🥹 Thank you so much! This style of video is honestly a pain in the ass to edit lol it's super tedious and takes forever to make the transitions seamless. So I really appreciate it!
Great video Eric!! So cool to hear these two guitars side by side. The editing cutting back and forth between each guitar is seamless too! Fantastic work dude. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos man 👏
Thank you so so much! Editing this style of video is honestly kind of a pain lol it's super tedious and takes a long time to line up every clip perfectly. So I really appreciate the kind words and am happy you enjoyed this one! More to come 😃
The Compstang sounds more heavy and gritty while the Skystang sounds more cleaner, but I digress both guitars are beautiful in their own respects If I were to design a Kurt Cobain inspired guitar, I'd use the Hotrails from the Compstang and the Seymor Duncan pickups from the Skystang.
i cant even describe how happy i get when you release a video and i know its gonna be the highest quality nirvana content ive seen. you know so much about the band and are so knowledgeable and its so admirable and i wish i could be a fraction as successful as you doing something i love. your so good at what you do and your tones and covers are so accurate, i sometimes think you might be a reincarnation of kurt lmao. just keep doing what you do you’re phenomenal! R.I.P Kurt and long live the Legacy of Nirvana 🔥🔥🔥
Hi, I've been watching your channel for a year now, I really love your videos. Watching your videos, I learned how to play most of the Nirvana songs, although these are not tutorials🙂.Greetings from Russia!
Overall, I prefer the sound of the Comp Stang, which really surprised me, because when I clicked on this video I fully expected to prefer Skystang 1. They're both such beautiful guitars, and they're unique in their own ways. Also is that the vintage SansAmp you're using, sounds so close to the record!
One side A guitar from fender replicated in 91 and appears in the most listen song music video: FENDER MUSTANG 91! In the other hand A model that gets attencion,not only for the colors and pickups But for the icon that use it FENDER SKYSTANG I! (For me,the mustang sounds raw and fuzzer,which for some it's good. But this time i will get the skystang,sounds more cleaner for my ears.)
Man, they both sounded really good, so they both win!! That was an Awesome shootout though!! The editing you did on this video is Immaculate, you did an Awesome job!! For the next shoot out, I’d like to see the vandalism Strat versus the k Strat! Also, thank you for putting out these videos, and all the hard work you do to put these videos out, it’s very much appreciated!
Honestly really good comparison. Still think the Competition sounds better, hot rails are really awesome, especially through a distortion pedal. Sort of clarity to them. Good video again, Eric!
Killer tone as always! Comp Stang definitely sounds a little more mellow than the Skystang that sounds a little louder,but overall both still look and sound great! Would be cool to see a three way shootout between the K Strat,the Vandalism Strat,and your new Tom Strat!
Hello ! Im a really big fan! You should try to recreate the boombox rehearsal come as you are tone since its ur favorite song , personaly i would love to see a video like this!
I would say both, but if I have to choose one, I’ll say the competition mustang it has more depth into it but other than that, those two are really nice. Love your work.❤❤❤❤❤
The differences are clear, but more...subtle...than I expected. I'm not sure if I'd hear a huge difference if I weren't listening carefully. I definitely like Skystang I more, though. Clearer and brighter while still packing one hell of a punch.
I think i prefer the compstang. probably only because i like the colour. how about the stella harmony and the martin d18 e for the next 'shootout'? or the hi flier and the epiphone? great video as always!
Would love to see Skystang vs K-Records Strat… OR, Comp Mustang vs VMA Strat. Mainly to hear the difference in similar kinds of humbuckers on the different instruments. Great videos, thanks!
I can't choose. Love the brightness of the single coils on single notes and low gain but the growl and power of the humbuckers under higher gain. Can't go wrong with either.
I have been waiting a long time for this type of video. Thank you for these style of videos and keep doing it. I´m so surprised how both guitars sound almost the same. I always thought that soundwise the Hot Rails can´t match the fullness of fullsized humbucker but I was wrong. Only difference in my ears is that Hot Rails are hotter, more distorted and they lack clarity in high end a little bit. I prefer the sound of Skystang but looks is Competition for me.
Glad you enjoyed it! The hot rails can definitely stand their own against a full size humbucker. I also prefer the high end clarity that Skystang's JB has, but both sound great!
