I guess the difference in sound is made by how much better you play because the neck is more comfortable on some guitars than on others. If you have some Hondo POS guitar and a real Les Paul Custom, which are you gonna play more enthusiastically and want to practice more with?
Anyway, you look like a giant in those videos, so maybe the Ernie Ball is gonna feel too small for your mitts. You might be better off with the old, wideneck Kramer stuff.

excellent point..it is largely a matter of comfort between guitars..most 'sounding' the same, all things being equal thru amps, effects..unless there's a dramatic difference in pickups and how they're seated in relation to the strings. lol..not a giant..6'2" and 230 most days..but you're right about the wide necks often feeling more comfortable for my longer fingers. i do notice that it's harder for me to play legato quickly than it was when i was younger and slimmer, even though fingers are much stronger today. it's easily noticeable to me since i quit for 18 years..differences seem more obvious than had i never stopped and observed the changes associated with aging. how old are you now..and have you noticed any changes in your basic fingering abilities from the 80's, too?
