Wow! That was is so much fun to watch! I absolutely loved working at Anderton's a million years ago with Lee, amazing to see how much it's grown! Thanks to Lee and your amazing team!
P.S First time I'm seeing this and watching myself playing the guitars is hilarious Haha
Great seeing you here Warren@@Producelikeapro
@@metalman3227loved being there!
It was fun to watch and I agree about the Player Series tele necks,,they are great!
@@ToddTheJokervery, very impressed! I’m not sure what it is I always gravitate to that kind of guitar in that price range!
Would love to see a 'without breaking the bank' episode with warren doing picks in the store on what he would buy for home audio recording
Marvellous idea! Lee? Let's do it!
@@Producelikeapro senpai noticed me
@@Producelikeaproyes please
@@acebantz7649you’re very kind
@@ubermenschstream6765marvellous
I think what this really shows is how important a good amp is to getting your sound on target. These all sounded so good.
A great amp is a wonderful thing!
@@Producelikeapro I came to ask the same question! Any details of the amp/mic/mic position? 🙂 Great tone
@@johnny88sunday I believe we did 57 front and back! The back mic was phase reversed!
Good amp, a couple of decent pedals or a digital board (will allow you to shape your tone endlessly) and you can make anything sound good.
Man, Warren always seems like the nicest dude. 🥰
You're very kind! Thank YOU!
Two of my favourite channels together! It was awesome to hear Warren's story of working at Anderton's. Small world! And I have to say he did marvelously well.
Thank you ever so much! Lee was wonderful to work with back in the day! It is a small world indeed!
You can't go wrong with a Player Series Tele.
Agreed! I was very impressed!
Not really the consensus on the Tele forums. I'm always told to buy a Squier Classic Vibe as a better value. I'm in the market for a Tele around this price and I'm seriously torn.
@@sundaynightdrunk I own both. The Squier needed a lot of parts upgrades; tuners, pots, switch, telesocket and jack, etc. The Player Tele got a telesocket and jack, that's it.
@@debhart4302 There's also the Sire T7, which has a lot to be desired at the same price point but I hate the headstock. Probably going to get the Player so it says Fender on the headstock for once.
@sundaynightdrunk I think what it is is that the classic vibe is so much value for the money that people think it's better than it is. Make sense? I think I'm saying it right.
Wow, 2 very different of my favourite music and gear channels collaborating? Nice! Good luck, Warren. 👍
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
Incredible blindfold playing! 😎
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much!
From now on im gonna mix, EQ , compress etc with my eyes closed way more. It's like checking in mono or turning the volume down to a whisper. Very useful techniques!
Haha indeed! Ears first!
Makes me feel great that I’ve recently purchased a Player’s Series Tele !
Great guitar!
Three cheers for the classic vibe! I have one from ~10 years ago and it plays like a beast!!!
Marvellous!
This needs to happen more often!! Loved to see Warren and Lee together. Now I need to get a Tele...
It was so much fun!! Thanks ever so much
Andersons is amazing. It’s worth taking a UK vacation just to check it out! First the British Museum, next Anderson’s! 😎
That's marvellous to hear John!
Pretty cool , just so happens that I have the exact guitar he picked ,same colour too, Tide Pool, Fender MIM.. It has been a great guitar for me and I love it.
Marvellous! You clearly have great taste haha
I think we're in a peak period for mid-priced guitars. I have a couple of Squiers and a Gretsch Electromatic and they're all very, very good. Not excellent, perhaps, but extremely playable and solid platforms if you want to upgrade pickups, etc.
Agreed!
Here is the absolute point. 99 to 5000. Very few if any quality metrics discernable. Play it for 30 years. It will be relic'd and you will be worth hearing.
sure @@ww-yj2cp
I love my MIM telecaster. And Placid blue is gorgeous in person.
Great guitar!
To be a little more of an anonymous selection, it would have good to swap the guitars around AFTER he was blindfolded and then start handing them to him randomly. Because seeing where they were located before being blindfolded can still be a bit of a give away, since there's the ability to hear where they were being pulled from. and knowing when you were facing away while talking and grabbing another guitar could give some idea that the ones being grabbed where the one of the two behind you. Just a thought.
