Leo Fender was thinking and thinking and thinking about guitars then he talked to Les Paul and made the decision to produce the greatest guitar ever made because Leo was a friend and he listened to smart people and other smart people helped Leo Fender get it perfect first time and that’s not easy that’s as tough as it gets but Leo Fender was a great guy!
Landon I build pasts-casters and my first one was a nitros cellulose JACK DANIELS OLD #7 black label finish its solid pine and the one piece maple neck is no brand with chrome tuner machines and a Texas Broadcaster electronics package with everything prewired and ready to drop in with the Fender pickups and Wilkerson nickel plated chrome bridge and brass saddles. The Fender 2017 Mexico player series was originally used in the guitar but I had to upgrade to the TEXAS BROADCASTER ELECTRONICS VERSION exactly like Leo Fender made in 1950 except my pick guard is white not black and my finish is custom not butterscotch.
My second Telecaster was a Squire 2019 Bullet body with the Squire classic vibe neck. Sweet look the roasted maple neck and abalone dots and the Squire Bullet series body . $125 new
Best guitars period. Tone to the bone. All configurations are tops in their particular voicing. They happen to play the best too. If I get sent to Mars as a sentence for being boring, I'll take one of my teles......
The roasted maple neck partcaster sounds awesome! Just bought a baja tele that I've been drooling over for months. It also has the twisted tele neck pup but a broadcaster bridge pup. Can't wait for it to arrive!
I' m a tellyman as well. But with so many tellies I couldn' t decide which guitar I play today. So I own just two, one with maple and one with rosewood board. And I have a Gibson Les Paul jr. I found out that a real good tele bridge pickup sounds almost the same as a P90 bridge pu. Not so much power of cause, but very simular. Greetings from germany to all tele Fans.
Cool. I have a butterscotch Player Tele with these “Plus-Deluxe” upgrades by me - Vintage Fender bridge and tuners, Wilkinson's compensated saddles, Mojotone ’52 Quiet Coil pickups, Lucky Dog gnarly knobs, angled-switch cover-plate, and a three string tree to stop the g-string ring behind the nut. It's a great guitar. I love the satin back/glossy top maple neck. For me it just blows away anything else under a grand. And I prefer it to the American series which I can afford to buy if I wanted to.
Read a lot of positive things about th harley benton te-52 vintage. Only thing missing (as most all reviews) is a picture of neck profile vs other teles. This is just a vital thing, I find.
After watching several of your videos I just bought a that very same Player Series. I went back and forth between that one and the Squier Classic Vibe 50 but pulled the trigger this morning. I'll probably get that Squier in white someday too, though! ;)
I love the tidepool color... I was always planning to have a lake placid blue strat, and then was shocked that the mims didn't have it... And at first I didn't like tidepool as much because it wasn't lake placid blue, but I think I've come to prefer tidepool... And that's what I'm getting in a couple weeks.
with your no.2 guitar, rout out behind the scratch plate to lighten it up, turn it into a smuggler guitar! easy, you can go pretty deep and take out quite a bit without changing the looks!
Thanks Landon! LOVED this video. Also loved every one for various reasons. The butterscotch blonde is the most pleasing to me visually and because of what it stands for. Now, how's about a little discussion on your straps and that tuner? Come to love your channel now and you got me so further hooked on teles. I now have 2 thanks to you and more on the way. Your guitar room is spotless my friend. Thanks again. You're a pure joy to watch.
I have the same tide pool blue Telecaster but stock neck. I love it and have had it for about 1.5 years now. I changed the pick guard to black and hipshot locking tuners. I agree it is no better than stock for tuning stability. The 2 Mexican teles I have owned were phenomenal guitars for the money and hardly need to be tuned.
player tele tone is still my fave and then the ultra followed by squier affinity. the twisted pickup sounds dirty tho, prolly gonna look into that in the future. the 10lbs guitar sounded like a les paul 😮
From Leo: Nice collection. Something honest and utilitarian about a Telecaster. They are a great foundation for many different pickup configurations. I have most configurations. I am lacking a Tele with a DanElectro lipstick tube. As much as I like the lipstick tubes in my surf Strat, I may be calling Seymour Duncan for another SLS-1 pickup, as I have two regular telecasters. The 4 way switch conversion is mandatory in my book. Thanks for the entertainment and tips over the year. I hope 2020 works out well for you.
