Tough Decision! | 2 Great Gibsons Go Head To Head! | Which Sounds Better? | Jazz Guitar Shootout |

In this video, I put two of my great Gibson archtop guitars into a head-to-head comparison. They are a 1998 Gibson L4 CES and a 1990 Gibson ES175D. They both have the same dimensions and are very similar in almost every way except for the wood. The ES175D has Mahogany sides and back. They only used mahogany on these guitars from 1983 to 1990. Both of the guitars sound really good but I am curious what you think about them! Please leave me a comment and thank you for watching! Also, I have hundreds of other lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales along with exercises meant to build your chops.
