Amazing to watch and hear about the heart, sweat, time and all the hands involved in building this instrument and you finally getting to play it at the AMA. Really cool to watch all the clips at the end from Joe, Max and Aaron. A true labour of love, built by friends and it looks and sounds awesome

    Every time I watch one of these videos I wind up pulling out my '53 Tele and playing it for a while. I was in Nashville in the early to mid 80's touring with Ed Bruce. I had Joe do some fret work on the '53, he had a small shop in Leaper's (Leeper's?) Fork, an old house converted into a work shop. At some point I had an idea to have a Strat pickup installed in the old tele (I know what folks would say now but it was different back then, I bought the '53 from Johnny Meeks for $400.00 10 years earlier, and it was pretty beat up by then, way more beat up now, not a collectors item) so I took it to Joe and asked if he could do it. I had him make a pickguard so we wouldn't cut up the original. I also used all Seymoure Duncan Hot Stacks for this mod (sometimes the lights on a concert stage or TV studio would just make a Fender buzz way too much). A lot of guitarists were checking it out, either on the road (sound checks) or at The Opry (Leon Rhodes once chased me down back stage at the Opry to ask about the tone I was getting). I don't think I'm the first guy to have a Strat pickup installed in a Tele, but I hadn't seen one before mine, and I did start seeing them more and more after that (and a lot of them were using the Hot Stack, but I think that was Joe's recommendation to me). After I left Nashville I put it all back to original. On my first visit to Joe's shop he was building a Tele for Jerry Reed, it looked like an old Black Guard Tele but Joe made a neck that had the feel of a classical guitar (what Jerry usually played) and I believe it was a bird's eye or flame maple neck, something very figured. Joe's a good cat, I got along with him right off, I think every one would say the same thing. You always remember the good cats. Great video Zac, as always.

There's a chart in the Fender Vintage guitar info (or just Vintage guitar info), web site (independent from Fender USA) that shows which color went to what make car. Like Fiesta Red is from '56/'57 Ford T-Bird, etc. It's kind of interesting.

    Beautiful and versatile instrument, Zac! I've built a few teles, and one of mine - like yours - has a highly-figured birdseye maple neck. Surprisingly, it's one of the most stable necks in my collection. I say "surprisingly" because I had been led to believe that figured maple was less stable. Maybe the thickness (0.93 at the nut) and v shape of my neck helps with stability.

    That's pretty funny Aaron ended up doing the heavy lifting after Brad painted it. And Joe gave approval to use the decal.
    Very cool bro.
    Seriously cool. But you really deserve the "Last Glaser Bender Guitar" you really have been Joe's advertising guru. Between you and Buk, you guys have built that brand beyond any advertising budget possible.
    I know a couple guys who have old original Glaser Benders in WA state. But whether they let em go or not... well, I'm on the list.
    I still don't have a "Glaser Made" in my collection, but I do have a very early Glaser Bender. I brought that body and the parts by Joe's shop in 2020, right about when I started installing his benders as an official installer. (Before I broke my back) Serial numbers were around 104-109.
    The first real original Glaser I had, I traded for a tweed case and some other stuff at the guitar show at the old Nashville convention center in 1996 or 97... I sold the body to Don Kelley sans Bender, but I got it from Pete Mitchell (Ernest Tubb's Troubadours)
    Crazy how that was so foreign to everyone back then. Only a handful of players even knew what Benders were back then.
    I find it interesting also that what I call my boost coils, which were wound to 6.6k, then tapped and wound to 8.2 k seem to have wound up in your guitar as well.
    I guess great ideas are not exclusive.
    But I would love to know when Seymour decided to do that? Considering I'd already done the 5/3 set 8 years ago.
    And my boost coils have been extensively used with openings acts for Brad for almost a decade.
    But again, you can't patent an idea in use. I learned that from Floyd Rose.

