I've seen several of these comparisons on YT. The answer isn't always the same, even when the same guitars are used, but it's still fun to compare. Especially when they're playing a piece that you know more-or-less how it's "supposed" to sound.
Which Guitar Sound Do You Like Best
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
I'm a Gibson guy (my personal fav in my collection is my ancient SG), but this song sounds better to me on the Fenders. I give the Strat the nod but the Tele is pretty sweet.
Absolutely. And what strings you are using, and so on. But what's your choice in this particular comparison?
Strat and tele for me on this one with the Strat being my top choice.
For this comparison
1. Strat
2. Tele
3. Strandberg
4. Gibson

Strat always my favorite tone
Probably the Gibson, but I haven't picked up a guitar in years.
I have been on such a Pink Floyd kick lately. Listen to Echoes pretty much every day.Strat always my favorite tone
Yeah. I have a very nice 1989 Strat but my 1969 SG is my favorite to actually pick up and play.
I am pretty partial to the tele as that's pretty much all I play lately, but the Gibson sounded very good to me. @What Would Jesus Do? and I may just have each other's wish list guitars. I have an American Deluxe tele, and I have always thought I might want an SG. I am not very guitar promiscuous though and won't likely stray far from the tele.
I feel like for authenticity's sake, that particular song calls for the strat "quack" you get from the 2 or 4 position in the 5 way pickup selector switch-- I am ambivalent about the quack tone in general.

I also have a 1969 Tele Thinline that I picked up in a pawn shop ages ago. It's pretty beat up, so I don't actually use it. But it's very cool. Lots of character.