Hey Lando. Cool Teles. I myself have 5 Teles which I also have constructed from a choice of my favorite styles of parts. My first build was a rock audio body - beautiful single bound transparent red mahogany quilt top. That build cost about $675 US. Totally blowing away the $2000 ish cost of getting not exactly what I want from the mod shop. I stick with fender parts, I use only the original tele pickups on my builds. Due to the use of different body woods and styles and bridge types each guitar shares some similarities in tone but have their own distinct sound. I don’t mind soldering so I buy my control plates from 920D custom shop. Top quality parts , even orange drop capacitors and cloth wire. My most recent project was a fully loaded American original tele body that I just bolted an American performer neck to. Awesome axe. And about $1000 cheaper than buying it new . I found a used red plush g&g tweed case at a local music store for $100 for it . Practically mint . Anyway, cool video.
Love your videos and all the Telecasters, just bought the MiM player’s Butterscotch one, and own a USA tobacco burst . And also subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
I think there's more cheap bridges, often with brass, you don't have worry about cheap trems, the electronics are separate from the pickguard, and it's easy to get all kinds of pick-ups, and two pickups are just easier to deal with. 43 gauge wire makes interesting neck pickup. The only draw back is there is no arm cut - although there are some that do.
Jimmy Page played a Telecaster for the solo on Stairway to Heaven. I have a 1962 reinsure Tele Candy Apple Red. Only modification I made over the past 35 years is i replaced the ashtray plate with a chrome L shaped plate (the ashtray edge kept cutting into my hand as well as I needed 6 individual adjustments for intonation setting rather than the 3 on the original ashtray plate) Tele guitars are wonderful instruments. Pretty much cover any style of guitar playing and reliable on stage or in studio. Workhorse musical instrument.
#1 Tele is very cool love the all black look; #2 The double bound candy apple red is totally awesome; #3 looks like Vince Gill's Tele when it was new; #4_ is possibly your best one, beautiful body; #5_has a tuning issue bc it may you may need to get a bone nut and file it for the correct the depth, and it may need a complete set up ( install a Ultra Series bridge with chromed brass saddles) . and lastly #6 I watched your build video on it and that is a very good guitar. Also, I use the same tuner (TC Electronics) on my guitars
As a lifelong Gibson player , I always loved the playability of the Tele neck but found the tone a little thin and shrill . I always had one for funk etc but it was never my first choice.with a few tweaks to the dsl was amazed at the hard rock tones it produced......
Always enjoy your videos! Check the nuts on the locking tuners on tele #5. They should not be tight enough to split the wood, but very firm. This may possibly help your guitar stay in tune. Merry Christmas!
In my opinion you're correct. I recently changed the regular tuner on my american standard strat with the original fender locking tuner (the same model that I see in this video with the fender logo printed in the back ) and I didn't notice sensible improvement in the tuning stability but just saving time for the strings changing
@@landonbailey Foo Fighters & Big Wreck, that's my groove. I think I've seen Big Wreck about 15-20 times live. I got the thinline in 2009 from a friend of mine.
Dude from my old stomping grounds....I have locking tuners in 8 of my 10 guitars and the only advantage is that it's easier to swap strings, they do not in any way shape or form hold tuning better. Mike ....that used 2 B from MTL....Now I live in a nicer city AAAAAHHHH
Am I the only who prefers the neck pick up over the bridge pickup on a tele? The bridge to me can sound great but can sound like a jar full of bees real easy too, lol. In all honesty though I play through the neck 90% of the time on any guitar though. Only time I use a bridge pup is on the rare night im playing something high gain. Im a strat guy mainly though but i do pick up my tele on occasion for that neck pup.
a very nice collection,but think you need to pay more attention to your amplification,to get more variety of tone.i myself have about 8 tele's, but my favorite is my custom with lace sensors,such variety of tones.
