Is a Sire Larry Carlton H7 As Good as a REAL Gibson ES335? [No, but it's pretty good!]

For my Presets visit: https://johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ What's the difference between a £500 guitar and a £3000 guitar? Well. In some ways, less than you'd think, and in others, there can be real differences. In this video, I wanted to compare the Sire Larry Carlton H7 (which Larry really does seem to use live) vs a Gibson Memphis ES335. The biggest difference was in the unplugged sound....What do you think?
