Great video Landon, very interesting mods to the teles as well. I myself have a squier custom 60’s from 2015 that was heavily modified (only the original body remains). Humbucker in the neck (SD antiquity I), SD antiquity I in the bridge, a custom made 500k pots with 0.22 uf capacitor wiring loom, brass saddles, an american original 60’s tele custom rosewood neck and all else :) Even though I have guitars that are more special or desirable, the journey of doing it in the past 6 years or so made it my favorite guitar, plus it sounds and plays so great. Thanks for taking the time for making the video!
I wasn’t a Tele fan, then I was. Bought an Olympic white Mexican (guitar not person). But I ended up swapping it after six months for a frosty green Les Paul Muse (that stays in a case and I never play it because I’m an idiot). The same with a Strat Player series I have. (Stays in the case because I like to hide purchases from my wife). I just can’t seem to pull them out. I end up playing this cheap Strat guitar kit my wife bought me. I put in better tuners, modified a Squire perloid guard to fit and put in 250k pots, orange drop, and vintage Squire ceramic pickups. Painted it in surf green and had it set up professionally. It just feels right in my hands for the softer bluesy tones I like. I found the fretboard on my tele really dry. My fingers would stick to it as it absorbed my soul (sorry absorbed my sweat). Lemon oiled it and it reminded me what I was like at 19 chugging beers!.
Your channel grew like crazy over the past year. Congrats man and keep up the amazing work! Love your Teles. My favourite is the your AM Pro II in the Dark Knight! Your 'Danish Pete' Partscaster is a close second!
I was a poor 1 Squier Strat guy from my teens until my late 20s. Now I have 5 Teles: A Partscaster w/ said Strat’s neck (carved into a Tele head), a Squier Master Series chambered HH (sorta pre-Troublemaker circa mid 2000s), one of those “sandblasted” Harley Bentons w/ Filtertrons, one’s kinda a pickup tester made from really cheap wood, and last is the Whiteguard Strat (basically a Nocaster w/ a Strat body) I only wanted one. But the right deals fell in my lap, and they didn’t break the bank. And I know I’ll end up giving 1 or 2 away to family one day, but they sound/feel so different!!! Gah!!!!
Invest in led lights, as a photographer I can highly recomend them for video production and sorry for hogging the comments sections in your vids it's just that, well I really enjoy your work and find you a personable character even though you have a problem...with tele's....
@@landonbailey Ok , and you still find them warm ??, maybe move them back a bit if you have the room. or get a small fan to slowly circulate the air in the room it's important to be comfortable when filming because because everything you feel and experience comes through the camera into our rooms. Great chatting Landon and I look forward to your next vid , can't wait.
If you asked me the same question, I would answer Andy Summers, Pete Townshed and Jeff Buckley. Still trying to buy my first or get it in a giveaway.😬 About girlfriends, I got the best. Don't need a second. Great work dude. I really enjoy your channel for those Tellies and more.
Looking forward to the deep dive for the Dark Night Tele! I got my Am Pro II Tele Deluxe in Dark Night this week. The color and neck are truly amazing. Made a unboxing & first impressions video that's on YT if anyone cares.
Strap locks! If you want a cheap alternative that's less money but involves beer, get a 4 pack of Groelsch. Those red rubber rings come off the bottle top easily and work as strap locks. I had the Apple decal on my Strat at the time because of Thom Yorke's sticker, but I didn't have the cool rainbow one. Life is struggle.
I absolutely love television casters definitely my no # 2 my #1 is my 1964 black mustang I own only 2 mustang z and I have 4 television casters........ I totally agree with Landon gotta have a tele-caster
Without a doubt the Telecaster is my favorite guitar as we’ll! I love playing others but always come back to the Tele! My favorite one is an old squire swamp ash body with a quarter sawn maple and ebony neck from Warmoth body is butterscotch blond with tortoise shell pick guard the pickups I put on it are a lace sensor neck, middle is a Duncan noiseless stack P90 and bridge is a Demarzio Area 51. I haven’t found any guitar yet that curls my toes when I play it more than this one!
I don’t think we can discount our guitar heroes inspiring us. I love Les Pauls because of Slash and Ace Frehley. The image of Slash in the Sweet Child O’ Mine video made me want to play guitar so much. Unfortunately a Les Paul collection can be really expensive. So I just have one.