Love the quick synopsis on all the builds and what went right and wrong. Down the road I plan to get an ugly pig and try to slap some lipstick on it, not because I think I'll do a good job but rather as a means to learning more about the guitar.
@@landonbailey i know resale value doesnt quite hold up to a genuine fender for the parts casters but how about playability. A dude here in Ns is selling a all warmouth strat with tex mex pickups that is factory relic for 600. Its a beauty but Im uneducated about its true worth.
@@landonbailey SX SSS Tele 😪 I waited 3-1/2 yrs for a lefty. The righty they've only had twice in that time. They sell out faster than any electric I know 😳
I find the locking tuners stay in tune better on a strat when using the tremolo. When you push down on the trem on non locking tuners the winds all slacken slightly and unslacken when you go back to pitch. The problem is there's a bit of binding within the winds and it won't always completely go back to where it was. The locking tuners fix this as long as you don't do any winds on the post. For non trem guitars it really doesn't help with tuning.
If you haven't learned how to change strings on standard tuners then the locking ones would be easier I guess. I wouldn't say no to them but I barely consider them an upgrade personally.
I don't get people asking that "why do you need more than one guitar" question... they all sound very different. I love Tele's but the Strat has the sound I really love.
@@landonbailey you putted new pickups in your mim Tele. But in my opinion it’s perfect from the box. Only the pickup hight was too deep for me. It sounded weak. So my brother has put it higher. And now it’s the best Tele sound I’ve ever heard.
Man they are all awesome the black and gold with lace sensors and kill switch is really cool. Right on for some radiohead jams.I just got a american pro. I also have a mim player strat with some sd antiquities and a les paul traditional. I would love one more tele with humbuckers but I have the LP and I got to stop for a bit. After listening to them all I truly believe the am pro deluxe shawbuckers sounded just a lil better then the others but only by a fraction but I liked the tone alot in that one
I love Teles too! I have 4. Do you have any rosewood fingerboards by now? I kinda like maple better but real rosewood is so beautiful if you can find it. About the tuners, I have had two fenders with locking tuners and I never had any stability issues. I didn’t do any wraps. So in my experience they are worth it not just for easier re-stringing. Great video! I think the one with shawbuckers sounded best.
hey there! You'll have to watch videos from 2021 to get all caught up. that collection has changed extensively :) Agree with locking tuners, easier stringing
I have a Fender Redline Noir Telecaster...I'm wondering if you've had a chance to try one out? I love that Black on Black Tele with the gold features ( the first one in your collection)!!
Landon Bailey*** Gerard Stroh In Ca.** I Own A Origeial Fender 1973 Telecaster Guitar With A Rosewood Fingerboard And Has the 3 Saddle Ashtray Bridge And It Has The F Plate That Has The Large F On The Plate And he Fingerboard Is A Thin Piece Of Rosewood Finger Board*** My Mom Got It For $250 in 1978 At A Local Music Store And I Still Have That Guitar And On The Use Market It's Going For $6000****** And This guitar Still Plays Good And My Mom Got It For Me In High School**** I Cherrish That Fender Telecaster Guitar And I am 59 Years And Going To Be 60 Years Old Soon So Thats My Fender Story****
Hey I just finished going through the whole thing, great video! Thanks for sharing. I really liked the dirty sounds of the maple roasted partscaster. The pickups are both twisted tele right? Now that you’ve been with that guitar for a while, what do you think of those pickups? My general feeling about those from what I’ve seen in video demos online is that the neck pickup is very nice for lead tones (not sure about warm/jazzy type tones) and that the bridge pickup is ok, not not as great as other sets, do you feel the same?
Hi Landon, Nice Telecasters Man! I think after listening to them all I prefer the sound of your Player Series. I got a beautiful 2006 Made in Japan Telecaster Sunburst double bound, 72 reissue with fender bigsby, from my wife as an engagement present, it has the look you don't Like with the braces and headgear, LOL. But I love it, If you want to see it take a look at my MV50 video I pull it out there. Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection, I love your videos, keep up the good work ! ;)
Sorry I just noticed I made a mistake it’s a 62 re-issue! Thanks for answering. If you have any tips for a newbie like me on making TH-cam videos I would appreciate it, thanks and happy new year! 🤙
Best 2 out of 3 rocks,paper scissors for the roasted maple partscaster?love that one,definitely my favorite as far as looks and tone.would love that in my collection.definitely a tele guy myself.
