@RobertBakerGuitar Год назад

Gear question I meant to ask in the video. So a Tele only has a master tone knob.Is there such a thing as a knob that is essentially split in half (the bottom and top spin seperatly) So that you could control the tone of your bridge and necl seperatly? I probably did a terrible job explaining that.

@Deric_Rocks Год назад

Stacked or dual concentric potentiometer

@thebrysmith3 Год назад

Well I think there should be.

@stevenarmstrong5364 Год назад

As already said, that could easily be wired up with a dual concentric pot

@rkoz55 Год назад

I put those on my Les Paul DC for separate volume and tone for each pickup.

@andrewbecker3700 Год назад

Just watched a video where the guy was explaining how he NEVER used the tone pot for the neck pickup anyhow, so he's wired all his T's so only the bridge pickup has tone control. It might actually clean the neck signal up slightly. If I remember correctly its only a 1 wire mod.

@DrewJD Год назад

Fender has been doing specific years from the start of the AVRI’s, brother! The ‘57 Strat, ‘62 Strat and ‘52 Tele were mainstays from ‘82 through the 00’s. Gilmour’s Red Strat is a 57 AVRI, but an ‘84.

@matthewf1979 Год назад

Exactly! Fender has been doing year specific reissues since 1984. It revived the brand.

@jimb2577 Год назад

They went away from that for a while. Nice that it's back.

@chipshaw3774 Год назад

I have a ‘65 AV Strat in Dakota Red from 2012.

@matthewf1979 Год назад

@@chipshaw3774 great guitars! You have one of the rarer models. The ‘65 Strat wasn’t around very long.

@joermnyc Год назад

Norman’s Rare Guitars has demoed all the vintage Strats, and the ‘57 just has THE Strat tone. For a Tele I actually got a G&L ASAT Classic, Leo Fender kept on innovating and his MFD pickups are just next level.

@mr.anderson70 Год назад

So right! A G&L with MFD pickups is so great. I'd love to have a SC-2 some day.

is the gand l american made

@joermnyc Год назад

@@soofitnsexythe only non American made G&Ls are the low to mid price range “Tribute” models, and even those use California made pickups and bridges. Some different woods are used and oddly the cheap import model gets fancy fingerboard inlays and neck binding, while the USA made one just gets dots.

@jimkostan9932 Год назад

Fender made several editions of 62 FSR strats,in 84,& 2009,they also put out a limited edition,a 250 run,FSR, the pickups that used 1962 custom specials, combined with 57 custom specials cannot be beat.

@giulioluzzardi7632 Год назад

That's right, they have been making Vintage re-issues for longer than any other style.

@Luka0346 Год назад

Is everything okay there??? Here with me I have five guitars from Fender USA from the previous American Vintage lines, all made from the 90s until 2017: A 1957 strat (same as that one there, only in Surf Green, a 1962 strat, a 1952 tele, a 1959 strat and a 1956 strat. I just can’t believe my ears hear you saying Fender is “finally doing specific years”. They have been doing that forever, they only stopped doing this like five years ago, until now.

@TomTom-kv5nf Год назад

The ‘57 and ‘62 Strats and the ‘52 Tele’s have been in production for decades, the generic decade ones that replaced them have only been around for a couple of years? Having said that, chat boards are still full of debates over how ‘authentic’ they are.

@honkytonkinson9787 Год назад

I have a 2003 fender catalog. It features the American vintage series: 52 and 62 telecasters, 57 and 62 strat, 63 jazzmaster and Jaguar, in addition to the 50s 60s and 70s strats and teles, plus 72 and 69 teles. Custom shop had several more options in the catalog. Can’t find what you want? Several signature models feature 50s and 60s specs fender was doing this since the Squiers in the early 80s

@gytisjanusonis4334 Год назад

Whatever Robert does, I just hope he never sells that Charvel. That was the one that made fall in love with crackle finishes.

@noahmichael2213 Год назад

I've owned several strats over the last 30 years, including a WONDERFUL all original 1964 Strat that was like a dream to own and had an amazing neck that was so smooth from all the decades of wear. Ended up selling it even though I thought it would be a lifer because I played a Mexican made Player Series that was so comfortable to play. I've only owned American strats (and still two) but this Mexican strat is my #1 because it's just so nice to play. Neck isn't as worn in as my old '64 strat, but it's just as comfy. Never thought I would like a Mexican strat and always thought less of them but this one in particular has "it" and it's shocking to me. I changed the pickups but that's it. Anyway, just wanted to share this story

@666jswful Год назад

Hey man, hope you’re doing well. I’m super happy that you made this video but as another poster has mentioned Fender has done these sort of series before. Prior to the announcement and release of the AVRI ii series I bought an AVRI series from the 1990s and this guitar has the specs of a 1957. Three way switch (comes with a five switch in the case), soft v neck profile and the tone/volume pots do what Fender did in 1957. Check out those guitars to see what you think. Thanks man, take care.