@@NirvanaGuitars You can compare the K-Strat and Vandalism, since both have full sized humbuckers and only difference is the position of pickups. That would be cool video. Nice concept and keep em comin, thank you!
Great tones from both guitars. Possibly would be cool in the future for a shootout between the Phase 4 Hi-Flier and the Epiphone ET-270 or the Vandelism Strat and the Country Telecaster
My suggestion is probably a pretty popular one, Vandalism Strat and Jaguar. These two Mustangs were surprisingly similar, but I think Vandy and Jag might be different enough to make things interesting
Skystang wins for me. Sounds more powerful. I always find double stacked single coil size humbuckers lack the punch full ones give. I always have to turn my amp up to compensate 😅
I know you’re making a lot of Nevermind and In Utero era videos but I was wondering if you can try to recreate the tone Kurt had at Rhino Records on June 23 1989.
The tad bit more brightness and clarity makes me like the skystangs overall sound just a little more, although some of distorted tones sound really good on the compstang
Awesome comparison video! Have you check out the Tom Clarke - Nevermind album. The story goes that a kid named Tom Clarke recorded himself signing over the Nevermind Album and give it to someone for losing the original Nevermind tape.
Must...ang we choose? They're both amazing and legendary. There's no competition 😉 I have an original red 66' Mustang and a 90's Sonic Blue re-issue. I swapped the pickguards for the hell of it having no idea what I was doing...Mistakes were made. But my original 66' Sunburst Jaguar survived.
I had an Idea that you could do! You should make a video comparing 2 guitars and letting the comments choose which one is the best tone wise. Then take that guitar to “challenge” another guitar, Then on the final episode you’ll reveal the winner and what guitar is the best tone wise!
I actually got to see the SkyStang in Seattle in June of last year for my birthday, got a picture of it and everything. I'm most likely biased but I probably prefer SkyStang
I’m new to the channel and at 64 I’m just getting into Nirvana. So, I basically have little idea as to what you’re all talking about. Is there a good book to read that would basically explain his guitars and life etc? Basically a deep dive into Cobain and Nirvana? Great video!!
Skystang has way more mids and highs while Comp Stang has more bass and more balanced tone (makes sense as it has a rails style pickup), you can hear how despite being a humbucker sized single coil it does still has a bit of that single coil characteristics
Skystang, but only barely. I think the difference most noticeable during the clean versions of About a Girl. The Skystang had just a little more authentic Nirvanyness to it there. A little more of a ring to it maybe? Distortion pedals made them sound the same. Both sound awesome.
The Skystang 1 sounds clearer and handles distortion better, thanks to the full humbucker. In any case, the hotrail has a more compressed behavior. I don't know, I love the sound of the competition one. A video comparing the two channels would be great. Kurt's and Pat's. what and how each one plays, the same part of the song
It’s missing songs look like curmudgeon and if you must. Those would give a wider array of what the guitars sound like with multiple pedals, rather than basically just demoing distortion and chorus for an entire video (that’s not bad, I just would like more variety, and I liked that you did curmudgeon lash shootout, you should keep that one) Also, you should do a bleach era shootout, epiphone vs hi flier Overall pretty good video Eric, cheers
Great video Eric, have you ever thought about making a video recreating the tone of nirvana on that new pedalboard called "tank-G"? It would be very interesting to see
Hey Eric so I went to visit my uncle and he gave me his fender Jaguar HH 94 red burst, it sound really nice!
everyone is talking ab the guitars but these transitions are CLEAN
🥹 Thank you so much! This style of video is honestly a pain in the ass to edit lol it's super tedious and takes forever to make the transitions seamless. So I really appreciate it!
I just love the Comp Stang soooo much. It’s so gorgeous. The tone is so similar as well.
Hard to choose over both of these guitars both legendary guitars also definitely the hi flier VS the epiphons ET270
Bleach era guitar comparison! Really love that idea, will definitely do that!
@@NirvanaGuitars can’t wait!
@@NirvanaGuitars A comparison of the vandalism Strat and the VMA Strat would be cool
@@Cryforhelpp good idea bro!
oh wait bro beat me to it
The K strat and vandalism strat next ??
I second that good sir.👍
agreed k strat and vandalism would be awesome
Yeah that,d be interesting to see
yes 🙏
i would love this so much i LOVE the vandalism strat

