I love the fact that you compared an epiphone explorer to the 335 and the Theodore… On the mix, the 3 were sounding on the same range but the epi being at least $700USD cheaper than the theodore and a lot more than the 335. Both Epi and Gibson are making beautiful and great guitars recently! Excellent video!!

Thanks so much and appreciate your thoughts here!

I like the Theo...6 in line tuners usually stay in tune better than 3+3, layout of controls is perfect, 1 volume + 1 tone is all you need, fret access in higher range looks good. Probably light weight and comfortable. Top pointy horn could cause some liver or rib damage, but other than that, looks like a solid guitar. The folks in China are no doubt working on a Chibson version, but the cost of the real thing sounds reasonable to me.

I could definitely pick out the 335 during the blindfold test. Honestly I like the original CS Theodore they introduced, but I’m not as crazy about the Original series model with tune-o-matic and LP inlays.

[@Gibsunday]

It’s got a specific sound, right?! I can see that. I liked the original appointments a little better too, but I’m still a fan.

[@jacobbond835]

Great video. Well thought out. Well put together. The Theodore is a neat guitar. Hopefully it sticks around in the lineup.

Guitar number 2 was my favorite and I thought it was the explorer at first.

[@blueslawyermemes7958]

With the band mix, it's virtually impossible to distinguish between guitars. This is the fact of life that guitarists choose to ignore every day.

[@pitmezzari2873]

Most guitarists will never hear their guitar in a band mix, either because they don't play in a band, or they only take their old beater guitar to gigs because they're scared of damaging the Core PRS they had to sell their kids for.

great video man!

[@Gibsunday]

Thanks homie!

Am I weird? The single most important thing to me is the "feel". Are Teles attractive? Hell no. "toilet seats with a handle" pretty much sums up my feelings about the Tele aesthetic. Strats? Seriously? Nothing aesthetic about a Strat design. Very ergonomic though.

[@Gibsunday]

Honestly, I love this take. Now I need to know, what's your favorite guitar, aesthetically?

[@Relayer6a]

@@Gibsunday Well, I don't have a single guitar, but some worth mentioning are Alembic, Lava Drops, and Minarik. All very boutique brands, of course. "Regular" brands I like custom shop Gibsons. "Fender" type guitars I like Suhr. Knaggs, Duesenberg, Framus are all beautiful too. I'm NOT a relic person at all.
