Little do most people know that the solo of "Stairway to Heaven" was actually originally recorded by Jimmy Page using his Telecaster. It was only during live performances where he used other guitars. As the saying goes, "Nothing has sold more Les Pauls than Jimmy Page's Telecaster."

[@ryyyyy2010]

really like the comparison bro, keep it up. Hope to see more comparison in the future

[@hijdjf2961]

The ES 335 sounded surprisingly good in classic metal.

[@davidmarcos1692]

Mad respect to sir for putting up this great video. I can’t imagine the time and effort you spent filming this. 👍👍👍 My personal takes: Always has been a les Paul fan, Tele as a second choice. But… that PRS really ticks all the boxes for me as a desert island guitar. The RG came in as a one trick metal guitar pony but held its own against the others in terms of versatility.

[@jasoninocencio7422]

Great guitar skills, very greatful for this video, mad effort, please make another one. Thank you.

[@elly756]

I own an Ibanez Jem, and it does really well for what it's made for, but the PRS sounds nice in every genre, it is very versatile.

[@chuckstrut]

When I saw the title I was thinking every guitar has there own playability for the type of music. I was wrong. Great video it's my first time on your channel, I hope to see alot more from you thanks.

[@ejvalguna]

Nice one, Pax! Napaka-creative ng concept mo dito. Sa sobrang galing at creative, nabuhay yung gas ko for a strat! 😂 The highlight for me is the stairway to heaven solo using the telecaster. Napaka-iconic na tunog and great playing on your side.

[@nathanieljohnjuanani665]

Love this content, it helps me a lot. Now I know what guitar to buy that fits my tone preference. Thanks Pax! Great work!

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Awwww. you are welcome!!!

[@SlashPrince]

Great video pax.. so far isa to sa pinaka best guitar comparison video napanood ko.. clean tone - telecaster/jazzmaster, distortion - les paul/ibanez for me..

[@irwinb.galino445]

... lovely comparison vid, Pax. Agree ako sa choice mo with PRS. In my case, malayo pa ako sa skill and versatility sa guitars (bassist kasi ako firstly) pero you opened my eyes in investing on a PRS in my learning journey. Kasi at least I could have one guitar to try most tones (and technique) unique to most genres. Siguro down the road, kung masettle na yung "genre + tone" ko overall, I might get another one to complement that specifically. Better yet, hold on to the PRS and my money. 😁 Salamat!

[@gifterdeon7327]

Halimaw ka talaga Pax. Ikaw na talaga ang pinaka (dugtungan mo na lang ng kahit anong adjective tungkol sa pagkagitarista.) To be honest, wala talaga akong nakasalubong na gitarista, virtual or otherwise na kasing galing at kasing talino mo. Sana ma-meet kita one day, para jamming tayo!

[@raymartzaballa9045]

PRS! ❤ Thank you sa napaka gandang comparison sir! kahit di pa ko nakapag try ng isa sa mga yan. Iba pala talaga PRS grabe! 🤟🏻

[@ellardpineda]

Love the vid, Pax! Good shit man!

[@wolfy_moto]

Nice comparison! But what stand out to me is the tone of the telecaster on texas blues! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gianlorenzo8104]

All guitars are superb but the PRS nailed it due to its versatility 💯

[@caycanilloii7614]

PRS indeed a versatile guitar. 👍

[@gievillarin]

agree!

[@mondvlogph]

@@gievillarin Kht itapat mo sa naka Floyd, PRS Can Do The Same Stuff that Strat Can't Achieved. Pwede gawing Floating Pero Special ang Tremolo Bridge ni PRS na di tinulad sa Stratocaster, kht pa sa 1987 Produced 2 Point System ng Strat. PRS's Tremolo Bridge is still Superb, Even Compared to Ernie Ball Majesty for John Petrucci.

[@MindanaoHacker]

Parang ayaw ko yung mukha ng prs but the tone walang makakatalo talaga ang ganda

[@mondvlogph]

@@MindanaoHacker may knia knia talaga tayong shape preference but as Production Pickups, PRS Pinaka Lamang sa lahat. Perfect Piece as All Stock.

[@jrmyg1621]

70th like! Hoping you could try a Gretch! The Filtertron pickups have a lot of clarity and cuts through the mix very well

[@wernhervoncervillon4655]

Sobrang helpful netong tone comparison na to para sa tulad kong naghahanap ng right guitar to buy!! Decided na talaga ako for PRS THANK YOUUUUU!!

