Mitch Gallagher compares two Gibson guitars, one solidbody and one hollowbody, to demonstrate their fundamental differences in tone. The hollowbody is a Gibson Memphis ES-275 — the solidbody is a Sweetwater-exclusive Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Modern Beauty. These guitars are very similar in terms of electronics and tonewoods, so the sonic differences you’ll hear are mostly due to the difference in body construction. After the video, learn more about these guitars at the links below.
