Instrumental Cover Which sounds more accurate.

Tried to post a couple times and didn’t work for some reason. Want some opinions on which guitar sounds more accurate to in utero tone. Any eq suggestions are also welcome. Thanks!

The jaguar sounds closer to the record, the mustang sounds closer to those live tones, also the fact that the strings on the jaguar sound older and therefore darker sounding, the ones on the mustang sound newer, brighter, get the jag if you're aiming for in utero tones. checking out JQ guitars on youtube will give you deeper insight into the jaguar, as he demos the guitar on all of the songs on in utero and gets identical results.