When I was 16 I only knew about Strats and they're objectively slick looking and when I first found out there was another ocaster I laughed out loud at how the tele looked. It seemed deformed or intentionally ugly. No matter how I try now I can't see what I saw then. They are very attractive looking to me and it's all I really need to play.
Landon Bailey there is nothing wrong with your telecaster collection. If you like them then its okay! Please try to do another telecaster project as it is not done! My request to you for another telecaster project guitar build is a three pick up similar to stratocaster settings, and like Francis rossi of status quo guitar check out his guitar. Thanks!
The 2016 Telecaster with the Shawbuckers sounded awesome and I loved the tone of the white Tele as well. Those guitars not only sounded great,but 'right's. My next project is WARMOTH Tele shaped body with a WARMOTH 24 3/4" conversion neck--2 guitars. One with a hot Duncan hum cancelling in the bridge and a Strat style hum cancelling neck pickup . The other will be a DiMarzio PAF PRO in the bridge,just one pickup blues rock blues hard rock metal machine!! Have the money saved for one and the next move is to sell one or two if my guitars then I'm in total business .😎🤟🤟😎
@@landonbailey the guitar with two single coils will have a mahogany back with a 1/4" carved plain maple top---I like the tone of plain maple best because it's a bit brighter than quilt or flamed.the single 'bucker guitar will have a basswood back with a 1/4" carved walnut top.this wood combo,when used with a humbucker played thru distortion produces extra growl.while walnut isnt as bright as maple it's close and has a lot of sustain.
I love Teles too. They’re not a comfortable shape, they are a bit ugly. True, but their sound is super versatile and I love them. That Tele bridge pickup sound is my all time favorite.
Love those Lace Sensors 😍 Does anyone else love the black fender logo on the white one? seems like everyone bangs on about the "spaghetti logo"... but i reckon the black one is just classy as 👍
Thanks for sharing your collection, if I could only choose one, it would be the white one and I’d throw a mint pickguard on it for an Andy Summers vibe.
It’s gorgeous anyway. And It’s literally the most versatile guitar ever made. Just in its classic form. That’s to say nothing of all the other configs.
I'm so tempted to get the Chrissie Hynde Signature Telecaster as it's a guitar I've coveted since the 1980s. Whether my playing justifies such a purchase is another matter though...
Welcome to my sick world .... over the decades I have owned a total of 45 teles. As of today I ended up keeping only 15 (those I cańt live without). And yes, telecasters can become a sweet addition alright ... keep those videos coming mate ✔️
@@landonbailey LOL.... by the time you’re my age (57) you will have already owned twice that number (possibly more) he he .... greetings from Mexico mate ...
I'm guessing you like teles.Hahaha ,I've got three ,but always looking at more . 35 guitars and counting,so l need to sell a few before I go shopping . You have a great weekend (everyone included) and keep up the great builds I really like those. 🎸😎
As a young kid I hated tele’s cause they reminded me of country music. Thanks to guitarists John 5 and Jim Root I’m in love with telecasters now. I own 2 right now looking for more. What I like about telecasters is you can play the hell out of them and they won’t go out of tune.
Amazing collection my friend! I love them all. I think the Olympic white 60s Tele is the least attractive looking one. But I think it sounds the best. And don’t get me wrong I think it’s a beautiful guitar, it’s just the least sexy looking🤠
I would have been through after two Teles! Martins would have taken a bit longer at 4! I had two girlfriends, once. Both of them were named Debbie, so no slip ups!
I have that same Beatles shirt. I don't have a Telecaster. I have two Strats. The one you sent me is in open G tuning right now because I bought a new slide. As a Beatles fan I should aspire to get a replica of George's all-rosewood Tele. But I want a 70's deluxe with the big headstock.
I love teles but only have one at present.it makes more sense to me to get differant guitar models with a range of pick ups.but as long as you enjoy playing its all good.....
Your no. 1 sounds very "tele traditional" and yes those necks feel wonderfull but I still think the Purple Knight looks absolutely gorgeous and sounds very individual and somehow you sound, dare I say, better???? different???? whole???? well rounded??? I don't know I think i'm biased toward that guitar because of it's tonal quality and it's striking appearence.
You literally need millions of girlfriends Landon hahahahaha that radiohead on telecaster #02 is a flexxxxxxxx! Gosh I missed you playing radiohead songs
How well do the Fender necks fit to the Squire bodies? My Tele is my go to guitar just love it. But want to make a few different ones but the Squires have some great colours.
