As you may know, there are a lot of discussions regarding which guitar is better, Gibson Les Paul or PRS custom 22. I happened to have both, so I made short video comparing them side by side, unplugged and straight to the amp.
To my taste PRS sounded a bit better here, but this PRS is really good one, the other I had wasn't as good, some not even close and I owned around 10 of them. Regarding Les Paul Custom, I wouldn't call it the best Les Paul Custom I had, I saw some that were really magical, and I saw the ones that wasn't as good as this one. So please take this video with grain of salt. it's more about hands, rather than guitars.
