It's the SUPER STRAT of TELES! (And it finally made me fall in love with the body shape)

  • I have checked out a lot of Teles over the years... and some of them have been beautifully made instruments, great fit and finish and so forth, but none of them have connected with me the way this EART T-380 has. That's probably just because this Tele style guitar is loaded with so many of the features that I love in a shred guitar. Roasted woods, humbuckers, coil splitting, stainless steel frets, and a trem!

    I want to clarify something about this video, as I see a theme in many of the comments which implies that I was not clear in my presentation. I'm not saying that "there has never been a double humbucker Tele before", what I am saying is: This Tele style guitar has many features that you don't normally find on a Tele such as double humbuckers, a roasted neck and body, stainless steel frets, a compound fretboard AND neck profile, a coil splitting switch, and an arm cut on the top corner of the body. And it is because of this lengthy combination of cool features and great playabilitythat I love this guitar so much.

    I have the blue one. It is great. Needed some trem adjustment but other than that it is phenomenal. Not only do they make great guitars but they are a solid company that cares about their customers. They sent my son a single coil Strat for a school project for free. We did the unboxing and setup and a TH-cam channel for a project. They are good people.

    Received my EARt Honey Burst this morning and I have not done a thing to it or the setup other than tune it I cannot stop playing non-stop. This guitar is absolutely beautiful, plays beautiful and sounds incredible through my Diezel Herbert into a 4x12 w/V30s. I do not see how SUHR can compete with this type of high quality at such a FREAKING RERASONABLE PRICE TAG!

    I've been a subscriber for about 2 years now. What I like about your channel is that you are not a guitar snob. You review each guitar for what it is. You don't trash a manufacturer because it doesn't start with a G or F and you understand that everyone in the world doesn't have thousands of dollars to spend on a guitar. I myself am a huge fan of "affordable priced" guitars. I buy cheap and quite often I'm surprised by the quality of a sub $200 guitar. If I feel like upgrading some of the parts, I do. Now don't get me wrong. I don't put $3000 rims on a $200 car but affordable but better than whats there. Then I give them away to beginners or folks that can play but can't afford one because the bills come first. Max, what you do is superb and I'm sure your other subscribers know that. I recommend your channel to a lot of people. Please keep it coming.

    This guitar just proves what I've been saying for years, there is absolutely no reason companies like Fender and specially Suhr can justify the prices they charge when the guitars they produce are no better than this $400 guitar! I've been building electric guitars for a while now so I know what goes into building this type of guitar, it's not that expensive to produce specially if you have modern CNC capabilities in your factory. I do still believe that true custom shop guitars are worth a bit more because of the attention to detail and higher end components and finishes though. $400 for this guitar is a really great deal!

    While on the subject of the less expensive guitars, I picked up a new "bone white" Epiphone Lucille recently. Plugged it into my 15W Marshall Valvestate practice amp and the neck pickup rewarded me with Robbie Krieger's slide tone! It's a full-on professional grade guitar that I'm mighty glad to have snapped up before they're all gone. The white ones are limited to just 300 world-wide. I'm not, nor have I ever been interested in becoming a shredder, even when I played in Hard Rock bands in the 1970s and 1990s. I just made my Blues licks fit whatever song the band was playing. My Lucille suits me down to the ground.

    04/26/2023: I bought one in white, and I love it. The only thing that I would have liked more would be rolled edges on neck wood. Nope, the wood edge is not rolled as some people say it is. Also, the rounded "bullet shaped" fret wire ends actually hurt my first finger. The bullet shaped fret wire ends are too high (need to be angled downward like all other guitars). And, they are too bumpyish and thumpyish (are they real words?). Yup, I feel this painful bump/thump, bump/thump, bump/thump as my hand travels up/down neck. But, I can fix that with a jeweler's file myself. It will then be a great guitar matching the $1,000.00 guitars.

