Ya'll...I haven't watched Andertons in a LONG time and HOLY CRAP, the Cap has gotten SO good at soloing. I mean the man makes it sound so smooth and natural and those phrases are MONEY! So cool. Good job, Lee. It's so cool to see that you love the thing you sell. It's not just a business.
I think he’s probably in the situation where he appreciates he needs to pace himself when it comes to buying new guitars otherwise they just won’t be special to him anymore.
I been watching Mr Lee interview with Mr Albert Lee.That was amazing.You both make me smile and cry.I know this is diffrent video but i would like to say Mr Lee you have beautiful soul and heart.This chanel its not only about guitars,this chanel makes our life better.I would like to thank you all for being big part of my live.Wish you all the best.
sorry, they are not that good. i have one and tuners are bad, few frets buzz, on f hole is ugly job done. you need to replace neck and tuners and restore the f hole to have really nice instrument. you can't compare to a usa fender. although pickups do sound good and have low noise.
@@andristark That's how the companies cut costs. They let you do the setup or pay someone else. If you want a setup from the factory the price would go up 100-200. If you want a straight neck and level frets...that takes time and money.
Pete: "at one point in your life you get it." So true. After playing for 40 years, and NEVER having even picked up a Tele, recently got a Vintera Road Worn 50's I love and I can't believe I lived so long without one!
Even through a compressed TH-cam video I can massively hear the difference between Pete’s puriple-caster and the Thinline. That thinline is the best telecaster I’ve ever heard on the internet. So resonant
It's sweet how he hasn't lost that child in a sweet shop joy for guitars despite being surrounded by hundreds or thousands of them every day at work for decades! And no, he can't be that good of an actor. Both guitars sound and look great.
I recently bought Fender Vintera 50s Road worn Telecaster in Vintage Blonde. It was the chunky neck and 7.25 inch radius that "sold" me on it. Ever since it MAKES me WANT to play it, and I feel that I have become a better player. It is so important to find a guitar that you bond with. Lovely Tele Lee.... Enjoy it.
Bought my mystic black American Elite Tele at Andertons a few years ago. What an exciting day in the shop trying out and actually buying one. It changed my guitar playing life!
Lee, In Japanese, "1" is pronounced EE-CHEE, but when you say "one one" in Japanese, they pronounce a solid long "EEEEE" sound, which also means "Good" When you put three or more "ones" together it is even more lucky. (This is why November 11 (11.11) is a very lucky day every year. In short, the three "1"s guitar is very very lucky.
I am Japanese. That is not the correct information. Unfortunately, 111 doesn't mean anything in particular. By the way, November 11th is called Pocky Day in Japan. Because it resembles a popular bar-shaped snack.
I love my '94 Mexican candy apple red standard tele. It's super rusted and the frets are worn, and the electronics are dried up and crusty, but I still love playing it.
I’ve got a 1970-71 Hot rod tele that has a humbucker at the neck, it’s a monster sounding axe! Black with a flame maple neck. I got it in 1976! I always wanted a nice thin line tele.
I've been waiting for this day. Congrats, Captain on the great Tele! I got an American Original 60's Thinline this year that's killer. Thinline for life!
He has many telecasters in his shop for sure but having and owning are not quite the same. Owning a thing it's knowing it by heart and having a relationship with it, it's not all about property
@@kingstumble unfortunately texts are not a good medium for subtle form of irony, they're even less when someone read and respond at glance. So I've misinterpreted your intention mate, English isn't even my first language, it happens. No bad feelings
I’m a beginner at playing guitar and finding a guitar that fits were I want to be someday seems daunting.That’s cool that you found your “One Guitar”, finding “the one” might never happen for many guitar players. 👍🎸 It’ll take me years to find out if my guitar purchases fit into this category.
If you are talking about pete, yes that purple is the one for him. But for captain, he just want a tele to add into his collection. His "the one" guitar is probably his white strat with a man sticker on it. As for us, just need to keep improving our skills, technicalities, melodies, musicals, and tons of guitars testing/ownings in order to find our "The One" .
I would like to see a comparison of solid and semi-hollow where the guitars are the same model: Tele and Thinline, LP and ES LP (though not currently in production), Starplayer Special & Starplayer TV, McCarty 594 and HBII.... there are others, but I can't remember them right now. Please do this.