    Killer episode! That’s a really cool guitar. In about 1989 or ‘90 I saw an ad in Guitar Player from a guy in Minnesota named Tom Bremer, who was selling B-bender guitars in a few different price ranges-he offered G&L ASATs with Glaser benders, or you could get a custom partscaster with either a Glaser bender or a Parsons-White. So I bit the bullet and went for it. I wanted the Parsons-White bender, because at the time I’d never seen a Glaser bender, and I didn’t want to change the balance point of the guitar, which I figured might happen with the Glaser having the strap button lever on the neck plate. I’m used to the way a stock Telecaster hangs on the strap, and I didn’t want to change that. I knew that a bigger chunk of wood would have to be removed from the body for the Parsons-White, but I figured that was the trade-off for having the upper strap button in the right location. So I went over specs with Tom, and he quoted me a very reasonable price for this thing. What I got was a swamp-ash Tele body with a quilted-maple top, single-bound, finished in what Tom called “two-tone orange burst”, which looks like a slightly-faded cherryburst. The neck was made by Alan Manship, who, I was told, had formerly worked for G&L. It’s flame maple with an ebony fingerboard, abalone dot inlays, medium-jumbo frets, and Schaller tuners, with the low E one replaced with a Hipshot D-Tuner Extender Key, which drops the low E to a D. Tom initially put some old Fender pickups in it, but I didn’t like them-the bridge pickup was from a Broadcaster (!), and as I recall, the other two were from the 1960s, but they were all well past being usable; the bridge pickup would squeal like a pig when presented with any kind of gain even at very moderate levels. I sent them back to Tom, and he told me that he’d sold that same set of pickups several times, and they’d come back each time! He sent me a set of AlNiCo EMGs, with their Strat Presence control, which was basically a midrange boost, so I had the volume control, the SPC, and the tone control all crowded together on a Tele conrtol plate. I played it with the EMGs for a while, but they never sounded like a Tele; they had too much midrange, even with the SPC turned all the way down. I can’t fault them for sounding like, well, EMGs, but the guitar didn’t sound like a Tele any more. I managed to get a set of Van Zants, which sounded great, and they’re still in the guitar. I figured a guitar like that needed a special case, so I got one from a place in Southern California, whose name escapes me right now, but I don’t think they’re in business any more. It’s a normal Fender-style hardshell, but covered in metallic gold saddle-tooled vinyl, with brown leather ends and handle, and an eye-watering hot-pink lining. It didn’t cost much more than a black or tweed case would, and if the sun was out you could see me coming a block away! With the guitar in it, it’s pretty heavy, and the handle has gotten to where it cuts into my hand, so I think I’ll have to retire it and get a heavy-duty gig bag instead. Kiesel offers what they call a soft case, but it’s really thickly padded, and is almost semi-rigid. I have one for my Kiesel Aries guitar, and it works fine. I wouldn’t want to fly with it unless they’d let me carry it on board and put it in the coat closet, but for everyday use it’s fine, and much more protective than a gig bag. I’m not gigging these days anyway, so it’s a moot point.

    Zac you cover some topics about guitars and amp details that most people over look. I never hear anybody discuss tele knobs? Rick Kelly and a few other builders/ restorers use high dome knurled knobs, I love them! You may have some on your collection. You will have a hard time finding a provider, I know, I’ve tried. I think the knobs are just as important than any other part. Those knobs come in handy when using a lot of volume swells or rhythm to lead increases. This is just what I think is a subject over looked. Maybe or not there is enough info to make an episode about them? Love the channel! Thanxz

    I have almost the exact same story. About 1991 I called up Joe because I had seen Jimmy Olander and I just love that Guitar. But he told me he wasn't making Guitars anymore. So I had a guy in Oklahoma build me a telecaster and I had Joe put in the two benders just like Jimmy Olander. It must've took over a year to get my guitar back lol. This was probably 1992. But I've always loved that guitar. Then… In about 2006, I actually found a Joe Glaser telecaster for sale. I bought it. I took it over to Joe, very excited lol. Then he proceeded to tell me that it was stolen from a guy years back. The guy was still alive. So I ended up doing the right thing and selling the guitar to the original loaner. So I guess I can say at least I came close to owning one )))

      @@AskZac yeah, Joe felt really bad. But obviously he said I didn't have to do it. But the guy was super excited because he hadn't had that tele for like 20 years. I took a bunch of pictures of it though. It was a really cool red/gold burst color. And he also said he thought those pick ups that were in it were from really old telecasters. Congratulations on that one. Very nice!

    Hey Zac, are we gonna get the wiring schematic on the new tele? I like the stacked tone/volume better than the Mason 3 pot control plate. Again. Thanks for the videos.

    The letter transfers were called Letraset, I worked at a printers as a graphic designer and I used these transfer sheets.
    I love the Glaser Telecaster, how did they fit the bender? does the back have a cap?

    You knew it was going to get real when Zac got calling them cats, but busting out the correct pronunciation of Takamine? Didn't see that coming.

    Looks like quite a bit of a gap on the low E side of the neck in the neck pocket route... ???

    Another amazing story, you just keep surprising me,zac. I wonder what you mean by “short throw” does it mean that you Can adjust the lever, so that it doesnt move as much? And how? . I´ve Got a Brent Mason signature , and your glaser looks a lot like that and it seems to me that there are some similarities, with the three pickups and the pull button, and similarities in the sounds as well, the country tele sound and the strat “mark knopfler sultans of swing sound”

    Killer guitar. I suspect your herd will get thinned and this one will be your main guitar. It certainly has "the" sound.
