Well, i try to tell what is the difference between them saying first of all that ? in terms of vintage les paul sound ? my references are a lot of you tube video not a direct experience. I heard directly live only a ?57 les paul with paf?s.
That said, the ls80 with dry Z has a very rich, harmonic, full tone. It has a great vibration and even unplugged you can clearly hear all the range of frequencies. Through the amp, on the clean side the guitar has a fantastic vibe and is responsive at any type of touch; great snap, great woody and warm tone with clarity and richness. On the crunch/overdriven/distorted side I?m always stunned when I realize the clarity of chords, with every string audible. When you bend a tone or a tone and half my feel is that notes are ?in? my fingers and it?s fantastic to listen overtones ?rocketing? from the amp? to me is the closest guitar to the real thing?
The ls150 is a well build guitar, a very good guitar but it?s a bit different; there?s some lack? I love its neck, fatter a little than the ls80 (on the ?58 side both) but unplugged you immediately feel less vibration. This guitar is more brilliant and a bit mid scooped, so the overall tone is beautiful but it has to be compensated with pick ups. And I was very lucky to buy it with that set. In fact if the neck p. u. is a paf clone and you have a very good tone, a bit modern because the own guitar/wood tone, the bridge p.u. give you an attractive sound, both clean or distorted. It has an Alnico 8 magnet and 15 k resistance but it marries perfectly the unplugged vibe. Anyway we're talking about a great les paul.
Hope I reached a sort of explanation?
