  • ~ The Fender Telecaster ~
    The Fender Telecaster has long been a staple of the music industry. Legends alike have adorned the axe to bring the spank, the twang, and the unbridled bite that only a Tele can bring. Greg Koch has long been once of those fierce warriors, and is no stranger to the way of the Telecaster.
    Though love affairs come in go in our lives, the Tele has always been the home that Mr. Koch comes home to, and we here at Wildwood often feel the same. There is something so reliable about the Telecaster. It makes you work for it, like any relationship worth developing. It resonates right, it gives and takes with your intentions, and it sings with a voice all its own.
    Enjoy Wildwood friends - Greg Koch vs the Fender Telecaster.

    Hi Folks ! I was lucky enough to be a demo guitarist several years at the Music Messe in Germany and had the privilege of meeting the great Greg Koch. This man is a Gentleman, Incredible Musician and Guitarist and also a 100% professional exemple of what a working musician should be. A true inspiration!!! Greg you are the man , thanks for all the tricks and licks you show us in all your videos. It comes natural and I guess for the love of music and guitar. Keep on 👍. By the way you were demoing the Fishman pickups in 2014 at the Music Messe and I was next booth around demoing a Swiss stainless steal guitar... it was a honor to have you around... 😉👍

    Greg said something one time that made me start playing differently and I have become a much better player since then. It was something to the affect of;
    Most of being good at the guitar is just messing up better. He said, in practice, he would intentionally try and play wrong notes or mess himself up and find the most creative way to get out of it and back on track to what he was playing.
    That has helped me so much and has made my playing much more creative and unique to me.

    i have tried them all through the years,
    and a simple basic tele is most fun i think... the no thrills makes you concentrate on just playing...and string attack etc.... no distractions just make music like in the day of our heroes we try to emulate to this day that had just basic gear..... also love greggs enthusiasm....

    • @grantkgoacher
      @grantkgoacher 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      My personal favorite is my AVRI ‘52 Telecaster. They’ve been discontinued and replaced with the American Original ‘50s tele with a more modern and flatter 9.5” radius than the 52’s 7.25” radius. The newer one still has the excellent sounding flat pole piece bridge pickup which is the best to my ears. For the money, you can buy a Mexican made Vintera ‘50s model or a Squier classic vibe ‘50s with similar specs. Otherwise, I would recommend with a Mexican player series Telecaster, or an American Performer telecaster, or even an American Pro if you can afford it if you want something simple. Those 3 I just listed are the best when it comes to a standard spec telecaster. It’s hard to go wrong with any Fender Telecaster though. They make good ones in pretty much any price range.