If I were to design a Kurt Cobain inspired guitar, I'd use the Hotrails from the Compstang and the Seymor Duncan pickups from the Skystang.
The next opponents should be the red Epiphone and the white univox
I was thinking of some crazy idea, which is, Mustang vs Jaguar vs Jag-Stang?
Comparing each part of the Jag-Stang equation!? sounds like total madness... but I love it I'm totally gonna do that! Thank you for the suggestion 😃
Dude that's awesome😁@@NirvanaGuitars
i cant even describe how happy i get when you release a video and i know its gonna be the highest quality nirvana content ive seen. you know so much about the band and are so knowledgeable and its so admirable and i wish i could be a fraction as successful as you doing something i love. your so good at what you do and your tones and covers are so accurate, i sometimes think you might be a reincarnation of kurt lmao. just keep doing what you do you’re phenomenal!

wow I don't even know what to say! Thank you so much for the support and kind words, can't tell you how much I appreciate it! 🙏
you’re welcome!!! i just want to support you all i can! i really admire you!!!
Skystang is just appealing visually but man, both guitars sound very fantastic that you can’t go wrong with either one.
Those guiters are gorgeous love it man
The tone with the comp stang on heart shape box is amazing
Gonna have to go with the Skystang. There’s just something about how the JB in particular sounds that just does it for me
Hi, I've been watching your channel for a year now, I really love your videos. Watching your videos, I learned how to play most of the Nirvana songs, although these are not tutorials🙂.Greetings from Russia!
Nice vid! I have that same shirt. Picked it up at Hot Topic years ago. 😁👍🏼

Absolutely loved this video, made my day better 😊
Hey Eric, you should do a comparison between all of the strats next time!
You, sir, own all my dream guitars. If I could own even just one of those, I would be the happiest man on earth.
The comp mustang sounds so angry. I love it!
hey Eric nice video man!
Vandalism strat and K strat gonna be crazyyy🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
both amazing. i can't pick between the two. great video. well, maybe the skystang by the slimmest of margins
The sound so good. Great setup
I love the competition so much the paint job the pick ups everything absolutely beautiful guitar
Killer tone as always! Comp Stang definitely sounds a little more mellow than the Skystang that sounds a little louder,but overall both still look and sound great! Would be cool to see a three way shootout between the K Strat,the Vandalism Strat,and your new Tom Strat!

So happy. To come across this video because I just put money down on a fender mustang this help me out which guitar I wanna get. Thanks you so much
I love the skystang, it’s such a beautiful guitar
The two acoustic guitars you have!
The differences are clear, but more...subtle...than I expected. I'm not sure if I'd hear a huge difference if I weren't listening carefully. I definitely like Skystang I more, though. Clearer and brighter while still packing one hell of a punch.
Nirvana guitars out with another banger! Hey Eric love your channel and everything you do. I’m always up to see your videos!
🥹 🙏
I think i prefer the compstang. probably only because i like the colour.
how about the stella harmony and the martin d18 e for the next 'shootout'?
or the hi flier and the epiphone?
great video as always!
That’s crazy. It sounds just like in utero.
I would love to see the Jaguar vs the vandalism strat next
i am so jealous of your collection 🤤
Would love to see Skystang vs K-Records Strat… OR, Comp Mustang vs VMA Strat. Mainly to hear the difference in similar kinds of humbuckers on the different instruments. Great videos, thanks!
The Epiphone and Hi-Flier would be interesting to see.
Bleach guitar comparison! Love that idea, will definitely do that!
I can't choose. Love the brightness of the single coils on single notes and low gain but the growl and power of the humbuckers under higher gain. Can't go wrong with either.
Competition Mustang with DS1 sound like guitars on Nine inch Nails songs
The green one has the fuzz, but the pale one has the fizz!
Both guitars are gorgeous 😍
Killer tones. Well done. 🤘
Thank you so much!
LETS GO IVE BEEN WAITING❤
Thank you for all you do) 💓

