Had another listen to this with more time , two things are really noticeable to me apart from the Epi and Gibson comparison 1, The difference in tone produced by the different plectrum material , the guy on our right as we look at the screen is using a much softer pick and it really shows in the resulting tone .2, As a new owner of Gibson acoustics it has really surprised me what good sounding guitars these are for fingerpicking most players choose OO or OOO size guitars but these two Gibsons sound amazing
