This is probably my favorite video you've done! All sound great, but that Tuttle really does sound warm. You said something very important to remember... It's not about how the guitar sounds by itself, but how it sounds in the track! Wise words! Many times I've been surprised by which pickup sounds the best with the band, where I would otherwise think it was too thin. Ultimately, everything has to carve out, and fit into its own frequency range to achieve a tone that stands by itself within a mix. Great video as always, and I especially dig the impromptu shenanigans. Humor makes us human, and relatable. Good stuff!

Thanks for this video Shawn. I watched your previous strat vs strat vid which helped me when I played/compared a Suhr vs LSL vs Music Man. I’m used to playing MM guitars so the Cutlass felt like home but the LSL fitted like a glove and the Suhr felt solid and suited to any style. They were all so well built and I could justify owning them all. As you say: nowadays all +$2k guitars are so well built. It’s a really difficult decision.

Hey Shawn my first "real" guitar was a Tom Anderson grand am lam that I bought from Lab Sound in Garden Grove back in 1990. Around that time was when I first met you and the rest of the guys at Lab Sound. It was also the time you were a Mesa/Boogie product specialist. I still have one of your business cards. I love that guitar. Recently I purchased a Fender Custom Shop Tamo Ash Telecaster. It was a game changer for me. Whole different feel. I love that guitar play it everyday. I special ordered it from Sweetwater Music. It took a year to get it! I never played it until the day it arrived. I agree with you ever guitar I own has it's purpose they are like my children. LOL Thanks for doing this channel I'm learning a lot from you!

If I had to choose only One-Guitar and play a gig Covering: rock, motown, reggae & jazz . . . I'd choose an HSS Strat with some Great Pickups. So Versatile. Loved this Video. Preferred the tones on the 1st guitar and of course the Lollar Pickups.

Thanks ,Michael!! Yeah, I'd have to agree with you on that one. I've got my Suhr Classic SSH guitar and It's the one I reach for as the "does all". The only other guitar that I'll take off with is the DGT by PRS. That guitar is killer for the same thing. Thanks so much for watching and for chiming in!!

I built me a Warmoth for about 1200. I used all top line hardware. Roasted swamp ash roasted maple with rosewood fb. Basically a tribute to Jeff Beck. What I found about strat tone is its mostly in the tone controls the volume knob resistance values and the pickups. your pickups can't be too hot or too cold. you're paying way too much for those high end guitars try putting some Lollars or other boutique pickup in an average strat and wire per original 50s or 60s wiring spec and you will have proper strat tone.
