I really didn't expect to hear Tifa's Theme in a gear video! That was awesome 💚

[brownpunk]

love how he plays the SAME riffs so we get a true apple to apple comparison great work!

[dogguitarbluesman]

Great..no talk just hands and sound..100% what guitar players want and love THANK YOU

[ayItsFranklin]

Man dude take me back to being 12 in 1998 with the FF 7 stuff at the beginning. That was awesome, sweet playing.

[ravendemo]

I swear Orange makes single coils sound like humbuckers. Orange and Fender are a match made in heaven!

[louaguado]

You guys do the best comparison videos! I love the way you do quick changes. Too many other channels do so much minutes on one that you forget what the other one sounds like. Keep up the great videos. Oh and man was I surprised at how much brighter the Strat was. Sounded weak while the Tele sounded thick and full.

I've always been a Telecaster guy. A more classic sound. Easier on distortion. Lovely reverb without a ringing but rather a twang on it. And it just seems much more iconic to me even though majority of the greats were know for their Strats.

[KRAZEEIZATION]

The Tele is probably my favorite because it’s only got three options where as the Strat has 5 and I’ve never got a great overdrive sound on any Strat I’ve ever played. It’s fizzy and loose. Great for lead though. The Tele is the big brother while the Strat is the pretty younger sister.
I’ve a Vintera 50s Tele and it’s awesome.

The Tele is such a sexy guitar. Has that old school rock and roll looks and the chome gives it that more premium look.

[garikdjan]

In this recording, the telecaster has more lower mids than the strat, so the strat sounds "brighter". A small EQ pedal at the beginning of the chain and the sound will be indistinguishable :) A matter of opinion

[silvasen]

best comparison video, no complicated words, just the sound of the thing to help you make up your mind

[ryanmaly]

The strat is too chimey or tinny sounding to me. Much brighter. The Tele sounds more balanced and full. I prefer the Tele for sure.

[ObeyTehKetchup]

this is an extremely underrated video. great work!

[kaiksC-]

Thanks for brigging my childhood back with Tifa's song.

[IvanRx]

Dude, thanks a lot for no talking, keep the awesome work!!!

[laleiros]

Came for the Fenders, stayed for the FFVII themes !!

[marcs.]

Great comparison. Loved the FF7 tribute in the first sample :)

[karma]

I love the loose, bright and funky sound of the Strat. Definitely my favorite ❤

[michaellombard]

Great job, quick snippets for comparison. Tones are so close, especially under distortion. Under clean settings I can hear more differences.

[blainebaxter]

For me id go for the tele for dirt tones and the strat for cleans
