Guitar comparison

Post by Donny Hinson »

So, what do you all think about this?
Significant differences, or not?

Absolutely, significant differences between these guitars' sounds, even on these crappy laptop speakers and with the undoubtedly diminshed audio fidelity of an uploaded mp4. Immediately, one can hear the extra snarl from the Telecaster. And no mistaking the move to the Les Paul with humbuckers. The differences between the various humbucker guitars is less obvious, but still there. The distinction between the Jazzmaster and the Jaguar is very noticeable. And this is just one edgy, semi-distorted phrase, not remotely the range of sounds these guitars can produce.

Some in the listening public might not notice the differences. But I think most experienced players would notice them immediately. And forget about the differences felt and heard when playing which, in my experience with every guitar type played here, are enormous.

I know there's a school of thought that there isn't much tonal difference in electric guitars. I disagree.
