I absolutely love that Andertons made these guitars accessible for everyone, instead of just saying you can only have an expensive custom shop or nothing. The wonderful people of Andertons are true musicians.
Thanks for sharing this Pete. I ordered a purple Squire Tele from Anderton's and had your signature pickups put in. You and Lee were kind enough to sign the headstock for me. I really enjoy playing it and thank you for inspiring me and helping me learn. Peace.
Went cheap and overseas very recently and picked up a lefty purple Danish Pete CV50 from Andertons....had to replace the first fret (too low)....but with brass saddles and Lollar Special T's....what a beautiful beast in tone and looks.
I've got a midnight blue (purple-ish) telecaster with a sparkle in the finish. It's AMAZING! I have my favourite guitarists like Frusciante and JM. But Pete, you inspire me to pick up the guitar more than anyone! Love this video and you really were meant to have this guitar, it's a brilliant story. Love you Pete, Andertons videos are 100 times better with you on board the team and we are blessed to see you play/test all these guitars and gear. Thank you so much for being amazing and inspiring me and so many others to play and try be the best player I can be. And for all the little tips you give us all along the way. Thanks man!
Mate that's so true, lve had (& still have) LPs, Dots, a Gretsch... I was in a shop 3yrs back & picked up a maple necked Tele, never played one in my life & bang!! I'm hooked!
This has always been my favorite TH-cam guitar. I’m like pet in that I always prefer more colorful guitars, the blacks and white or sunburst guitars never speak to to me
It's so nice to own a guitar that just 'speaks to you. I have a black Les Paul that is just so perfect to my ear and feels so perfect in the hand, that I could never part with it.
In a room FULL of guitars, a purple 50's road worn tele SCREAMED at me...I knew that split second that we would be together...it has a single ply parchment pickguard that is slightly warped...it is MAGICAL!!! I have at least 23 other guitars, this one would be one of the last to go...
This was the case with my firebird I bought a couple of years ago. I had never seen one in person before this but always loved the look of them. I walked into my favorite music shop one day just to look around and not even buy anything and saw it up on the wall at the very top. I asked to try it and immediately fell in love with it! i never really understood when guitar players said that before then. I went home and started scheming on how to get it and finally decided I had to part ways with two guitars and an old amp that I never played. I went back two days later and picked it up.
Similar story with my Firebird! Had never even held one but saw a handful of TH-cam demos and loved the bright, unique tone of Firebird pickups. Zero Firebirds local to try so I took a couple weeks and looked for the right one online and took the leap. 2014 Firebird V in classic white with Lollar Firebird pickups already in it. I fell in love with it immediately. I got lucky, wide, flat, thin neck (so thin that when I restring it I have to get 3 strings on it before it straightens out the back-bow in the neck) and for an 8 year old guitar it had ZERO fret wear and no blemishes of any kind. The tuners are Steinbergers, frets are cut over the binding so no binding nubs and more playing surface (which I like) and the jack is on the edge of the body instead of the front so it's not "vintage correct" but the quirky ergonomics that some people don't like - large size, neck shifted several inches to the left of most guitars - ended up suiting me perfectly. Because of the lighter tuners, zero neck dive, it's perfectly balanced. It plays effortlessly and the tone is like nothing else. I will never part with it.
@@swoooner4304 Depends on what you mean by "stock". Firebird pickups are an enigma. If you're a fan of Firebird pickups you will pull your hair out reading forums online. Most people don't know what they're talking about. Firebird pickups are NOT mini humbuckers. They share a footprint with mini humbuckers and nothing else. The originals had alnico magnets in them but for years Gibson has been using ceramic magnets and over-winding them. A true Firebird pickup should be somewhere in the 6.5-7.5K range. The ceramic ones were something like 15K neck and 20K bridge - super hot, muddy as hell when overdriven. In other words, they don't sound like a vintage Firebird. Depending on your style that might be perfectly fine, but I like low-output for clean/edge of breakup sounds. My Firebird already had the Lollars in it when I got it so I never got to compare it to stock, but compared to the hot ceramic pickups Gibson had been using for like 15 or 20 years they are lower output, cleaner, brighter, and way more articulate than the demos I've heard of the stock ceramic pickups. The Lollars are very close to a vintage Firebird sound. Mine sounds like a fat Telecaster, a Tele being my favorite sound before I discovered the Firebird. If you play heavy, overdriven rock you might really dig the stock ceramic pickups! If you're like me, the Lollars are excellent and much preferred. To each their own.
th-cam.com/video/H26xInGCarc/w-d-xo.html Check out this video of a 64 Firebird to hear what a vintage one sounds like. The Lollar pickups are close to this with maybe a touch more bottom end. It should be noted that people disliked the ceramic pickups so much that just this year they started putting the alnico pickups in the standard production guitars and the Custom Shop guitars
@@maxpeck4154 I knew they weren't just mini humbuckers, but I didn't not know everything else lol It sounds like I might enjoy the lollars so I'll have to look more into that. Thanks for the info!
