- Putting feel, wood, frets, and price of construction materials aside, let's see if there is a huge SOUND difference between the two!

i would make both guitars sound like a 10$ guitar
😂😂
lmfao
😁
Jebiga
"ma nabavim ti ja istu kod kineza za 100 kn hahah"
It's nearly unnoticeable when they're run through the distortion channel. But when they're clean, it's pretty noticeable.
Yeah...The strat sounds better!
Every weapon is lethal in the hands of a master, and this is the answer
Very nice summary👍🏽

This video was released in 2017... all the comments are from the past week... thanks youtube recommendations
that's because it's automatically being sorted by date rather than top comments
@@kekag yes but the video was recommended to a bunch of people this week too that means
There was a small difference, but not a $2700 difference.
When you play them there is a $2700 difference. With the right settings, you can imo get much better tones out of the majesty. Also it feels way nicer to play
Nino not a $2700 difference. theres a threshold point where the more money you pay is going towards cosmetic reasons, and usually a sticker that says “Made in the USA”
It's not just the sound that matters; the feel, durability, how it sounds with pedals, and the brand value also brings the difference!
Well said sir
music man was better, but not $3,000 better.
Haha silly Jared, I can't afford either guitar.
*Doesn't cry because water is expensive*
Both sounded similar just shows the amp is by far the most important criteria for your tone, the musicman is probably better made and easier to play (jumbo frets, 24 frets etc, lower action). The musicman is a premium instrument but I've never been a fan of their body shape
I almost hate to say it, but the $3,000 guitar seemed to have a richer tone.
Any guitar will sound shit in my hands lol
Both are same for me... Two guitars that I can't afford.
Ok
Same😭😂
the more expensive one sounds better but i wouldn't pay $3000 for it
I am not specialist and cant really hear difference, but I just really enjoyed tunes you played here :)
Not enough of a difference to justify the extra money.
Savagemister true
agreed one could have several verities of fenders for the cost difference here
Savage Mister Agreed , Gonna Get The Cheap One
Probably a $27 dollar difference in tone but not $2,700. But with the clean tone the cheaper strat was tons better sounding, I was actually shocked! 😯
You can hear that the majesty had a better tone across the board but strangely it wasnt by a whole lot. Honestly upgrading the pickups on a $300 guitar would be the same as buying a $1000 or $3000 guitar.
true
True
The $3000 guitar sounded more expensive.
lol
not really just darker warmer and fatter humbuckers and different body woods and constructed differently.
it looks more expensive 😂
I can make the $3000 sounds like $300 one ._.
hey..me too!!
Good one X)
0:52 ..most beautiful sound i ever heard in my life holy....
Talent. Let's not forget talent.
$3000 guitar is not going to make you sound good if you've just mastered Mary had a little lamb
Is there a difference? Hell yes. Is the difference worth $2,700? Hell no.
Price has nothing to do with it. You could compare a single coils guitar to a humbucker guitar in the same price bracket and they'd still sound different.
there can't be nothing like a "2700$ difference" in sound. mere sound is ALMOST just a matter of effects, amp (which are the same in this case), and pickups (are they even different?), pickup configuration, then come the strings, method of fixing of the neck to the body, etc. the difference between the guitars is much bigger than just the sound and it IS a 2700$ dollars (otherwise the musicman woudn't cost that much). is it actually worth the money? let each buyer decide. if you're rich as fuck, probably yes, if you can't afford it, surely not
Alright, quiet then.
The expensive guitar was definitely a lot cleaner, but the "Clean" sound was more pleasing on the cheaper one.
I love that stringy sound with the chords of the cheaper one , gives it some kind of flavour but the more expensive one sounds clearer though....
There is nothing you cannot play on a strat probably most versatile guitar
i hear the 2700 $ diference in my wallet
Marcus Weaver whahaha i don't have a wallet😂😂
Not a 2700 dollar difference
exactly
Word
tones are shit. You can't hear the difference in this video.
he got it used from his friend
wrong comment lol
the clean sound was a huge differnece
The only difference I could tell was the difference between a single coil tone and a humbucker tone
They both mount humbuckers, rainmaker and illuminator pickups have ceramic magnets while fender humbucker is for sure an alnico V from what I can hear, the musicman is in mohogany and the fender is probably alder and with a maple neck, one is extremely dark and the other extrlemy shiny ahahaha. The style he plays is much more for the majesty, which is built for that kind of really dark a low mid focused tone. I personally don't like very much the majesty beacuse the tone is too big for my tastes and i find sometimes muddy but the Majesty is one of the best built guitar i have ever seen, no point even talking about that. It's always about your taste.
