an Evertune. You can't do bends or vibrato.
Andertons Music Co Awesome! Looking forward to see the video!
You should give him every guitar two times.
Give him all of them once and then change the order and repeat.
I think otherwise there will be Kind of a bias with grades going up in the course of the video.
Also would be interesting to see if you guys will rate the same guitar in the same way both times :P
Well, we know Lee's favourite chord progression.. 😂
The Glorious, and ever-working A chord. Lee’s signature move.
Haven’t even watched the video yet
Strong, familiar, easy to make comparisons with. Makes sense to me.
I dream about that chord progression every time I watch a video
Lee starter pack:
- More than a feeling
- Funk 49
- Oddly specific decimals
never connected that lick with Funk 49, now I can't unhear it
Every time, and I ain’t complainin
Isn't it amazing how we listen with our eyes, we're all a little bit gear snobbish
andrew buckley
So true.
What I found interesting is the initial top three were extremely close: 8.1, 8.1, 8
but Lee's L8LP was initially third, albeit by a whisker.
He played each guitar for about twenty seconds and played a few chords each time. This vid proves nothing.
bottomline is find the guitar/bass you like...
I don't on anything i buy, i look at guitars as a piece of blank wood, because i just re paint time.. Same as in firearms..
+Alex Janmo
My £400 fender tele has a quality nothing else I own possesses.
Lee's face when he realized he admitted to not liking his PRS is just amazing
More blindfold challenges!
NickRS600 yes!
Yes yes !
Yea, so we can have Lee sit there and try to guess which guitar he's holding instead of giving it an honest rating. That test was bullshit. He sat there and tried to guess the identities of the guitars by feel, and he obviously knows a Les Paul's shape, pick guard, etc. That's why he gave the Epiphone such a high score
Maybachs are cool guitars. Not to be compared with Epiphone or other overseas manufacfured. They are all with nitro finishes and highend components such as Amber and Kloppmann pickups.
Very true I own a Maybach Lester a wonderful guitar Gibson Custom shop quality for Standard price point
I own a Maybach Lester too, it is great! Great feel and the quality is superb. Only weights 3.6kg (7lb and 15oz)
"Lee's LP85"? I thought it was supposed to be a '58 :P
And in true single cut fashion, they’re all out off tune after a few seconds
Cornelius Larsen which is why I’ll stick to my sg😂
@@camdero3294 yeah because that's SO different
WTF are you talking about? I have a single cut Charvel that refuses to be not in tune. Maybe you should visit a guitar tech.
Matthew Szerlag still works good. Stays in tune pretty well too. Even after it’s been like a week(?) or so I’ve played it. Probably cuz the last guy put chrome tuners on it instead of factory. Idk. But hey if it ain’t ur style man it ain’t ur style

When I watch Lee, I know he's going to mention all the things I would possibly look for in playability and tone. But watching Chappers is almost for pure entertainment. Great vids fam! Keep it up!
"You are in she said" - Captain @ 5:25
"Thats what she said" - whisper voice @ 8:50
Someone please buy these guys a guitar tuner! Love the video, but dam!
The gibson style headstock is just a bad design.
Haha, Captain Lee trashing his own PRS was priceless!
I think he has always had a subtle dislike for that guitar but could never give his true opinion as it was a gift.
I think it's very different type of guitar so it will stand out as different in the middle of all Les pauls
That test was bullshit. He sat there and tried to guess the identities of the guitars by feel, and he obviously knows a Les Paul's shape, pick guard, etc. That's why he gave the Epiphone such a high score.
I tried a 594 single cut and it was terrible. But they aren’t all terrible, so maybe he has one that doesn’t suit him?
I think they've got it wrong. Lee said that he didn't like the sound of the LTD. If he follows through on that excuse he could get himself out of a lot of hot water.
Please do a demo/review of that Maybach Lester ASAP!!! Maybe compared to Lee's reissue Les Paul.
I've stumbled across a Maybach Lester 57 in a shop and cherry picked it over a dozen Les Pauls Standards, the hardware on it is fantastic and the amber pickups sounded better than anything else I've heard. A really good alternative brand to Gibson
Gents, on the continent Maybachs are a good €1000 cheaper than a Gibson LP Standard.
I own a Maybach Lester a wonderful guitar close to Gibson custom quality at less than half the price
Would love to see where a Japanese Tokai would come in this kind of test. Love mine
In fairness for the PRS, Lee gave lower scores at the beginning and higher towards the end after he played the one ending up his favorite. So maybe this is just a trend due to the experiment.
PRS fanboys upset.
