You won't get a definitive answer... both have their fans.

Personally I prefer the Ripper. It is more traditional Gibson (set neck, humbuckers) with a darker fatter sound. The G3 with it's bolt-on neck is going over towards Fender teritory with a snappier sound.

You really would have to try both to decide

Jules is right, it's a personal thing. Having tried both, I prefer the G-3 - the Ripper seemed too polite sounding to me (which disappointed me greatly and not what I expected at all). My G-3 is only a 2 trick pony (there's very little to choose between the front 2 pickups and all three) but what a couple of tricks! Those single coil blade pickups have a sweet tone.
