Best tone I’ve ever heard on this channel. Some of the best I’ve heard on RU-vid in a long time. This is a special one!

@angrybuzzy 10 месяцев назад

You need to keep that one, JNC. The tone in the opening jam was amazing.

@DominicHudson79 10 месяцев назад

Custom shop strat was a game changer for me. Finally found a fat, usable bridge pickup sound, so satisfying.

@sledgehammer80sband37 10 месяцев назад

Interesting - I've been struggling with that for years. I've liked the texas specials in the past, but since having a great custom shop tele (with a great bridge pickup) I've found my strats very lacking in a good bridge tone.

@DominicHudson79 10 месяцев назад

@@sledgehammer80sband37 yeah, I think a really good tele bridge pup will always outdo a strat for that beefy tone but I’ve persevered because I’ve always been a strat man. My CS has fat 60’s in and very usable tone and volume controls that have great range. It’s the fattest bridge tone I’ve had and that’s comparing it my others which are partscaster with lollars, a Suhr classic S and a American pro 1 with V mods.

It is Just astounding is it not?? Just the right guitar on the right preset? Or Just his well Honed talented playing, or combination of them all?? UNREAL. Think I have watched this like 10 times now. It is like that greeny les Paul he had for such a short time, that had this special sauce too.

@chrisgmurray3622 10 месяцев назад

The once great Roy Buchanan reportedly played a '53 Tele on his "Second album", and upon hearing the first three volume-swelling notes of track one side one-"Filthy Teddy", I was struck in the heart with his awesome playing. Years later I wondered if there was some subconscious recognition, due to the fact that I was born also in 53!

Wow. Those pickups sound super articulate and touch sensitive.

@r0bophonic 10 месяцев назад

Regarding cheaper options, I recently bought a 2016 Road Worn Tele on impulse based on the light weight (6.6 lbs), acoustic resonance and fantastic worn in chunky neck. The 7.5 radius takes some getting used to but it’s super comfortable.

@eljefeguapobarbon 10 месяцев назад

@McBoggler 10 месяцев назад

I recently got my first Fender custom shop, a 1960 strat relic, and I love it. It just feels special to play, pickups sound great, neck feels great. The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the vintage string spacing so I changed that to modern spacing which also led to a lower action. Very happy and would definitely consider another custom shop guitar if the price is right. I paid £1900 for the strat which was the cheapest one in the country at the time.

@joejohnson8966 10 месяцев назад

To me the thing with all custom shop guitars I hear is that there is always something in the mids. It's like it's more forward in the mix.

There’s a beautiful second hand Custom Shop Telecaster hanging at one of the local guitar shops here in my hometown and I’m planning on buying it because it looks killer and it plays really well and it sounds great. But I heard you say something about the earliest roadworn Telecasters. I remember playing one of those when they just came out and I was pleasantly surprised. However, you don’t need to search for the old ones necessarily. Last year I saw a Mexican made Vintera 50’s telecaster in a limited edition run with the roadworn treatment, nitrocellulose finish, light as a feather, a beautiful, chunky, yet smooth neck, CTS pots, good sounding pickups (although I did swap the bridge pickup) in a gorgeous looking Sonic Blue finish. I fell in love immediately. I did change the saddles for a better intonation, but man…, it’s hard to beat that thing. I actually think the relicing job is so much more convincing than a lot of these custom shop guitars. Anyway…, I just wanted to point out that you don’t necessarily need the most expensive guitars to make ‘em work for you. 😊

@deaconddd 10 месяцев назад

Fender custom shops are amazing. They aren’t for everyone but once you play them it’s hard to go back to a more affordable option. I own one and they are just more aesthetically pleasing, intimate, and for my money more tonally correct. If you can imagine buying a new quality baseball glove and doing the myriad of things people do to break them in so they can play with them often before taken them out to the field. Everyone is a little different and that’s what make’s them special.

@darineller6768 10 месяцев назад

Ash wood isn’t used much anymore because of availability, not the weight. Swamp ash is a lighter type of ash wood. The emerald ash borer insect has killed most of the ash trees in the US.

@flashingit 10 месяцев назад

I have AVII ‘51 and I love the neck and the 7.25 radius. I also have a CS LTD ‘63 with CuNiFe neck pickup and 50s hand wired bridge pickup. Both Teles are amazing to play. BTW, on the AVII ‘51 I sanded off some of the Nitro finish on the neck and fretboard to get rid of the sticky feel.

@johnbriggs3916 10 месяцев назад

I was put off by the distinctly orange colour of the butterscotch blonde on the AVII tele. This guitar looks to be nocaster blonde. Faded nocaster blonde is even better 😉

@davidmusselwhite547 9 месяцев назад

Just got mine. And. Yes. It’s a great guitar.

@lazvt8469 5 месяцев назад

Simply love the pickups on my '61 CS Tele....Suhr, Lollar and Fralin are quite excellent...but the body/tonality of my Chicago Specials on the CS have just abit extra depth...not even my LSL's TBone or MFDs can quite get there.

@partriotsfight5039 10 месяцев назад

@Darylbarker 10 месяцев назад

Have an early roadworn which is really light and plays awesome but the bridge pick-up just doesn’t have that bite a Tele should have… Intrigued to learn how close it would sound with something these pickups in it.

