This sets the standard for how all sound comparison videos should be made!

[@stefbarone]

That's the BEST comparison!! Same phrases, same guitar model, same settings, and even the spectrum analyser!! Well done, you're the top!! :)

[@dzgflaco1]

Great comparison! Helped me make a decision. Got them both!

[@damien6685]

Excellent review I'm looking at one of these and you answered all my questions Mission accomplished

[@robertstager6538]

Cory - Fantastic review, especially with the frequency spectrum readout! I have the one with P90s (I am a lefty, and HB only sells that one.) I have P90 to mini humbucker adaptor rings and a pair of Guitar Fetish Minitrons I am about to put into this guitar. I am hoping the Gretsch style mini hums will add a bit more sparkle and definition to my sound. I like the articulation you get from Gretsch style pickups. They seem to fall in between single coils and humbuckers, giving a bit more beef than single coils, but also giving more clarity than humbuckers. Will see how this works out. I re examined your review to get an audible idea of how this change in pickups should result in my guitar. Thanks again for your very methodical, logical, spot--on review!

[@rickflippin1]

Man you are on fire with your channel good job I’ll use your link already subbed

[@thewest6128]

Really cool, overall I prefer the humbucker sound because it have more body and sounds bigger.

[@alessandrogiangio4837]

Thanx a lot Cory for this very useful review on two of the most outstanding semi hollow body ever made in this class of tag price. Merry Christmas!

[@CrowsBrother]

Suggestion: Thomann should pay you a large sum of money,- your demos are going to sell a lot of guitars. Merry x-mas ! ;-)

[@CoryMura]

CrowsBrother thanks! merry Christmas!

[@M2m154]

this was just what i needed! Danke mann! p90s for me, persoanlly. I just like the way they sound funky, but not really strat-like at all. that's a useful quality to me!

[@LLT79]

Very nice comparison, but I still want both! XD Keep these videos coming, they are very unique!

[@stephanpayne1841]

Thank you Mr. Mura, I've played exclusively acoustic instruments for almost my entire life. Indian and middle Eastern variety stringed instruments with mics at a larger venue. To cut to the chase I'm a newcomer to the guitar at only 3 years vs over 45 yrs on the other instruments. I could not tell a single coil from a p-90 from a humbucker if you held a sitar to my head. Your video just made the distinction between p-90s and buckers very clear. My next challenge will be the single coil pups as used on many Fender type instruments.

[@jimidrammer4187]

Awesome comparison. I'm new to HB's, got 2 and 2 more ordered. The TE90QM is on my list. The blue w/humbuckers is great for high gain but I want the P90's for that chimey hum-cancelling mid position clean tones.

[@charlesharper7292]

Been thinking about this for a while. Way I see it, is you can take the red guitar and do anything the blue one can do. Except blue has a bigger bottom end, and the P90 one has a bridge tone that's so damn good! That clinched it for me. The red one. I have a couple more P90 guitars and I think they most of the time are my favorite.

[@charlesharper7292]

This is the comparison I was hoping to see. Thanks Corey. I do like the humbucker at the bridge, but a p90 would do well at the neck.

[@swarm5532]

great work man! amazing demos and attention to detail

[@moontheloon1969]

great comparison cory, very,very close but P90s for me

[@Chris1Kent]

yup agree with sam blue 1 looks and sounds the better of the 2 to me

[@samu64]

The blue one is awesome.

[@JWS1968]

Suprised how similar they were on the overdriven sound. They did sound different but considering the P90 is basically a single coil...

[@maxamgilbert]

The P90s humming like hell

[@CoryMura]

more gain = more differences! isn't it? 4:43 gain on 3 6:05 gain on 5 8:16 gain on 7 and boosted

[@bobbya8622]

The blue one would be nice. Much better sounding to me.

[@RandyBurnettTalks]

I want the Blue one with the P90s SO BAD Come On Harley Benson make me just1

[@BoltRM]

Maybe you find someone who has the red, but wants humbuckers & swap pickups. :)

[@briandevitt6903]

Awesome video bro. Well done.

[@hitmakerstudio6405]

nice playing Cury like always.. I prefer the blue one!

[@jcoulter43]

Just catching up on some of your older videos. Love both of the finishes on both guitars. Never have been a Tele-shape fan. Both sound great and are priced where buying both is an option. Would love to see that Blue finish on the CST24 or other Super Strat shaped HB's. Keep up the good work!

[@ArjenBruin]

I had to put my headphones on so close did they sound. Both sound actually very good. I have a slight preference for the P90, it trace more definition I would say. Thanks for this video I loved hearing them back to back. Great job!