Well, I do not know about the others, but the starplayer special has different pickups and a bolt on neck, so comparing to a tv might be pointless. You won‘t be able to tell what makes the difference.
I recently bought that Squier Thinline model from you. Had it shipped all the way to Portland, OR, USA. I've owned several Classic Vibe Squiers before but this Thinline Squier is hands down the best. The neck is definitely slim which I don't normally go for, but somehow it still feels good. I have a set of Seymour Duncan Five Two pickups I planned to install, but I like the set in the Squier quite a bit. The guitar looks killer and punches way above its weight class in every regard.
@@mknewlan67 Shipping to Portland, OR was only $70. And it arrived in 7 days. And the guitar was on sale. I'm still in shock I was able to pick up this guitar from a shop in England and get it delivered to Portland so cheaply and quickly.
I happened to walk into a guitar center one day and found one of the road worn models. I knew y’all had some made but didn’t think you could get them in the US. I got so excited and bought it right away. I had just bought a American ultra tele but it just didn’t fill that tele hole in my soul so I had brought it back to get something else and that’s when I found it. I ended up replacing the bridge pickup with a little ‘59 and it rocks. The road worn models were not relic’d very much so I fixed that for them. I never had a relic’d guitar before and I will never sell it. It’s like it is broken in which makes it extremely comfortable and easier to play.
I put Twisted Tele pickups because of Pete's Tele. (I know that that's not what's in his anymore). Love the sound of mine. Cheers Pete and the legendary Purple Tele.💜
I've said it for a while: I love Lee's taste in tone. And i preferred the opening Squier tone to anything done later with the Custom Shops. I hated Teles for the first 40 years of my guitar awareness life. And then something changed. Always thought i was a Strat Guy, but since i got a Nash T-57 a year ago, my Strat gets very little lap time.
I am SO in love with that Yamaha Integrated Amp. I used to have the Yamaha CR-2020 receiver (Mid 1970's vintage) that is basically that amp with a tuner in it. Massive Yamaha love going on.
I have that guitar already. I went to the store to play a Silver Sky. Picked up a 60’s Les Paul first. A few minutes later I was saying “shit.. well I think I just bought myself a guitar” and I’ve been in love with it since.
Fender Telecasters are one of a kind. It is a no-frills made guitar that really gets your fingers into it. Sure there are different modern made ones that are faster necks so to speak. I love Telecasters because you can get any sound out of them and they inspire me to hybrid pick more. That's why I own 3 and a Reverened Gristlemaster as well.
I bought a Vintera Tele Custom, but sold it as it just wasn’t getting played. I’m much more connected to my Player Series Telecaster and definitely a maple board.
I love my red Vintera Custom. It did get some small mods, though (Mastery M3 bridge, new pups; Amber Blues & CuNiFe Wide Range, 4x VIPots 550k, reversed pickup switch like EVH, and a black pickguard).
@@xcaptainflash2000 I guess it depends which Vintera you go for as there is the 50s and 60s Tele. The 50s has more vintage appointments (7.25” radius fingerboard, 21 vintage style frets and a bigger neck). But you can get the 50s in a modified version with 9.5” fingerboard radius, medium/jumbo frets, still a big neck but not as big as the standard 50s and twisted Tele custom shop neck and bridge pickups. So much choice! 60s are great but you get the standard version with a Bigsby (not a fan personally) and the the more vintage specs. The 60s Tele modified is once again more modern features (9.5” radius, medium/jumbo frets and hotter pickups). I guess with the Vintera you’ve gotta decide so you want to go vintage or modern (which is at a cost). To me the Player Series is what the Tele should be. A raw instrument built to an excellent spec. Great pickups, 9.5” radius, satin neck and at a great price if you shop around. The more vintage guitar just wasn’t for me, but could quite easily be for someone else. I’m still looking at a Vintera, but in the modified. Have a look on the Fender website you’ll work out the differences between each model. “Standard” = vintage spec, Modified = modern appointments
I once had a Squier Affinity Tele that was absolutely amazing. I eventually put Duncan Quarter Pound pickups in it and gave it to my neighbor who actually knows how to play the damned thing. You can hear it somewhere here on the TH-cams I think because he and his band made an album with it. So there's that. Teles just plain rock.
