@@b_ry_ce DIY, watch some of Trogly's videos from 2009, there is indeed a learning curve to producing video content. Like all things in life worth doing, it takes time, specifically "your" time. Don't be so hard on yourself, be positive and be the best version of you possible! (it sounds corny, however it will provide almost 100% successful results)
I still have my telephone. It plays awesome and any of my friends who play it fall in love with it. I paid $30.00 bucks at a yard sale. And smiled all the way home 😊
@@b_ry_ce Only a few modern Telecasters utilize the 4-Way switch, 95% of all Telecasters use the traditional 3-Way switch. Also, the neck pickup is a traditional design Fender single coil, the lipstick pickup uses an entirely different design. Lipstick pickup uses a single bar magnet with the coil winding in direct contact with the magnet (no bobbin used). Fender single coil has six (60 individual pole piece magnets. The typical Telecaster neck pickup has a darker tone due to a smaller gauge wire being used, thinner pickup coil wire equals a darker tone. Really cool that you found it, thanks for sharing with all of us, I'd never seen this model before.
@@b_ry_ce No worries at all. Very cool that you are trying out different models and types of guitars. Its all about the journey and what you/we learn along the way. I started playing guitar back in 1974, for most of my time I only owned Stratocasters and Les Paul guitars. That is until 2018 when I purchased my first Telecaster, I kick myself for not getting a Tele 40 years ago! I find that the wider string spacing of the Tele bridge makes it easier for me to hybrid pick...........live and learn, all about the journey. 👍😉
@diy_adventures it is nice, almost 30 years ago he traveled to Japan for a year and left it with me until he came back. It was nice guitar to learn on.
@diy_adventures it wasn't my first that would be an epiphone acoustic but it certainly was nice to hold onto during my sophomore/junior year of high school. I know he still has it but not sure how much it gets played.
@@b_ry_ce Thomastik JS110 Flatwounds would save the frets from scratches. Fun fact the Telecaster was originally designed for Flatwound strings so I thought it would be interesting to take it back to its original glory.
@@RockStarOscarStern634 I believe it! I actually really like playing it with my fingers way more than the pick. If I were going to keep it I would put flatwounds on it.
Maybe in dumb but on strats I feel like all that really matter is the neck to me anyway. I'm sure the different woods and setups make a different but I play with a lot of distortion most the time. People sell those necks on eBay for decent money
Trogly sucks. Be you own man. Hopefully that man can write better underscore music that doesn't have juvenile cursing in it. Telecaster neck pickups are not "lipstick style". That's a different animal. Teles are covered single coils. 3-Way selector is standard on Teles the two-piece maple neck is a big damn deal and desirable over not having a separate fretboard. The lack of shielding is noteworthy "taking it apart" includes pulling the neck of bolt-on guitars
@@hkguitar1984 I'm confused on that because I had epi strats from the same era and they were ply. I also had a samick branded tele from this era and it was also ply.
