      Dave Lemos do you also think that classic cars should just be hauled up into a museum?

      The Road Runners, yes.

    • @shaverave8536
      @shaverave8536 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dave Lemos I respect that. I can see it from both sides, but these things were built to be used. So long as they are used with the highest level of respect. A museum condemns an object to a life it was never intended for.
      That said, I would rather see that guitar in a museum than in the hands of these fools who don't seem to have knowledge of or respect for the instrument.

    • @JamesStryker
      @JamesStryker 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I strongly disagree. My favourite guitar stories are ones of great guitars passed from one great player to another. I'd always rather see a great guitar in the hands of a player than in a glass case in a museum.

All I can say is - THANK YOU AND JEN cause the chickenpicken was worth the price of admission ! It's nice to see you shine on a variety of styles at a day job - that thousands of us guys dream of....you live it.

  • @samroney6644

    FYI, the serial number has NOTHING to do with what order they were made in, and the fact that this one has #1011 absolutely does NOT mean that it was the "11th" Nocaster made. it could just as easily be the 423rd, 289th, or 651st. Back in '51, Fender bought their bridge plates about 500 or more at a time, threw them all in a big bucket of bridge plates, and pulled them out randomly, in no particular order, to put on each guitar.
    Also, there was no lawsuit from Gretsch. There was a "cease and Desist" letter from Gretsch's lawyers only. Fender complied by clipping the decals, and so avoided any lawsuits.
    And, the middle position isn't the "outtaphasic" position, lol. its the neck pickup, without the dark cap engaged, and with the option of blending in the bridge using the blend knob(the tone knob on modern telecasters)
    You'd think that the guy from the rare guitar store should know all, or at least any, of that. Its a fairly famous story and unique guitar, for a guy in the "rare guitar" business to be so oblivious about. lol
    Nice licks though :-)

      I think Dave Gilmour has a 0001 serial stratocaster. But again, that doesn't mean its the first one that was made, and I'm sure David knows that. But I bet the 0001 stratocaster is great to pull out and show off when his buddies come by.

  • @ozbluesman
    @ozbluesman 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The middle position is not "out of phase". In fact it was the the neck pickup without cap. The "bridge position" is a blender of middle and neck . Sorry to be pedantic but this is a work of art and an investment .

  • @bensteelemusic
    @bensteelemusic 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    THIS is perfect guitar 'relicing' for me. I'm shopping for a Strat right now and I really want a new one to wear in myself and age it just like this '51.. I'm watching videos of 'how to relic your strat' etc and I hate it when they go too far or ding it and really rust up the hardware.. this 51 Fender here has no intentional relicing and it's beautiful, just natural wear and tear and that's how I want my Strat to look :) Might just get it resprayed in Nitro and let time do the rest!

  • @jemandthemystery
    @jemandthemystery 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you’re a collector maybe but there are so many modern guitars (Fender’s own Nocaster reissue being just one of them) that sound and look great. This is more nostalgia and myth selling to a rapidly diminishing demographic. Each to their own I guess.

  • @boogiewoogie9770

    Is the bottom cutout horn shape less broad than on later Tele models? This looks identical to replica I put together a few years back. I used a Warmoth body but always hated the horn size as scratchplate looked too close to the edge of the body. I think I needn't have been so concerned as I think it was the correct size looking at this...hope this isn't my replica : )

    The camera man needs to work on his close ups, he won't let the camera refocus, he zooms in and out before it can focus. Also i don't know if it's the guitar and amp pairing that isn't working out well, it sounds harsh and very unpleasant, not a classic sound at all.

  • @JonasSweden1
    @JonasSweden1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Why on earth using an amp like that for this demo??? There's just no point at all. Why not choose a quality old Fender amp so the guitar can really bloom?

    • @shaunw9270
      @shaunw9270 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +JonasSweden1 .... You're absolutely right there. I play my '52 USA re-issue Tele through a 20 year old Marshall JTM30. It has 5881 tubes and a Celestion Heritage speaker and blooms big style like real old school. That guy woulda sounded a lot better through a diffferent amp . Has he ever actually been told that much treble makes you sound cheap? !

    • @jaikwillis
      @jaikwillis 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jazz Man an original princeton is great amp, the modern reissues don't do justice. They aren't terrible and have their place but it doesn't give an ideal representation of what this guitar is probably capable of. There's another vid where he plays a Broadcaster into a vintage tweed and it sounds like it should.

    I've got a video of Andy Summers and he does this weird thing with his mouth while playing that drove me crazy Then I saw a video of my band playing and I do the same thing. When you play, your trying attempting to make the guitar "talk" and you sometimes form the notes with your mouth at the same time your playing the notes on the guitar.

    • @SquierStrat72
      @SquierStrat72 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Adam Feher Very little, outside of the names and wiring. Broadcaster came first, in '50. The wiring was a three way switch and two knobs. There was no tone control. The second pot acted as a blend control to dial in shades of the neck pickup with the bridge when in the bridge position(1). It was non-functional in positions 2 and 3. Position 2 was just the neck pickup. Position 3 was the neck with that deep tone drop. The Nocaster('51) was identical, but for the name being dropped due to the cease and desist letter from Gretsch. There was no actual lawsuit. In '52, it was named Telecaster and the blend pot was changed to a tone pot, giving bridge with variable tone control, neck with variable tone control, and neck with the preset, deep tone. Around 66-67, CBS finally dropped Leo's "Deep Rhythm" circuit in position 3, bringing what we now think of as standrad tele wiring: neck/neck+bridge/bridge, using the 3- way switch, along with standard volume and tone.

    Here is the history:
    1. Initially Fender released the "esquire" series with only one pick-up.
    2. The "broadcaster" series was next that featured two pick-ups.
    3. Gretsch sued Fender over the "broadcaster" name that Gretsch owned.
    4. The "noCaster" series was born due to the lack of name on the neck because of the lawsuit.
    5. Fender introduces "telecaster" that has two pick-ups and a truss rod through the neck.