    I am a diehard Fender Telecaster standard player that is more in to Country, Classic Rock & Do Wop and, not in to shredding or, Metal but, I find your channel here very useful & extremely informative. I love the Telecaster in this video and, that may be the upgrade to a Telecaster that I have been looking for. Whenever I am on stage and, go from Country to, Classic Rock of the 50’s, 60’s &, 70’s, I have to switch over to my Stratocaster which can be time consuming at times. I think the Telecaster you’re playing may be the answer to my situation on stage. Great channel for sure!👍👍🎸🎸

    One of my all time favorite guitars I ever owned was a Washburn WT-4V, an 80's super tele I got used in 92'. It was White w/ black binding. Not sure what kind of locking trem it was, I have never seen one like it since, it was a little different, it was speed loading, but where the blocks would go that lock down the string was like little individual doors that that took two tiny allen screw to tighten down on the string as it came out of the bridge. It had "Select" pickups, but it had the pointy Washburn headstock. It just felt really good to play and sounded really good. It had a super fast super strat type neck, I'll never forget that guitar. I ended up trading that and my mid 80's BC Rich warlock for a Marshall jcm900 combo and an old 70's Tulip les paul w/ a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, 1994. If I could have two guitars I previously owned back it would be that Washburn tele and that Ibanez les paul and that Marshall amp. The amp got stolen a couple years after I got it, but i have yet to have an amp that sounded that good.

    If you get a chance, take a look at the Musi Virgo and Capricorn lines. For just under 300 bucks: SS frets, bone nut, gorgeous roasted maple neck, more than adequate pick ups and mahogany bodies (which does make the guitar line a bit on the heavy side.) The finish on the entire line is nothing short of perfect... seriously perfect!
    Keep up the great work on the reviews!

    01:55 You commented about the frets not being too tall but well finished off with rounded ends and made of stainless steel. Stainless steel frets will not wear as much as nickel iron frets, if at all. And with the roasted maple neck/fretboard, there should be less movement from the wood platform they sit in, so stability should not be a problem in the future.

    Tasty, very tasty Max. Your playing is most enjoyable and your skills are impeccable. This Eart guitar sounded not so Tele, but still rocked with presence. I have the Older Eart T-style and it's my favorite for sure. Last two Earts I bought direct from Eart and they gave me a black EART tee-shirts too. I wear them proudly. Thanks Max for your hard work making videos and bringing us all the latest News and Musical products! \m/

    Max, its just not fair to guitar makers, you can make ANY guitar sound good. I truly have to accept your word when you find a quality instrument that plays well. Im simply not good enough to discern the minor nuances.. I like clean gittys, dont like gold.. The simplicity visually of this machine is hot.. I dig it 100. Love the vids.

    I picked up an Eart smx-sg3 a few weeks ago and im diggin it. The seller is a sales artist for a music company that ships Eart guitars to him to sell. I got a 2nd generation sg3 which the roasted maple is darker. Im in no hurry but will switch the pickups out soon.
    I got the satin sunburst finish, they call the color Virginia but I got some compound polish and polished the body and it looks pretty slick. Brightened the color and put a shine on it. Almost looks like a sienna burst now. When I bought it they were $169 on Amazon then jumped to $269 and now they are $172. Not sure whats going on there but im pretty stoked about my sg3👍

    I know what you mean when I saw an older 80s squire with a Floyd and hsh in cream and the how heavy it was sold me on it for 175 bucks 5 yrs ago like new too. This one is special too and we all know it's gonna be shredded like only you can do. Hard to believe this is a tele but it's neat having a tele style ax that sounds like what we like.. it took me along time to be captured by the tele look too.

    Dude you are a serious master at getting the high notes to really sing and sustain. You know, a TON of that is in the fingers and not so much the guitar. Yeah, the frets and neck have to be right, etc., even the bridge, but if your fret hand isn't precise, you're just not going to get that kind of clarity. You're a really, REALLY good player. I'm a little concerned you make these cheap guitars sound quite a bit better than they actually are.

      I have the headless, same brand it was not set up well on arrival, & the that particular bridge is a pain for tuning, but once I had the set up done, & broke down to buy a regular Allen key to tune it, it is just effortless to play, hard to see how you’d get a better value. This Tele has a way better bridge, well worth the extra $75, amazing that the first under $600 guitar I’ve bought is the only one that didn’t need new pick ups, this Tele sounds even better, hot like I like ‘em They keep this up, Fender & Gibson are in trouble. I have both those brands too, but from the 1960’s
      I’d never sell them, but the bang for buck you can get today is just incredible. Fabulous beginner instruments, you might never need an upgrade!