From experience the MIM/USA necks should fit fine on Classic Vibe bodies. Other than that I can't say for sure. Bullet/Affinity models may not match the spec size
@@landonbailey Thanks for the tips man! I have a MIJ Tele which is awesome and MIM strat also awesome. Getting a CV Jazzmaster in a few days thinking if I can upgrade parts here and there I can have more guitars but cheaper. The Bends was recorded with a Squire strat so they can’t be that bad.
@@landonbailey quite nice, especially the ones you can split so you have a thinner single coil sound, just a bit more aggressive than a real Tele neck sound
Very nice collection indeed Landon. Unfortunately, I don't have the space for that many. My 2 guitars sit in the living room, and together with my Yamaha THR ii, they are always within striking distance, which I find very handy, that I don't have to go to another room just to pick up a guitar. (I will come to the question later) As you may know, I am the proud owner of Mystic Surf Green Rosewood American Pro ii Tele and I think it is beautiful and wonderful to play. The neck is just wonderful. Anyway, you know that yourself. However.... Fender Japan make some very nice, and not too expensive guitars like their current Traditional series and the Hybrid series (don't like the cutaway in the Hybrid ii series). They have for example Vintage White and for example Lake Placid Blue guitars, both with Rosewood necks. I am very tempted to get one of those directly from a shop in Japan. Have you been tempted to get your hands on one of those and if not, is it not about time? 😁
@@landonbailey You can order directly from some shops. They reduce the advertised price by 10% to exclude the local sales tax and shipping to Europe is about $200 Canadian. A 60s traditional would cost you $1050 Canadian, ex works and ex taxes. This seems a fair price, right?
@@landonbailey No, I am talking about ordering directly from Japanese shops. Guess you could ask a local Fender dealer as well, see if they can order these instruments as well.
Saw your favorite at the end, but I must say at the Fender Prof Series level, it would have been nice for $1,500 USD to have had a belly cut for sure (lighten the weight), and maybe throw in some locking tuners.
Thanks for the video Landon, it's on my favourite subject. I'm detecting a pattern... Fully half of those (most excellent) guitars had 'features' that you didn't know about when you ordered them. Research not your strong-suit or are you an impulse buyer? Also is the neck on that "60s" Tele (the one off a Thinline) actually made the the 1960s? I'm so over Fender calling things by a certain year when they're in fact 'copies'. I have a Tele bridge pickup in my T-Style that I bought new and all that I know about it is that it's "vintage" (Fender part number 005-3782-000). It was bagged, brand new. It's not freakin' vintage!
So I did some better Googling and found that my bridge pickup is one that Fender built for their 1952 Reissues made pre-2012. I bought it as a NOS part. just as 'Fender Vintage'. It would probably suit an Esquire build (not that I don't like it..).
😄 ya I don't read too much into the specs. not sure about the history of the 60's thinline. I just wanted to own a Nitro neck and it was the one I could find at the time.
Yeah the "Purple Knight" is a great sounding guitar and I'm sure it plays as well as it sounds. I'll find which picks up they are because I think I want them for my squire tele. I hope you dont mind me nicknaming your guitars it's just a way my brain remembers things, and you have some memerable fiddles there young man....!!!!
I love telecasters they are fun to play you got a nice colection cant go wrong with a tele some of the greatest rockers played there best on these great guitars every guitar player should have one or more of these in there colection
Please consider the blackout tele review, sometime, as it has two tele neck and middle, then typical tele single coil bridge...fender...pre nashville tele, I think...enjoy your humor!
I might be going crazy but that godin guitar sounded the best to me out of your single coil guitars. Especially when you played The Bends Edit: i just heard the esquire and i like it even more.
My first electric guitar was also black, but an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, sold in a kit with a Peavey amp, strap, cord, etc. Knowing what I know now I wish I'd gotten a Tele, but hey.
@@landonbailey I wish I could have a next time for a first guitar. I made up for it with getting a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele, though. I like that one a lot. Any thoughts on the Player Tele with humbuckers? Tried one?
