I can't afford these guitars. I can't imagine a world in which I can justify buying one. But it fills me with joy to know they exist and to hear Pete and The Captain play them.
@John Smith thank you, John. Please tell my wife! Also, I could mention that because of lockdown we couldn't go on holiday this year, so technically we've saved thousands!
@John Smith Sim only phone. No fancy computer. Nothing on the rest. Happy for those who have different priorities. Love my budget/used guitars. I'm probably not the only one here. Love watching Pete play the expensive ones.
I'm convinced that most people here love relics, the people who comment though are the ones who don't like it. The lovers just sit here drooling over the beauty of these guitars
@@telecasterbear I love 70's Fenders they get a lot of abuse but one of the nicest Strats I've ever played was a 78 sunburst with the black guard!, Also its my favourite look on a Strat.
Watching this having owned a Polar White maple fretboard Fender Player series Tele for two days, and I’m already in love with the feel of a Tele. Damn that thin line is a beauty.
Jaw dropping relicing. The pink and thinline sounded just.....just... magnificent. Great solo from Lee too. Sadly I'll never be able to afford a customer shop tele, but I can still dream. Great video guys.
I must be early. No one has started hating on paying more for a new guitar that looks beat up. Personally, I love them. I just wish I could make them sound like you do. I used to wish I could play like Pete but I'd be thrilled to be sounding like the Captain. Lee's playing is seriously good! Clearly he didn't waste his time during lockdown.
I think Captain Lee is a brilliant host. Most other RU-vid guitarists work best solo, but the genius of Andertons is the dialogue. Keep rocking'! We love the jams.
3 years ago, I wasn't a relic fan...until I bought a Mischief Maker (Strat body, tele neck). I now own three (and looking to purchase a Nocaster) and feel the same way you both describe them.
Pete went full on jazz there in intro. Nice to see even a pro goes jazz occasionally. Have to say Lee’s playing has come on in leaps and bounds since the channel started.
mel obrien because it’s got polyurethane coating!!! You still don’t know that. You’re on every post here. You should know that only nitro wears out by now.
We don't need roadworn guitars, we just need all guitars to have nitro finishes so they end up looking like this naturally, none of this poly junk we have on every guitar now. Saying that, these are some fine looking guitars.
Depends if you're talking about the thick gloop of polyester or the thinner polyurethane that is applied to more expensive guitars. Not everyone wants a 1950s nitro finish ya know? It seems to be rammed into guitarists on forums that nitro is 'better' when it is merely a finish option. If you want a stinky fire hazard that will never fully cure but WILL age, crack and yellow to look like a vintage guitar over time then nitro is your thing. If you want a more protective, shiny and modern finish that won't crack or yellow over the years then poly is your bag. I have both and like both.
Love relics. I'm with you guys. Really digging the Thinline, can't go wrong with that. It's a no-brainer color-wise. What surprised me is how much I like that pink. Gorgeous. Love that you guys do what you do with Fender.
Resisted the Tele for years but when I finally got one, it all clicked. It's a graduation guitar. You buy one when you're good enough because it will show people how you play. Love the new ideas on this batch. Next up for Andertons spec, a humbucker thinline?
Nooooiiiiice !!!! Love the tone too. Those Jonesy pickups have a nice midrange cream with top popping out. These pickups are ever so slightly peaky and twangy. Love these guitars to bits !!!
Ha ha, that intro reminds me of when I sat in an Anderton's practice booth and trialled a Cabronita through an AC15. I just sat there entranced by the raunch, playing the same chords over and over. After a few minutes my kids came in and said you could hear it all round the shop. Oops. The staff were gold, never said a word to me. Though all my car tyres were flat when I went outside (joke!)
Yes, he's turned into a really dynamic player. I mean Pete H. is brilliant but the improvement in Lee's playing over the past couple of years has been immense. I told him that he had sold his soul at the A25 / Woking Road Crossroads... Best, Pete.
I think I finally get the deal with telecasters. I'm not such a fan of the twang but where they seem to deliver is in allowing the artist's touch to really shine through.
That's totally fine if you ask me. One of my strats is an old Contemporary Stratocaster with a Kahler Spyder vibrato system (I refuse to call these things 'tremolo systems'). It's a beautiful guitar, but the previous owner put in two high output humbuckers and I hate them. So now I'm thinking of installing a P90 in the bridge position and a filtertron in the neck position. I really do believe that thát could be absolutely brilliant sounding. 😁
Tele with TV Jones Classic pickups are so good, I have the orange tele thin line parallel universe 2017 with white binding and its my favorite of my three teles. The green and silver look and sound great!! Whoever can afford those will enjoy greatly I would hope.
I’m selling my 2017 CS Tele Custom 60 with TV Jones. Its Orange Gretsch finish would be a perfect match with your Thinline. Way more affordable than those relic and in a minty shiny NOS finish. ;-)
My friend Mike who plays with Pittsburgh Band " The Rowdy Bovines", has offered his services for "cheapo" relicing.Basically you send the guitar to him in Pittsburgh,with enough moey included so he can buy lots of liquor.Leave it with him over the weekend and voila ,a guitar that you may be able to decipher the original hue.For more extreme relicing a guy in Florida named Dale will shoot your guitar one or more times.Which seems a little crazy ,but on second thought, actually very appropriate for Cowboy Bars,Gangster Parties,and Military events.Great Jam!.
Love these '52 Filtertron Tele's 🤩they sound and look so rock 'n' roll. The silver one looks exceptional but the green one is nice as well. How ever the two Thinline Tele's look like fresh from the garbage 😅