@RokDAWG1 Год назад

Ok i am definitely feeling that Tele! I feel like most Tele guitars are overwhelming with their tones and I spend a lot of time trying to calm them down. This is perfect!

@RobertBakerGuitar Год назад

Thats a great way to put it. Their neck pickups overwhelm when I play but this one was chill.

@dezionlion Год назад

Nocaster pups!

@j_freed Год назад

I spend a lot more time in the middle position and bridge… But a good Telecaster with the right player touch is magical.

@RokDAWG1 Год назад

@Robert Baker I'm pretty certain this is why haven't found a Tele yet.

@henrydiaz720 Год назад

What?

@bartvschuylenburg Год назад

I wish they did their “pure vintage pickups” to each year from the 50’s and 60’s. I have the pure vintage 64’s on my tele, but 63 tele pickups (which they don’t sell as aftermarket products) are just as nice but really different.

@michaelangelofalco9819 Год назад

In 1983 I was gifted a 1957 Fender Stratocaster reissue with original specs, theres position toggle etc.

@jeffanderson8384 Год назад

LOVE the soft V neck profile (and the slightly beefier soft V on the Vintera 50's modified tele)!

@benjaminhawthorne1969 Год назад

Robert, if you felt that the pickup was "too bright," couldn't you have just turned down the treble knob a bit. As I understand, that is why they put that knob on the guitar. 🤔?

@christophervincent8420 Год назад

I agree. It's nice to find that darker neck pickup on a tele. I am also excited on a new lesson drop. Please tell me it's country licks. Because no one puts out country licks. And I want them. Lol

@clarissaanaferreirasieiro2127 Год назад

I own a Fender Stratocaster 50s Mexican from 2000 in dakota red and a Fender Baja Telecaster from 2018 limited edition shell pink and i love them so much

@wesleyalan9179 Год назад

Great video, thanks! In 1998, I bought a brand new American Standard Tele JUST FOR the way the neck pickup sounded. It's the best one I've heard or played through. Years went by, and started to notice that in the bridge pick up, tone rolled all the way down with distortion is the best I've ever heard and played throughout as well, my Tele is a masterpiece. Lol!

@vote4chapman Год назад

Fender needs to get on board with roasted maple necks and stainless frets. it's ridiculous that you can get a Firefly/Eart/Harley Benton with those specs on guitars that are under $300.

@lucasc5622 Год назад

When you buy a £1500 fender guitar and it comes with nickel frets 😂

I purchased a Nashville Professional Telecaster about a year and 1/2 ago, reviewing your video and others on that guitar. Wrote a song right away with it. Forgot to use your sweetwater link but mentioned to my sweetwater rep that I bought after your review. He said you would get 'credit' for it. Thanks

@alanturingandthetapes5575 Год назад

fender's vmod telecaster pickups are mixed-magnet in the neck and resolve the "brightness"/icepickiness in normal telecaster pickups. you can still find them sold separately from resellers even though fender now seems to only sell them as part of american professionals.

@6stringcodger450 Год назад

I had some used 50s and 60s strats throughout the 70s (back when used guitars cost less than the new ones). Just dont remember there being so much difference in tone...maybe the necks felt different from one to the other. I think we get carried away with all this vintage stuff. Some guitars are now being beat up at the factory to pretend they are old (they even charge extra!!!). But get whatever you like, life is short!

@therideneverends1697 Год назад

Yeah the reality is up untll the late 80s as far as fender was concerned the single coil was the single coil was the single coil, they where not "voiceing" them, they where just spinning coills to a certan DC resistance and calling it a day, any diffrence in wire or bobbin material was just due to old suppliers dropping the part and new ones filling in,. I agree people are way to neurotic about pickups

@newbutt Год назад

Hmmm, I bought my first Strat in '91 & it was a '57 reissue. It came w/3 way switch installed, but also the 5 way, the ashtray bridge cover & letter of authenticity. The maple neck, fingerboard, knobs & pups have aged nicely. Other than the 5 way, the only other thing I've changed is the pickguard to a 3-ply, just didn't dig the single ply. Also came with a tweed case. I'm a hack, not a pro like you, but it's still just gorgeous & stays tuned forever. I had a E.C. signature Blackie for several years, which was very cool & more versatile, but still liked my R.I. the best.