[@ArnDelaCruz]

11:53 naging Tele yung Jazz hahahah labyu pax! all in all, talagang nasa preference parin ng player kung ano sa tingin nya yung babagay sa tinutugtog nya. For me nag-standout talaga sakin yung Strat, PRS, and Jazzmas. medjo nagustuhan ko rin tonality ng ES-335. Pero for someone like me na wala pang sariling gitara, this video helped a lot kung ano talaga yung pipiliin ko for me (and yung kasunod na bibilhin HAHAHAHA) More power po lodi and more shanghai!

[@rebelnroll5480]

More of this sir! Pedals naman. Nice content and awsome guitar playing.

[@Kingepres]

sobrang quality ng content nito!!! bigyan mo ng 1yr channel nito mag boboom ng sobra. salamat sa mataas na quality ng content sir!

[@EJandLesh]

Me and I wife just bought my first guitar yesterday, a PRS CE 24. Super thanks sa video na to ndi nahirapan makapagdecide. Huli lahat ng PRS ung tones na gusto kong tugtugin. Very versatile. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Elyr...]

WOOOOOO was at 19east when this dropped!!!! So nice to meet you sir!!!!

[@jayentera1617]

galing! iba-iba talaga tunog each guitar kala ko dati walang factor sa tunog ang porma pero meron pala talaga yung LP warm pala talaga yung tunog halos lahat magaganda dpende sa style at gusto mo talaga gawin tunog, gandang benchmark nito. .

[@mikechesterisrael]

Nice content as always, idol Pax! 🤘🤩 Keep rockin' po

[@ryl-tv.7425]

Glad to see this comparison vedio, it helps me a lot sir Pax in knowing the versatility of any of this guitar,, but base on my opinion the prs custom 24 nailed it!

[@locar12]

PAX, this is the video most guitarists need! Galing ng mga comparisons and pagkakastich ng clips. Enjoyed most sa Classic metal 🤘🏽😀 Btw, pls correct me if i'm wrong, hindi ba Tele yung benchmark sa Classic Rock? 😀 Keep rocking, man!

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

HAHAHA. U KNOW IT. 😁 Sa Classic Rock, the tone was secretly tweaked to fit both Tele and LP, kasi Stairway was said to be recorded with a Tele.

[@mickolaureta3658]

Langka ka talaga sir pax! Galinng mo sobra! 💯🙌

[@rlim915]

the player(PAX) ,PRS, tele, and strat thank you for the educational comparison sir!

[@ronmanalo5001]

Bro. Ramdam ko yun ngiti at kilig mo sa PRS Custom 24 when you played Pride and Joy!

[@jeff4r533]

Nicee, I needed this because kasi bibili ako ng bagong guitar but nalilito anong klase ang kunin XD

[@JoshuaCasupang]

please do a video pros and cons between analog pedals and multi fx pedals!

[@Parasyte14]

solid vid/content as always. Love you sir Pax!

[@leandrolastimoso6321]

Can't wait!!!

[@LlywiRipper]

I think pickups din ang may pinaka malaking impluwensya sa tones. If papakinggan nyo po yung mga guitars na with single coils medyo bright yung mga tunog nila at yung may mga humbuckers naman, medyo close yung tones nila kung overdriven naman.

[@angeloguillermo9090]

Galing sir may best guitar tlga n pra s genre n trip mo tugtugin & ung PRS hanep tlga un tnxs sir!!!!! More power to you.......

[@acronnody8115]

Thank you sir pax

[@EhlieMeister]

Sobrang SOLIDDD MO TALAGA BROTHER! LABYU! GRABE KA! Soliddd yun di mo pag sasabi ng OPINION mo! Dahil totoo. Sobrang maiimpluwensyahan mo ko hehe. Hinayaan mo na ang viewers mo ang magbukas ng bagong daan sa musikang gusto nyang tahakin. SALAMAT BROTHER!

[@nowemmarkez1767]

Grabe.. hanep sa effort thumbs up!! PRS at fender strat ako hehe..

[@iandeguia5371]

Naka eye (or ears haha) talaga ako sa Jazzmaster kasi yun lang ang meron ako. Nag stand out talaga siya sa Jazz at Punk, hindi rin naman nag pahuli pag clean yung tone or with distortion na dahil may pagka-warm yung tunog niya. Sana mag ka Strat ako dahil sa versatility niya and being the most iconic guitar shape o kaya Tele dahil na rin sa versatility at simplicity. Thanks for the good comparison PAX 🔥

[@reix25]

I adore the Les Paul but the Stratocaster, PRS and RG are versatile

[@Lucifurius]

thank you for this, now i need to save for prs

[@terminalglimmer]

Uy Pax, if you use the rhythm circuit on a Jazzmaster, hindi na yan neck + bridge. The rhythm section is neck only, pero running through a 50k pot instead of 1meg kaya darker.