Happy belated birthday Pete! Congrats on your great luck and special people around you that made this happen for you! The joy you feel shows on your face you you play it. ✌️ & ❤️
If it's a custom shop the pickups would have been wound by Josephina, right? Even tho they're Nocaster and Twisted Tele, they're hand wound instead of off the shelf machine wound. That's likely why the pickups sound very unique in that particular guitar.
This is the first time I’ve heard a valid argument in favor of relic’ing. I have a high end Strat and a Tele that I’m careful with and a beautiful Squier Tele that was much less expensive and I play the Squier all the time. I will reconsider my avoidance of relics in the future. Thanks Pete!
Soooooo, what your saying is, You want much like as in a Hollywood Film, there's the Leading Actor and the STUNT DOUBLE. Your Purple Tele is the "Bring it On" stunt guitar ready to do battle in the clubs, dive bars and on all the stages of the world. Love your work Pete. "Party on Wayne" ! ! ! 👾🦹♂🧙♂🍇🫐🧃☔🌂🧿💷♾🟣
i get the feeling a roadworn tele is suddenly THE one to have.... possibly because all the early greats had one led zep. jeff beck.. stones .. the who ..the eagles etc ... ive just dig my own out..its been in the bedroom corner for about 4 years.. and im loving it.... im not in any way a great player... but i think i need another one...lol
If you had all three of them, you could have one at Andertons, one at your house in Dane Land, and one at your house in sunny Englandshire. Win/Win/Win
Great history video! Love the fact I got a shoutout on the Instagram screenshot! Still remember writing that comment on the photo! Never change the pickguard from the OG
pete i love it man love to see a man loven his axe as mouch as i do i have a chapman that i just love sooooo sooo mouch its my evearything i eveae wanted in a guitar be well and rock on man
I absoletly love this guitar. I went and played 15 different Silver Skys, but one stuck out to me and fit me like a glove. Perfect low and highs with unbelievable harmonics. Also, I could listen to Pete play all damn day.
I never thought I would have purple guitars and now I have two. I got one of the Squier Bullets from your first run and it's ok. I've upgraded it a bit but the neck still needs a good bit of work. The frets were pretty rough out of the box. I got my second purple guitar just this week, a Sterling Majesty. It was definitely love at first play.
First and foremost. Love Pete. Love his talent on the guit and all the shows with the captain are great. I can see why Lee does most of the talking because I didn't understand a damn thing Pete said in this video. Is he really Danish??
Pete is quite an engaging and interesting storyteller. Now I have to go find the right Telecaster for me. Kidding, I'm modding a Glarry. I know, I know, but I have all the tools I need, and the patience. It's going to end up a cool guitar. I'll chronicle it all on my channel.
love it i find it so strange that you can have a wall of any guitars and 1 jumps out at you i have a silver series strat and that happened to me great vid pete
Two best Tele's... Pete's Purple Tele and Dan's (That Pedal Show) Red.... or is it the players and not the Tele's? Maybe a little of both. Killer Killer Killer tones!
I had one of the purple MiM road worn Teles in 2019 that allegedly were spec'ed by Sweetwater or Guitarcenter. But I sold it, because the purple wasn't quite right and had a different sort of hue than Pete's.
I can order a set of those pickups? Well, consider that done and ordered a few minutes ago. Now the wait for them to arrive in Canada for installation. Now if I could only play or sound as great as Pete. Questions for installation to match that magical tone. Are the pots the standard 250 and the tone capacitor 22?
My local Guitar Center had a purple road worn that hung on the wall for months. It was perfect, but I couldn’t swing that price. That neck felt 30 years old (and my strat is 30 years old so I know.
