I live vicariously through you my brother. I'm in GAS rehab but keep your new gear coming as I love your channel. Maybe it's me but I think the pickups sound amazing for a budget guitar. Especially in positions 1-3-5.

Very Cool Joe, Thankyou. Congrats. Awesome looking and sounding guitar. Very Nice. I love my 'old'(2012ish I believe) "SUB Silo -3" (in Dave Gilmour Black ..lol) Totally amazing guitar and The 'Assymetrical' Neck on mine is the most comfortable, fun neck I have ever played. Enjoy, I am sure you will. They Rock. All the Best. Cheers

Body woods are listed as different, Poplar for the 20 and Jabon for the 30. The 20 is listed as having a "Vintage Fulcrum Tremolo" while the 30 has a " Fulcrum Tremolo". The dark fingerboards are different, the 20 has Amaranth while the 30 has Laurel. Funnily enough, the 20 is listed as having a dual action truss rod while the 30 has a single action. Just checked Sweetwater and you can see images of the back of the headstock, the 20s are made in China and the 30s are made in Indonesia.

The CT-30 comes with a Jabon body or Poplar depending on the color , as I state in the video. Good catch on country of mfg. I don't notice any quality difference with the Chinese made versus Indonesian.

@@AJgeartalk I guess I was looking at the specs for a certain color and assumed they would be the same as none of the finishes show the wood under the finish. And while Indonesia is known for making quality low priced guitars, China is definitely making strides in the right direction.

I suspect the CT30 is being discontinued. Sweetwater has them marked down to $199 and the listing indicates that the item will not be restocked when sold out.

Music Man does make some sweet guitars. Looking for something different though. Have been eyeballing the G&L Tribute Fallout 6 string lately but it's not easy finding a black one. Might have to get a black Player II Mustang instead if a black Fallout doesn't turn up by Black Friday. Cheers!

They are good if you are serious about playing. I copied the machine head set up when I built my first guitar in 1978, but I did not know it.

Amazing you get a curved neck joint and truss rod adjustment in the base. That's something you don't get with a Squire.

I'm also confused about the CT20 vs CT30 thing. My hunch is that it's a distiction without any big difference for the buyer. Possible that the CT30 is being phased out. Or maybe this is just Music Man's version of what Fender does with the Squier Affinity vs. Bullet with the CT20 being positioned in the marketplace like the Bullet and the CT30 being positioned like the Affinity. I see ProAudioStar is still doing the CT30 in the buttercream color (my favorite) on Reverb for $200 new (without the 'used' or B-stock label.) But there's not a darn thing wrong with that white color on the CT20 and Musician's Friend is still doing that deal although it's backordered.

It would appear the price difference is down to where they are made. The CT20 is made in China and the CT30 in Indonesia.
@AJgeartalk

Odd because Squier bullets and Affinities are priced exactly the same whether made in China or Indonesia. I think it has to more to do with being competitive with the abundance of well made $150-$200 guitars.

No string tree? Gotta test the whammy bar to see if it stays in tune. Hard to complete with Chinese guitars brands nowaday. You got to open it up and see what electronics it comes with. I think the tease is a better deal, stainless frets.

The MM 6x2 headstock is designed not to have a string tree. Never had tuning issues with my Cutlass guitars. This is a budget guitar. Will have budget electronics. Don't need to open it up to determine that. I'm only concerned with the build quality and feel . It exceeds both.

Both are good budget options. Like the neck. Stock pickups are great. Like the neck adjustment wheel on the cutlass.
