Man, this guy right here is a PLAYER!
He is an impressive player. I’d like to hear him say more by playing less. Too much flash is like too much spice.
Ha ha, I want him to shred MORE with that beautiful clean tone
Shhh! Don't tell his boyfriend!
The Energy I get from watching this video is overwhelming, I have to pause and take 30 seconds rest every 2 minutes
This guy is like a steam roller... too much energy for me personally.
@@quantametric good to know
Jay is the perfect combination of well spoken, straight to the point, informative and an excellent player. Wow.
Really appreciate it!
If I might elaborate on that: Jay is the perfect combination of well spoken, straight to the point, informative and an excellent player and actor hired to sell this particular brand of pickups. Wow.
I like to swap pickups every once in a while for fun. Nothing, not one single little thing in the intricacies of R&D development of pickups should ever warrant a price like this. From a business point of view, I kind of respect it tbh: just ask a crazy price and a bunch of people will believe it's _gotta_ be worth it, right?
They all sound amazing and that mainly is because of your great playing. You could make a toilet seat with strings sound good
I know, it doesn’t matter what he plays, he is an absolute wizard
Thank you for taking the time to put this up, it's very helpful and your playing is phenomenal!
Dude! You rock! Great playing! You really understand the slight differences in sound and know how to break them all down very well!
Twangy and surf is why I bought a Telecaster. I grew up with those sounds…Thanks for the great demos.
Dude, you don't need to be selling pickups, you need to be filling auditoriums.
im sure he does both as most working musicians do, piecing together their living. the idea of the "rockstar" who only makes his living playing in a band you recognize by name, is virtually dead. seems like a pretty killer session guy
Awesomely talented no doubt
Love your energy, expertise and enthusiasm. Great review. You're an awesome player! Beautiful tones.
I came back to this. I just love the way you play! About to build a Tele copy with students at school as they complete their projects.
this guy is nuts , that’s triple harmonic to mimic the sleepwalk slide guitar was insane at 2:50
Thanks :)
Wow. Best product demo playing I’ve ever heard. Seriously. Not just skill, but entertaining, informative, and to the point.
I like the curly maple on the first tele you've played, thanks for demoing these I've been looking for a good set of PUPS to upgrade my mim 50's tele
I love that in between position of the jazz set. It's close to a strat. Perfect for funk and the 80s West Coast pop/soul a la David Pack/ James Ingram.
Yes
love that you actually enjoy what you are playing. that makes the review way more useful.. real. thanks :)
set speed to 0.5 to make him sound and look like he just returned from a pretty wild pub crawl
LMFAO! I had to set it to 0.25 just to be able to see his fingers moving.
Holy Crap. I just did that and busted a gut! I didn't even know you could.
He sounds normal at 0.75.
Dude he sounds plastered lol
@@chasefairchild8790 the only thing missing is him giggling for no reason at all
That first tele is gorgeous. I love the look of Bigsbys on a tele.
If I was selling pickups, you'd be the one I'd want to demo them. Super nice personality, crazy playing and technique, very fun. Knowing the tones, priceless. I am a new builder and will definitely consider Tone Specific.
Sick picking dude! I have been looking to mod out my tele and this video was a great help! Keep up the dope content!
I really liked the punchy set...I am just starting out my journey and starting it on a Tele copy that will require new pickups as I advance. I'm mostly a Classic Rock/Blues Rock/ Southern Rock fan, so I think the punchy or blues sets are more in my wheelhouse. This video really has helped me with what I may be looking for in the future. Thanks.
He’s a monsta! Wow. Impressive! Love his playing and energy.
I really liked the Jazzy. Love those tones. Thank you for the examples.
Yes! I've been waiting for this one…
Dude, you've got some killer chops. Respect!
I got what was at the time called something like their Country for Tele set and have never looked back. Whatever they have created now has got to be great as well. Thanks Jay.
Bro I watched for the pickups as I’m building a tele but holy crap did you have me roped in with your playing. You are unreal.
Great series of videos Jay, thanks. I always enjoy watching you play a Tele. My preference would be Twangy, and I enjoyed hearing your brief version of Sleepwalk with the help of the Bigsby.
Ah man, and I love the dedicated video you did on the Twangy set. Heaven!
Thanks so much! They definitely have sizzle for days :)
I love the way you play. I'm looking at building a Tele kit, and decorating it with antique advertising.
Damn dude, that guitar tone in the intro was awesome.
I'm putting the tele together right now , Ash body, Rosewood neck.. I played mainly Progressive heavy stuff but I love the cleanliness ofbguitar-amp... and it found through 30 years and change of playing that I like lower output pickups I use Bill Lawrence for years and when you measure them there are below there sometimes 10 ohms and less, Dime bag knew ;) great video gonna view the others now.....so many choices
Thank you, I enjoyed and appreciated this video. Nice chops, too.
