Bought this guitar back in 2020. It changed my life. I now play music everyday because of my tele. She's beautiful and the tone just inspires me to play and write music. 2.5 years later I'm still amazed that I even watch videos on it still. Best purchase of my life 🎸

I hear ya. I bought mine in 2021 so I’ve had it 2 years now and I still think about playing it when I’m not. I really like the Yosemite pickups and the necks on these are excellent imo. I put an ObsidianWire custom 4-way tele switch in mine and I like it even more. A beautiful guitar indeed and it plays beautifully as well. ✌🏻

@rayschoch5882 3 года назад

I had my tech put a Freeway on my Squier Affinity - a little bit of routing was needed, and I don't have a Dremel. Great sound and versatility, and since the guitar itself was inexpensive, I'm getting really good tone for not a lot of money.

@ipuya 3 года назад

I got the freeway for my Strat because of your video and I absolutely LOVE it!!!! I would get this too for my tele except i have the baja which already has these options on it. But if ever i got a second tele this mod would be a no brainer. Thanks Darrell!

Darrell you are my favorite guitar player, tech, guru on RU-vid. I bought this freeway switch bc of this video. Finally got around to putting it in tonight. While doing so I found out my tele 60 classic vibe, which I also bought bc of this channel, had fender custom shop pick ups in it... no wonder it sounded so good! I ended up pulling those and putting in a custom set of pick ups built by Sonny’s Custom Shop out of Plano, TX. Bc of your channel, I have built up my tele cv to be what I believe is the ultimate tele! Thank you so much for helping to teach me to be a better player and give me confidence to build this guitar up! Now on to my next project!

@Orville123 3 года назад

Very good. A lot of the old school country music players flipped the whole unit to keep from hitting the selector switch while strumming and have access to volume control as it was switched to the front as well to create boost or tremelo.

@Riverdeepnwide 3 года назад

Dis, it is a fun mod for some players. Over the years different production runs have had variations in the cavity routing so to anyone trying it, measure and check the routing depth and shapes of either end of the cavity before going too far. I got a great deal on a really nice FSR Tele with the reversed plate mod on it but eventually found the mod uncomfortablea for me. Changing it back to the standard configuration required some routing and lengthening one wire.

Hello Darrell ! Best wishes for 2021 !

Ingenious. The series combinations are really good alternatives. The out of phase series combination makes me think of Peter Green---OK I know he played a Les Paul but this is definitely in the same aural ballpark. And Free-Way switches are Made In England--we don't make much of anything any more, so this is great. Quality assured!

Put the 5-way in my G&L ASAT Classic S and it's amazing. All 5 additional tones are very useful. I don't like the new, out of phase, tones in this configuration. In addition, I think it would have been better if they'd have put the both pickups in series choice in the middle position; it seems more logical to me. Great review!

After your Strat Freeway video, I immediately placed an order with StewMac. That previously out-of-reach bridge/neck combo was the selling point for me. After the new positions 1 & 2 of this video, I was prepared to write this one off. After all, I'm never going to want my tele to sound like a battery-powered transistor radio from 1973!

Keep in mind one of the big reasons why the Performer series is at it's price point is because it comes with a gig bag instead of the $200 hard case. So yes it is the entry American tele, but the difference is negligible to the Professional series or whatever the next level up is....

@SaurianSoul 3 года назад

The prices of all the american Fenders make me want to cry. I bought my 2006 American Standard Tele in 2012 for $650 of CL. To think of spending $1600 + tax on what is the simplest guitar to build seems ludicrous to me. They play great but they're asking the price of a mid range PRS when it's essentially a slab of ash with a bolt on neck,

Nothing beats a tele. I have a Morgan custom made, a brand no one ever heard of but everyone that plays it loves it. The sustain and twang is amazing! It's so easy and comfy to play.

@stephanematis 3 года назад

@@numbersabcdefg Don't think the volume know was altered, I doubt Darren did anything but switch positions. But there was this cancellation of upper and lower bands, with a haunting tone that I dig. I would love it as a into/outro sound, certainly shoegaze or even as an option for doubling something else. But may just me, though I suspect it resonates with others.