A short poem by Rory McLean - Beautiful
bruv dat is sikh
Good vid. Maybe though you should have given Lee a LTD with Seymour Duncans or Fishman rather than EMG's seeing as he said previously he doesn't like the sound of them. Hence the 'It plays ok I don't really like the sound' comment. Very much looking forward to more of these though.
Funky Monkey1886 never know unless you try
Just bought a Maybach Lester after directly comparing it to a Gibson '59 Les Paul and another Gibson LP priced at € 2700 . Not much difference to the '59 but much better then the other Gibson LP . The Maybach is great and anything but overpriced. I think personal taste plays an important role in the decisions.
Maybach is great! Please do a Maybach vs Gibson video!
Aart Smith Oh god, yes please!
Yesssss!
Lol did he just said that the Maybach felt like a high end Epiphone ? Isn't it convenient that Gibson guitars score 2 out of 3 he likes the most..... All I have to say to this topic is : my guitar teacher is a really big snob when it comes to guitars and I bet he owns at least enough guitars to hit the 180k mark ( 10 of those said guitars are high end Gibsons) speaking of True Historic , CC and so on. Now the same person owns at least 5 Maybach guitars and told me he can barely tell any difference ( neither do I ) except that the relicing on Gibson still looks nicer in his opinion.....
I own a Maybach Lester wonderful guitar Gibson custom quality for Standard price
My next guitar will be a Reverend :-)
Georges Braun nice! I've got my eye on the Little Crow Raven guitar
Zach Smith I‘m lefty so joice is limited...but they have a small range.
I played a USA made Reverend a long time ago, loved it and always regretted not buying it. I’ll be looking at them again after this.
That neck position sounded great.
I love mine so much!
I would not buy a 1600GBP les Paul copy. Just an opinion for your data.
8:47 - this is flawed. He should have gone through all guitars again and rated them again because it's apperent, that numbers went up in the course of testing!
Of course, it's flawed. I don't think going through twice would add much credibility to the test (20 seconds to play!). These vids are just good fun.
Going through all of them would confirm the score
yeah, he picks his own guitar in the end. Proof that he's used to playing Les Pauls and likes the feel. Most of us would do the same if we spend any time on our favorite.
i feel he gave the gretsch a 5 because it was the first guitar and that is half the top mark
I've noticed in these videos that the scoring becomes more favourable the further into the selection they are.
When you are scoring on scale such as this that tends to happen. You see it all the time with teachers scoring students tests (hence they go back and review the first set of tests after then finish the full stack) OR you see it a lot in creative concept testing - in movies, advertising etc etc.
Love Lee but its a bit tiring playing context-less G and D chords all the time. Lee, you need to learn some music (with best intentions :) ) and apply it to your playing. Don't be afraid of music theory, its your friend!
The way Chappers was stabbing at the input jack with the cables made me vomit in my mouth a little
i think the gretsch was the best soundng and only scored bad because it was first
"I'm so conscious as to not feel hardware, or anything for that matter" So, the complete opposite of Rob doing a blindfold challenge then.......
What they should do is have Danish Pete play the guitars with same chords and riffs while Rob and lee and Pete are all blindfolded. They should also write their votes instead of saying score out loud until the end.
Time for the Dream Team : Danish Pete, Tom Quayle & Lee Wrathe. On the bench for additional humour: Paul Glover. Not one one-trick pony between them and all bases covered.
Completely disagree on the Maybach.
We stock them here in Trondheim, every guitar they deliver is really, REALLY good, and they are incredibly popular! But, each to his own I guess! :)
13:28 Rob became Scottish for a split second there
Really love the fact that Lee was just guenuinely honest about his answers. Think it says a lot about the feel of the different guitars.
That maybach Was awesome !
A couple mistakes at the end:
- the Gretsch did not score higher than the PRS. the Gretsch was a 5/10 and the PRS had 6.5-7/10.
- the one that Lee didn't like the sound of was the LTD, not the PRS. he didn't say anything about the sound of the PRS.
Either way, fun video. Editing is on point as always.
I don't absolutely think Maybach are comparable to high end epiphones.
Maybach Lesters are ultra high quality and even relic, kind of a version of a custom shop gibson, for the price of a standard gibson.
PRS - 6.5
Epiphone - 7.4
*Wait, that's illegal!*
The biggest thing I learned from this video is I hate the way EMGs sound. Oh and I need that Reverend
the real message of this video: Les Pauls can't hold tune for a distance of 5 feet.
Challenge suggestion... bring in an equal number of your personal guitars and while blind-folded, try to name that guitar - this is for both Rob and Lee...
I like the sound of the maybach lester but they weigh nothing in comparison to a Gibson, so they feel a bit weird. The maybach teles are the best teles ever (they feel like custom shop fenders). Haven't had the chance to try a stradovari maybach yet.