    This is sort of a metal Tele, isn’t it? Several things I like about it. I didn’t used to like the Tele shape, but it grew on me to the point that I now love that look. I love the Tele pickguard, but something about this EART looks great without it. Also, kinda makes sense to have a trem on a Tele - sort of a Twang² thang. BTW, Max, you said you’re always suspicious of non-FR trems. But have you ever played a VegaTrem? Oh, the compounding on the BACK of the neck? Brilliant!

    @Plastidon ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi guitar max , thanks for your video , I decided to buy one of these a few days ago. As all TH-camrs have mentioned, the neck is amazing. But I did find a few flaws .
    The set screw for the tremolo arm doesn’t match the supplied Allen key , or any Allen key I have available. So it basically will just spin inside the set screw or strip it out .
    Found the coil spilt switch seems backwards to me , like I would want full hunbucking in the position that faces towards the bridge.
    Not the other way.
    But that is just me .
    The paint has a few very minor blemishes.
    Also found when putting on new strings that they tend to slide back in the tremolo while your trying to restring .
    You end up with extra string winds.
    So it’s like you need to pull them through, then place painters tape to hold in place at the bridge.
    Found an issue with the high e tuner , either it’s sharp inside or to slippery.
    I have had 2 strings break or slide out when bending or using the tremolo.
    Seems stable now .
    And there’s also a crack line at the wall of the upper neck pocket .
    It’s under the paint .
    But you can clearly see it .
    As far as the tremolo , it’s nice overall, I feel like they could add a full block more like the gotoh 510 .
    Curious if that tremolo could be easily out in , but the block size may not match there’s .
    I also found that if you want do subtle vibrato , you need to loosen the springs and remove one spring .
    Otherwise the back of the tremolo hits the body and your subtle vibrato doesn’t work .
    The guitar itself is really comfortable, arm carve is awesome, no pain from the normal hard tele edge .
    The nut edges could be a tad smoother.
    Would love for them to just add locking tuners .
    Tremolos like these need that .
    I would gladly pay another $40 bucks for the guitar if it had those , and you know they can do that for cheap
    Probably cost them 5 bucks for locking tuner option .
    Pickups are pretty darn good .
    Putting on elixirs made the guitar sound and play even better.
    Overall a very nice guitar.
    Just needs a little bit more refinement.
    happy I saw your video and added this gweetar to the collection.

    Ya know, I'm a Tele guy through and through. I'm a big John 5 fan, and always wanted his HH style. So, low and behold, I find a 1986 or so Fender Contemporary Telecaster. It's got EVERYTHING here. HH, floyd-ish whammy setup, and a split coil switch. No pickguard. A real heavy lifter for the beefier stuff, subtle where it needs to be, and it has the split coil for the twangyier single coil country stuff. Fender Japan has been making the "Boxer" series for the last year or two, and they're phenomenal reproductions. For my money, Fender Japan > Fender USA.

    I just ordered the shell pink guitar. I actually chose this over the Charvel variation because I can't stand the half pick guard thing of the old Tele style. Had charve not put that on there this is not apost I am making. But I found this Eart trying to do a search on a more modern style take and I found this video. I also found another guitar that was pretty sweet and on par but it had too much glitter in it! lol That is the Musi fusion Virgo. They say it is just as sweet to play. You should check it out! Anyway, I agree with your sentiments on this guitar and I have a feeling I will be gravitating to it to. It has all the mojo of my Charvels that I love so much and was an easy choice. Thank you for your time putting this video review together. It helps!

    Hey Brother, very nice review on this ax. I have 2 Eart guitars, the standard strat, and there version of an explorer. Now i need to mention, a have two other strats, MIM fender, and Vintage V-6 Thomas Blug strat. A Gibson Les paul standard, PRS SE custom 24, and a couple Harley bentons too. T-62, and there H3 335 copy.
    I am constantly reaching for the Eart explorer when like you say, I need to get a lick down for a quick recording. The hamburgers on that sound phenomenal. The necks played great on both of the Eart guitars. I definitely am going to put this one on my list. I appreciate the review as always, great job and thank you for all your honest opinions and chops!

    To me, that's just another double humbucker guitar. I've got a vintage '57 with single coils that blows that thing out of the water. Teles weren't "stuck in the past". They had something that worked that created one of the most recognizable guitar sounds in history and they kept running with it.
