Gibson Les Paul Traditional with 57 Classics vs Upgraded Epiphone Les Paul with USA Burstbuckers This video is a sound comparison of a Gibson Les Paul with 57 classic pickups vs a factory upgraded Epiphone Les Paul, the Bonamassa Signature with USA Burstbuckers, a #2 in the neck position and #3 in the bridge. I play the same riff throughout so you can judge the sound, not the playing. I start with the acoustic sound of the guitar, then all three pickup positions with some overdrive then all three pickup position with a clean amp that is a bit louder. I finish up by playing a verse of "Stormy Monday" in the middle position on both guitars.
