Which 'Strat' do YOU prefer? Fender vs Suhr vs Xotic vs Rutters

I'm not a strat guy at heart, but no collection/tool box is complete without one so I decided to pony up and buy a Fender Custom Shop and see for myself how it compares to my Suhr Classic Pro I've owned for a few years now. My new guitar is a 2020 Fender Custom Shop 65 Journeyman Stratocaster in one of my favorite color combo's ever, Charcoal Frost Metallic with a tort pickguard. The pickups were swapped to Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Surfers by the original owner, which from what I could find online most people deemed an "upgrade". I thought comparing it to just my Suhr would be a bit odd, mainly due to the humbucker vs single coil bridge so I asked my buddy Sean if he'd be interested in partaking in a bigger comparison of our four S-style guitars. Thankfully he agreed and we were able to shoot this video!

Stay tuned, we're going to swap the pickguards on the Xotic and Fender and install the same set of strings to see how much of a difference the pickups really make. Subscribe so you don't miss it!
