Famous guitars sound comparison. Guitarbank session 

I like these kinds of comparisons where there’s just quick snips of each guitar instead of 4 minutes of talking in between each comparison

Finally a good compare video without playing every guitar different.

Everyone crying there's no tele I'm crying because i can't aford any of those guitars :(

ROUND ONE (Clean tone strumming) 0:09 - Gibson Les Paul 0:16 - Fender Stratocaster 0:23 - PRS Custom 22 0:29 - Ernie Ball Music Man Axis 0:36 - Rickenbacker 330 0:43 - Gretsch Falcon 0:50 - Ibanez RG Prestige 0:57 - Jackson RR ROUND TWO (Clean tone fingerpicking) 1:07 - Gibson Les Paul 1:18 - Fender Stratocaster 1:29 - PRS Custom 22 1:39 - Ernie Ball Music Man Axis 1:50 - Rickenbacker 330 2:01 - Gretsch Falcon 2:12 - Ibanez RG Prestige 2:22 - Jackson RR ROUND THREE (Overdriven) 2:38 - Gibson Les Paul 2:47 - Fender Stratocaster 2:55 - PRS Custom 22 3:04 - Ernie Ball Music Man Axis 3:13 - Rickenbacker 330 3:22 - Gretsch Falcon 3:30 - Ibanez RG Prestige 3:39 - Jackson RR

I think this may be the first time I've seen a Jackson being played without heavy distortion.

no tele ok fine whatever i'm not crying silently wishing there were a tele

Love that you played roughly the SAME THING on each guitar, for a perfect comparison. Far too often ppl will play completely different things on each, making a comparison (especially for new players) difficult at best. Bonus points for different styles showcased + clearly identifying each model!

Was surprised by how good Rickenbacker sounds through Marshall

nothing like a clean strat and a crunchy les paul. one of each, please!

Tele and something with P90 is greatly missed.

Les Paul and Strat are all I need to cover every sound I want. And man, that expensive PRS was a disappointment.

Therapist: don't worry, LoFi Randy Rhoads isn't real, it can't hurt you. LoFi Randy Rhoads:

one of the best videos I've seen on topic... no intro, no need for "this i Gibson...." just great playing and "see for yourself" attitude. Great job

everyone: no Tele, that's sad me: no SG, that's sad

The Rickenbacker surprisingly had the cleanest sound among all of the single coils (to my ears) and the Les Paul was the best sounding among the humbucker group. The Grestch Falcon distorted was just downright badass and the Les Paul again. Just killer.

I'm whispering this so Music Is Win doesn't hear this, but I think the PRS sounded the worst. By far. Like it sounded shittttt- oh no he found me

He played that Randy Rhoads Jackson the forbidden way

The strat is the king of funk.

With the rickenbacker, I hear the crunch but also the finesse of the tone. I'm probably hearing what I want to hear

Everyone: Where's Tele, SG and Jazzmaster? Me: Where is Padmé? Is she safe? Is she alright?

The Strat is the only one that sounds fundamentally different. Although I am surprised to say it I really like the sound of the Music Man Axis

I found rickenbacker 330 sound uniquely different from other guitar sound and i love it!

That Gretsch sounds badass with a ton of overdrive.

The PRS custom was something special-sounded great clean, but it’s overdrive overtones just had a great chaotic feel.

Every time I hear the Strat, I always think of John Frusciante

I don’t know why, but I love the Les Paul’s sound

This really clarified for me why the Strat and the Les Paul are so popular. With dirty tones I like the les Paul but for clean I like the Strat.

The most spirited and appreciated guitar video ever

They sound great, but my heart lies on that Strat's bright neck pickup sound

The way he sits with the Randy rhoads triggers me.

Thank you for the consistent playing it’s so hard to find

I'm glad to see this type of comparison. I've seen others make an attempt at comparing guitars and they failed terribly. Thank you and God bless you.

The Ernie Ball Music Man grabbed me in every use; great clarity in the sound that I wasn't expecting.

Music man sounds awesome in both clean and distortion! but Jackson sounds better with distortion on

this was EXACTLY the type of comparison video i've been searching for - thank you!! and incredible playing, job very well done!

That was beautiful. What a great way to compare them. Thanks

That gretsch sounded amazing with distortion on it. Ricky was my fave for clean but the strat sounded good everywhere tbh

The coolest guitar demo video I've seen.

Such a great video, exactly what I’ve been looking for. More! MORE!

Loooove that Video!!! The playing amazes me, but what I love too is that the things he played are something I love to listen to. It’s so good. Combine that with the lighting plus cutting... damn thank you

Fender & Gretsch my favorites ❤️

I was impressed by the Ernie Ball

Awesome Video. Best comparison I've ever seen, tbh. Also I love the first tune and the way you play. Well done! Love it!

That Les Paul still sounds the best overall with crunch on.