@ww-yj2cp Sure
He's such a great player that no one knows. I wish someone would just do a video on him... playing as him, a guitarist. And nothing else.
You’re very kind! I always just wanted to be Brian May! Still do haha
That is an excellent test - do it with more guitarists. Great vid!
Fun times!
Loved visiting Anderton's last November. Great staff!
Marvellous
Good to see Warren on Andertons! Great stuff!!
Thanks ever so much! Great times!
I'm glad to see that Warren is doing Marvelously Well.
Now we need a Produce like the Captain video.
haha nice! Thanks
I watched the £1000 challenge yesterday and came to watch this one (even though I don’t like Teles) because these videos with Warren are great. Thanks guys!
Thanks ever so much!
Absolutely love the blindfold videos
19:32 How did Lee not bust out laughing?
My Gosh his playing is so good!
aw shucks! Thanks ever so much!
It's the Fans that keep you real @@Producelikeapro
This is great! And, I always like listening to Warren talking anyway.
HIM struggling to determine the price of these five Telecasters makes me laugh at the amount of agonising, decision-making I spent a few months ago before deciding which Telecaster to buy.
I ended up buying a Squier 60s Classic Vibe…..and this merely confirms to me that anything more expensive would have been totally wasted on me! 😂
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
This guy has some chops. Love this
Thanks ever so much!
Thank you, so interesting to see comparisons restricted to feel and sound! :D
Thanks ever so much
Good to see MIM and CV Teles punching well above their weight as ever .
Great guitars
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for having Warren on. Ever since I saw the vintage photo of Warren in front of the store. What fun. That gold sparkle is pretty cool looking!
Wow! Thanks ever so much!
I wholeheartedly agree with that statement from Lee saying that the sweet spot for a guitar considering the law of diminushing return is about 700€ to a 1000€. Over that it's often overkill. That 700-1000 is also the sweet spot to have great woods and parts to replace to make it better.
Agreed 100%!
Awesome to have you guys reminisce the shop layouts that I still remember as well!
Marvellous! Yes, so much fun to walk down memory lane!
This is so rad, especially the old stories about the store
Thanks! Those were great times
I wish they’d slipped in a Standard 2 or Ultra. There’s just such a huge jump from Custom Shop to Player.
Yes! Marvellous idea
Brilliant! Loved every (highly educational and entertaining) second of this!
Thanks ever so much!
These are my favorite. Getting to see the shop etc.
Marvellous!
It's nice waking up to a new blindfold challenge.
🍁
Gtreat times!
Really enjoyed this blindfold comparison. However I was disappointed there wasn't a Sire T7 in the selection.
Don’t know that guitar! Glad you enjoyed the video
I dreamed of it, you did it! Warren at Anderton's TV! The EastCoast Tele is so impressive. Thank you so much for that! Happy New Year from across the pond!
Thanks ever so much!! Happy New Year!
What's the difference between pounds and quid?
Haha there isn't! It's like Dollars and Bucks!
So glad you mentioned that California strat. I owned one and when I speak about it people think I'm crazy as they don't call it that anymore. It was the best guitar ever and was also made about 98.
Great guitar! Thanks for sharing this
Warren is the man. Love his channel, and stoked you brought him on for an episode!
Thanks ever so much Peter!
Being tele obsessed this a lot of fun to watch . Live I only use teles and lespauljrs
Marvellous!
playing and owning everything under the sun....now 62 and over the last year...the Tele resonates...have bought 5 or 6 in last 2 years...I can die happy only owning a couple Teles....
Yes! Starting the year strong with 2 channels colliding to make cool content! Such a small world, I would've never guessed Warren worked there before. Learning new stuff every day! 😌 Gear, production and creative fun time! 🤘🎸⚡
Thanks ever so much! It was a great place to work and it’s great to come back here!
I was back in the old ‘ford last November and did this nostalgia tour of the shop then! I probably bought strings from Warren as a teenager in the 90’s!
