Gibson Les Paul Custom or Jackson WR1 Warrior Blackout?

[Simon Dorn]

Since i kinda gave up on Amps i'm probably back in the Guitar market, so to say. Well, at least maybe
Out of curiosity and of fun: Which one would you choose and why?

The Jackson is basically never available. I guess they have only one.

Probably the Jackson. The black beauties were never my thing. In wine red, sunburst and white it’s a different story though

LPC!!!

I would pick the warrior because I love jackson, I also have the same LPC at home so it's a very close call here....howevere satin finish is definitely a NO

 

[Devin]

I'd say Warrior because I'm kinda obsessed with them and already own an LPC

Warrior over the Boomer Paul any day

 

[angelspade]

LES PAUL

Warrior over the Boomer Paul any day

That's a valid point

I kinda like 'em both. I had a few used LPCs over the Years, but i sold them. Then i bought one for 3445.-€, when they were available with ebony boards again, but i sent it back. Prefered the ESP V-II. I'm just not sure if i get the Intonation on the Warrior right with 14-68 Strings. Though it never was a problem except for on my Ibanez RG770DX that i had. Any intonation issues on the Warrior with thick Strings?

To me at least, an LPC refretted with true jumbo frets is the perfect guitar. But I don't like the smaller frets they use currently, so I'd opt for the Warrior unless I were going to refret a brand new guitar (which I've done haha).

Les Paul. Classic. Badass.

 

[rushcentrale]

LPC

 

[sytharnia1560]

I never liked the top horn on the Warrior, so probably the custom

 

[Reverend Bow]

Better be careful with that Jackson... You'll put an eye out

 

[inyarak74]

LPC

 

[VonBonfire]

Les Paul is the sound of rock and is also a great choice for neo-soul music. Win-win.

 

[Simon Dorn]

In the meantime i read that the Warrior Pickup is the Dave Davidson Signature Pickup in which i'm not interested at all.

 

[MetalGOD84]

LPC without a doubt. Something about that guitar that makes it convenient for all occasions.

 

[romanianreaper]

LPC!! Just did a show and my buddy in another band has one of those black customs. Just badass!

I don't know, that's a close call. I love Jackson's, but the Warrior shape doesn't really appeal to me as much as a LPC shape, and I already got a LPC Black Beauty. However, longterm, 5 years from now, I'd probably be happier with a LPC. I could use it for more different types of gigs and a greater variety of gigs. For certain gigs a Jackson Warrior may be a bit extreme visually and not fit the look of the band or the event. So to make a short story long, I think I might, perhaps, maybe go for the LPC.