I can appreciate liking a certain type of guitar. I do think it would be interesting to see you try some other types of guitars, like a flying v, explorer, reverend, harmony, etc. Or even teles made by different brands (schecter, esp, Charvel, etc.) Obviously this would all be a lot easier if these guitars were all available for free to you 👻
ya I don't think I'll be paying to try guitars I probably won't enjoy. If I could borrow some that would be a different story. Maybe when we are past the pandemic.
Something about a telecaster just can't be beat. The white troublemaker deluxe is gorgeous. Have you gotten to try any of the crazy parallel universe tele variants?
Hope u see this..I want to build a telecaster. How would you compare a squire body compared to a fender replacement body. And which would u prefer..great video watched it all the way throught..thanks
really depends on the Squire series. the Classic Vibe stuff is full sized, but some of the others are not. To me the weight would be the biggest factor if I would use it or not
@@landonbailey oh okay, thanks! I thought you didn't like the tone or something, but since my thinline is going to be semi hollow I'm not worried about weight :)
and here i am playing strats and LPs like a sucker.... do i need a telecaster in my life? i do think they're ugly but only with those pickguards. no pickguard or a thinline type pickguard looks pretty neat i think.
Enjoyed this vid Landon cheers my friend, I've got a MIM butterscotch tele and love it, got 2 other guitars if I was to buy anymore I think my wife might wrap it around my neck 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸
@@landonbailey Seems to me living in the gta and perusing kijjij far and wide , that there are some great deals in the Ottawa Area , not sure why ......
Shorter scale length tele. Nice! I especially liked the clean tones. Any other short scale telecasters that you know of? Shorter scale guitars are better for me.
You mentioned the fretboard on your first guitar never been cleaned, I just purchased my first ever Maple fretboard guitar for the ridiculous purpose of wanting to see my own wear and tear on it! (all of my other guitars or Rosewood)Also I think they look really cool, but how ridiculous is that?
@@landonbailey freeway is a company in the UK kind of like obsidian wire that makes a switch for strats, teles and les paul type guitars. Its super cheap and when you install it you get double the number of tones. Basically you get the pickups connected in series, out of phase, and on a strat you also get the combination of pickups that aren't usually available stock (like neck + bridge together or all three together). It's awesome! And your guitar doesn't look any different. No extra knobs, no push pull type alterations. Highly recommend it!
Can you Tele?

Great video Landon, very interesting mods to the teles as well.
I myself have a squier custom 60’s from 2015 that was heavily modified (only the original body remains).
Humbucker in the neck (SD antiquity I), SD antiquity I in the bridge, a custom made 500k pots with 0.22 uf capacitor wiring loom, brass saddles, an american original 60’s tele custom rosewood neck and all else :)
Even though I have guitars that are more special or desirable, the journey of doing it in the past 6 years or so made it my favorite guitar, plus it sounds and plays so great.

The Trouble with Teles. Once you pop open a variety pack box, you can't stop at 1. Always fun, Landon!
After playing many guitars I still find telecasters as my favorite
I always go back to where I started
@@landonbailey same here as well started on tele and if I had to keep just one guitar it would be the tele
I never used to like teles, but now I can't get enough of them. A very humble guitar, but great.

Nice G chord Segway....

I like how he saved the Radiohead riffs for after he showed the lace sensors
probably not intentionally. I had so much footage to pull from. I try to use the least crappy playing clips.
Still loving the blue Tele I bought off you, Landon. May add a couple modifications of my own someday down the line.
hey awesome!

Amazing video again, without falling in boring details.
One question: How/When/Why you chose to play one of them over the others????
Like Beauty, Ugly is in the eye of the beholder! I think the Telecaster is gorgeous in its simplicity.
It’s gorgeous anyway. And It’s literally the most versatile guitar ever made. Just in its classic form. That’s to say nothing of all the other configs.
@@michaelolz The Stratocaster is the most versatile guitar unless the Tele is a Nashville style!
I really like the look of Teles.
I used to think Telecasters were ugly but they've grown on me. I have one now and I think they are beautiful.
And of course sound amazing.
I’ve heard it said many times that a Telecaster is basically a cutting board with a neck and they are AWESOME!
I use cutting boards everyday and they are super useful in the kitchen
@@landonbailey Absolutely, right?!! 😂
Cool collection Landon. Love Teles myself. ❤️
cheers!
I'm so tempted to get the Chrissie Hynde Signature Telecaster as it's a guitar I've coveted since the 1980s. Whether my playing justifies such a purchase is another matter though...