I have to thank you Pete and also Dan Steinhardt for absolutely forcing me to finally give in and try a tele. I had convinced myself that I was going to order the Isbell tele just based on the Internet buzz. I got lucky and found one in a shop about 2 1/2 hours from where I live here in Vermont. I was so jazzed and then I picked it up and I hated it. I always try any guitar out by strumming unplugged just to hear it. The neck and fretwork were just bad, sounded dead. I was sooooo disappointed. So for the next 3 hours I tried every Tele style guitar in the place, big place by the way so there was a lot to try. I tried everything but the Fender Professional 2, because nobody really had anything good to say about them and while you make everything sound good overall no one seemed a fan. My wife God bless her refused to let me live without trying one. I tried three. First was a rosewood finger board blue dark night color and was ok. Not great but not as bad as everyone said. The second was a sunburst with maple fretboard. When I picked it up my wife perked up because she said my face changed. All I remember saying was oooh. Then I hit and open G chord and oh my word, church bells and angels sing, it just rang out clear and chimey. Plugged it into a deluxe reverb because that is my go to amp at home and l was stunned. I tried a third just to see but it sounded nothing like the burst. Two of the guys in the shop came in and tried it and just shook their heads. The setup guy even came over to take a look but as he said, sometimes a perfect body gets paired with a perfect neck and magic is born. I walked out with that burst guitar and I haven’t been able to put it down. I agree with what people say that the vmod 2 pickups aren’t the best ever, they are good enough for me right now. I am normally a Strat guy, have a couple and have a Les Paul I love but there is something about this tele that I wish I had jumped on the tele train a while ago. So thank you much for the amazing content and the inspiration and keep those jam tracks coming, they are great fun!!!
No words for this. Pure magic. Pete is channeling Eric Johnson....perhaps with his playing on this one? Love it....and he has his own wonderful vibe....sans Eric Johnson.
People who joke saying "why dont you get a relic'ed car" i guess they've never gone to a car show. Relic cars are a "thing" as well. Especially rat rods!
Repetition legitimatizes? I mean it’s a nice story and all but as a guitar it’s just a tele that’s purple 🤷♂️ Props for releasing that squire version that was cool of you 🤟💯
Same thing with all gear. People convince themselves someone else’s gear has something their gear doesn’t. The tele sounds good because of the interaction between the strings and Pete. Your mileage will vary.
16:14 I tried to use the dark arts to bring my dog back after she got hit by a jeep. She came back slightly different too.... I'm still cleaning up the neighborhood.
Well, everything Pete plays sounds great...I could hand Pete a guitar that I think is rubbish because I can't get a decent drop D riff out of it...and he would casually and effortlessly knock Papa Roachs' "Last Resort" out of the park 😎...that's just Pete.
I started playing guitar around 5 months ago, and had my heart set on a purple Schecter for my first electric. My friend who inspired me to pick up the guitar in the first place told me no - don’t spend so much on your first guitar, so together we looked at what was available. Purple and orange have always been my colours, so I knew the guitar had to be purple, that was my only requirement. We found the purple 60’s vibes squires you guys had, and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love. Since getting it, I’ve had the pickguard swapped out for a psychadelic purple/orange custom one, and even though it’s my first guitar, I hear what you’re saying about having a guitar that you connect with. It feels like it could only be my guitar, and because of that I’m inspired every day to pick it up and play it. So, thankyou, Pete, for being the reason why I have my perfect purple guitar - even though I have notoriously bad GAS, I haven’t had any inclination to get anything else, how can you improve on perfection?
The classic vibes are such good guitars, with a few mods they can last you a lifetime. I've got both the 50s tele and strat, bought them a few years back and still love them both
Pete, you and the rest of the Andertons crew inspired me to pickup the guitar after 10 years of being away from it. The limited runs are great and I’m happy to say I’ve purchased a few over the years. Thank you for all the great content. You guys are an inspiration to so many of us across the world.
Man, that‘s a lovely story. If your entourage is that nice to you, cares about you and gets you your absolute dream guitar BEHIND your back, then you are truly a lovely human being to be around, Pete! So glad you are part of the Anderton‘s team. You add so much to the videos and I‘m sure also behind the scenes.
I have the purple mischief maker from Andertons, and it's by faaar my favorite guitar to play. I've had it for a little over a year now. Came perfect out of the box, in tune and everything. Set up, intonation were perfect for my liking.
