WILL IT CHUG? - Fender Telecaster American Ultra 

Ola Englund dude that Metallica lick I heard in there lol

5:30 that melted my face ola

Chuga chuga choo choo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chug is life

Will it Pug?

So much clarity, it sounds awesome

Bringo.

@@Neocasturn I’ve been an acoustic player my whole life but I always thought Fender telecasters were so frikkin cool and of course nobody can deny its historic place in the world of music in general and being a fan of traditional classic country music like I am the fact that telecasters have always traditionally been considered synonymous to the country genre isn’t lost on me either so when I first saw these guitars I confess, I fell in love with them and I just had to go out and purchase one in the ‘Texas tea’ color! Shockingly (even to me) I LOVE my tele!!! It sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE running thru a brand new Fender Princeton reissue amplifier. I can only imagine it will continue to grow on me even more so due to an old workplace related injury that makes playing acoustic guitars a bit of a challenge for me as it already is so for me personally, it was a match made in heaven! Now, when forced to stop playing an acoustic guitar because my arm just doesn’t have the strength left to do it anymore I will have a backup plan in place that I’ve already grown comfortable and satisfied with!

Charle MIJ are they really

@@clonetrooper9015 they technically are humbuckers but only the output of one coil is used which makes it sound more like a single coil.

i heard texan walk there near the end, what a vulgar display

@@aidanbbm Yeah it was Becoming a pretty big Trendkill, but luckily that idea was Shattered fairly quickly. I’d give this a 10s/10.

You have constructed the best comment. Be proud.

He slaughtered on that telecaster. I'm broken that I will never rise to have the art of shredding down at the same level that Ola does.

Sounded great man.

Jimmy Page used mostly a Telecaster in the studio under controlled conditions. Live was another matter as single coils back in the day were like wrestling snakes. Geniuses like Hendrix and Beck were the snake charmers for sure. Not to forget Blackmore aa well.

@Jim Goose never said that. Page did. Read slower... 😆

Love that snarling quality of the Tele.

Because they are different? Metal is Metal, and I hate to put it like this, but all guitars that are similar sound pretty much the same because they are all targeting the same emulated sound with close enough to the same hardware configs meaning your out of place guitars will always be more interesting because it wasn't within the same specs.

You actually get more interesting metal tones with some non-metal amps as well.

I'm at a point where I want to hear a technical death metal band use a Fender Jazzmaster, Gretsch G5222 and Guild Starfire bass.

And mostly single coils, that's so cool and would make modern metal more diverse if we got more guitarists to try it, and bassist as well, using anything but active basses!

@@nocturnal101ravenous6 that's why I aim for 80s metal sounds, nobody sounds that way anymore, fuck modern polished hi-gain sound.

It colors it just perfectly.

Yep, the twang wants to come out... and I love it!

Yes, but a great flavor it is

It's got a weird sound when the two pickups are engaged as one. Kind of a reverb effect.

right? such a cool tone

Does a Stratvarious chug?

I do think a stradivarius could chug even if Ola was playing it, maybe?

I have a 6 string violin and the low F string chugs really nicely

@@HaibaneRakka571 i have 6 string guitar, the low e chugs pretty nicely

Electric violins are a thing. Ola _definitely_ needs to test this.

You can use it on a duel with the devil….. karate kid style 😂

And u know its like 15 in 1 shampo for men, my father in old day he was playing in rock band and jazz session in a bar, and he say if its only one guitar will he pick for his entire life, is telecaster

Teles work for anything. Metal, punk, blues, jazz, funk, prog, psychedelic, etc. Just an all around brilliant piece of guitar engineering.

​@@robwalsh9843yeh, I have Tele deluxe, sounds closer to a Les Paul than telecaster but very versatile

@robwalsh9843 they also look absolutely gorgeous in my opinion, on of the best body profiles. Only downside of a Tele is it's not very ergonomic (literally just a wood box), but even then some non-Fender clones fix that with a nice cutout for your arm.

Dude that guy rocks so hard I watched his rig overview and even his arm the homeless guitar has a single coil in the neck

@@lukebelay6995 You bet Morello rocks!! - his work with RATM and Audioslave was out of this world... One of my favorite, if not my favorite guitar player at his generation.

Yeh, but he's not that heavy so it works

And funkiest!