I think it looks cool!
Hey Landon...Clone Pedals with a Peavey
Blazer 158? Oh yah. Um. I just bought a Squier Affinity Strat. Thoughts?
clone pedals? like klon?
Welcome to my sick world .... over the decades I have owned a total of 45 teles. As of today I ended up keeping only 15 (those I cańt live without).
And yes, telecasters can become a sweet addition alright ... keep those videos coming mate ✔️
45! wow
@@landonbailey LOL.... by the time you’re my age (57) you will have already owned twice that number (possibly more) he he .... greetings from Mexico mate ...
I love the color on that Anderton’s exclusive a lot.
looks really good in person too
Teles are absolutely great guitars. simple, good sounding and comfy
agreed!
Beautiful guitars! Rock on!
Thanks, you too!
I became a Telecaster fan, listening to The Clash's Joe Strummer.
cool!
If you're reading this go watch and click like on the esquire build video so it will do better because it's a cool guitar and Landon deserves it
oh hey thanks!
I start liking telecasters after I found your channel
oh hey cool!
I'm guessing you like teles.Hahaha ,I've got three ,but always looking at more . 35 guitars and counting,so l need to sell a few before I go shopping . You have a great weekend (everyone included) and keep up the great builds I really like those. 🎸😎
cheers!
As a young kid I hated tele’s cause they reminded me of country music. Thanks to guitarists John 5 and Jim Root I’m in love with telecasters now. I own 2 right now looking for more. What I like about telecasters is you can play the hell out of them and they won’t go out of tune.
ya that's the connection a lot of people have with them. Tele = Country
Amazing collection my friend! I love them all. I think the Olympic white 60s Tele is the least attractive looking one. But I think it sounds the best. And don’t get me wrong I think it’s a beautiful guitar, it’s just the least sexy looking🤠
cheers! ya everyone has their own tastes. :)
*This video:* Just days before Landon goes out and buys a hot pink PRS...
I really want a tele with double humbuckers. I love the raw intensity of the humbucker, but I love the tele shape
you want a Tele Deluxe!
I would have been through after two Teles! Martins would have taken a bit longer at 4! I had two girlfriends, once. Both of them were named Debbie, so no slip ups!
ha!
I have that same Beatles shirt. I don't have a Telecaster. I have two Strats. The one you sent me is in open G tuning right now because I bought a new slide. As a Beatles fan I should aspire to get a replica of George's all-rosewood Tele. But I want a 70's deluxe with the big headstock.
ah ya the Rosewood model looks awesome. I planned to assemble one but had trouble finding a body
@@landonbailey oh, it's easy to find a body, you can go dig one up or you can ... wait, guitar body. Never mind.
I love teles but only have one at present.it makes more sense to me to get differant guitar models with a range of pick ups.but as long as you enjoy playing its all good.....
Rock on!
Your no. 1 sounds very "tele traditional" and yes those necks feel wonderfull but I still think the Purple Knight looks absolutely gorgeous and sounds very individual and somehow you sound, dare I say, better???? different???? whole???? well rounded??? I don't know I think i'm biased toward that guitar because of it's tonal quality and it's striking appearence.
You literally need millions of girlfriends Landon hahahahaha that radiohead on telecaster #02 is a flexxxxxxxx! Gosh I missed you playing radiohead songs
Mannn that Godin guitar sounded so good
How well do the Fender necks fit to the Squire bodies? My Tele is my go to guitar just love it. But want to make a few different ones but the Squires have some great colours.
From experience the MIM/USA necks should fit fine on Classic Vibe bodies. Other than that I can't say for sure. Bullet/Affinity models may not match the spec size
@@landonbailey Thanks for the tips man! I have a MIJ Tele which is awesome and MIM strat also awesome. Getting a CV Jazzmaster in a few days thinking if I can upgrade parts here and there I can have more guitars but cheaper. The Bends was recorded with a Squire strat so they can’t be that bad.
Hi! Do You like the Creamery wide range pickups?
I've never tried those
@@landonbailey quite nice, especially the ones you can split so you have a thinner single coil sound, just a bit more aggressive than a real Tele neck sound
I like the dots on the blue one.
on the fretboard?
In the first 5 seconds (and strums) they all sounded the same LOL!! But you can't have enough Tele's or other Fenders!! (Or decent Squiers).
