Gibson Les Paul vs ESP (E-II) Eclipse Shootout || Which Should You Get??

No new gear this week, so thought I might answer a question that I get asked quite often on Facebook: "Should I get a Gibson Les Paul or an ESP Eclipse?" Here are my thoughts on that. Using EMGs in both of them, so not really sure how much you'll be able to hear after YouTube compression, but whatevs.

2:00 My Thoughts

TYPO IN THE VIDEO: The Gibson has an 81X/60X set installed.
NOTE ABOUT THE GIBSON: Somewhere over its 45 year life, one of the owners decided to install a metal sustain block under the bridge that was drilled for import posts, not regular Gibson posts.