Congrats Lee. Great looking tele. I've just got first tele thinline, albeit Vintage, not Fender...let alone custom shop! It has had some custom work though - a P90 added in the neck and a gold anodized pick guard. Looks and plays amazing.
I like the couches in your new room. It gives a very laid back vibe. I'm not sold on the colour though. I think purple would have been better. I'm sure Pete would agree 👍
Great comment fella. Yes, I agree. We are indeed very lucky to have stores like Anderton's here and we shouldn't take them for granted. And before anybody asks, I have nothing to do with the management or operation of Anderton's. I am merely one of their humble, occasional customers.
Same in the whole of ireland. No big names. Every shop stocking same rubbish cheap fenders vintage and aria. Ridiculous the way these companies treat stores. Gibson had closed more guitar shops than it's sold guitars
I love my Road Worn Vintera Strat, it feels great. I have no issue with new or road worn. But to me, I do not like the "stiffness" or "stickiness" of new guitars. I also treat them,(new), so delicately until eventually it gets that ding or mark. Just my 2 cents.
I like relic aging, but only if I’m the one doing it naturally over time. I don’t like other people artificially aging my guitars for me. But I understand that some people want the artificial aging.
I’m one of those godless bastards who likes the Poly finishes because I want my things to look new forever. I don’t understand wanting a guitar with bare wood showing. I also don’t like red wine or pickles. 🤷♂️ It’s not really my business to tell other people what kind of guitar finish they should like. Other people’s scuffed up guitars don’t hurt me any…
Try get a shot of a good quality custom shop to try i done this and bought it and i improved quick as my guitar felt so worn in and comfy to play with good relic,d neck and its absalout dream to play compared to these glossy polyutrethhen finishes that dont age much and look dredful when plastic chips off
@@johnnyspuggy get the vintage feel and sound but not the battered look. It makes no difference to how it’s plays or sounds and that’s based on experience..
@@johnnyspuggy Funny, I've got close to 80 guitars and basses in my collection - 90% are poly and not one has "plastic" chipping off. That's the beauty of poly over lacquer, it doesn't chip.
@@MyName-nx1jj what i mean is if you are like alot of people who like vintage looking guitars with the aged affect on the wood as the nitro ages,this is almost impossible to get the same look as poly is more of a hard plastic compound rather than thin layers of wearable lacquer so it doesn,t wear off layer at a time.i also have poly guitars and few are chipped from a few bumps or falling over ect
The Captain and Pete have such engaging personalities and can play. Soon as I saw the distressed backs. Not my cup of coffee. . But for those who love relics, enjoy.
i have a love hate relationship with the tele, one day ill think this shits uncomfortable af and looks like a brontosaurus, next day ill get a weird craving for it
Inspired to pull out my Nash daphne blue tele. The telecaster is the most honest guitar. The stratocaster is a bit sneaky. The Les Paul is a bully. I love them all.
I haven't had enough guitars to know if I've ever had "the one". I consider my LP bought in 2009 "The One" and I have had 2 other LPs. I loved them all but this 2009, when I play it I always wind up playing more than I intended. That's why Pete knew Lee was going for the lighter neck even before Lee did and why that's the only measure I buy a guitar by. Just get the one you can't put down...
@@hiimawasteoftime8678 I hope not. It'd harm his brand identity. It also makes no sense... PRS guitars are usually finished in poly and none of them are even remotely old enough to become legitimate relics.
Well, it just so happens I've got my eye on a couple of Teles. A 2019 Vintera in Butterscotch Blond or a player in the same colour, and also a white player with maple finger board 😍😍 I was saving for my dream acoustic, but I think we all need a Tele in our lives
Texas Tea is a beautiful colour, but impossible to capture on camera. My Ultra may be the ultimate strat, was looking into the Ultra Tele too. The thinline looks great, although I’m not into relic. It was intriguing years ago, but now I think it has gone too far. But there’s a guitar for all of us. An Ultra is as high end as I need to go (owned many custom shops, masterbuildt, boutique brands). It’s the ONE for me (next to my 1995 white Gibson Flying V).