Very nice collection indeed Landon. Unfortunately, I don't have the space for that many. My 2 guitars sit in the living room, and together with my Yamaha THR ii, they are always within striking distance, which I find very handy, that I don't have to go to another room just to pick up a guitar. (I will come to the question later) As you may know, I am the proud owner of Mystic Surf Green Rosewood American Pro ii Tele and I think it is beautiful and wonderful to play. The neck is just wonderful. Anyway, you know that yourself. However.... Fender Japan make some very nice, and not too expensive guitars like their current Traditional series and the Hybrid series (don't like the cutaway in the Hybrid ii series). They have for example Vintage White and for example Lake Placid Blue guitars, both with Rosewood necks. I am very tempted to get one of those directly from a shop in Japan. Have you been tempted to get your hands on one of those and if not, is it not about time? 😁
I'm really interested in the MIJ stuff. I just don't see too many around here. I'm not sure I can order directly to Canada
@@landonbailey You can order directly from some shops. They reduce the advertised price by 10% to exclude the local sales tax and shipping to Europe is about $200 Canadian. A 60s traditional would cost you $1050 Canadian, ex works and ex taxes. This seems a fair price, right?
do you mean order directly from Fender retailers in Canada?
@@landonbailey No, I am talking about ordering directly from Japanese shops. Guess you could ask a local Fender dealer as well, see if they can order these instruments as well.
Saw your favorite at the end, but I must say at the Fender Prof Series level, it would have been nice for $1,500 USD to have had a belly cut for sure (lighten the weight), and maybe throw in some locking tuners.
I think they do the belly cut on the Pro Tele Deluxe
This is a great video, I just love your Fender American telecaster pro ii that blue it's a beaut
Thank you kindly!
Also the dream guitar for me
Thanks for the video Landon, it's on my favourite subject.
I'm detecting a pattern... Fully half of those (most excellent) guitars had 'features' that you didn't know about when you ordered them. Research not your strong-suit or are you an impulse buyer?
Also is the neck on that "60s" Tele (the one off a Thinline) actually made the the 1960s? I'm so over Fender calling things by a certain year when they're in fact 'copies'. I have a Tele bridge pickup in my T-Style that I bought new and all that I know about it is that it's "vintage" (Fender part number 005-3782-000). It was bagged, brand new. It's not freakin' vintage!
So I did some better Googling and found that my bridge pickup is one that Fender built for their 1952 Reissues made pre-2012. I bought it as a NOS part. just as 'Fender Vintage'. It would probably suit an Esquire build (not that I don't like it..).
😄 ya I don't read too much into the specs. not sure about the history of the 60's thinline. I just wanted to own a Nitro neck and it was the one I could find at the time.
Yeah the "Purple Knight" is a great sounding guitar and I'm sure it plays as well as it sounds. I'll find which picks up they are because I think I want them for my squire tele. I hope you dont mind me nicknaming your guitars it's just a way my brain remembers things, and you have some memerable fiddles there young man....!!!!
How about “Telly-visions: My Telecaster Collection”?
I've changed it to something new :)
I love telecasters they are fun to play you got a nice colection cant go wrong with a tele some of the greatest rockers played there best on these great guitars every guitar player should have one or more of these in there colection
hey thanks! check out my more recent collection video too
Those gold details make look that first black Tele very Fancy
I don't love gold hardware, but I think it works in certain looks
I have the Baja Tele. It’s so sweet
Please consider the blackout tele review, sometime, as it has two tele neck and middle, then typical tele single coil bridge...fender...pre nashville tele, I think...enjoy your humor!
what is the blackout tele review?
hey do you know if you can buy a tele control plate with a predrilled hole for a killswitch?
I haven't seen one
Me: I found something that I think that I am going to buy.
Wife: It isn't another telecaster is it?
Me: ...
🤣
I might be going crazy but that godin guitar sounded the best to me out of your single coil guitars. Especially when you played The Bends
Edit: i just heard the esquire and i like it even more.
Noppers, you’re not crazy I just got one and they sound the business! The Godin that is...
spicy pickups. it's a solid guitar
My first electric guitar was also black, but an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, sold in a kit with a Peavey amp, strap, cord, etc. Knowing what I know now I wish I'd gotten a Tele, but hey.
next time!
@@landonbailey I wish I could have a next time for a first guitar. I made up for it with getting a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele, though. I like that one a lot.
