my $5 speakers appreciate your investment

#1 had a lot of scratching. #2 a lttle bit but WAY less noticable. #3 and #4 sounded the same to me

In the 330 and the 1200 it seemed to not pick up the fretting noises as well as the more expensive versions which is both good and bad, as it's easier to hide a mistake if you catch it fast enough, but it is an equal trade off as you have to try harder when you want those noises. Solid tone difference is noticeable but as stated elsewhere no full on quality change

you can tell they get nicer by the more prominent guitar nipple
JaromirAzarov
Should've properly tuned the $3200 guitar first...

90% of the sound is from the pickups.
While at acoustic guitars the price differences can be heard better.

Jim Lill did a really interesting video about where the tone for a guitar comes from. https://youtu.be/n02tImce3AE

... anyone else think NOOT NOOT during the riff?
CogYang
well a comparison of the same section of the song would be more appropriate, but they all sound the same to me

I think I can hear a difference from the epiphone vs the other three but that’s it. I think the lesson is that you don’t need expensive equipment to learn guitar.

Good to know that when you go over $1200 the quality actually degrades.
MeekrabJones
Gibson's prices have gone up with their quality going down for years. They're sending out guitars that cost several thousand dollars with obvious flaws in the finish. It's ridiculous.
HumanFromPlanetEarth
The first one has no band to hide in
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Yeah, that was bound to sound progressively better as more instruments join in.
HellsHegemony
Not really sure GIF is the best media for showing sound quality differences
fishmaceins
GIF does not have sound
fishmaceins
So you're correct, GIF is never and will never be the best format to show sound quality differences. Just like jpg and png
ThatSonOfaBitch
Agreed. That's why it's an MP4 and not a GIF.
ThatSonOfaBitch
Obvious tonal differences in each. Some darker some brighter. But just not hearing a $1600 difference in quality between low end and top end. As with a lot of these things it's almost always a question of status and not tonal quality.
rmmmm
While I totally agree with you, I was also wondering if maybe the difference is obvious when they do some more “extreme” stuff with it
MeowWoof
There's a $900 difference between the first and second though.
hesbeginningtobelieve
There’s not a $1600 difference in any of these lol. I don’t here thaaat much difference from the 2nd to 3rd, but huge difference from the 1st, to middle 2, to last
EdwardLongshanks
I don't disagree with your assessment on tonal quality, but also consider the instrument's response with other tone options (played clean, through different amps and effects, etc.), and there is also playability, tuning stability, and feel to consider.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
The top one is from Epiphone, a Gibson-owned company that sells quality Gibson guitars without the Gibson logo at a much cheaper price point. There are some minor differences like the finish and the inlay of the neck. You can see that the Gibson models have mother-of-pearl inlays whereas the Epiphone one has little plastic circles, but that doesn't affect the tonal quality (which mostly depends on the pickups anyway.)

Isn't there an $8,670 difference between first and last?

Plus tax
moxythree
Yes.
