    Burton came into a car dealership where I worked in Shreveport, La. To buy a car for his wife. We sat in my office and visited, talked about Elvis. The highlight of my life. Super nice for a superstar 😎👍

    I love my tele.... is exactly the same as the vivno tele... blonde, white pickguard and rowewood fretboard... I fall in love with the tele since I saw one for the first time... a blue one, in the hands of cobain. One of the most underrated guitars in the world is the tele custom II, the one with p90´s... my fav axe

  • @rafasounds2010
    @rafasounds2010 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I convinced myself that if I put a little switch that allows me to turn on the neck pickup on a strat, I would have a strat = tele combo in one guitar. That was when I was a strat player. The tele had been whispering on my ears for quite a while. Then I realized that strat bridge pickups just would never do it, and finally got a nice tele. I was born again. Nothing sounds better than a telecaster.

    I'm playing a Y2K Nashville tele MIM and its been my workhourse for the past 8 years. None of my other "Fenders" come close to this one. Plays and sounds the best to me, Just like Vince ksaid.

  • @hungerstriker27
    @hungerstriker27 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    the first guitar I want was the tele. I fell in love since the firt time I sa it, in the hands of kurt cobain, the blue one. Finally I choose a blonde with rosewood, I love it, but I never care for the strat until I play one, and everything changed. I love my les paul but the experinece of playing is better with fenders. Then I bought the tele custom in black with p90´s. It´Squier. AMAZING guitar.

    When I was first starting to play I wanted the humbucker guitars of the rockers of the day. But, damn my neighbors Tele played so damn easy. Even unplugged it sounded so nice. Too thin for my young ears, but even then I knew it was a quality instrument. Wished I would have bought it from him, even the case smelled nice.

  • @pilotdon50
    @pilotdon50 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Look into John Suhr's. I have a MIM Copperburst that I put in a set of his Tele standards and played through my hodrodded 65 twin reverb. The Suhr PU's aren't quite as bright but lose none of it's rock crunching sound. My MIM will do anything I want from rock eating to mellow jazz. While you're at it try a set of Curt Mangan standard 10 strings. Sounds fantastic. BTW, Suhr was the head of Fender's custom shop before going on his own. My next guitar will be one of his Classic T's.

  • @eekleefeld
    @eekleefeld 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I suppose I've done the "Strat and Tele all in one" approach, but from the other direction - adding an extra switch to a Strat for the neck+bridge pickups sound.

  • @collectivismkills

    Leo got it right first time, and despite all efforts nobody has ever made a BETTER guitar - interesting parallel with the saxophone, since its first prototype modern instruments are pretty much identical because despite all efforts nobody has ever made one that sounds worse, they just nailed pure awfulness right off the bat.

    Found an interview with Jimmy Bryant, where he speaks of his relationship with Leo Fender as the Telecaster caught fire. Bryant was gifted a tele by Leo Fender, and has been credited with a key role in the new guitars' meteoric rise in popularity/demand, starting in the Country Swing days. He mentions playing "one the first Telecasters built in a one car garage" (Fenders' garage), and that the 1st published image of the guitar was in a Roy Rogers movie. He was a WWII vet, switching from violin to guitar while in special services. His musical talents likely kept him out of combat, being valued for entertaining the troops. He was far ahead of his time, well known for his improv talent. One commentor dates it ~1975, 5 years or so before his death of lung cancer in 1980: @ Performance with Speedy West: @

    Notice how Keith Urban says turning his Tele into a Strat "just never worked" - and the video begins with James Burton, who has done just that.
    The real message: A conventional Tele is what works best for Keith Urban - and maybe for you, too. But feel free to explore.

    to be honest, the only pioneer of the telecaster is one of the ones who isnt included here. Jimmy Page was the one who was able to really show that the telecaster was not just some country slab of wood, he showed its various colors. Shame that no one could appreciate his work enough to include him in something like this.
