Can you hear the difference between a Fender Telecaster and a Gibson Les Paul if both guitars have the exact same Pickups, setup, strings and wiring?

A fun little experiment in the great debate over where the tone comes from.

Having multiple guitars, I’ll still go by what Jim Lill and SMG say: it’s mostly up to the speakers. I have a knockoff tele, Epi Wildkat and some others. They sound exactly the same with my setup using an fx chain in reaper going out to my shit Line6 amp. Personally I don’t care as much about sound as I do does it make me want to play?.

Amen to that!

I loved the Jim Lil series, and it was nice to hear Ryan give a nod to it in this video. I'm not familiar with SMG, are you referring to smg-guitars.com?