You bastards! I had just lifted a giant mug of coffee toward my lips when the giant spider practically leapt out of my screen and now there's coffee all over my desk. I like spiders, but I'm less fond of surprises like that. Great-sounding guitars, though.
I can understand paying for special attention on the fretwork and neck and possibly custom pups but anything other than a very light relicing seems to be a waste. I'll make my own history with the instrument.
With relicing you’re paying for “giving” 50 years to the instrument, so you can start your own wear much faster than it would take on a brand new nitro finish (poly finishes will never age the same way as nitro)
@@sirlost94 And someone like Lee probably isn't going to have the chance of playing the snot out of a guitar, night after night to wear it in. He has a business to run. So, if he can get a head-start on the wearing-in, I don't see a problem with that at all.
I play a reliced Tele, Took 40 years plus to really trash it;-) They're tough! Picking up a reliced Custom Shop doesn't feel anywhere close to playing one being played for decades. But if you like a pre-trashed one, who am I to disagree;-) Enjoy.
It’s all a marketing con. No other industry would get away with it. Charge a load more for a beat up product that adds nothing to the quality of sound or tone. I’ve fallen for it myself in the past but never again. You’re only fooling yourself.
@@davids9192 Yeah, I have wondered if reliced guitars are a way to salvage guitars damaged at the factory: One day the company is discussing the high rate of finishing errors and some bright guy says well, here's way to deal with that and make money doing it!
@@yellowtruckproductions7502 relics usually take hours upon hours in the custom shop with different techniques, not some scam by fender to sell damaged goods lol. It just looks aesthetically pleasing if you dont like it dont buy it
I never get tired of Danish Pete's playing ! So nice !
It's like I always say:
New Guitarist - Who would want a Butterscotch Tele?
Seasoned Guitarist - All I want is a Butterscotch Tele!

You really think so. THink again fella
Really admire Lee’s self restraint. For someone who owns a music shop, you’d imagine that he would have 7 Teles by now.
"Never smoke your own supply"- comes to mind lol
He's got three houses and 2 flats instead.
@@nunosantos614 read my mind lol
I think he’s probably in the situation where he appreciates he needs to pace himself when it comes to buying new guitars otherwise they just won’t be special to him anymore.
We had one Tele when I was young...it was Black and white with two channels, BBC and ITV. That was it !

Pete found his soulmate with that tele, like a match made in heaven 🥰
Damn that squier is awesome!
you're probably right but it also helps when it runs through a pedal board thats worth a few quid and an expensive amp.
sorry, they are not that good. i have one and tuners are bad, few frets buzz, on f hole is ugly job done. you need to replace neck and tuners and restore the f hole to have really nice instrument. you can't compare to a usa fender. although pickups do sound good and have low noise.

Same here! I got the Vintera Road Worn 50s Tele. Feels so good and comfortable to play! Hard to put it down!
Pete's phrasing is inspiring.Those fast jazzy passages gave Me morning wood in the afternoon
Even through a compressed TH-cam video I can massively hear the difference between Pete’s puriple-caster and the Thinline. That thinline is the best telecaster I’ve ever heard on the internet. So resonant
I love how when they open the cases, Lee started speaking quietly like it was a new born baby and not a (stunning) slab of wood.
It's sweet how he hasn't lost that child in a sweet shop joy for guitars

Lefty one?
Geez I wish Anderton’s could expand to the US. My local Guitar Center is a complete and utter joke.
We must live in the same city,
Great comment fella. Yes, I agree. We are indeed very lucky to have stores like Anderton's here and we shouldn't take them for granted. And before anybody asks, I have nothing to do with the management or operation of Anderton's. I am merely one of their humble, occasional customers.
I think that my dream Tele would be an ash-bodied, early-to mid-fifties model built to order by my favourite Masterbuilder, Yuriy Shishkov. One day...
Same in the whole of ireland. No big names. Every shop stocking same rubbish cheap fenders vintage and aria. Ridiculous the way these companies treat stores. Gibson had closed more guitar shops than it's sold guitars
Sweetwater is pretty good
I love my Road Worn Vintera Strat, it feels great. I have no issue with new or road worn. But to me, I do not like the "stiffness" or "stickiness" of new guitars. I also treat them,(new), so delicately until eventually it gets that ding or mark. Just my 2 cents.