@g_and_kikos_studio Год назад

They did do it earlier. I have a 52 Tele Reissue from 93. And I sold a 54 Reissue anniversary Strat from 94

@temorinkaari Год назад

Look into angled switch plates, they work much better than stock Fender ones, and i guarantee you will love your tele even more

@brianeharmonjr Год назад

You must have only been paying attention to Fender since "American Original" was around. Until like 10 years ago, all of the original "American Vintage Reissue" or AVRI line was exactly what you're raving about, even more so than these new ones.

@DavidHBurkart Год назад

That last lick got my "CC Rider" going with the best Elvis lip I could muster. Great guitars RB!

@timwhite5562 Год назад

Dude, the title should have been "what took ME so long," because they've been doing this for a decades, they just stopped doing it for a few years with the "American Original" line. The American vintage reissue had been around forever. I had a AVRI 57, Which I sold when I went with an Eric Johnson. They did 57s and 62s throughout that period, then did various years here and there: 59/65/64/54. They had the AV Hot Rods too, with flatter fretboards and different pickups. Tht best line was the AVRI Thinkskins. They had thin finish like Eric Johnson's without the poly base coat, but what made them great was that they did everything else was period specific, but gave them 9.5"radius and med jumbos. I just cannot stand 7¼" and vintage frets. I can do one or the other, but not the both.

@motorcyclemark2889 Год назад

@tinman4585 Год назад

i put a P90 in the neck on a cheap MIM tele plays like butter and sounds great. My favorite ax and cheapest one too

@MisterRorschach90 Год назад

I’m so glad they have dual humbucker 1972 vintage style thinline teles outside of the custom shop now. I just wish they also had a Mexican version that was a little cheaper. I know there is a squier but I want a fender. The ultra heavy relic custom shop burst is basically my dream guitar. My only complaint about the new American fender other than the price is the 7.25 radius. It should have a 9.5 right? Those teles usually had 9.5 radius necks I thought.

@hi_fi_lo Год назад

This is so spot on... My 2015 52 AVRI was like magic when I tried it on the store! It was my one, THE one, the one I'd save if there was a fire. Everything clicks: the neck shape, the sound, the tuning stability is nuts and the "thin skin" nitro slowly checking since I bought it make for a magic experience every single time. 2012-2015 AVRIs are top tier fender

@dandyroll7610 Год назад

I bought a couple of years ago an American Original 50's Telecaster in butter blonde, with its thick neck. I love the neck pickup for its sweetness and body, but the bridge pickup rocks and kicks ass in a very punchy way. I love that guitar dearly and am grateful to Fender for having access to guitars that go back in time without having to sell my house to get them...

Back around 2012, I bought the new, at the time, Vintage American '59 and '65 Strats (there was a '54 or '56 too). This series were at least as vintage accurate as the current models modelled on actual guitars from specific years with no modern 'upgrades'. Clay dots, even correct pickguard screws, etc. (It came with the 3 way switch in the case.) Before that I owned to '62 to from the previous vintage AVRI series. ('62 isn't as accurate as 2012 range but the best they could do at the time. Also had 3 way selector in case.)

@timwhite5562 Год назад

Yeah, they were around for decades: AVRI/AVRI Thinskin/AV Hot Rods, I think it's Robert who's a little late to the party. They really only stopped making them for 4-5 years, then came back with them.

I had an early 80s MIJ Squier with a 57' neck. They're alright, but the 7.25" radius is definitely not for everyone. You have to set it up just right to avoid fretting out on bends. But it required constant maintenance to keep it that way. The 9.50" solved that, more or less. YMMV.

You arent crazy concerning the tele neck pickup. I bought an xaviere slick from gfs, expecting to hog out the neck pickup for a humbucker. But ended up liking it . a lot. the slick pickups are aged so they are just a touch microphonic, I dont know if that is making the difference for me. But it is proof that you might like something more than you thought when you bought, oh yeah and dont buy extra pickups until youre sure you have a place for them lol

Only gripe with this new AVII line is how tinted the necks are. Some photos I see the necks are practically orange. I have an AV 64' with a natural lacquer neck which looks way better than the pre-aged look imo. After all these guitars are supposed to be what you would get off the line new in their specified years...not what it would look like if it sat on a stand untouched for 60+ years.
