Gibson Les Paul Classic vs Gibson ES-339?
I came to a decision, it is between these two. I can't make up my mind, these two guitars are amazing.
which guitar would handle Punk Rock, Classic Rock, Alternative Rock, and Pop Rock better?
Both. In all of those genres, the top guitars I personally have seen are either Gibson's or Fender's and out of those, it's usually either the Les Paul, SG or ES models.
I've played on both and I prefer the ES over a Les Paul, just cause I like the bigger body and the sound that it produces is fuller/richer