The Music Man sounds amazing. Definitely my fav out of these guitars. Rickenbacher is also awesome though

Very cool how having those various tone colors allows you to take your song arrangements to the next level

Love how you jump to the contents straightaway!

Overall best impression: Musicman! Devided on clean and distorted: Clean: Strat! Distorted: Gibson.

3:48 Oh shit I thought that was coming out through the phone instead of the headphones

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

Having played at least one form of every one these guitars, takeaways: I'm really reminded why the Les Paul has all the renown that it does and holy cow, the Gretsch sounded stupid good with distortion, way better than I remember them sounding.

rickenbacker is just such an amazing guitar.

Can't take my ears off the Les Paul and the Strat.

Amazing playing, enjoyable video, great editing, eye candy.

Ricky has a great clean tone

There's just something about that Rickenbacker sound that I love. I'm going to save up for one 😊

The MusicMan was consistently good. The Ibanez was far more impressive than I expected.

I immediately subbed because instead of some long, drawn out introduction you GOT STRAIGHT TO THE FUCKING POINT! Thank you! Need more RU-vidrs like you!

This is by far the best elec guitar comparison video ever made. This was my 50th time watching it kkk

Everyone: where is the Tele? Some: where is the SG as well? Me: where is the Jazzmaster? Jaguar?

Oh no, the last time I watched one of these (the Famous Bass Guitars comparison video) I bought a Thunderbird.

Thank you for not making a useless intro and directly go straight to the point ❤️

Great JOB man!!! Cool video!

This needs a part two and probably three as well - SO many tonal variables here...

Was it just me, or was the PRS a bit muddy sounding? Especially compared to the Les Paul.

Crazy how deep the PRS neck pickup is. Sounds otherworldly.

Really nice video, well played sir.

Not going to lie, I know very little about guitars but that Strat sounds pretty wicked.

Best combo (boring recommendation?) is: Stratocaster & Les Paul

1:07 OMG! what a wonderful riff!!

OMG Great Video. Made me think of how in this crazy modern Guitar World how much I still LOVE an old "Tobacco Burst Fender"... They're an ageless beauty.

OMG the Rickenbacker guitar sounds so fabulous in any style !Thanks for this great comparison !

I think the Gretsch was the best sounding for all of the bits played. Sounds like a very versatile guitar.

Nice concept to compare each brands. Well done!

I loved the Grestch Falcon sound!!!! Sounds so vintage compared to the others and I lover that

I liked the Jackson, Strat, and Gretch. Sadly I was a little dissapointed hearing that PRS.

how come this has only 8k views? What a BRILLIANT video! Both regarding concept and editing. Subscribed!!

well done man sick video

Mate, that is most amazing comparison, no time waisting for 15min. You are gos on video making, keep going that way.

Nothing has more fuller sound than Les Paul. It's just so good even withouta backing track

impossible to choose, every change i was like “no, this one is the best...”

They all sound great and have their own tone. That said, it’s clear there’s a reason why the Strat has stood the test of time and is still so popular. It’s tone truly is unique and perfect for what it does.

What a bloody good video! 👍

PRS sounds muffled and too bassy for me even with distortion

Hard to say. For me, the clean tones sounded better on the single coil strat and on the Gretch. Overdriven tones, on the PRS and Ibanez. Overall, that Music Man, outstanding

MusicMan it's so good to listen!

I'm glad you included the George Harrison rickenbacker 330

When I think about guitar!! The First image the come in my head is a Fender Stratocaster!

Srry but that MUSIC MAN is in another level

The Music Man was the surprise package for mine. Wasn't expecting much from it but it made a strong impression.

Great demo. Specially because you can hear all the basic differences between the guitars.

There are two types of 'shootout's that make sense in comparing guitars somewhat fairly - this is one of them. Question 1: What do they sound like when we play them as much the same as possible through the same settings on the same amp. That's what we have here. Useful. Question 2: Since each guitar has multiple differing characteristics from each other that will inspire different playing techniques and styles - even implying the need for different amps - What is the sonic and physical differences when we play them as they tend to be best at. Accepting that we can really use any instrument any way we want to, they really do have different areas where they tend to shine more here or there. Also useful, but in a different way. Between the two comparisons, a player can get a really good idea of what guitars might suit them more for different ways of playing.

Oh how much I love hollows. To me Rickenbacker and Falcon are both up there, Les Paul right behind them. Wish there was a 335/Sheraton tho. I'm convinced that semi-hollows are one to rule all

A great video. Thank you.

This is definitely the best way I have seen to compare unbiased guitar sound.

this might possibly be the best comparison I've seen thus far.

By far the best guitar vídeo in RU-vid. Please do more of these

the way you held that Jackson...sacrilegious, bro.

Gosh! Loved that Falcon!

I love rickenbacker 330 sounds.. very bright clarity