There is a difference, but not a difference worth any money.
I concur
Less difference than i expected, can not justify the price difference imo. I would invest in a more expensive amp rather than in a guitar honestly.
I noticed some differences in tone but i think the overall message was that maybe it's the person holding gutair and knowing what hes doing is the big difference
So, where did you buy a $300 Fender Stratocaster?
back street bargain bin.
Maybe compare a $3000 HH with a $300 HH. And then compare a $3000 SSS strat with a $300 SSS strat. As in the pickups.
Brady stephenson It is not a problem. It is just a suggestion for a new video.
If people think $300 is cheap for a guitar then they dont know the struggle.
JackstandJohnny damn right
JackstandJohnny aha too true
JackstandJohnny lol go cut some grass instead of smoking it you'll eventually earn enough to get a one.
in my country $1=MYR5 roughly...my most expensive guitar cost me $150..an epiphone les paul...and a $100 kramer...a proud owner though
JackstandJohnny lol just messing with you bro. Cutting grass was how I earned my first guitar. It was a Lyle and cost 30$ in 1981 dollars but I also bought my first car for 900$ cutting grass too in 1984. Dang I feel old now lol.
Both sound good. Strat is better, but not $2700 better unless guitar playing is your life.
Really love the grunge clean and twang on the strat, leaves room for the other instruments to cut through a possibly decent mix.
If I could get a Fender strat for 300 bucks, i wouldn't think it twice
A Mexican strat isn't very good. You can easily find them.
There is a difference, but its a very subtle one. Not worth the $2700 premium.
😵😵where u can find a fender strat sunburst for 300 bucks..
player series is about 600 new in germany, you can find used mexicans for bout 400€ here, darrel braun dug up some mexican standards for bout 350 canadian.
Maybe luck sometimes u can find someone selling a fender bargain price
I play a sunburst strat
It sounds sexy asf
@@PatriotIndeed White strat here
Everyone is comparing the two guitars, but there's me enjoying the totally sick riffs!

Distortion: Draw.
Cleans: The strat, lots of brightness and clarity.
Crunch: Musicman, Much deeper and warmer.
Heavy Distortion: Musicman, Depth and warmth.
Distorted lead with reverb: Draw.
It doesn't matter how costly the guitar is. If the guitarist is Badass, he will make badass sound out of a 100$ guitar.
You're telling us that Strat is 300 dollars really.. ?
A squire/mexi strat isn’t far off from that
You can occasionally find them for around $300 on craigslist or Guitar center's used section. Just be prepared to have it set up and check the wiring.
It’s such a small difference that I don’t think anyone would say the $300 sounds cheap. I just think they would say it sounds slightly different, and that’s about as far as that thought goes. Most people probably wouldn’t notice a difference, especially when it’s used in conjunction with other instruments like drums, lead guitar, bass etc. and all the right settings to make it sound really good.
I definitely heard a difference. But no $2700 difference.
I suspect the Single Coil vs the Humbucker probably affected the sound more significanly than the price difference did.
Travis Olson the strat has a bridge humbucker too. I only noticed it half way into the video :p
TCarapinha Oh I see now. One's black and the other is cream colored. I thought that was an SSS Strat.
The expensive guitar sounds better quality wise but I really like the way the cheaper, lower quality guitar sounds with the riff at 1:18. I guess it just depends on what kind of sound you’re looking for
Distortion: Tie
Clean: Strat
Crunch: Majesty
Heavy Distortion: Majesty
Distorted Lead w/ Reverb: Majesty
Winner: Majesty
Humbucker against single coil, of course the humbucker will sound better on overdrive...
@@ron9509 he was using the humbucker on the back of the strat bro
what is the name of that effect? with what pedal can you do? (Distorted Lead w/ Reverb)
I need to make a pedal that sounds like this
@@sh1nighami yeah didnt saw the black piece haha. But still comparing a fender with am alder body with a musicman that has mahogony or something is still pretty strange. Use a ltd eclipse or something thing will sound way better distorted. Strats are only good for certain styles imo.