Hey Pete! I am in Canada and one of our main music stores is Long and McQuade and they currently sell a Squier Classic Vibe FSR Purple telecaster that looks just like the O.G. tele minus all of the relicing. Your guitar is a Global Phenomenon! be proud but also, one of your fellow countrymen has had a purple drum kit for a long time as well. Ever hear of Lars Ulrich from a little band called Metallica?..lol.maybe it's a Danish thing but purple is a badass color!
I’m very fortunate to own one of the custom shop copies of Pete’s Telecaster, and it’s easily my favourite guitar. It plays and sounds fantastic. I can only dream of playing as well as Pete, but I have a guitar that’s a pleasure to play every day, and inspires me to keep improving. Thanks Andersons for making this wonderful unique spec available!
For all the lefties out there I would like to offer a sincere thank you. We are typically forgotten by many guitar makers as unimportant when all they need to do is make limited runs like you are doing. Once again, thanks to Danish Pete for thinking of us
It really does happen. I had been pining after a PRS S2 Vela for years but couldn't afford it. As soon as I could, I bought one sight unseen from Sweetwater. It is hands down my favorite guitar I've ever owned or played. Out of the box it was perfect. It had only been built a few weeks before shipping to me. Its just a very musical, great sounding guitar.
Something I appreciate about Andertons videos and the purple tele is how genuinely you seem to like it, I watched a few videos where a guest comes over and you guys go "no wait, you gotta try this thing"
I absolutely love that Andertons made these guitars accessible for everyone, instead of just saying you can only have an expensive custom shop or nothing. The wonderful people of Andertons are true musicians.
it's also a good business decision! there are always more buyers at lower price points.
@@tusharjamwal definitely!!! I can't afford a custom shop, but I can definitely afford a bullet or a classic vibe.
It is the blending of the sound of a red tele with that of a blue tele that gives his purple tele it's unique sound.
Thanks for sharing this Pete. I ordered a purple Squire Tele from Anderton's and had your signature pickups put in. You and Lee were kind enough to sign the headstock for me. I really enjoy playing it and thank you for inspiring me and helping me learn. Peace.
Went cheap and overseas very recently and picked up a lefty purple Danish Pete CV50 from Andertons....had to replace the first fret (too low)....but with brass saddles and Lollar Special T's....what a beautiful beast in tone and looks.
There's a very special relationship between a player and a truly fine instrument.
Pete, you’ve got a great boss and he hit an absolute home run adding you to the team!
Pete. Just picked up a 95 telecaster totally based on the neck. No serial backup, but f*ck it. It feels brilliant
I've got a midnight blue (purple-ish) telecaster with a sparkle in the finish. It's AMAZING!
I have my favourite guitarists like Frusciante and JM. But Pete, you inspire me to pick up the guitar more than anyone! Love this video and you really were meant to have this guitar, it's a brilliant story. Love you Pete, Andertons videos are 100 times better with you on board the team and we are blessed to see you play/test all these guitars and gear. Thank you so much for being amazing and inspiring me and so many others to play and try be the best player I can be. And for all the little tips you give us all along the way.
Thanks man!
So great to bond so tightly with a guitar. And when the “right” tele is in your hands, it’s over. You become a tele guy.
Mate that's so true, lve had (& still have) LPs, Dots, a Gretsch... I was in a shop 3yrs back & picked up a maple necked Tele, never played one in my life & bang!! I'm hooked!
My guitar is the LTD EC-2005. That neck is just perfect for me!
It truly has something special with a special musician no doubt
It's one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen. Probably the best telecaster I've ever seen.
My Dad was lucky enough to play on Pete's purple tele. Anderton's knew him well, RIP JS
This has always been my favorite TH-cam guitar. I’m like pet in that I always prefer more colorful guitars, the blacks and white or sunburst guitars never speak to to me
I have a pelham blue nashville telecaster and i love it! this purple telecaster is amazing and thanks for sharing the story behind it!
It's so nice to own a guitar that just 'speaks to you. I have a black Les Paul that is just so perfect to my ear and feels so perfect in the hand, that I could never part with it.
In a room FULL of guitars, a purple 50's road worn tele SCREAMED at me...I knew that split second that we would be together...it has a single ply parchment pickguard that is slightly warped...it is MAGICAL!!! I have at least 23 other guitars, this one would be one of the last to go...

Nice flex on the Mayer G-Shock.

That's likely why the pickups sound very unique in that particular guitar.