@@landonbailey i have a stock,sought after squire 51' in butterscotch. ready for some heavy modding.supposedly people love them for mods.i play the dang thing stock and enjoy it.
Love your Telecaster collection, especially the blue one with the Fire roasted neck. I have heard that a Firebird Neck pickup or Mini Humbucker can take the standard tele pickup configuration to the next level. Have you tried that yet ? Apparently it gives you tonality that is between a single coil and Full Humbucker.

@@Klaus312 hey that actually makes sense
nah its just you
You mean what they originally came with
I'm a Strat guy but now I see I need a Tele, hope my wife sees it too
Good luck! :)
No one can blame you for loving Teles, they are the best guitars (imho). You can never have too many.
🎸👍😊
I agree, they are beautifully simple and simply beautiful :)
Always love to watch ppl's guitar collections. Especially Telecaster collections.
Best guitars period. Tone to the bone. All configurations are tops in their particular voicing. They happen to play the best too. If I get sent to Mars as a sentence for being boring, I'll take one of my teles......
That black and gold Tele is so beautiful
thanks!
The roasted maple neck partcaster sounds awesome! Just bought a baja tele that I've been drooling over for months. It also has the twisted tele neck pup but a broadcaster bridge pup. Can't wait for it to arrive!
I' m a tellyman as well.
But with so many tellies I couldn' t decide which guitar I play today.
So I own just two, one with maple and one with rosewood board.
And I have a Gibson Les Paul jr.
I found out that a real good tele bridge pickup sounds almost the same as a P90 bridge pu.
Not so much power of cause, but very simular.

I have an all white American telecaster. It's so simple it reminds me of an old white appliance.

About the tuners, I have had two fenders with locking tuners and I never had any stability issues. I didn’t do any wraps. So in my experience they are worth it not just for easier re-stringing.
Great video! I think the one with shawbuckers sounded best.
hey there! You'll have to watch videos from 2021 to get all caught up. that collection has changed extensively :) Agree with locking tuners, easier stringing
I have a Fender Redline Noir Telecaster...I'm wondering if you've had a chance to try one out? I love that Black on Black Tele with the gold features ( the first one in your collection)!!
I had to google it. very nice! looks like a limited editing or something
It’s funny, lots of people would skip all these (lower priced) guitars and spend the money on one fantastic Custom Shop Tele. I surely would.
I would the majority does not get Custom Shop models. Out of reach.

my dream guitar is the butterscotch player series
With medium jumbo frets, and 9.5 in radius you can definitely tell whether is glossy or non-glossy fretboards.
👍🎸
Hey I just finished going through the whole thing, great video! Thanks for sharing. I really liked the dirty sounds of the maple roasted partscaster. The pickups are both twisted tele right? Now that you’ve been with that guitar for a while, what do you think of those pickups? My general feeling about those from what I’ve seen in video demos online is that the neck pickup is very nice for lead tones (not sure about warm/jazzy type tones) and that the bridge pickup is ok, not not as great as other sets, do you feel the same?
Hi Landon, Nice Telecasters Man! I think after listening to them all I prefer the sound of your Player Series. I got a beautiful 2006 Made in Japan Telecaster Sunburst double bound, 72 reissue with fender bigsby, from my wife as an engagement present, it has the look you don't Like with the braces and headgear, LOL. But I love it, If you want to see it take a look at my MV50 video I pull it out there. Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection, I love your videos, keep up the good work ! ;)
Ah cool! I’ll check out that video
Sorry I just noticed I made a mistake it’s a 62 re-issue! Thanks for answering. If you have any tips for a newbie like me on making TH-cam videos I would appreciate it, thanks and happy new year! 🤙
Knowing what you know now...what would be the best tele to get? The best bang for the buck.
Player series or Squier Cv 50
@@landonbailey i've even heard some people say the player isn't as good as the CV. what is your opinion on the player vs CV?