[@CoryMura]

+Arjen Bruin i think of reshooting the video with my newer setup. eganter tweaker head and a sozer cabinet with a jensen falcon speaker. the setup now sounds more 'open' and can show the differences better imo. interested? 😊 thanks for watching

[@ArjenBruin]

I surely am interested. I was actually very impressed with both of them. Great value for the money. Again excellent review you made. My compliments and keep it up. I look forward to hearing your new gear

[@IriaGarayu]

Yay! Mr. Mura likes Alterbridge.

[@anestisdaniels5572]

nice review.....as always.........

[@rveurope]

Thanks for the nice review, went there and bought that blue humbucker guitar and a black one with P 90 s looks like a Lp..they are easy to play, that Tele is a beast! I also bought an LP studio and a couple of other gadgets..once at home the coil tap button of the Lp fell off first use..so quality control??? Even at this price point..

[@marcg4449]

Ppppölöpp

[@haus05]

if the blue one had chrome covers on the humbuckers and a coil split id buy it instantly

[@xoxo-pp7ru]

Just mod it 🤷

[@haus05]

Daniel71 I don’t want to buy a cheap guitar to throw more money in it though .. I want it for what it is .. a cheap guitar .. I have 4 expensive guitars and one relatively expensive bass ... I just want a cheap guitar that I don’t have to worry about ya know ?

[@valueofnothing2487]

What are you doing playing plain chords so we can hear the actual sounds? And waveforms? This is amazing. I was all set to hear another useless comparison video.

[@RaphaelLowMusic]

hm i like the p90s in the neck, but humbuckers for the bridge... hm. red speaks to me more. so red it is. LOL

[@reallyMosh]

🔥🔥🔥

[@barqbusker6597]

I think Im gonna get the red one and put a mini humbucker in the position.

[@LarsEBruhn]

A great comparison video. What I wonder is, do you think it is possible to mount a Bigsby tremolo on Them?

[@LarsEBruhn]

It is possible. Check out KZbin video on the subject!

[@wernermoser3406]

Weight ❓❓❓

[@colmwatulikededazio973]

Honestly , from here i could not tell them apart...

[@syncro16se]

P90s definitely sound more alive to me.. or rather the humbucker sounds more "controlled" - a bit "dead" in comparison. A matter of personal taste I guess.The P90 really sings to me.

[@TariasNiniel]

thats exactly what it sounds like to my ears too ^^ Got a p90 guitar and love it. Just the hum especially with gain can be a bit annoying :D

[@etyramone2000]

Danke, toller Vergleich zwischen den beiden. Im Allgemeinen mag ich lieber Humbucker aber hier sind die P90 doch lockend. Welche ist deine Lieblings ?

[@CoryMura]

ich favorisier die blaue. bin einfach auch ein totaler Humbucker typ. wenn ichs mal "dünner" brauche dann bau ich mir einen Coil-split ein :) hab trotzdem noch beide hier...gehören irgendwie einfach zusammen. die rote sieht übrigens geil aus mit schwarzen P90s ;) danke übringens

[@etyramone2000]

Das war aber eine schnelle Antwort ! Ja, da hast du Recht, Humbucker haben etwas zugleich Schmutziges/Fettes und mit einem HSS Konfiguration kann man alles. Jedoch hätte ich gern die Rote mit Humbuckers gemocht :-)

[@jonnywishbone2182]

i think you should use a song/songs to c pare guitars(it's easier to tell the difference when you're listening to something familiar i think i) great view though

[@CoryMura]

+Jonny wishbone no, because of copyright issues

[@jonnywishbone2182]

Cory Mura n copyright issues if it is for learning purposes also no copyright if you only play part of the song(I'm just saying think people would connect more if they heard the type of music they will be playing when they buy the guitar)respect

[@jeffs2485]

Cory is right. Only playing part of a song doesn’t protect you. You can still get a threatening email from their Intellectual Property lawyer. While they are unlikely to actually sue you they are obliged to protect their IP. (Yes I work in this area).

[@jonnywishbone2182]

@@jeffs2485 So how do you explain the numerous guitar tutorials on KZbin that play the song the whole way through?

[@jonnywishbone2182]

@@jeffs2485 Also all the guitar covers? And yes they're monetesied.

[@movingforward1981]

Not much in it but I must be hearing something different as the humbuckers sound better to me.

[@xesus8964]

p90 for ever

[@alexanderson5760]

how much weight this guitars?

[@Zmajinho81]

Gibt es die Humbucker auch als LH?

[@brin57]

So basicaly the same except one hums and the other doesn't. I see why you decided to sell the p90 one. it was redundant

[@colmwatulikededazio973]

No help on that decision im afraid..cant tell them apart..

[@wilson36532]

p90's sound awesome but they don't react well when you play them out in bars and stuff. atleast in my experience. they pick up a lot of interference.

[@UmVtCg]

Use a noise gate

[@dukeofdominoes8354]

I say p90 neck and humbucker bridge

[@instrufox_music3568]

Humbucker sounds better

[@skippyi6969]

those p90's sound like muddy shit in overdrive