I really love my Mexican Fender Baja Tele Butterscotch bought last year, 10 yrs old. This is a wonderful guitar to play; you can even get a ‘humbucker’ sound via the extra switching options provided by Fender Custom Shop design. This would have been an interesting instrument to compare.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Ohhh, the Bajas were soooo good.
@@neilbertuk1marvellous
@@neilbertuk1 very cool!
Lovely shop andertons. Never had a bad experience there.
That's great to hear!
What amp and cab did you use? It sounds amazing!
This video was awesome! I’ve been watching Produce Like A Pro and Andertons videos for 5+ years now, thank you Lee and Warren 🤟😎🍻💯🔥
Wow! Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
These are fun to watch! and I agree with Warren, I have a Fender Player butterscotch telecaster and I love it, the neck is perfect. Although I have modded mine with vintage specs ie vintage tuners, vintage bridge, brass saddles and Twisted Tele pickups. Great guitars as is or for modding! Thanks Lee and Warren!
Very cool! Thanks ever so much
Great video, I love the MIJ telecaster what an awesome colour too
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Warren, youre a hell of a player. Great guitarists love telecasters, and it was refreshing to see Andertons revisit these great axes. Definitely subbed and watching from Tennessee America.
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much
Yeah, I was thinking ”he can really play”, realizing I forgot that he was BLINDFOLDED. Definitely going to practise more in the dark.
one of my favorite blindfolds! Warren's channel, Produce like a pro ,I follow as well as it provides so much good information on recording. My favorite tele was the player, great guitar.
Me too! Great collaboration
@@thesongacademy5017Thanks!!!
You’re very kind! Thanks ever so much
I’m kinda glad that people are starting to complain about relic guitars because maybe the price will go down and I can BUY MORE of them!! The best thing about a relic is that it’s easier to play. Not sticky and hard to work around and you don’t have to have an anxiety attack when you bump it into the ride cymbal at the gig.
Haha I have nothing against them! I just want to add my own marks! I want to look at my belt buckle marks that I made!
So cool, I love these blindfold challenges. My #1 takeaway from a few years worth of blind tests is that you should buy the stuff that feels good, since price tags are functionally cosmetic. Keep up the great work folks!~
Kind of hard to find a shop that will let you come in and sample things blindfolded though.
I'm pretty sure Anderton's would have no issue with that!@@stoneysdead689
Didn't know Javier Milei was into guitars!! Amazing video!
Great shootout!!! It would be great if you could have Mike "Puisheen" Adams do a Jazzmaster shootout, find out what he likes best and if he could tell the differences especially the pickups.
Glad you enjoyed the video! It was a lot of fun to do
PLP and Andertons? Awesome. Hearing Warren worked with Andertons before totally unexpected. Great video and have a great week!
Thanks ever so much Randy!
Great video with a different guitar player being blindfolded, very nice to watch so thank you!
Now when it comes to choosing guitars nowadays, we buy a lot of stuff on the internet, so without actually playing the gear, it is obvious we go for looks (and specs when it comes to guitar necks, especially with Fender having so many different fretboard radii)
For example, I like Telecasters with rosewood fretboards, because they make such a beautiful colour combination with the lighter back of the neck and then whatever body colour you chose. I have a mystic surf green and a vintage white Tele because of those colours. One is American, the other one is Japanese made, but I love both of them. Would I pick those guitars blindfolded, so just going by the sound? Who knows, perhaps in this challenge, I would have gone for the Mexican one as well, who knows. I think that your brain wants you to love the guitars that you pick because you didn't buy them after a blind fold test. But, these blind fold tests do show, that more expensive doesn't necessarily mean, better of more fun to play. And that is a reassuring thought for those of us who can't (or perhaps don't want to) spend large sums of money on guitars.
Interesting assessment. I just bought the Squier CV, and love it - but of course its all subjective....mostly.
my feed is collapsing in on itself...
Same for me too 😂😂
Absolutely same here
Haha sorry! Great times!