Any thoughts on the Player Tele with humbuckers? Tried one?
I can appreciate liking a certain type of guitar. I do think it would be interesting to see you try some other types of guitars, like a flying v, explorer, reverend, harmony, etc. Or even teles made by different brands (schecter, esp, Charvel, etc.)
Obviously this would all be a lot easier if these guitars were all available for free to you 👻
ya I don't think I'll be paying to try guitars I probably won't enjoy. If I could borrow some that would be a different story. Maybe when we are past the pandemic.
@@landonbailey that'd be awesome! And sometimes a guitar you don't think you'd like ends up surprising you 😉
Do you have the John 5 Telecaster model? If so, is it any good?
Something about a telecaster just can't be beat. The white troublemaker deluxe is gorgeous. Have you gotten to try any of the crazy parallel universe tele variants?
I haven't had access to any of them. Would like to try them someday. Maybe I'll assemble one myself
Hope u see this..I want to build a telecaster. How would you compare a squire body compared to a fender replacement body. And which would u prefer..great video watched it all the way throught..thanks
really depends on the Squire series. the Classic Vibe stuff is full sized, but some of the others are not. To me the weight would be the biggest factor if I would use it or not
@@landonbailey thank you
Why did you sold the thinline 72 style one? I'm asking because I want to get a thinline
It weighed around 10 lbs. I don't like heavy guitars
@@landonbailey oh okay, thanks! I thought you didn't like the tone or something, but since my thinline is going to be semi hollow I'm not worried about weight :)
ya mine was a swamp ash body. too heavy for my taste
You need a tele with binding , the binding on a tele is amazing
th-cam.com/video/W8Inrki-LeY/w-d-xo.html
and here i am playing strats and LPs like a sucker.... do i need a telecaster in my life? i do think they're ugly but only with those pickguards. no pickguard or a thinline type pickguard looks pretty neat i think.
Stadium HT 😃
Enjoyed this vid Landon cheers my friend, I've got a MIM butterscotch tele and love it, got 2 other guitars if I was to buy anymore I think my wife might wrap it around my neck 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸
classic Butterscotch! that's the one colour I'm missing currently
@@landonbailey treat yourself
I could be wrong, but I think you like telecasters
that's all personal opinion. no proof! 🤪
Fun fact: Landon has a lot of teles
Love your guitars Landon
cheers ken!
Television. Best title
Lando do you trade them in or sell them? You list on kijiji?
I've never traded. I have sold locally on Kijiji but I won't be doing that until we get the pandemic under control here.
@@landonbailey Seems to me living in the gta and perusing kijjij far and wide , that there are some great deals in the Ottawa Area , not sure why ......
@@landonbailey let me know when you sell the stadium ht :-)im in the mnarket
Holy Tele-doh! That’s a ton of casters!
ya I agree
Nice collection but it's not complete without a Nashville style Tele. How about a build on one Landon?
maybe one day!
Shorter scale length tele. Nice! I especially liked the clean tones. Any other short scale telecasters that you know of? Shorter scale guitars are better for me.
Mine is an '04 Affinity Standard, red velvet colour, made in Indonesia, string through, with Seymour Duncans .... and no way gettin rid of it.
that colour sounds cool!
The Casters.. nice collection sir :)
thanks!
You mentioned the fretboard on your first guitar never been cleaned, I just purchased my first ever Maple fretboard guitar for the ridiculous purpose of wanting to see my own wear and tear on it! (all of my other guitars or Rosewood)Also I think they look really cool, but how ridiculous is that?
I get it! it's pride marks for me
I really really really like this video!!
👍
Would love to see you with a vintera 50s modern! Also please please try a freeway switch!
ya I'd like to test one out some day. is freeway a brand?
@@landonbailey freeway is a company in the UK kind of like obsidian wire that makes a switch for strats, teles and les paul type guitars. Its super cheap and when you install it you get double the number of tones. Basically you get the pickups connected in series, out of phase, and on a strat you also get the combination of pickups that aren't usually available stock (like neck + bridge together or all three together). It's awesome! And your guitar doesn't look any different. No extra knobs, no push pull type alterations. Highly recommend it!
@@landonbailey I have a freeway switch in my strat. It’s awesome. Check out Darrell Braun’s video on it
"Hi. My name is Landon. And I'm a Teleholic..."
I won't argue with that 😁