I prefer the Player neck: studio.th-cam.com/users/videoQH1J-5reHco/comments
@@landonbailey that link doesn't work
Oh man it's tele heaven at Landon's room within a room 😉
Best 2 out of 3 rocks,paper scissors for the roasted maple partscaster?love that one,definitely my favorite as far as looks and tone.would love that in my collection.definitely a tele guy myself.
👍🎸😁
@@landonbailey i have a stock,sought after squire 51' in butterscotch. ready for some heavy modding.supposedly people love them for mods.i play the dang thing stock and enjoy it.
Good job...and it's about time you did a tuning video...just kidding of course! 😆😎🎸🐦
😁🤣
Cool demo vid! yeah.
thanks!
@@landonbailey Dudester we wanna see some more vids of you jamming , baby!
From fans and jammers MTW and 99 in L.A.

Love your Telecaster collection, especially the blue one with the Fire roasted neck. I have heard that a Firebird Neck pickup or Mini Humbucker can take the standard tele pickup configuration to the next level. Have you tried that yet ? Apparently it gives you tonality that is between a single coil and Full Humbucker.
hey thanks! I've never tried that config
@@landonbailey check out the clip here th-cam.com/video/qs9f_JncNrc/w-d-xo.html
ALLLL THE TELECASTERSSSS!!!!
Love #6!! Sounds amazing!
nice collection!
Awesome, thank you Lando
🎸😁👍
Yes, but how do the string breaks sound? The only way to tell if you have a good guitar is if the string break has a nice tone.
Nice guitars Landon, my next one will be a tele... have you ever tried Tone Emporium tele pickups? They are based out of Ottawa and have good prices.
hey nice! haven't tried the pickups but I bought some parts th-cam.com/video/7tj0eHXzRSo/w-d-xo.html
Hi. What makes that 2nd tele so heavy? Thanks. Nice work on all ur vids.
damp swamp ash is my guess
Do any telecasters come rwrp for hum cancelling middle position? Want to buy one but don’t want to ruin the pickups trying to rwrp it myself..
I don't know, I've never researched that spec
babies got the bends
I'm more into Rosewood fretboards but loved the 06 one :)
maybe rosewood will be on my next one! :)
I want to get a capri orange player Tele
The only tele I like the look of is a thin line. You should get one of those! :P
what about the red model I have? it's modelled after that
I can't stop thinking about Lando Calrissian, from Star Wars... 🤪💕
he used to make appearances in my older videos
@@landonbailey I have had the same thought and was like " Why am I imagining star wars when watching this channel ? " 😆
Awesome video!
Thanks for the visit. here's a more recent video th-cam.com/video/dKWEGlfYjZM/w-d-xo.html
Amazing collection!
Thank you!
Build quality and long term usage wise which one is better in your opinion.
Squier cv 50s tele or 70s tele or 70s thinline tele
haven't tried the 70s thinline. But between the 50s and 70s CV, the 50s was a better build
I like the sound of #2 and 6. Where did you buy your gold hardware set for #1? 🥰
probably eBay/amazon. It was a while back
A six saddle tele is like a car with 8 wheels. You only need half!😅
Wrapping the string around the peg on locking tuners will provide the least amount of torque pulling the string out of tune.
did someone do that?
Hi Landon,have you tried new classic vibe tele made in Indonesia?..do you think it's a good One? Help me to decide😭
haven't tried the Tele. I have the 50s Classic Vibe Strat and it's great. search for the full video on my channel
can you recommend pickups for a similar sound to jonny greenwood? excluding lace sensors because they are not available here. thank you!
i really can't. where is here? try reverb/ebay
@@landonbailey southeast asia :D Thank you!
The black one sounds best.
6 and 2 sounds the best imo
Teles rock! Resistance is futile human!
Interesting that they all have the 6 saddles. Are the 3 barrels not up your street?
I have a brass 3 saddle Wilkinson in a drawer. It used to be on a blonde Tele that I had. I prefer the ease of the 6 separate saddles for intonation
Good to know that any sound difference doesn't swing you. Still, it's a future excuse for guitar number 7! :)
@@landonbailey Agree, the barrel bridge wins for style points but not for intonation