Nice playing.
Pale blue takes the cake for me.
Skystang VS Hagstrom!
YES clash of the in utero tour titans! Love that idea!
I think we should get Kurt's Stella and unplugged guitar in the next shootout
VMA Strat Vs K Strat??? The two olympic white strats
Skystang wins for me. Sounds more powerful. I always find double stacked single coil size humbuckers lack the punch full ones give. I always have to turn my amp up to compensate 😅
Great video! I would like to see a shootout of the et 270t and the univox hi flier
I know you’re making a lot of Nevermind and In Utero era videos but I was wondering if you can try to recreate the tone Kurt had at Rhino Records on June 23 1989.
Next vid should be a shootout between all your Kurt strats like a Mexican stand off😂😂😂
The tad bit more brightness and clarity makes me like the skystangs overall sound just a little more, although some of distorted tones sound really good on the compstang
Awesome comparison video! Have you check out the Tom Clarke - Nevermind album.
The story goes that a kid named Tom Clarke recorded himself signing over the Nevermind Album and give it to someone for losing the original Nevermind tape.
Vandalism strat vs K strat would be a good video 😁😎
If you haven't already could you try and recreate the tone for "you know you're right"
i always wanted to see bleach era vs nevermind/in utero era guitars go against each other with the same songs, there isn't much of that on the channel
Epiphone ET270 vs Univox Hi-Flier, I think is good idea
Must...ang we choose? They're both amazing and legendary. There's no competition 😉 I have an original red 66' Mustang and a 90's Sonic Blue re-issue. I swapped the pickguards for the hell of it having no idea what I was doing...Mistakes were made. But my original 66' Sunburst Jaguar survived.

Would love to see About a Girl, played clean and distorted, on Univox vs K-Records Strat vs Jaguar vs Mustang!
I actually got to see the SkyStang in Seattle in June of last year for my birthday, got a picture of it and everything. I'm most likely biased but I probably prefer SkyStang
It's gotta be SKystang 1 for me. I really dig the sound of the humbucker more, felt like it worked with the pedals really well.
Please make his sunburst strat it’s my favorite
NOTI GANGGG🎉🎉❤❤
I’m new to the channel and at 64 I’m just getting into Nirvana. So, I basically have little idea as to what you’re all talking about.

@@NirvanaGuitars I Got A Blue Squier Jazz Master Mini For My Birthday In 2022 That Looks Like The Color Of The Blue Jag-Stang
I wanna see the mosrite in the next shootout!
Bleach era? Hi flier VS Et270 maybe, or really anything with humbuckers vs the hi flier
Skystang has way more mids and highs while Comp Stang has more bass and more balanced tone (makes sense as it has a rails style pickup), you can hear how despite being a humbucker sized single coil it does still has a bit of that single coil characteristics
Vandalism And K Strat next!
The univox with the et270 would be a good vid

I feel like the K strat vs Vandilism would be a great match up

Good shootout. Would like to see the Hi Flyer vs Strat next.
Also, where can I get that shirt?
I bought a boss ds2 and its amazing :D
Awesome. The light blue one is a bit better in sound
vandalism strat and k strat?

Amazing 😮