$300 VS $3000 Guitar + $5000 audio hardware
it really comes down to the amp. You can buy a $20 guitar with a $2,000 amp, and it will still sound better than a $2,000 guitar with a $20 amp.
On clean the difference is huge, but I won't lie, on heavy distortion I could not tell difference.
Iron Beard clean was the only one I heard the difference on and it wasn’t that different to me. The amp is probably really expensive though and that makes a big difference
its most likely because the 3k guitar uses humbuckers while the fender uses singlecoils
I'm not even a musician and i immediately noticed the difference with the clean sound.
on the heavy distortion the difference was much clearer for me haha
No one can beat a strat in clean sound
Sorry bro, my dean superstrat can make sound clean like accoustic
I know nothing about guitars, so I have no bias... Music Man sounded way better (if that was the black one with gold)...
The difference in sound is not why one guitar is $2700 more expensive than the other.
the difference doesn't sound like 2700$
Where the hell do you get a Mexi Strat for 300 dollars?
Metallideth hahahahah
Metallideth maybe he meant “pretend this is a squire strat”
Your mom’s house I heard
Sergeant Z.U.C.C You could treat it like a guitar store, but it still won’t be as open as your dad was last night.
there is a difference but not $2700 difference in sound
Yeah but honestly I’m kinda upset because he coulda done so much more for the Majesty lead tone. On top of that, most of the guitars price comes from thebplayability. If you heard it on a better amp I promise you’d be sold
USA : the only country where a Strat costs only 300$...
fuck 3000$ guitar
just buy a 300$ guitar and a 2700$ amp
It doesn't matter whether a guitar is cheap or expensive.
Both of them are good and we should set the tone according to our need.
I agree
Tfw when you call an original new Fender strat a cheap guitar
Honestly the main difference I heard was single coils vs. humbuckers.
I dont even play guitar why the fuck am i watching this?
Idk why but the clean sound of the strat sounds better to me
me too
0:52 what is the name of the song
He made it himself
I think they both sounded good for some parts of the song...some better than others at different points. The Strat sounded like a single coil Strat, as it should, but that sound is good for some things and not for others. I think it would have been more interesting to look at a $300 strat versus a $3000 strat to see if there was a big difference....
Calling a 300$ guitar a "very cheap one" while I'm rocking a 200$ epiphone Les Paul
$300 guitar is beautiful
That cheaper one sounds more beat up but gives it a more aggressive tone
In my opinion, the Strat had a better Crunch and Clean sound, while the Music Man is definitely better with Distortion and Heavy Distortion.
to me 30 is cheap and 300 is an expensive one 😂
The thing is that a stratocaster isn´t really a "cheap" guitar...I mean, of course is not as expensive as newer models and brands...but it is a classic instrument of proven quality and its own charcteristic sound...
That distortion lead with reverb gets me everytime. So simple, yet hits hard. I gotta learn it lol
Please tell me where the fuck I can find a Fender strat for 300
George Poulos RIGHT?!?!!?
20 years ago you could. You might be able to get a used one like in the video at that price, if you are lucky. A new Squier version for $200 for sure.
I bought that exact guitar like 3 months ago for close to $500. $300 my ass!
I got it at best buy, not sure the price though
Got it as a present
It comes with a mini amp
but a fender squire
You should open a restaurant called Jared's Diner
To the clean sounds I preffer the strat.
Strats with humbuckers do everything, its amazing
@@EliteTurtle05 With humbuckers on the neck and bridge and one single mid coil, so I agree.
The only thing the strat sounded not so great on was the crunch, it sounded very thin
$300 guitar? Bruh! I had $130 guitar bro!
I mean the biggest difference here will really be between single coil and humbucker pickups, not the price of the guitars.
That said, I've always found that the real difference in price is feel and playability over sound. It's easy enough to buy a $300 guitar with similar or almost identical pickups to a $3000 one (or at least to buy the cheap guitar and mod the pickups) and the sound you get will be very similar, because the pickups are identical. But the real difference will be in how well it stays in tune, how well made it is, how it feels, how it's finished.
So there are massive differences between a $300 and $3k guitar, but none of them will be immediately obvious in a listening test.