Haha @@danthegeetarman
Haha thanks@@jesperjacobsen2463
Have never heard of Warren until now but thoroughly enjoyed his philosophical approach! Lee joked, but I did actually find his quote about people wanting some humanity again quite profound (rising popularity of analogue synths bit). Also the bit about Gen X experiencing both worlds of analogue/digital in their youth, so they have a unique perspective. Thanks guys!
Thanks ever so much for the great comment fellow Gen Xer
I totally dug the gen x tour through the store choosing teles! usually I fast forward through. Nice one Boys!
Thanks ever so much
Haha...The Tardis like Andertons indeed. I moved to Guildford from GLASGOW in 2006. Made friends and used to go to the pub beside Andertons every monday night every week of the year where we discussed life and art. Roll on to 2022 and a friend visits from Netherlands and he asks me if i can take him over to Andertons as he wants to have a look around. I asked him if he was sure as it was a tiny place....I took him down and in we went....I had pretty much the same experience as everyone who has ever gone and not seen an Andertons video i guess. It just kept on going back and back...He went away to play martins and Taylors and i just walked around looking at all the sparkly guitars. In 91 when i first moved to london i'd bought a fender acoustic but gave up trying to learn but i'd always hankered after trying again...and then i saw a lovely Gretsch Electromatic. Two weeks later i went back and bought it and a Katana 50 and started doing Justin Guitar online.....Hooray for Andertons....my favourite youtube channel!
Thanks ever so much for sharing your experience! I really appreciate it
No problem. I watch your channel too!@@Producelikeapro
Such a gentleman. Very happy with his tip re the last release of the Yamaha Elements.
Thanks ever so much
Killer collab
Thanks ever so much!
I truly enjoyed watching and listening to the views by Warren. Honest gentleman. Great guy, you can tell. Giving an expensive guitar to his son as well, but chooses a guitar which he enjoys, rather the value. Stay safe 👍🏼
Thanks ever so much for that wonderful comment
I have a Shoreline Gold Strat. Looks incredible. And Les Pauls look beautiful in gold as well.
I used to own a Gold Top! Loved it! It was a fantastic guitar, B Stock and quite beaten up!
Definitely do again or similar. I think it's interesting to see someone do this who knows their stuff but doesn't see and handle new guitars every day and has an idea of price points etc.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
If I ever find myself in England, I’ll find myself making my rounds in Andertons!
Great times! It's a lot of fun!
Great collaboration
Thanks ever so much!
Been watching Warren and Andertons for years. I had no idea he worked there as a toddler! Fun video.
Haha yes, I was a toddler!
Love relics, love honesty, love people just telling it how they see it. Great content as usual guys. Happy new year!
Happy New Year!
Nice to see Warren at Andertons. Not far from me! I’ve been in that shop many times.
Great shop!!
Freebird playing in the background at the beginning was cool
Aha! Demonetised! Haha
What's the bets that Warren just went ahead and bought that guitar?😂
I think they sold it later that day!!
Great job, so fun!
Loads of fun!
I also think that the MIM Teles and Strats have very comfortable, very playable necks. And then there is that of my MIM Woflgang, which is phenomenal:)
Marvellous!
My takeaway from this vid is that Warren is a fretmaster and could play anything and make it sound good..and blindfolded also to boot
Wow! You’re very kind! Thanks ever so much
I love to see you guys wandering around the guitar shop picking out guitars for the Tele Shootout :D
Thanks! It was so much fun!
Great to see Warren on the channel. Have been following him almost as long as you. Good to see his ability to play guitar, especially whilst blindfolded. Warren does need to do a followup video on home studio setup. Havent seen one since your outboard gear with sweetwater. How good is the home studio? Great vid and look forward to the followups
Yes! That would be so much fun!!
Great comparison video. They all sounded unique but all like a Tele as you would expect. My favourite sound by far was the Custom Shop but would never go for it on looks and £5k is too steep!. I was quite surprised by the Mex Player. Just on looks I woud go for the MIJ or Classic Vibe - given the price difference it would probably be Classic Vibe.
