You failed from the very start by using lifeless, sterile modeling garbage. Sounds disgusting.

I'm looking through old Smeer videos right now because I've heard that Ryan passed. So sad. I knew him personally - a great guy. Rest in peace, Ryan. You won't be forgotten.

Rest in peace Ryan.........love you man.

How are you Bryan? Haven't seen you around in a long time.. You okay or did you kick YT.. Hope all is well just wanted to check in, Peace Bro. RocOn.

I just bought a Fender American ultra HSS strat currently on sale from Fender plus another 10% off from GC and paid $1822 before tax. The suhr is $3500. The Fender comes with a case and strap locks as well. Not being a professional musician and not needing the greatest, most expensive guitars made, i appreciate very much that Fender can produce such a quality guitar with modern features and playability at a much more reasonable price. I do prefer the stainless steel frets, but at over a $1500 savings, I can live without them.

Hi there man, I'm very curious about the neck, what's the difference between AM Pro II and the Suhr in terms of neck playing, what neck is more comfortable and faster? Thanks!

Fender all day for modern comfort and feel but the Suhr all day for sound. The noiseless pickups just don’t cut it.

To my ears , Fender Tele sounds quite a bit more twangy than the Suhr. Suhr has nicer low end bit fatter tone.

Guys that play this bad should no make gear reviews. You should know your limits

To each their own but one thing that you missed is that the slector switch on the fender engages both humbuckers and the signal gets hotter and darker. But if you think this is a fair comparison then fine. I just think you're not doing the fender justice.

Was surprised how much darker the Suhr is. Actually preferred the Fender. I guess I'm not a fan of darker sounding teles.

Suhr has much, much nicer fuller voice

I dedicate this beautiful song my beloved mother Helen she diead at Covid unfortunately RIP i Will be Always Love you I Swear....Goodbye...😔❤️🥀🌹🥀

Bad azz video. David Black rules!!

Regrettably I sold my Suhr Classic custom T (2008) a year ago, paid just under $2600, sold it for what I paid. Only sold because I decided to thin the heard. Big mistake. I purchased an Ultra Tele about 6 months ago, spent $85 for a set up, only to bring. It back to my guitar tech last week to correct the “fret sprout” and have the bridge screws sanded down, they were cutting into my palm, and a string ferrule was popping out the back of the guitar. The reason I’m bringing up is that I never had a problem with my Suhr and I’ll be ordering a new Suhr next week

Nice video. I've never owned a suhr... but I've owned about five teles...squire affinity and cv... and fender performer, American pro II, and now an ultra. The ultra does sound brighter than my other two American teles... but not nearly as bright as the CV tele. It may be the ultra pick-ups that sound brighter the thinner body or neck compared to most other teles. In person the Ulta sounds quite good. I think my other American teles sound fuller and the ultra more focused. I think my others may sound a bit better clean... especially when using the neck pickup...is way clearer... but I much prefer the ultra in overdrive... the ultra almost sounds like it has humbuckers in comparison... huge difference in overdrive. For the look of take the ultra any day of the week... but for prices I'd take my others... the ultra is in another league in terms of looks, feel, and ergonomics... better than any other tele I've ever played.

clean neck fender : 4:22 clean neck suhr : 5:04

No competition, the Suhr sounds way better. I'm really impressed with them, I think they actually sound as good as Lollars

I call foul on this comparison. There is enormous emphasis on the false harmonic throughout this video which the suhr’s pickup gain shows displays better based on the amp and EQ. In addition, the Suhr sounds like more of a rock/blues guitar here and I would never hear it as being able to do more… which of course is not true. And, I would not limit the pickup options while comparing them because at that point excluding versatility comparisons altogether. As a person that owns Suhr and Fender guitars, this is by no means a proper display. I can only say the Suhr makes this musician sound better at the his personal limited baseline.

I am connected to the iconic sound of a strat so suhr strats aren’t really my thing (but they’re great) but I have never been super connected to the tele so the fact that the suhr t’s don’t sound exactly like a tele is a plus for me. I have a suhr classic t pro in trans butterscotch on the way right now 👍

I hear more of the sound of that maple fretboard :P

when you say : we are using brass ! i understand what all this about 😂 ok fender is better 👍

The advantage of stainless steel frets isn't just the wearability. You never need to polish them, they're always silky smooth for bends. Accounting for the humidity here in the mid-Atlantic region, frets and can get gnarly, get a patina and start to drag on bends, especially with slightly used strings. Double that when gigging outdoors in the summer. You will *never* have that problem with stainless steel frets.

Nice demo of two great guitars. The Suhr sounded quite a bit warmer and thicker to me than the Fender while still sounding like a tele. I thought the Suhr was definitely better sounding on the neck and bridge pickups but I liked how the Fender was a little quackier on the middle position. But if I had to pick one, I’d go with the Suhr.

Thank you very much for making this video. You shared a lot of great information, but there is one metric for comparison that you did not mention--weight. The Suhr has a very nice, ash body. I am about to buy one that only weighs a little over seven pounds. The Fender Ultra in my local Guitar Center weighs much, much more than that. I mostly play standing up, and a guitar that heavy will give me back pain pretty quickly, so for me, the Ultra was a nonstarter for weight alone, and I am also not fond of its thinner neck profile as compared to the Suhr. Thanks again for the great video!

