Tokai vs Gibson vs Eastman vs Epiphone vs Aria Pro II 🎸 Which Les Paul Sounds The Best? 🤔

We have been very excited about the sound of our vintage Tokai Love Rock proclaiming it to be the best 'lester' we have owned so this week we put that claim to the test by pitting it against some mighty Gibson's and various other models.
