Strat VS SG: Which one does it best?

[@Ledzepfan88]

I vote SG.

[@alferdjuhimovich9037]

Taste and genre makes the difference. As an SG owner my answer is obvious. SG is more fun to play and more versatile one here. But strat shines in other positions as well.

[@alexandrehosken3358]

For this song SG

[@blueskyguitar772]

You're right! Every guitar has its place. Thanks for watching!

[@OutnBacker]

For crunch all day long, it's the SG. For smooth, flutey, tones with screaming potential, it's the Strat - neck pickup, tube amp.

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

Don't play both sides of the fence. Just be strong and say SG.

[@folderol8487]

Maybe, but SG neck pickup + rolling off tone knob = "woman tone". I've yet to hear a Strat that can come close.

[@voiceofexperience]

The two best electric guitars ever made. I have both.

[@voiceofexperience]

(Strat neck pickup is better; SG bridge pickup is better)

[@Baltihunter]

No les Paul? Get the holy trinity

[@10199ULTRAMATIC]

@@Baltihunterdon’t forget the tele, the godfather of all electric guitars

[@ShaneStoneOfficial]

Tele/SG are the greatest guitars ever, not a strat imo

[@hamdog8872]

Recently got an SG and been a strat guy for years. They both have their own vibe. I think the humbuckers in the SG are fatter sounding but i like the necks on both. I think fender has a better controls layout and bridge setup.

[@bluwng]

Which one is lighter on average? I like lightweight guitars and have found Strats, on average much heavier than I imagined they would be .

[@mr.coolio4321]

​@@bluwng I can't say for sure since I don't own either, but I am pretty sure the Strat would be heavier since SGs have very thin bodies; having said this, you may have to combat the neck dive in the SG.

[@hamdog8872]

Strat weighs more. SG neck dive isn't an issue with a wide strap

[@CraigCrowder]

Maybe the SG for this solo. I think Strats are more versatile in general

[@blueskyguitar772]

Thanks for watching! Both great guitars for sure!

[@chzzyg2698]

I'll give it to the SG, because I like the sound of buckers better.

[@Baltihunter]

Just what I was looking for 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 I’ve an84 strat but I fancy an SG

[@carlschumacher3257]

SG all day long.

[@folderol8487]

SG. It has the clarity and articulation of a single coil but is tremendously ballsier. The one area in which the Strat is superior is that the Strat is a somewhat better platform for effects pedals.

[@kevinlegere8557]

The SG is preferred for the lead solos due to ease of bending the strings. The strat would be ideal as a rhythm guitar. I own both. Awesome guitars any way you slice it.

[@thegrandpencil4374]

Yeah but, Hendrix lol

[@blueskyguitar772]

Fair enough!

[@nicholassakamoto2455]

I’m a Strat guy all the way.

[@CarlosPianist1]

SG❤

[@sebastianbahamonde5449]

I have both, haha. You can't compare an allen Key with an Open-end wrench. Two different Tools, for two different purposes. Think about it....

[@kresimis]

SG is better guitar than Strat.

[@kresimis]

SG

[@danielhartman5086]

The SG

[@brucemerryman7365]

I want to love the strat so bad but I’m just not getting there. To be honest I’ve not played one but I did purchase a silver sky and returned it because I have the controls setup and the feel of that tremolo under my palm. In all fairness I’m a 61 year old that can’t play well at all.

[@blueskyguitar772]

Took me a long time to realize I'm not a Strat guy either.

[@christoscholevas]

Can't beat an SG 🤘🤘🎸🎸

[@dave23024]

I'm surprised how similar passive single coils are to active humbuckers. I thought they were going to sound way different.

[@thegrandpencil4374]

It's when you get into high volume, high distortion that you really hear the difference. Two completely different animals then.

[@dave23024]

@thegrandpencil4374 Yeah, that makes sense. It's kinda funny that my two favorite guitars that I own are a passive humbucker Ibanez, and an active humbucker Les Paul. Two opposite ends of the spectrum.

[@michaelwillis2198]

Where did you see that these are active humbuckers. I thought they were passive in both

[@dave23024]

@@michaelwillis2198 Oh, sorry. That was an assumption on my part. The SG humbuckers had covers on them, plus it's the same circuit as a Les Paul, which usually are active pickups.

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

SG.

[@yurvedicenergy3214]

Sg ❤❤❤❤

[@aleksandarparipovic1450]

SG 👍

[@indranilchatterjee4492]

I vote Strat neck pickup . Always

[@blueskyguitar772]

Always a great sound!

[@musicnasa666]

Same hit

[@vs_830]

tone down strat and check again)))

[@porschepal7932]

Strat is better for blues SG ks better for rock

[@Boi359]

I have sg best

[@doctorskull8197]

I’m 68, been playing electric guitar in various rock groups for 60 years. Owned and played ever type of guitar there is and I never cared for any kind of Fender guitar. Sound too weak and thin IMO.

[@thegrandpencil4374]

Hendrix at Woodstock, Voodoo Child. That is anything BUT weak. Straight up atom-bomb stuff. lol