Thanks ever so much for sharing! In the room the guys all preferred the Custom Shop too! My ears and my hands combined for the Player Guitar! Like I said a bit of confirmation bias as it reminded me of my favourite Tele!
It's not "confirmation bias" when you have a blindfold on while selecting it.
Haha Yes, I suppose that's true! I just love what I love!
This is a great vid and telecasters are still my favourite after 30 years of playing badly. I just wondered why you don't give the person with the blindfold 5 labels numbered 1 to 5 so they can put them on which guitar they think is which before you tell them which is which, if that makes sense? Then you can have the big reveal for them afterwards. I always wonder why you don't when I watch these videos. Keep making the vids though!! Great stuff!
It's looks straight up from a Monty Python skit : he has to find if the dearest is the best, but the more Warren likes a Tele, the more he hopes it's the cheapest.
Haha yes! The parrot is dead!
7:23 Hi Pete! Love the Telecasters but I really wish this was high end Gretsch. What Can't you do with a Gretsch? (or a Tele.)
Huge fan of both channels! Thanks for this!
Thanks ever so much!
"I wanna believe it's one of the cheaper ones" is what I think whenever I play any guitar I like.
Haha exactly Tom!!
My new year resolution is to pay my first visit to Andertons. It’s great to see the walkthrough of the store
It's great, the first time I've ever had proper customer service in a music store.
Sounds marvellous Paul!
Marvellous to hear@@keithkrick234
@@keithkrick234 very cool!
13:36 we need more funky playing hell yeah
Haha thanks!
I have to agree. I've played a ton of Teles over the years and the one I own is a Mexican Player series. Mine has the more vintage, three brass saddle, bridge, but it's much the same as this one. Excellent choice.
Thanks ever so much for sharing! Great guitars and pretty affordable
@@Producelikeapro I too am gen x. I can't believe how far we've come in quality.
I know! It's truly amazing isn't it?@@JKM395
Tone wise the custom shop one blew them away. Sounded much more like a vintage tele. And I’m a huge classic vibe fan.
Thanks for sharing! It did sound great! Ultimately the sound and feel of the Player guitar won me over!
One of the most important things this comparison shows is that the player's hands and technique is the number one source for tone.
Absolutely
Bullshit.
I just ordered a Mike Stern Yamaha "Telecaster." looking forward to it.
That’s interesting
I Just looked it up! Looks great
Whoo hoo!
My exact guitar on Anderton TV 😊
Which one?
@@Producelikeapro Fender Player Tele in Tidepoole Blue 😀
Store looks amazing!!!
Great times!
2:38 Captain's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Huart has really slick way of playing. Just so smooth.
Funny though how he compliments the cheapest necks and setups, because when I tried this thing "go through tellys from cheapest to as expensive as you can tolerate", it wasn't until 800 euros that they didn't feel uncomfortable and slightly poorly finished and set up on the neck and fretboard. I really wanted to like the cheap ones too, the improved quality of Squiers and all that jazz. But they just lacked in neck and fretboard comfort.
Very Cool, Thankyou Guys. Awesome Guitars all of them. And Totally Amazing Playing, especially being Blindfolded. Really Enjoyed this Episode, One of my favorites for sure. I have an Artist Guitars TC-59 Tele style with Splittable Humbuckers, WOW such an amazing Guitar, Build Quality and Playability is Outstanding. Also have a Tokai all white "Telecaster'" which is fast becoming my favorite Guitar, WOW, So Amazing. And 13 months ago I picked up a Donner DTC-100 Sunburst 'Tele' for Totally Bargain price on Black Friday Sale, WOW, This Guitar is also Amazing, an absolute Joy to Play. All The Best. Cheers
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much! That really means a lot, I got get to play as much as I'd like being a Producer! Just some Johnny midnight repair parts! Haha
My music TH-cam is basically Rick B, Warren, Lee & Pete and Dan & Mick. Nice when the worlds collide. Hopefully Warren will be dropping into TPS while he's over.
Would live to do that! Thanks Nick!
