'Tele' and 'Strat' Battle Of The Classic's! Fender vs Macmull Guitars Demo and Comparison

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Check out my demo of the Macmull S Classic and T Classic here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXvPkKOElK-ob7s

[@jacobcardinal8041]

Am I the only who thinks the headstock looks cool?

[@hmm4959]

I think it looks fucking hideous

[@valebliz]

I loke it on a Telecaster body

[@dd52161]

yeah.

[@arbazann]

I can't even afford a squier.

[@buzzlightwork]

Same

[@wheresallthezombies]

Pretty cool but honestly I preferred the fenders.

[@johncarlo7395]

Me too

[@utkarsh_Shrivastava]

Came here just to hear you play

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Awh shucks ;) Thank you! :)

[@EdEddnEddyMercury]

The differences were very subtle. I honestly couldn't choose which I liked more. Both great sounding guitars

[@ShaiBaruch]

Macmull sounds so much better. I played on these two guitars back and forth for 2 hours.. Macmull guitars are more open, better note separation and way more cutting!

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@ShaiBaruch]

Btw, your videos are dope! And I like your guitar playing!

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Shai Baruch thanks so much man!

[@ShaiBaruch]

@@HarryAndAGuitar Of course! hard work needs to be appreciated.

[@mitchconnerandsometimesjlotoo]

@@HarryAndAGuitar can't beat a harley benton. I don't know why they cost so much though.

[@johnseaton1967]

I think Fender without a doubt wins in terms of pricing, looks, and sound. I don't understand why pay thousands of dollars for a strat and tele copy.

[@dragonsquare2802]

I write this without having heard your conclusion.. (listening through my phone speaker) The S types sounded pretty simular in my ears and without considering playability etc I couldn't choose which I would prefer. The Ts, however, were very different. Macmull had more mids and sounded overall fuller. The Fender was more on the hollow/midscooped side. Here I prefered the Macmull in basically every sound clip. Very nice video and playing, bro!

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Nice man! The main thing for me with both guitars was better dynamic range, string separation/balance and presencey high end/clarity that the macmulls seemed to have! Thanks for watching! :)

[@dragonsquare2802]

@@HarryAndAGuitar yeah, man. Dynamics are probably a thing you rather feel than hear I suppose.. but yeah.. they stood a bit more upfront in the mix.

[@moshingclubtv]

Pretty cool headstock!

[@emiliomonaco4553]

sound the same but the price of fenders are cheaper in price

[@sgostt2158]

Lovely playing, and totally agree with your very thorough and insightful verdict between the two brands. Thank you for the excellent review. 🤙

[@crumchy8608]

Macmull's sound so much better, and honestly if I could swap out the neck and pretend it's a Fender I'd do it in a heartbeat. Beautiful guitar.

[@benink5690]

I'm more impressed with the "Heart of life" than I am Hendrix or srv. Nice work

[@justsofrivolous]

Yeah I agree with you about the sound of the macmull’s but at that price point and this is just my personal taste I really don’t like the head stock design. Friedman did a much better job but that’s just a personal preference thing . Great playing as always 👍🏻

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

It’s definitely something that grows on people too, I like how they look and even if I didn’t, the sound outweighs everything for me, great great guitars!

[@randallakatsuki5654]

Do you still have your yellow tele and your Black strat?

[@ja1212az]

Macmull is amazing

[@mruncletheredge]

Thought the Macmulls were more crisp and punchy. The Fenders were a tad bit warmer... Guess it totally depends on your taste and what you're willing to spend cause those Macmulls don't come cheap...

[@marceloramos8927]

My dude, as always, my respect to you, you are really great with the guitar. PD: A very quick question, maybe a bit unrelated. How do you mute the guitars in the tracks you are covering? Could you do a tutorial for that, or at least give a quick explanation, I'm new to playing guitar and I'd really like to play as if I was playing with the band, haha, but hearing the guitars in the track kinda bothers me. Thanks in advance my dude. :))))

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Hey man! I don’t mute them, I just raise my guitars volume louder, will also be making a series of videos about how I make my videos soon too, so keep a look out for those! :)

[@marceloramos8927]

@@HarryAndAGuitar thank you man. I appreciate the response.

[@limonemoji3719]

you play so nice and you deserve muuch more subscribers

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Thanks for the kind words man! :)

[@simonebarbisan4490]

Hey man great video. I prefer the Fender, I think it's warmer and crisp in a nicer way than the Macmull and I also think it's cheaper maybe? Just an advice: the natural harmonics in Lenny by SRV are between 11th and 12th fret, not between 12th and 13th as you played.

[@simonebarbisan4490]

SORRY MY MISTAKE. I NOTICED NOW ON THE GUITAR THAT I'M WRONG EHEH.

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Thanks for watching and commenting man! :)

[@CastlesMadeOf...]

Everyone banging on about the headstock... Yes it is not as good looking as the F but you cannot improve on perfection! In my mind I think they should change the body shape slightly to go along with the headstock so they have their own guitar and not a half strat half macmull. In terms of sound they all sounds great - I think we over analyse tone these days. What is important is which one FEELS the best. Great work on the comprehensive vid Harry

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Thanks for the kind words and watching man! I can say this for sure, I’ll be making the switch to Macmull, they feel and sound incredible, quite an astounding difference in both aspects in person! :)

[@prashant97]

What is the riff he starts playing around 5:32 ?

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Bold As Love - Hendrix ;)

[@prashant97]

@@HarryAndAGuitar sorry my bad, 5:32.

[@beefysinglecut]

Actually, IMHO, Macmull sounds like a Fender Custom Shop. It sounds more resonance. But The '59 sounds way more vintage and has more character.

[@benink5690]

Seems like the Macmull does what you ask it to do. The Hendrix Macmull sounded way more like Hendrix tone than the Fender too lol

[@theoverstoker3430]

I’ll take the macmull strat and the fender tele

[@jpl1107]

Are both strats the same scale?

[@fumeokid]

Great playing ! Thanks for the comparisons!

[@guitarfrozenintime]

Personally, I think the Fender Strat sounds creamier and I much prefer it. Imagine if Macmull were the original designers of the Stratocasters and Fender was the custom builder, we would say the same thing about how terrible the Fender headstock is, just because we are used to seeing a Macmull headstock.

[@furkanzurkan]

Love your videos, can you make full cover for Vulfpeck's Back Pocket. Keep it up!

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Yassss definitely need to do some Vulfpeck covers!!

[@kathrink.6836]

Please someone help me! I am a beginner and I wanna buy a guitar! I like music like arctic monkeys and stuff but also punk pop, like green day and sum 41. What guitar can I get under 300€?

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

Anything from Harley Benton would be perfect for you! :)

[@kathrink.6836]

HarryAndAGuitar Thank you so much I really appreciate it! I’m gonna search about them right away! :)

[@kathrink.6836]

But it is going to be okay if a choose with single coils or I have to take one with humbucker?

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

@@kathrink.6836 if you're into all the indie stuff and some pop punk I'd go with a Telecaster style guitar, as it can do all the jangly single coil stuff but the bridge pickup can also get quite rocky :)

[@kathrink.6836]

HarryAndAGuitar Oohh okay thank you very very much! :D

[@timothymarcus1935]

what is the song that u played first?

Are these guitars worth 6000 dollars ? Lol helllll no. I’ll enjoy my Mexican strat thank you very much

[@ozlion152]

There's something fundamentally wrong about having an uber-expensive design knock-offs. At least try to inspire us with a dab of 'modern' alternations like Silversky not that they're completely justified but at least try to convince the price tag ffs.
