If I might elaborate on that: Jay is the perfect combination of well spoken, straight to the point, informative and an excellent player and actor hired to sell this particular brand of pickups. Wow. I like to swap pickups every once in a while for fun. Nothing, not one single little thing in the intricacies of R&D development of pickups should ever warrant a price like this. From a business point of view, I kind of respect it tbh: just ask a crazy price and a bunch of people will believe it's _gotta_ be worth it, right?

Twangy and surf is why I bought a Telecaster. I grew up with those sounds…Thanks for the great demos.

I really liked the punchy set...I am just starting out my journey and starting it on a Tele copy that will require new pickups as I advance. I'm mostly a Classic Rock/Blues Rock/ Southern Rock fan, so I think the punchy or blues sets are more in my wheelhouse. This video really has helped me with what I may be looking for in the future. Thanks.

@MegaJimako Год назад

If I was selling pickups, you'd be the one I'd want to demo them. Super nice personality, crazy playing and technique, very fun. Knowing the tones, priceless. I am a new builder and will definitely consider Tone Specific.

@JoelWetzel 4 года назад

Thank you for demonstrating the clean sets. I've noticed RU-vid guitarists often start with overdriven sounds and only get more distorted as their videos progress. That, and the posturing statements about their loudness and gigging, make videos like yours more appreciated. Peace.

@ForViewingOnly 6 лет назад

Great series of videos Jay, thanks. I always enjoy watching you play a Tele. My preference would be Twangy, and I enjoyed hearing your brief version of Sleepwalk with the help of the Bigsby.

@rofflestomp684 4 месяца назад

Really nice man. You bring those pickups to life. It's all about the twang when it comes to the tele for me. I have plenty of guitars, but I have four sets of pickups for my tele. :) Pole magnets, bottom magnets, over wound and under wound at the bridge. Mine is cut for a P90 at the neck and the staple pickup rules. I hate muddy pickups, they go straight into the "not quite ready to throw them out" parts box.

Yes great guitar playing sure adds to all Thanks !

Great video 👍 I would choose the punchy because those fit my style of playing best ! I run the Seymour duncan qourter punder in my bridge on my 1962 Rosewood Ash body telecaster. It has high crisp tone and its must to beef it up. So there you have my choice 👌 Best regards from Scandinavia Sweden 🇸🇪

@Rogijimbex 3 года назад

Magnificent playing! I have many Telecasters - all with slightly different sounds-making a choice of these four pickup combos more difficult because I first have to identify what's missing from the instrument sounds I have. Each demo led me to say - "yeh I could use that"...then the next demo and "yeh" again. So I'm more perplexed than clear on anything. However - first inkling is to go punchy. I think the added power would add an element to my Tele sound spectrum. Very preliminary thought however. Your playing makes me want to crawl into a hole and never come out. (40 years of string wrestling). Thanks for the video

@candidcook-up8865 2 года назад

@fredthebasspro2256 4 года назад

@a.j.garrett9639 3 года назад

I liked those Twangers but I think you sold me on the Blues. Especially when you said Tube Screamer and fuzz. Nicely done! The Strat video was really good so I came back for the Tele. I think a Tele will be my first build. Those blues pups will be the voice.

@JayLeonardJ 3 года назад

Blues are great! Have fun with the build :)

@jasonswitzer1748 8 месяцев назад

This is a GREAT video. The pickups all sound very different. I’d get the 52 Twang for originally Tele sounds and 51 Jazz for a second Tele to play… jazz. I like the Rock ones too, but I’d stick with a Strat for that kind of sound. Again… fantastic video (and killer playing man… super talented!). Edit: Holy moly, these are expensive pickups! They’re all $395 in October 2023. Yikes!

@thesausage351 2 года назад

Man, I love to see all this love for Telecasters! I honestly can’t afford to buy Fenders, but I have an 8yo Squier in vintage butterscotch, which I’m putting pickups into it from a 2021 model Bullet Telecaster, and I have an Artist clone, which has dual humbuckers in it, and I’m building a Tele kit in zebra wood and using Tonerider Hot Classics, and I now have a thin line clone which I’ll probably eventually throw new pickups into. I’d really like to build a Nashville Tele with a tremolo bridge in a relic style, and I’d love to build a John 5 signature copy which uses the 3 humbuckers. One day I might be able to afford a Tele, I’d like an 80’s model in butterscotch, or blonde, but I’m a lefty so it won’t happen. I’m already planning out a build on a sea foam green vintage style with binding, and a bunch of trick parts, and probably a Strat neck, just for something different lol.

@headly21 2 года назад

Man, with all the piece-parts and supplies you're getting to build those other Tele clones, you can probably afford to buy one. Have you added up all the money you've spent on those builds? I'm on my second build now and just the cost of the raw ash body and the unfinished maple neck set me back about $300. Then there's all the finishing supplies (lacquer, sanding materials, etc.), the hardware, and the pickups.

@mboyer68 3 года назад

Damn... you're an incredible player!!! Edit: I've watched this video a bunch of times now over a few day period. Jay is the best guitar player... that's it. He's just the best! His finger speed, the soul he puts into it, etc. Obviously i don't know how to properly evaluate a guitar player.. but to my ear, he's the best.
