I had a comparison tonight with my son's Gibson Les Paul DC Studio, which I thought was a good guitar
We used my standard rig & effcts pedals for both guitars, same settings etc
Fender Super 60
Fulltone Fulldrive FDII
Digitech Digital Delay
Digitech Multi Chorus
My LS-70F
Versus the Gibson LP Studio
First of all the Studio is much lighter, only 3.2kg vs 4.6kg
Some differences in neck width & profile, the Studio has a narrower neck, also thinner profile.
I prefer the thicker neck, sonnie boy the thinner, I suppose 60's profile
Tone wise, big difference. The Tokai won without a doubt, we both agreed on that one
The richness & clarity of the Gotoh pups way puts the Gibson pups to shame, wich was ill defined, muddy & lower output.
Sustain (prob due to weight & ext tenon in the LS-70) was much longer in the LS-70
Player comfort over a night of 4 hrs playing the Studio is much easier to handle than the heavy LS-70, but hey I can live with that :wink:
Anyone else out there done similar tests?
Be very intresting when my boy brings home that mid 90's LP Standard 60's neck, that he just bought, then we'll see :roll:
