The irony of Kurt’s message to the world that you don’t need to dress nice or have expensive guitars to be the greatest rockstar in the world, is the sole reason why those $100 69’ mustangs are thousands of dollars and second hand clothes are expensive “vintage”

I agree with Kamal. Wasn’t even close. Although I thought the Fender strat and the Billy Corgan modified Squier held their own. Jagstang and Mustang were clear winners to me.

Clean: I like the Jagstang and Mustang best. Distorted: the first 4 sound almost identical - and better than the last 3.

Jagstang and Mustang were the winners... with a distance.. wtf. happened with the ESPs? They sound the worst by this example.

Ya not sure what happened with the ESP's - I may have accidentally had the tone rolled off a bit on the flame one... Also these guitars shine with high gain and I would have totally different amp settings... But ya jagstang and mustang are awesome! :)