I really like the Maybach guitars. I think you get better value for money buying one of those than a Gibson or Fender USA
you should definitely get the maybachs. maybe this one isn't the right one for you but i've played several of them and they are all absolute gibson killers. same for the eastman les pauls. maybe eastman is even better then the maybach. check them out!
If Maybach has the same level of a good epiphone guitar, please sell it at the same price please, and let me know... Hahahaha
I owned a Gibson ‘52 Tribute, R8, R6 and a Collins 290, before I bought my Maybach. That’s a keeper for me. Love the neck, weight, pickups, and finish (gold).
Concearning the Maybach,
I only have one of them and I have to say, I love it! I prefer it over my Gibson Les Paul Standard from 2017.
Maybe I've ended up with a good one (no idea when it comes to consistency). I'm not a fan of the relic thing, but I'd still pick it up over my other high ends like the LP and my PRS.
I've owned and played multiple Maybach Lesters. They all have been great.
I own a Maybach Lester Gibson custom quality for Standard price a wonderful guitar
I own a Maybach Lester too, it is great! Great feel and the quality is superb. Only weights 3.6kg (7lb and 15oz)
My Maybach 59 Lester is better sounding and playing than any Custom Shop / Collectors Choice Les Paul I’ve owned and retails much less… stunning guitars
Well the mayback looks beautiful
Maybach. I agree. They are super nice. I had one (I only play super strats these days). When I will get an LP again (bound to happen some day), Maybach is definitely on the top of my want list.
They have a custom shop version too.
The sound is great as well. I do have a Teleman 54 and it is perfect.
I have no doubts about that, meneer Middelhuis.
Please stock maybachs I'll buy one!!!
Lee's '58 is acually THE tone of a Les Paul. I've never heard any LP sounding better than his....
...or does it just sound a bit like my significantly more affordable LP?
Please explore selling Eastman guitars. I’m sure you’ve heard from other people but these are extraordinary guitars. Their electric and acoustic lines. Their new solid bodies are spectacular - and fairly priced. And, no I am not a rep for them, I just own a few.
Too bad he played it on overpriced piece of...victory
The Gretsch is by far the best looking!
Maybach is a Top Notch Epi?? That is a EUR 2000 Guitar - all hand made...
I posted this on another video, but you might be paying more attention to this one. You guys should do a review of the Ibanez AR420. For a cost of GBP529 ( www.andertons.co.uk/ibanez-ar420-vls-electric-guitar-in-dark-brown-sunburst ), and given its interesting switching (two super58 humbuckers, each with switching to make it wired in parallel, series or coil split) and its great aesthetics (burst, flamed bubinga top, rosewood board), it's well worth taking a look at, particularly as you look at some of the lower priced guitars from epiphone, prs, etc.
What's more interesting about this is the shift that occurs when something like a sense is impaired/removed. Contrast and compare to experiments with the way that perceptions of the taste of food vary according to different lighting, or colouration added. The way that wine experts were fooled by adding red dye to white wine, and describing it in all the terms that are usually used for reds. Humans are complicated things, and are fooled all to easily, when usual conditions are changed.
“Paul: Lee, the agreement you signed thinking it was shipment received when I gifted you this greatest guitar on earth that’s got to stay in tune and play in tune, stated any video featuring this perfect guitar shall be taughted as the best instrument in the milky way. Therefore sense you have decided to breach this contract, you are required to either A) ship the guitar back with all original equipment and pay a %25 restock fee. Or B) send us 5,000 quid. Thank you, PRS management.”
likes the epiphone better than the prs
tyler larson has entered the chat
Lee's a funk 49/ more than a feeling kind of guy, I'm gathering
I would say there's probably an "earwax on the day" factor that should be considered too !!!
OMG, that intro music worried me that The Captain and Chappers were going to come dancing out from one side in grass skirts. Thank you so much for not subjecting me to that!!
I need to see full review Maybach vs. Reverend vs. Gretsch vs. Epiphone.
I don't exactly like the sound of my favorite guitar. I like how versatile and durable it is, and I know how to make it sound good. Needs a refret too, which is a major part of why the sound isn't #1.
Whoever does your editing deserves a medal. Consistently cracks me up xD
17:25 was hilarious
To be fair, playing a guitar for 15 seconds is hardly enough time to get a good feel for it whatsoever, especially if you’re not playing anything but chords down low on the neck...
But would you watch a 2-hour video of this, and would they sit there with blindfolds for 2 hours?
That gratis PRS that PRS gave to Lee is being recalled tout de suite
17:25 LOL
“Fake so fake”( angry typing guy) 🥴
ill never forget the chapters with the googly eyes on his glasses lol
this videos are AWESOME and the eating is even more KILLER!