[@MrTatiblack]

I think the PRS has a pretty good gob in all of the genres, and the Ibanez is by far the best for hard rock styles. Jazzmaster is the king for surf but that's because we are influenced by surf music being recorded all with jazz masters.

[@josetorres957]

It's the Fender Telecaster for me + Texas Blues🔥Siguro depende talaga yan sa player at sa genre na trip niya.

[@carljemuel]

Solid talaga 🔥

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

So... What's your pick? :D

[@charlesparocha2720]

PRS and Ibanez 😂

[@valehedgehog996]

SG 😂

[@gilakhir719]

i really liked the jazzmaster hahah kasi parang halos lahat okay yung tunog

[@carlandrewaraneta7826]

May ibanez rg ako idol. Recently naghahanap ako ng tele, baka ito na pag iipunan ko hehe.

[@giancarlobeniga766]

Prs versitile 2n1 strat at les pau

[@geraldsambandilla1929]

Now i know what guitar will fit my taste. PRS nailed it because of the split coil!! Now i have to change guitars lol

[@pinpindesarapin6228]

Ang sarap sa tenga ang Pride and Joy. Mahirap din e replicate ang guitar tone ni SRV kung hindi naka 13's. Ang galing mo mag gitara.

[@erix2168]

Kuya pax, I hope you can do a review of Mooer GE100 multi-effects pedal soon.

[@roycechua]

Yes and compare it with Zoom G1xFour din sana sir Pax. Thanks ng marami 😄🎸 Looking forward sa comparison video later

[@yegorthebutcher]

or MOOER GE150 and GE200 T-T please make this happen!

[@paupau1922]

Na-activate mo yung GAS namen 😂 lol. Nung unang part ng vid napasabi ako na gusto ko ata ng tele pero pag pasok nung part ng bridge pickup ng strat narealize ko na strat guy talaga ko 😂. Btw prs and jazzmaster sounds caught my attention too😅. More videos pa sir pax

[@blackspirit1129]

10:52 not sure if namention na ba pero tele yung label instead na jazzmaster. still, solid vid ma dude!

[@hessosphere788]

PRS talaga angat! anyways, ano po title nung sa neo sould na sample?

[@abellalawr9978]

Yung ES 335, di lang yung design ang old school pati na yung mismong tone, very deep and warm. Classic!

[@jan-jans143]

pax new subscriber ako. ano ma recommend mo na guitar for death metal.

[@ejasugas9495]

PRS superb versatility. ng dahil neto PRS na tlga 2nd guitar na kukunin ko. thanks sir Pax!!!

[@SandauxBeats]

Hayup!!! Ang ganda ng tunog nung ES 335 ah!!! 😲

[@usada3658]

LP really hits the spot for me! PRS is a very versatile one tho.

[@japhethelcarte390]

Ganda talaga Les Paul sa Rock at Strat sa di masyadong mabigat, sarap din esolo sa strat kasi may kagat talaga ang bend. 💯❤️

[@kurt9361]

PRS TALAGA! Hahaha kala ko lalabas dito yung abasi sparta sir pax e

[@jaycrisfiesta29]

PRS versatility is on spot 🔥🔥🔥

[@anotsadventures8316]

That tele is a gem. Perfect balance of high and low end. But PRS ako, kaya lahat.

[@raizenkenjie2210]

galing nitong vlog nato!

[@ar_th_zy57]

Gaganda ng tunog lahat!🎸

[@guitarhatdog5611]

the ibanez RG shookt me with the funk lick😵‍💫

[@eringabrielle8932]

Yung sa classic metal and modern metal po Telecaster parin yung nakalagay kahit jazz master yung guitar. 😁 Solid comparison!

[@lukaplavsic9827]

whats the name of that prs? The colourway is interesting.

[@BluesPH]

Hi Pax, Are they all connected into a direct DI or did you connect it to an amp first and then put a mic? Also, did you do some post edit on their recordings? Thank you!

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

All of these are DI to Neural DSP. No post processing. The levels are all actual.

[@BluesPH]

@@PAXmusicgearlifestyle Thanks Pax! Good Comparison video as well. I've been using PRS ever since kasi pero SE series lang hehe cannot afford to buy a single american version. More success to your videos.