I cannot get the image of Danish Pete and Tim Pearce in a hot tub out of my head. Stellar content btw👍👍👍
Specs are quite similar to Baja Tele. Baja have Broadcaster in bridge possition and S1 switching. Twisted Tele neck pickup is the same.
This is the first time I’ve heard a valid argument in favor of relic’ing. I have a high end Strat and a Tele that I’m careful with and a beautiful Squier Tele that was much less expensive and I play the Squier all the time. I will reconsider my avoidance of relics in the future. Thanks Pete!
That’s a guitar story worth of a book! The Purple Tele - Mysterious Whereabouts! Cheers!
Purple has been my favorite color for a long time. Your tele made me want a purple tele. I do have a purple Extura from Epiphone though
Soooooo, what your saying is, You want much like as in a Hollywood Film, there's the Leading Actor and the STUNT DOUBLE.

That is such a cool story and such a cool guitar
If you had all three of them, you could have one at Andertons, one at your house in Dane Land, and one at your house in sunny Englandshire. Win/Win/Win
yeah man I had a great experience getting my axe and dope axe. candy apple yes.
legendary guitar. love the story.

Amazing story for an amazing guitar. This should be a regular thing: Story Time With Danish Pete.
I love a good guitar story and that one made me tear up a bit.
Two best Tele's... Pete's Purple Tele and Dan's (That Pedal Show) Red.... or is it the players and not the Tele's? Maybe a little of both. Killer Killer Killer tones!
Hallo Mister Honoré. Jup your guitar is as famous as Trigger :) enjoying your reviews sir, greatings from Vlaanderen Gent! Good MoJo.
I love your playing. It’s inspiring.
Looking forward to your Fender gold foil review!
the fact that Leo got it right the first time will never become a cliche !!
Hi Pete, where can I find exactly the same pickups on this tele? love the neck sound!
I had one of the purple MiM road worn Teles in 2019 that allegedly were spec'ed by Sweetwater or Guitarcenter. But I sold it, because the purple wasn't quite right and had a different sort of hue than Pete's.

So cool man, as always pleasure to listen to this story and your playing. Looking great..... still booze free??? How long for now??
Yeah..... Hello from Thailand..
My local Guitar Center had a purple road worn that hung on the wall for months. It was perfect, but I couldn’t swing that price. That neck felt 30 years old (and my strat is 30 years old so I know.

I have to thank you Pete and also Dan Steinhardt for absolutely forcing me to finally give in and try a tele.

Hi ! Pete l’m Curious What kind of Strings and the Gauge you put on Your Telecaster ?
Pete all tanned up in his stone wash jeans looking California but feeling Minnesota playing a purple Tele into a purple Soldano (assuming).
I know a LOT of big names have played your Custom Shop but who has been your own favourite player to have had their hands on the Tele?
Pete. It’s time to release an album. That jam is awesome. You should make it into a proper tune.
Fender needs to make a Danish Pete signature guitar.
Heard this story alot.
No words for this. Pure magic. Pete is channeling Eric Johnson....perhaps with his playing on this one? Love it....and he has his own wonderful vibe....sans Eric Johnson.
To be completely honest, Danish Pete is almost equal to Prince in my mental association with the color purple.
It looks like a old early 90 telecaster
People who joke saying "why dont you get a relic'ed car" i guess they've never gone to a car show. Relic cars are a "thing" as well. Especially rat rods!
Can we have a showdown between Pete's tele vs. Kris Baroci's tele?
Great story! 👍
Can i buy one of these purple telecasters in the USA? Please comment if you know how
MJT guitar with Lindy Fralin's equals custom shop for $1000
Pete, you're a lucky baazted for finding your Unicorn....
Does Pete make music? I hope so... Someone tell me his Spotify/SoundCloud or what ever if he does please :)
Repetition legitimatizes? I mean it’s a nice story and all but as a guitar it’s just a tele that’s purple 🤷♂️ Props for releasing that squire version that was cool of you 🤟💯
Does it have a U shape neck or Large C?
We get to see your car next? lol
So Pete...What other tele models have the same neck as yours or what has the closest?
Same thing with all gear. People convince themselves someone else’s gear has something their gear doesn’t. The tele sounds good because of the interaction between the strings and Pete. Your mileage will vary.
I'm convinced Fender sprinkles crack in the purple finish.
Hahaha!