Legitimately got startled when the spider came down! Fun video!
"Which one should I go for guys?"
Pete's purple Tele. Damn that guitar sounds good.
I like relic aging, but only if I’m the one doing it naturally over time. I don’t like other people artificially aging my guitars for me. But I understand that some people want the artificial aging.
I’m one of those godless bastards who likes the Poly finishes because I want my things to look new forever. I don’t understand wanting a guitar with bare wood showing. I also don’t like red wine or pickles. 🤷♂️ It’s not really my business to tell other people what kind of guitar finish they should like. Other people’s scuffed up guitars don’t hurt me any…
Try get a shot of a good quality custom shop to try i done this and bought it and i improved quick as my guitar felt so worn in and comfy to play with good relic,d neck and its absalout dream to play compared to these glossy polyutrethhen finishes that dont age much and look dredful when plastic chips off
@@johnnyspuggy get the vintage feel and sound but not the battered look. It makes no difference to how it’s plays or sounds and that’s based on experience..
@@johnnyspuggy Funny, I've got close to 80 guitars and basses in my collection - 90% are poly and not one has "plastic" chipping off. That's the beauty of poly over lacquer, it doesn't chip.
@@MyName-nx1jj what i mean is if you are like alot of people who like vintage looking guitars with the aged affect on the wood as the nitro ages,this is almost impossible to get the same look as poly is more of a hard plastic compound rather than thin layers of wearable lacquer so it doesn,t wear off layer at a time.i also have poly guitars and few are chipped from a few bumps or falling over ect
I never knew a garden spade could sound so good😂Stunning guitar!!
Aaaah yes! New guitar day is always nice! Lovely guitars for sure :)
I concur with your choice Captain Lee. Just a little more girth in that back pickup! Also, like the T-shirt :)
So many beautiful guitars in this video - awesome playing too, that bond Pete has is visible :O
Well that’s spooky… I’m literally editing a video with a Goat in it ha ha!!! Love you guys
Is it purple?
True
Look its rob ! Weren't you exposed for being an insufferable person by many big youtubers especially KDH?💀
The Captain and Pete have such engaging personalities and can play. Soon as I saw the distressed backs. Not my cup of coffee. . But for those who love relics, enjoy.
Pretty sure Pete could make a cereal box and fishing line sound like a world class instrument
LOLOLLLLL!!!!! Hearing Lee doing the phone number skit reminded me of," Are You Being Served!!!!" LOLOLLLLLL!!!!!
Something about the Tele, they are almost mystical. Still don't like the look of a telecaster but it is my go-to guitar.
The headstock is what I don't like, it's kind of a lazy design like they cut up a strat headstock and said fk it that's good enough lol
I learnt to love my tele. . Now i wouldn't ever sell it.
@@mindfall82 Telecaster was first.
i have a love hate relationship with the tele, one day ill think this shits uncomfortable af and looks like a brontosaurus, next day ill get a weird craving for it
@@mindfall82
My Tele Custom has the big fat 70s headstock. ☺️
Inspired to pull out my Nash daphne blue tele. The telecaster is the most honest guitar. The stratocaster is a bit sneaky. The Les Paul is a bully. I love them all.
I haven't had enough guitars to know if I've ever had "the one". I consider my LP bought in 2009 "The One" and I have had 2 other LPs. I loved them all but this 2009, when I play it I always wind up playing more than I intended. That's why Pete knew Lee was going for the lighter neck even before Lee did and why that's the only measure I buy a guitar by. Just get the one you can't put down...
I can’t imagine Paul going for it, but if Lee ever got a relic’d Silver Sky, we just may get the first human spontaneous combustion ever filmed!
I don't think Paul will ever do relics
@@hiimawasteoftime8678 I hope not. It'd harm his brand identity. It also makes no sense... PRS guitars are usually finished in poly and none of them are even remotely old enough to become legitimate relics.
@@Diax1324 it doesn't really make sense on a brand like PRS no
I've owned about 20 relic Teles over the years - Thinline included and it's the guitar I always come back to.
