Eastman SB59v vs Gibson Les Paul Standard
If you are looking for a reason to get an Eastman over a Gibson, look no further. They are just better guitars. However, if you want a Gibson Les Paul, nothing else will fill that gap for you.
PRS Silver Sky vs Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster
Is the Silver Sky really as good as a Fender Custom Shop for a lot less money? Sort of. Despite the similarities, they aren't aimed at the same target audience.
PRS McCarty 594
The PRS McCarty 594 Singlecut is a truly special instrument. It will deliver a distinctly vintage experience and sound with the unmatched reliability and attention to detail that PRS are known for.
Fender American Acoustasonic
Fender created something truly special with their Acoustasonic series. These guitars deliver the rich sound of multiple acoustic guitars, while retaining the playability, portability, and reliability of an electric guitar.
Epiphone Les Paul Custom
The low price and great feature set mean that compromises had to be made somewhere. In this case, they compromised on fretwork and finishing. The guitar sounds very good and authentic, and with the right setup it can be a great player’s guitar too!
Fender Player Stratocaster
The Fender Player Series Stratocaster is a rare case of getting much more than you pay for, especially when compared to the American Performer and Professional series. The guitars are extremely reliable and sound and play very well! You really can’t go wrong with picking up one of these.
Epiphone SG Custom
At £489, the Epiphone SG Custom is competing with some very high-quality Schecter and ESP LTD guitars that would not have such glaring quality control issues. That said, it is still a good player’s guitar, especially after a setup.
Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s
At the end of the day, you are paying a premium for the Gibson logo on the headstock, but that’s ok. The Gibson Les Paul Standard is a very good instrument and a worthy alternative to Gibson’s Custom Shop reissues.
PRS Silver Sky
The Silver Sky is well suited to someone who wants a vintage-feeling instrument with modern playing comfort and stability.
Silver Sky SE vs Player Stratocaster
Silver Sky is a very good contender to replace the Fender Player Stratocaster in your arsenal; but if you are in Europe or Asia, the 50% premium you have to pay for it just isn’t worth it.