16:14 I tried to use the dark arts to bring my dog back after she got hit by a jeep. She came back slightly different too.... I'm still cleaning up the neighborhood.
sooo how did he get it back? did the guy who bought it return it?
I'll say Pete's purple tele sounds great because Pete loves playing it.
Well, everything Pete plays sounds great...I could hand Pete a guitar that I think is rubbish because I can't get a decent drop D riff out of it...and he would casually and effortlessly knock Papa Roachs' "Last Resort" out of the park 😎...that's just Pete.
:')
purple is the best sounding color
Undisputed fact.
But red makes you play faster!
I started playing guitar around 5 months ago, and had my heart set on a purple Schecter for my first electric. My friend who inspired me to pick up the guitar in the first place told me no - don’t spend so much on your first guitar, so together we looked at what was available. Purple and orange have always been my colours, so I knew the guitar had to be purple, that was my only requirement. We found the purple 60’s vibes squires you guys had, and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love. Since getting it, I’ve had the pickguard swapped out for a psychadelic purple/orange custom one, and even though it’s my first guitar, I hear what you’re saying about having a guitar that you connect with. It feels like it could only be my guitar, and because of that I’m inspired every day to pick it up and play it. So, thankyou, Pete, for being the reason why I have my perfect purple guitar - even though I have notoriously bad GAS, I haven’t had any inclination to get anything else, how can you improve on perfection?
love to hear that. this sounds like the guitar you're gonna keep your whole life
You think that's a good guitar, wait till you been playing for 20 years, the world is endless. Ibanez Prestige is my go to.
Welcome to the Phoenix Suns color code!
The classic vibes are such good guitars, with a few mods they can last you a lifetime. I've got both the 50s tele and strat, bought them a few years back and still love them both
I had a purple Schecter but the doctor gave me some pills, and I stopped wiping so rough and it cleared up
Moral of the story - if you love something and want to buy it, don’t advertise the thing. Keep it a secret!
Pete, you and the rest of the Andertons crew inspired me to pickup the guitar after 10 years of being away from it. The limited runs are great and I’m happy to say I’ve purchased a few over the years. Thank you for all the great content. You guys are an inspiration to so many of us across the world.
Man, that‘s a lovely story. If your entourage is that nice to you, cares about you and gets you your absolute dream guitar BEHIND your back, then you are truly a lovely human being to be around, Pete! So glad you are part of the Anderton‘s team. You add so much to the videos and I‘m sure also behind the scenes.
I have the purple mischief maker from Andertons, and it's by faaar my favorite guitar to play. I've had it for a little over a year now. Came perfect out of the box, in tune and everything. Set up, intonation were perfect for my liking.
Hey Pete! I am in Canada and one of our main music stores is Long and McQuade and they currently sell a Squier Classic Vibe FSR Purple telecaster that looks just like the O.G. tele minus all of the relicing. Your guitar is a Global Phenomenon! be proud but also, one of your fellow countrymen has had a purple drum kit for a long time as well. Ever hear of Lars Ulrich from a little band called Metallica?..lol.maybe it's a Danish thing but purple is a badass color!
Joe Bonamassa once said "When you find the right Telecaster, you can rule the world". You've definitely found that one Telecaster.
I’m very fortunate to own one of the custom shop copies of Pete’s Telecaster, and it’s easily my favourite guitar. It plays and sounds fantastic. I can only dream of playing as well as Pete, but I have a guitar that’s a pleasure to play every day, and inspires me to keep improving. Thanks Andersons for making this wonderful unique spec available!
For all the lefties out there I would like to offer a sincere thank you. We are typically forgotten by many guitar makers as unimportant when all they need to do is make limited runs like you are doing. Once again, thanks to Danish Pete for thinking of us
“The guitar chooses the player.”
As time goes on, I believe this more and more.
It really does happen. I had been pining after a PRS S2 Vela for years but couldn't afford it. As soon as I could, I bought one sight unseen from Sweetwater.
It is hands down my favorite guitar I've ever owned or played. Out of the box it was perfect. It had only been built a few weeks before shipping to me. Its just a very musical, great sounding guitar.
As the marketing man says. That's how I turn a blind eye to my GAS.
I’ve heard the story but had to watch again. This story is just pure joy and happiness. Your wife, kids (and Lee) are all amazing. Cheers Pete.
Something I appreciate about Andertons videos and the purple tele is how genuinely you seem to like it, I watched a few videos where a guest comes over and you guys go "no wait, you gotta try this thing"
