Loudness is a subjective thing. Unless you see a sound meter in the view, recording techniques can skew the perceived loudness, as can player technique. For example, my right arm drapes differently over the beveled edge of my X20 than a hard-edged wood guitar, which required a subtle shift in my strumming. And that does not even consider the losses and other things inherent in compressed internet video.
This is not a criticism of the video recording, just pointing out that judging tone via on-line video is a VERY complex topic. it is a challenge just to record two different guitars to be an "equal" setting in a studio. You can only really trust is your ears while hearing both guitars in the same room, same day, same player.