Suhr to me has more defined sounds in three different positions, during the clean portion of test! Distortion however was pretty even to me.

Humbucker clearly on the Fender

SPOILER no sound comparison in this video

Suhr sounds fuller. I had a Fender Ultra and hated it. It's got a weird tone control on it and it so thin sounding. I have a Hansen tele now and absoluty love it.

Fantastic playing sounds really awesome. Wishing you all the very best 🦡❤️🤘

Personally i think Suhr is way over priced and have the same arrogance that PRS exhibits.

This is a comp that needed to be done as many Tele purists are missing the point. Fender is undoubtedly attempting to compete w/boutique builders and IMO Fender has done it. Obviously the Custom Shop and MB instrument is next level stuff but it’s plain to see that Fender is raising the bar just a tad on a guitar costing $2k as it should. Ultras are not meant to re-invent the Tele or edge out the bitey classic Tele as much as they’re on offer for someone like me that wanted a more modern and versatile take on a guitar that really can do anything…depending on a few things of course. The new Ultra & Luxe Teles are great instruments. It’s a shame that the Luxe even needs to exist just to get ss frets though as this needs to be standard at the Ultra level IMO. However, unless you’re playing a guitar death or planning on keeping it as a forever or even heirloom guitar, the nickel fret spec will save you some cash. Furthermore, bear in mind that nickel is used on many Custom Shop models as well. Still though it’s a point thst I understand players being frustrated with. Nevertheless I love mine. I have played the Suhr and it does have impressive specs but the price also dictates this at $3k. To me, the Suhr just didn’t justify its asking price but they’re fantastic guitars and hold their value. I do enjoy the bridge better on the Ultra, the locking tuners, and the neck profile. I’m still on the fence w/the 4th gen noiseless pups but this can be changed if desired. To have all these high spec options even at current crazy prices still gets you in well under Custom Shop prices unless you feel the need to pay a premium for someone to beat up your guitar for you.

A numbing amount of monotone words to say very general things.

With all the pedals and tones availability for electric guitars, whether someone buys one of these or the other will come down to the contoured back of the ultra and/or brand loyalty.

Everyone builds a fender better than fender ! All the features that Fender has are years too later ! Suhr and Anderson are still way ahead, the neck on the fender is made horrible ! You don’t need a skunk stripe ! And one feature you ignored is the nut on the neck is in the right place ! So your in tune all way up !! The saddles on the Suhr are cut so the guitar is in tune ! Sir you really are very Not informed ! You shouldn’t be doing reviews ! You don’t have enough knowledge!

I'm undecided between this texas tea ultra or the ultra luxe 2tone sunburst. The ultra luxe comes with ash body, stainless steel frets and a few other upgrades but it looks kinda... nice, yet weird with the maple neck - black headstock. I kinda feel like the texas tea one will hold value better since the color is so desired. Also, the alder body/rosewood fretboard/ nickel frets might make it sound a tad warmer?

Suhr sound much better for me

Love your Les Pauls.

For me I prefer Fender Ultra pro max

Excellent performance! Thanks for sharing!

In the U.S. the price difference between the Classic T and the Ultra is only $800. Besides the thicker neck and stainless steel frets, the Suhr also offers a full, properly tensioned Plek set-up, and real single-coil pickups, not stacked noiseless humbucker approximations of single-coil pickups. The Suhr is still noiseless, but not at the expense of "real single coils" tone. Also, no string tree on the Suhr. Lastly, the Suhr is available with your choice of swamp ash or alder, not just alder, like the Ultra. The Ultra has three spec-based advantages over the Suhr. One, it has a much better neck heel, providing much easier access to the upper frets. Secondly, it has that series-parallel option for the middle position, via the push-push F1 switch in the volume knob. Lastly, it comes with an ATA-approved flight case, while the Suhr inexplicably only comes with a gig bag.

The Ultra Luxe would be a better comparison with the Classic T ash/maple. The Ultra Luxe has an ash body, your choice of a rosewood or maple fretboard, stainless steel frets, and the same Tusk nut as the Suhr. Same gloss finish for the body, satin finish for the neck, with the same vintage tinting on the neck. It's a bit closer in price to the Classic T, as well. $2,499 vs the Suhr's $2,999 in U.S. street pricing.

Great job on the review. I just ordered a Suhr Classic T with the same specs as yours but haven't played one yet. I have to vote in favor of stainless steel frets though. I rotate 10 guitar and still wear frets out. I just had two Strats re-fretted, one for the second time. Whenever I have frets leveled and dressed or replaced it changes the action a little to a lot and I hate that. I've put mucho hours on my two current stainless fret guitars and the frets all look new and super smooth. Just data from the field, I respect your opinion too.

Nice jammin!! This has a great Allman brothers feel man!

WoW!! Dave Black sold me so much gear while he worked in the Detroit area at Guitar Center. I never knew he was this good!! This was a treat to watch!

Nice video. Both are different guitars for sure and it would be better to swap out the pickups for a more accurate comparison but nice job so we can all hear the differences. I could make either one sound great so I don't really have a preference.