Nice review man. They all sounded really good. I'd personally lean towards the Bluesy set being that I like to play blues and it still has that classic tele sound.
Great video, I just built a blackguard tele and I'm not sure what I want to put in it, you're enthusiasm descriptions and playing was phenomenal , this may take a while, I liked them all 😳, thanks 👌
do you do your own electronics/ wiring? I am interested in hearing other people's experience as I am looking at modding my tele.
wow that is hands down the best playing during a tone demo ive ever heard wowowowow
great sound samples of different impedance in tele pickups, well done mate, cheers from oz
absolutely the best comparison demo. thanks so much
Really appreciate it!
Thanks mate this vid was a great help. I'm looking at a Jazzy set. I like it for blues and funk. Kudos
Great video. I have just put a Dimarzio chopper T in my Hansen Tele. Game changer! For a covers band it gives you everything.
Sweet demo!.....thank u for the demonstration!
Love the country twangy pups.Need more info PLEASE!
I’d go see you play if you were around RI.GREAT PICKING!! Ray
Fuuuu... barely a minute in, and you remind the world why you're like the most exciting players to listen to! Astig! Pro - straight to the point. No fluff. Straight up ear goodness!
Great video man. Punchy would definitely be the set I would be going for. I'm actually looking for a set for a Squier Tele I just picked up.
Amazing player, great understanding of sound. Your Tele video is a must see!
Thank you for demonstrating the clean sets. I've noticed TH-cam guitarists often start with overdriven sounds and only get more distorted as their videos progress. That, and the posturing statements about their loudness and gigging, make videos like yours more appreciated. Peace.
LOVE that Blues set!
Excellent tutorial... awesome demos !
I think you just make everything sound awesome! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😂😂😂
Another great vid J...I have to go with the spanky twang, although they all sound really good.
I have to agree with you, they all sound amazing.
Great player and great presenter. The high energy kept me wathhing! Love the enthusiasm - keep it up!
Really good video and comparison. I would love to see you do the old strat vs tele vs lp kind of videos
Great job Jay! Thx.!
All nice sounding! Those Jazzy ones were nice and creamy for sure!
Thanks for your videos! Good job, man!
Nice playing. Those pups do sound classic to their genres.
Great comparison and great video!
Nice work Jay! That Jazzy set is sweet.
Very nice, and informatory! Thanks
That point made with punchy about cutting through a band I think great point never mentioned enough with pickups or amps sound etc , all of them sound very good my favorites are 1 the Twangy for great Tele sound , 2 Punchy , Jazz 3 and the blues set but I think could live with any of them . Yes great guitar playing sure adds to all Thanks !
Somehow, I need to achieve ALL these with my one Tele. Hehe. You're a beast, by the way.
Awesome review, Jay! Here's some mods I just ordered parts for my G&L ASAT Bluesboy - Bigsby B5 and swapping out the Alnico humbucker in the neck with a Lollartron. Looking to get a little more surfy/Spaghetti Western love out of her :)
WOW to that playing, great vid.
Damn son, dude knows how to play! My vote: Jazzy ..surprising considering I came into this almost sure I would dig the Punchy one the most. Go figure? Sounded slick can't lie.
Love the twangy set very much
Really nice man. You bring those pickups to life. It's all about the twang when it comes to the tele for me. I have plenty of guitars, but I have four sets of pickups for my tele. :) Pole magnets, bottom magnets, over wound and under wound at the bridge. Mine is cut for a P90 at the neck and the staple pickup rules. I hate muddy pickups, they go straight into the "not quite ready to throw them out" parts box.
Nice touch with the color grading.
Magnificent playing! I have many Telecasters - all with slightly different sounds-making a choice of these four pickup combos more difficult because I first have to identify what's missing from the instrument sounds I have. Each demo led me to say - "yeh I could use that"...then the next demo and "yeh" again. So I'm more perplexed than clear on anything. However - first inkling is to go punchy. I think the added power would add an element to my Tele sound spectrum. Very preliminary thought however. Your playing makes me want to crawl into a hole and never come out. (40 years of string wrestling). Thanks for the video
Prob can't go wrong with any of these 400 dollar pickup sets.
I liked those Twangers but I think you sold me on the Blues.
Especially when you said Tube Screamer and fuzz.
Nicely done!
The Strat video was really good so I came back for the Tele.
I think a Tele will be my first build. Those blues pups will be the voice.
Blues are great! Have fun with the build :)
Wow I loved this video. Just got a classicvibe BSB tele and possibly wanting to upgrade the neck pickup. this may help me make a decision.
Love the sounds! Twangy and bright is good!
Nothing better than watching a demoer enjoy playing the guitar!
That was great.
Panalo..astig..galing mo bro..good job..i kinda love to have different telecasters..thanks for this nice pick ups/guitar eviews..keep it up
Great video 👍
I would choose the punchy because those fit my style of playing best !
