UB:25 Custom Shop Fender Telecaster Ltd Edition 61 - WOW!! - Has this just replaced my Stratocaster?

Fender Custom Shop Telecaster 1961 Limited Edition in Aged Sherwood Green - Relic. Hand-Wound Twisted Tele & Original Blackguard pick-ups - Fabulous Combination!!!
In a previous video, I did a review on my Fender Telecaster American Professional series 1 2019 build guitar, see the review here - ( • UB:24 USA Fender Tele ... ), and asked the question, should I replace it? and get along to a music store to try out different models covering the 1950s and 60s Telecaster periods to help determine what I was looking for. In this video I unbox and review one of the most expressive guitars I have owned. The pick-ups are Hand-Wound, an Original Black Guard Single-Coil for that classic Telecaster Twang at the bridge, and to compliment and off-set that at the neck, a Twisted Telecaster Single-Coil giving a more mellowed-out tone. Love them or hate them, this particular model has a moderate Custom Shop relic finish which I prefer for a number of reasons and if that topic interests you I have done a review on that here - ( • V9: Playing Guitar 40 ... ).
The body is Alder and the quarter sawn maple neck with AAA dark rosewood fingerboard sports 21 narrow tall 6105 frets and all worn-in to make for a fabulous playing experience. There are those who would say, a Telecaster is all you need, and while that is quite a broad statement and open to debate, this particular Telecaster model certainly shows off its ability to cover so many tonal choices. Having owned the guitar for just a short period of time I had decided to swap-out the pickguard for something I felt was more in-keeping of the style and you can see that replacement guard fitting video here - ( • UB:30 Telecaster Pickg... ). If your in the market for one of these guitars I hope this video will give you some insight as I cover various details and tones you can expect to see and hear... Enjoy!