[@armandooctaviojr4895]

I thought pinaka versatile sa lahat ng genre based sa video mo ay yung Ibanez, then Strat. I was rooting for the PRS pero mas panalo sa tenga ko yun mga nauna kong nabanggit. Nagulat ako sa Ibanez. Yun Strat naman expected ko na versatile siya. Anyway, this is just me. Thank you for doing this, PAX.

[@yeppieyay8906]

+1 for Strat for iconic clean sound of the neck pickup plus quack tones of the 2nd and 4th positions. -1 for ugly sounding bridge pickup and pickup selector switch placed too near the strings (thus getting hit while strumming) +1 for Tele for sheer simplicity, twang, and capability to pull off both clean and distorted tones (does distortion much better than the strat). -1 for being uncomfortable to play from the lack of contours. +1 for Les Paul for the iconic beefy hard rock sound popularized by Guns'n'Roses. -1 for being extremely heavy and uncomfortable to play and fat neck. +1 for Ibanez Jem for being comfy for shredding and having a Floyd Rose with locking tuners. -1000 points for the headache of a Floyd Rose.

[@randyteope2067]

Hard to beat a Custom 24 in terms of versatility since it was designed to sound somewhere “in between” a Strat and LP

[@MarkGeuel]

something about the jazzmaster that just hits the spot

[@ris844]

3:44 parang nag iba mukha natin dun sir ah HAHAHAHAHAH

[@OposSindi0413]

Thank you Master 💓

[@chazbarrientos7691]

Kakaibang Jazzmaster to ah. Bridge+neck (Rhythm Engaged.) Ano kayang series to

[@johnryancabreza8193]

Sana may ganitong version din para sa mga copy or cheap guitar, heheheh

[@charlesarnoco]

For me the ibanez jem nailed it all. Tone is so precise and clear. versatile as well 💯

[@corgimeister7283]

Gaganda ng lahat ng guitara sa video na to. Pangarap kong PRS.. ❤️

[@psr5565]

Ano ang mas versatile sir Pax, PRS or Suhr

[@khendelovino4076]

PRS FTW! ✨

[@damieursua1309]

Ung fender. 💯 Mapa tele, strat or jm.. 🔥

[@orlandoalexandergomez1885]

Way to Go!!! You just disproved Glenn Fricker when it comes to Metal sounds!!!

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

I was wondering where the "twang" of ES-335 comes from

[@iampoypi4089]

Clean - Telecaster Overdrive - PRS and Gibson Thank you idol Pax

[@jacktolentino697]

Telecaster and ES 335 for Jazz, Funk and Classic Rock 🎸🔥

[@breatheliveandthrive7404]

Fender Strat, Tele, and Ibanez are champions for me.

[@jvvillavicencio313]

Nice comparison but the PRS sounds great it with all the genres! 😎😎

[@herrEee-og5gz]

Ask kulang idol saan mo nabili ang ibanez mo?

[@intothematrix151]

Na appreciate ko tuloy ung jazzmaster sa review nato, i like it na.

[@mastergelo_rg550rfr]

Ibanez Jem/RG and PRS is the most versatile for my ears :) thanks for this vid.

[@reniepapellero1185]

PRS for the win for me 🔥🔥 Runner up, Jazz master

[@user-kg4wb3me3b]

Can we appreciate the versatility of sir pax for the demo

[@DailyBag]

Tele Or PRS for me .Iba appeal Sakin Ng tone Ng Dalawa Nyan Sheeshh 💯

[@villanomikee]

Anong kanta po yung sa 11:26?

[@anthonycarado6313]

Ohhh..I like Tele's tone in playing clear pieces...although fan ako ng Ibanez at yun ang meron ako. 😁

[@slirk49payoyo78]

hello po kuya pax ano po ung pinaka unang song po ung nasa opening part ng video po

[@chrisbelarmino6225]

Binebenta mu ba yang mga branded guitars mo lods?

[@darwinzapanta6724]

That Fender strat in a Randy Rhodes' Crazy Train, caught me by surprise. Para saken, bumagay bigla tone nung strat sa song na yun or nagustuhan ko lang yung bagong tone para sa ganung genre.

[@kingchatv]

Para sa akin Favorite ko lahat yang mga Gitara na yan pero ang Number 1 na Guitar na nagagandahan sa akin ay ang Les Paul, kasi sa Tunog palang ng Bridge Pick Up Solid na, kaya talaga ako nag Les Paul pero kung Top 3 Les Paul, Stratocaster at Telecaster ang gusto ko pero lahat yan ay Dream Guitar ko, God Bless Kuya Pax😊☝️🎸💕

[@christianr.8885]

Jazzmaster for me, clear on adlibs,can do funky and bold on heavy riffs