I run the Seymour duncan qourter punder in my bridge on my 1962 Rosewood Ash body telecaster. It has high crisp tone and its must to beef it up.
So there you have my choice 👌
Best regards from Scandinavia Sweden 🇸🇪
Subbed - so many Classic Tele tones properly demo'd + explained - off to the 4 vids next
- once you realize the Strat trem is a pain... you realize how many diff styles of Tele's there are
- Standards and Customs and DeLuxes and Nashvilles and all in Thinlines
- sold my strats except for a superb Kahler trem one and off to find a Tele
You are one HELL of a tele player!
This is a GREAT video. The pickups all sound very different. I’d get the 52 Twang for originally Tele sounds and 51 Jazz for a second Tele to play… jazz. I like the Rock ones too, but I’d stick with a Strat for that kind of sound. Again… fantastic video (and killer playing man… super talented!).
Edit: Holy moly, these are expensive pickups! They’re all $395 in October 2023. Yikes!
Nice playin’ and a ton of great info...
Damn... you're an incredible player!!!
Edit:
I've watched this video a bunch of times now over a few day period. Jay is the best guitar player... that's it. He's just the best! His finger speed, the soul he puts into it, etc. Obviously i don't know how to properly evaluate a guitar player.. but to my ear, he's the best.
Man I could listen to him play all day!
Great comparison thank you!
You're a good player. Thanks for this video
I love the sound of the jazz set. But if I was to put a set in my guitar it’d probably be the blues set. I really enjoy that sound when playing.
Firstly, I need to apologize for robbing you. I've been stealing from you like crazy.
I've been copping your licks from these videos for a lonnnnng time,
this video will keep me busy for hours,weeks..
I just copped that 50's song "Sleepwalk" from your twangy demo..THANK YOU! You made my evening.just got a new M300 Reverb I'm playing with,that song sounds mint!
Haha, steal away! I've been a thief for years :)
Hi Francis, did you write a tab for those licks ? I'm looking for them.
check out modest mouses take on sleepwalk called sleepwalking (couples dance only)
great tele guy, straight to the point.
Fantastic video and fantastic player
Man, I love to see all this love for Telecasters! I honestly can’t afford to buy Fenders, but I have an 8yo Squier in vintage butterscotch, which I’m putting pickups into it from a 2021 model Bullet Telecaster, and I have an Artist clone, which has dual humbuckers in it, and I’m building a Tele kit in zebra wood and using Tonerider Hot Classics, and I now have a thin line clone which I’ll probably eventually throw new pickups into. I’d really like to build a Nashville Tele with a tremolo bridge in a relic style, and I’d love to build a John 5 signature copy which uses the 3 humbuckers. One day I might be able to afford a Tele, I’d like an 80’s model in butterscotch, or blonde, but I’m a lefty so it won’t happen. I’m already planning out a build on a sea foam green vintage style with binding, and a bunch of trick parts, and probably a Strat neck, just for something different lol.
Man, with all the piece-parts and supplies you're getting to build those other Tele clones, you can probably afford to buy one. Have you added up all the money you've spent on those builds?
I'm on my second build now and just the cost of the raw ash body and the unfinished maple neck set me back about $300. Then there's all the finishing supplies (lacquer, sanding materials, etc.), the hardware, and the pickups.
Only 90k views in 2 years?
One of the few videos that let’s the playing do the talk.
Hell yeah, it's fantastic! This totally just speaks the language.
That is some playing...superb.
I like them all. But my favorite may be the punchy 1st Jazz 2nd.
I have a 87 mij squier tele with joe barden pickups. They give me all 4 of your tones. Cheers
I'm a 41 years old man from Argentina and i'm recently discovering the telecaster sound and country music. Man it's difficult. Wish had a teacher to learn that technic you use in the twangy.
I like the punchy pickups, for the hard rock stuff. I love my blues, don't get me wrong, but I play classic hard rock as well.
Was the last set "Punchy"..Seymores Quarter Pounders???
amazing video , thanks .
Love watching this bloke play.
I really appreciate it :)
Mr Jay , ur makin me plum dizzy tryin to follow what ur doin . Hearinn likein those pups for sure .
This guy went through like 10 songs in 30 seconds at the end, amazing.
You are a very happy man. I like your enthusiastic..
Man I love your energy!!!!!!
Awesome talent too
Awesome vid man
I know you have read all the complimentary comments, but dang man can you play!!! I am just a lifelong beginner and I know you have touch and feel and one heck of an ear to have developed your chops.
I really appreciate it! Thanks so much
@@JayLeonardJ You are welcome, and thanks again for posting this.
That bluesy and punchy pickups are quintessential to teles, and brilliant. For me, though, has to be the jazzy. Especially with the clarity in the neck pickup.
The top on that first telecaster is so beautiful