(Not meant as a criticism of the video, I really enjoyed it and love these sorts of comparisons, just thought I'd add my two cents)
I agree, I feel that he could have at least used two guitars with the same pickup type for this comparison.
I get the idea of this video, but shouldn’t the comparison be between a cheap guitar and expensive guitar that have the same style pickups? Single coils and humbuckers seem to be biggest difference here sound wise.
He's using the bridge pickup of his strat which is a humbucker as well as the majesty so that will be a fair comparison
Harvey Velasco That looks like a single coil on the Strat to me. Plus that’s what Strats normally come with.
@@brandoncollins4125 the color of his bridge pickup on strat is zebra so you can't see the black part and only see the white part of the humbucker. If you want proof you could check on some vids of jared using that strat or his guitar collection.
Harvey Velasco Gotcha. Thanks for the tip.
I can make 'em sound like a $10 guitar. So proud of myself.
@King_of_Dragons ok marty friedman
This just shows a good guitarist can make any guitar sound just as good no matter the price or style of guitar therfore just get what you can afford and are happy with then play till your fingers bleed and carry on till you get good same goes for any instrument to be honest
Why use to wildly different guitars?.... the style of pickups alone make a huge difference in sound. In one hand you have a strat with three single coil pickups (how you got a fender strat for $300 is also questionable) and in the other is an Ernie ball with two humbuckers.... even if you had two $3000 guitars next to each other those pickup selections alone would sound wildly different. I want to see a video with two guitars with at least the same pickup configuration going head to head. I loved the riffs you chose and the setting you had. You could really hear the difference in how those two styles of pickup sound!
Can someone PLEASE tell me where I can find a fender strat for $300
A guitar store obviously
You might be able to find one used on reverb/ebay/whatever other online market
Yes I know you can buy these guitars, I'm saying it's really unrealistic to say that they're only 300 dollars. Real fender strats are usually at least 450. Some times you can get lucky and find them for a little bit cheaper, but it's kinda unlikely.
@@drakehrdina183 expensive guitars are usually nicer to play and they also sound better than cheaper ones and I'm talking about the ones that cost 900+ dollars
@@drakehrdina183 but for beginners I would recommend spending maybe 500-700$ on a fender strat
The question is... where can you get a Fender Strat (even if its Mexican) for 300$?
Rico Walter used
Well, I live in Germany and here it is hard to find a used Strat for under 500€ (~600$).
Your comparing a Stratocaster with both single coil against a guitar that uses humbuckers.
You are playing metal, obviously the humbuckers will win.
Right. I was going to mention this. This whole thing is a waste of time.
except for the fact that the strat he was playing it's an HSS ( humbucker, single, single ) and he was playing the strat on the humbucker position...so this all make sense :)
+bolvio bolvi your tripping man... thats 3 singles
+Ross Carey nah u trippin...the bridge is a hum it's just black and white, the black blends in
It sounds better but not $2700 better
I paid $3500 for mine, but all my idols recorded theirs with $300 guitars! Great vid Jared. Cheers!
so the final lesson is
if you have a cheap guitar, use the distortion
The music man sounded a bit better but not 2,700€ better
Though there is a difference in sound, I wouldnt say it is a 2700$ difference.
I just found this older vid, but if you happen to read the comments I think doing the same basic challenge but having both guitars dual or single PU's and just swapping the pickup from one to the other. That way we can tell if it's just the PU or the guitar itself. Love ya man and keep up the good work.
Wise man once said, expensive guitar is for the player, not listener
The Music Man sounded better than the strat, but not 2700$ better
Music Man sounded like $300 for me
In a studio environment, you can easily save the $4700 in post. Live, the Strat will shine every time. Heavy distortion setting actually goes to the Music Man.
fenders clean tone is better, but i prefer distortion from the majesty
Jared forgot to activate the piezzo system ^^
I think that he should compare at least two similar pickups configuration... The strat sounded like a strat and the Majesty like a Majesty...
The Strat was builted to sould thiner and brighter and the MM, fuller. Not like a Les Paul, but still fuller. That's the diference to me... Your amp still did 80% of the job in my ears.
comparing single coils with humbuckers?
He used only the bridge (humbucker) pickup for the Fender.
I think they both sound good because of the riffs, but the Music Man sounded darker