@cathybatson7781 10 месяцев назад

Really enjoy your channel. I have almost the same, 53 custom shop tele with heavy relic, 2017 which was 30th anniversary of the custom shop. It plays like magic and relic says it can go anywhere and there is no stress about damage. The twisted tele and broadcaster pick up set are the best combo. Can comp hendrix on the neck and Zep in the bridge. I will never understand how the first solid body made by Leo was it. As confusing as the double slit experiment.

@ksharpe10 10 месяцев назад

Your gettin really good with that Harp Harmonics, really nice sound on this video, Nice guitar. But Great Player really brings it out !!!! On a 2nd listening, that guitar has that GREENIE something that you got when you had the Gibson greeny. ONE SWEET Son of a Gun. This goes into my favorites list. Talkin about 5300.00 usd, for this instrument. Gosh I can remember in the 70's when you could buy an original for LESS. Gosh am I OLD.

@zenrun2913 5 месяцев назад

Was the shop floor traveler document not included? It list all the specifications.

@tonedowne 10 месяцев назад

I can vouch for the old Roadworn Mexican Teles. Other than issues with string alignment (ended up replacing the saddles), mine has been an absolute beast. Totally looks the part, is incredibly resonant and loud acoustically, lightweight, and the pickups are bang on . The neck is creamy and the bridge screams like a good tele should.

@maxpeck4154 10 месяцев назад

String alignment is one of the most frustrating things about some guitars, and replacing saddles doesn't always fix it. If the bridge itself is in the wrong spot (or the neck pocket isn't straight) they'll always be off.

@tonedowne 10 месяцев назад

@@maxpeck4154 This one was straight, but the spacing was too wide for the fretboard, especially with the vintage radius. Any kind of vibrato on either E string would push the string off the fretboard. Changing the saddles allowed me to pinch the E strings in a touch. I still have to be conscious of it, but I can actually avoid doing it now, whereas before it always happened at least once in the set.

@maxpeck4154 10 месяцев назад

@@tonedowne Aaahhh I have that issue with my Nash T63 but it's not the spacing it's how the frets are gradually rolled off toward the ends on the bass side. Makes them super comfortable, one of the best fret jobs I've seen, but if/when I have it refretted I'll request that they be filed at a slightly steeper angle to increase the playable area on the bass side. Mostly I'm used to it, not a huge issue.

@tonedowne 10 месяцев назад

@@maxpeck4154 yeah ok. The whole thing is very rounded, but the strings are definitely closer to the edge than my other guitars. But replacing the saddles really did make a big difference. Having intonation compensated saddles means that they can be straight and not slanted out, which ends up with the E string’s sliding right over to the edge. Best $28 I ever spent.

@electrickid101 10 месяцев назад

I want one that’s relic’d from being on the road with david Allen Coe

@southpaw335 10 месяцев назад

Sounded great. If i’m honest the relic job is a little overdone for my tastes, i don’t hate it, it’s just not my thing. That said if it plays well and sounds that good you could learn to love the looks.

@Mr.D34 10 месяцев назад

Sounds great. I'm not into relic'd guitars, this one looks great though. I personally wouldn't order a custom shop guitar from Fender or any other similar brand. Not because it's not worth it, it's simply because Fender makes great guitars in their regular lineup that are close to that quality (minus the relic job obviously) you can always modify it to your liking, there are many great pickup makers out there, including Fender. When it comes to custom shop guitars i think it's best to see a luthier (or a boutique guitar builder as the youtube guitar community refers to them 🙂) who will make you a unique guitar to your liking and specifications that will be totally your own thing. Which is what i did and never regretted it. Btw it would be amazing if you could you make a video where you play that guitar through an analog gig and compare it to modelers after that? 🙂

@ericjenks9596 10 месяцев назад

They moved away from Ash to Alder in the 50’s for expediency. Alder has a closer grain, so it requires less grain filling than ash. It’s quicker to apply the finish, so that’s why Fender changed. Recently, ash has been decimated by the Emerald Ash borer here in the states, an invasive species. That’s why they’re charging a premium now. Harder to get due to the trees dying

@ericjenks9596 10 месяцев назад

My personal tele is an avri 52 reissue from 2001. 6.9 lbs, loaded with custom made voodoocaster nocaster pickups from Peter Florance. I’ve never felt the need for a custom shop after getting that. I have a ‘59 heavy relic strat though, and it’s amazing. When you find the right custom shop, they’re the best.

My CS (got it used last week, lefty) is noticeably "better" than my Pro II...in every way...especially tone. In fact...got my Tele Pro II on sale as of last night...as it will not see much play now that I have this CS and about another half dozen upgraded budget-conscience Tele's with hand wound/boutique pups that sound amazing in their own right. .

@ivan_emege 9 месяцев назад

Fender Custom Shop is ahead from Gibson Custom Shop in terms of variety, feel, playability and somethings like quality of frets and hand wound pickups, in my experience (have guitars from both divisions) Every season Fender Custom Shop features cool limited edition models, and for sure you can order your dream guitar with plenty options on woods, neck profile, fretboard radius, electronics, pickups, and a variety of finishes and relics… As I said, is ahead from Gibson Custom by far… I have a wonderful Tele from the custom shop, It’s my best guitar, confortable, well balanced, amazing pickups, delicious soft v neck, perfect weight… but like all Teles, ugly as hell.