Well, it just so happens I've got my eye on a couple of Teles. A 2019 Vintera in Butterscotch Blond or a player in the same colour, and also a white player with maple finger board 😍😍
I was saving for my dream acoustic, but I think we all need a Tele in our lives
Texas Tea is a beautiful colour, but impossible to capture on camera. My Ultra may be the ultimate strat, was looking into the Ultra Tele too. The thinline looks great, although I’m not into relic. It was intriguing years ago, but now I think it has gone too far. But there’s a guitar for all of us. An Ultra is as high end as I need to go (owned many custom shops, masterbuildt, boutique brands). It’s the ONE for me (next to my 1995 white Gibson Flying V).
this video combined with that pedal shows video on telecasters 100 percent convinced me to get a tele. first real guitar id say, cheers !
Damn the Squire is the star here lol, i thought it was a limited edition Fender! that thing sounded perfect!
Okay so I’ve been away from here for awhile but damn this new room is a vibe
"It's so Resin 80." Band name alert! WOOT!
About time, Lee. You won't regret it.
(Ok, I own a CS thinline with 51 nocasters)
lol😂 look at that squire lying on the floor screaming "but i'm spanking new!!"
Danish “Purple” Pete - That was fantastic.
You bastards! I had just lifted a giant mug of coffee toward my lips when the giant spider practically leapt out of my screen and now there's coffee all over my desk. I like spiders, but I'm less fond of surprises like that. Great-sounding guitars, though.
happy to see you have a tele
Someday, I hope to be able to compare custom shop fenders and choose the one I want out of them.
I can understand paying for special attention on the fretwork and neck and possibly custom pups but anything other than a very light relicing seems to be a waste. I'll make my own history with the instrument.
Exactly couldn't agree more 💯%
Cool story bro
Spot on. Fretwork and neck work can actually have a bearing on tone produced . Buckle rash just seems pointless.
With relicing you’re paying for “giving” 50 years to the instrument, so you can start your own wear much faster than it would take on a brand new nitro finish (poly finishes will never age the same way as nitro)
@@sirlost94 And someone like Lee probably isn't going to have the chance of playing the snot out of a guitar, night after night to wear it in. He has a business to run. So, if he can get a head-start on the wearing-in, I don't see a problem with that at all.
Congratulations Lee, she’s a beaut!🖤
Congrats on your new Tele Lee! Looks unique by itself imo.
LOVED that outro... 🔥
The relicing on that purple one is totally unconvincing
Actual heart in my actual mouth at 7:08 !! Tele-sabers!
A huge fan of worned guitars. Not at all of reliced guitars. And that's that 😄
Great playing, as always, by the Peteish Dane!
Congrats Lee! Great choice, Enjoy!
Lee & Pete the biggest bromance on TH-cam! Love it. Nice guitar Lee.
Those FSRs sound pretty awesome.. I like the second one Lee tried better.
I was left with the impression that Lee wasn't really bonding with the Tele.
Bet it's on the shop wall in a couple of weeks 😄
I love Lee and Pete but really don't like "reliced" guitars unless they been reliced by time and use.
I play a reliced Tele, Took 40 years plus to really trash it;-) They're tough!
Picking up a reliced Custom Shop doesn't feel anywhere close to playing one being played for decades. But if you like a pre-trashed one, who am I to disagree;-) Enjoy.
@@goldmole1 By all means, whatever floats your boat. I was merely expressing a personal preference! :)
It’s all a marketing con. No other industry would get away with it. Charge a load more for a beat up product that adds nothing to the quality of sound or tone. I’ve fallen for it myself in the past but never again. You’re only fooling yourself.
@@davids9192 Yeah, I have wondered if reliced guitars are a way to salvage guitars damaged at the factory: One day the company is discussing the high rate of finishing errors and some bright guy says well, here's way to deal with that and make money doing it!
@@yellowtruckproductions7502 relics usually take hours upon hours in the custom shop with different techniques, not some scam by fender to sell damaged goods lol. It just looks aesthetically pleasing if you dont like it dont buy it
The intro guitar noodling had me waiting a Tennessee Jed or US Blues Jam!😀
Lefties! Don't forget to put your orders in for the purple lefty Classic Vibes schedule to come in January.
I’m with Ya Pete on Spiders. Awesome Video Guys and as Always Jammin 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
