Right, on the last take, the tone drastically shifts at 0:17. Did you step on something right there or maybe you took your hand off the mike ?
Right. It almost sounds like a bit of flange.
All in all, they all sound incredibly similar. That is somewhat the reason behind me joking that they are the same guitar. It's very possible to alter the sound, even using the same pick, just by changing how you attack the string.
Honesty. The entire thing is guesswork. I don't hear any differences that are significant enough to make me think one sample ~has~ to be the Chibson, or another one ~has~ to be the Gibson.
So, since we can't phone a friend (thanks for nuthin, Goo!) I'll simply make my guess, as someone else did. I guess in the order they are listed in the OP.
But, I reserve the option to say they are all the Chibson!

I call fake test.
I didn't even listen.
Here's why.
They all sound the same because you are all listening to the tone of a dimed Marshall.
* The guitar(s?) is/are functioning as (a) pitch controller(s), nothing more.
I would bet that if they were played through a clean amplifier
they would sound noticeably different from each other.
You could get an electric banjo to sound like a diesel truck through a dimed Marshall.
FAKE TEST!!!

Vole?
Sometimes, I get voles in my yard. Nasty critters messin' up my yard. Those little dudes, along with the moles, can be a problem. By the end of the summer, most of them have drowned in my swimming pool, though.
You say you have four voles in your amp?
I cant play---and i cant type either ! lol

I'm not saying I would be able to tell which guitar is which.
I am saying that played through a clean amplifier they will
sound different from each other when not hidden behind
the roar of a raging dimed Marshall.
To go further, I have to ask the point of this. If it is to show that a $200.00
guitar can sound as good as one costing 300/500% more, sure it can. My Miras
sound "as good as" my ES 335s. Different but just as "good" in their own way.
You got a good deal on a guitar you seem to like. That is a good thing.
You did not buy it thinking it was a Gibson. Another good thing.
but...
(Here's where I play the apology card in advance just in case.)
It seems to me that you are trying hard to convince yourself
(and others) that it is indeed as good as the guitar it imitates.
Maybe it is. I haven't played or heard it. I just think it would
be better if it wasn't using a pirated logo on the headstock.
Or perhaps you are trying to justify the known counterfeit purchase?
No need for that. Not with me anyway. None of my business.
(Read this over, gonna let it stand and post it. You all know me.
No intentional sarcasm or condescendingness in the post.)

I was doing OK until I got to that word. Now my head hurt.
eESGe ... turn the volume down. Turn the lights off too, since you are going that way.

None taken Tony---....and no apology card needed THIS FORUM IS FOR FREE SPEECH --- say what you will--- when you will just dont pee on the couch--
Justify to myself---no--Not at all--I am happy with what I have be it garbage salvage or top dollar exotic (someday I will get one of those) ----
I am however trying to SHOW (not PROVE) the FACT--- $$$$$$$ does not equal tone/quality in SOUND....perhaps in feel....or in durability yes....
Would I go on tour with the Chibson.......probably not---- with the Gibson SG.....in a heartbeat......but that fact --- to a crap bedroom part time/weekend player as myself means little, as my guitars be they 1.00 or 1,000.00, will never see that kind of abuse. And lets be honest the majority of guitars sold in the U.S. are NOT sold to Pro musicians or talented skilled players as yourself, or Six or Sergio or others here........they are sold to HACK wannabees like me....
What I am ---and have been SCREAMING to the masses---
Chibson
Squire
Harley Benton
Agile
Sx
--bobs discount guitar emporium
Sears
WALMART PEAVEY
Gibson
PRS
custom 10,000 gold plated GOD GUITAR....
IT DOESNT FOOKING MATTER TWO GNAT FARTS IN A HURRICANE ------- YOU make the SOUND come out of the DAMN thing.....
here are 3 guitars
188.00 new
499.00 new
900.00 new
(no smitty thats not a clue)
And the difference with ALL OTHER FACTORS BEING EQUAL ----aint worth spit ----and many here are saying they cant tell.
THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT.
So......play what ya got---love what ya play and dont poo poo on others toys ----------
---oh and ROBERT HERNDON--- send me that SG!!!!!
now.....back to the regular argument---this is a 5 min. argument and you will be charged accordingly......
all these different font sizes and poop........very cool...............

I thought the first 2 sounded good but #2 was more articulate and #3 sound somewhat muddy.
So I would have said Epi, Gibson, Chibson. I am surprised the Chibson sounded better that the Epi, but it did sound like there were differences between the recordings besides your fingers.
I say it this way because I listened a few times first but when I panned down to post had read the answers.
Are the Epi pickups the older version which I do have in my G400; my neck sounded a bit muddy but lowering it brought out much more articulation.
But I know exactly jack sh*t; and thats just my $ .02.
The way I see it, if you are just dancin' with who brung ya its all good.
