I’m a “Gibson Guy” But Of Course I Have MY One COMPLETELY Base Model That I Modded to MY Tastes Same With My ONE Strat; In My 60 Years Of Playing I’ve Owned Pretty Much Most Of The Great Ones BUT I Never Could Hang Onto One The ONLY One I Have Seller’s Remorse Over NOT Hanging Onto Was The FANTASTIC Shawbucker Strat and HSS Model With the Bridge Humbucker Being Designed by Tim Shaw a Former GIBSON Pickup Engineer Who Jumped Ship & Went To Fender; Man the TONES I Got From THAT One 🎶🎶 Anyway I Totally Agree With The Fact That a Tele’s “Magic” Is Based On It’s Simplicity ♥️🎶♥️‼️‼️‼️
I’d had a tele on my bucket list for decades. I’ve been mucking about on a range of various acoustic stringed instruments for 50 years , buying my first electric guitar 15 years ago. A Les Paul copy . But never got over the want for a Fender. Got the Mexican player a few months ago and playing it nearly every day. Don’t tell Donald or the fence will be finished. Feels great. I think the neck maybe smaller than the American . But feels good with my short fingers. I don’t seem to be able to make it sound bad. Nice.
Awesome vid. I play my Martins and on occasion my Strat; I have no interest in getting a Tele, until I saw this vid. Love the history and the romantic aspect of this instrument.
Original guitars…1950-1953 were almost white in colour…they were never ‘butterscotch’. The clear lacquer ‘ambered’ when exposed to UV light, smoke etc…and they eventually aged towards that butterscotch we all are familiar with. Leo did not use furniture finishes! They were Autobody paints ‘inspired’ by the Scandinavian furniture blonde finishes.
No disrespect intended! But your explanation of the Broadcaster ‘blend’ circuit seems incorrect? Maybe just camera performance nerves? Bridge position is the ‘blend’ of the neck….no tone control….middle is not the ‘blend’. Middle position is neck pickup without tone. Neck or ‘front’ position is neck pickup without tone a tone capacitor(mud).
It took me 40 years (30 playing guitar) to get that the Tele is about its simplicity, which they say is the ultimate sophistication