No he didn't

SWAMP metal😲

@Luke ive wanted a Tele for a while. I may have to buy one now. They are way cooler than I initially thought haha

It's awesome. You can turn the tone down if you want to get more normal with it

I can't recommend a Tele enough no matter what genre you play! It just has such a distinctive twang that shines through even with multiple effects added

@@mrffoeg I have a tele and the tone knob stays at 50% at all times basically. If I want more of a semi humbucker tone, I just roll it off a bit more and I’m set. If I need more bite, just roll it up. Teles are by far the best guitars for when you don’t know what kind of guitar you want.

7 string version :D

its a strat with a humbucker in the bridge. nothing chugs better!

@Dogslayer Oh I hope he tries the 7 string one 😂

EASY!

@@OlaEnglund Do it you coward! 😁

It's a very good thrash metal guitar

Chuck Driver the clarity is great

Faaaanbooooy

Except a hardtail Ibanez RG

Agree completely 👍

2 guitarists in band, one with humbuckers, one with single coils, ultra T H I C C best of both worlds.

Two legs and a kidney.

Very meaty sound

Yeah, I think that middle setting is worth the price of admission alone. Makes a very versatile guitar even better.

I'm planning to mod my tele with that S1 switching so it can do the same thing. There's such a unique sound to it, it doesn't sound like normal humbuckers. It's so bassy but clear at the same time. You can buy drop in controls wired for S1 switching to make it easy. But I'm also getting some high quality pickups, probably Dimarzio Twang Kings, and gonna try and learn how to solder them in myself.

@@duffman18 Easier and cheaper to add the 4-way Oak-Grigsby switch to any garden variety Tele (won't get that color and binding though). Wiring diagrams only a google away. I set mine up for N/parallel/B/series. My auto-mod on Teles.

@@jvin248 thank you, yeah a quick Google says its certainly cheaper doing that. I'll probably do that then

probably both, it sounds refreshing, and badass

After he enabled the „humbucker“ style wiring it was just brutal AF with twang

jriz malalay this been done by hardcore players for a long time now

Z E R O pretty sure Attack Attack’s self titled album has one of the panned guitars playing this sound. Adds a cool springy element to the mix.

Teles are highly versatile guitars, I'd recommend an American professional or standard model.

Victor Sage For clean sounds, idiot.

@Victor Sage it really is for the cleans bruh

DiamondHead AmIEvil yeah, but for the clean sounds. He’s a Mesa fan for the gain sounds.

@Samí Warrior Metallica just used the JC's for clean tones though.

@Samí Warrior Yes, and? haha. We're all good, friend.

Jake Terch the shape is not my favorite

Using the neck pickup only at that.

I wouldn't consider ratm metal

@Virgil Grin dude OH MY GOD we are talking about guitar tone here not communism can you please not

@@tpatt623 yeah they were heavy in their riffs, but their tone was more alternative than metal.

Scott Krempel twugg! Excellent 😂

Twugging. I like that. If it had a humbucker in there, it would be a whole different story.

Ha ha ha ha

@@Guitarnivore could just get their new HSS ultra strat

for playing that donkey ronk music like them bands in the US you know the ones

It's only related because Blackmachine is based off of the Telecaster.

Random Brandon the tone is so original and unique. Fuckn sick

Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine apparently tracked some of that band's heavier riffs with a Tele.

The first wintersun album had some stuff recorded with a tele, it sounds sick. On the song beautiful death you can really hear the twang

@@sassulusmagnus he record the whole RATM album with an american standart tele that he got from trading a marshall amp to is roommate. He take it because he needed a guitar that could hold the drop tuning

Uh..... Maybe it's because Blackmachine is based off of the Telecaster. Take this guitar an put some humbuckers in it.

2:18

cry about it.

Do you know what tuning it's in, pls?

Andrew Fletcher sounds like drop C standard, I’m not 100% sure but I’d start there lol

@@jessestumpf190 yea, thanks mate 👍

/r/guitar cant use google to find the easiest guitar related questions.

Thats exactly why i use a tele for metal

They're better with a left handed bridge and probably a different pickup, depending on the model.

dude, John 5 (ex marilyn manson, Rob Zombie) is an amazing metal guitarist and he uses a tele like all the time

@@oribulous John 5 is killer! I just watched a rig rundown video with him. He has a shitload of Tele's. He uses a different one for every tune during live shows. Also James Root uses a lot of Tele's. You cant say his tone isn't heavy (ha ha)

My favorite moment

This gen of noiseless aren't very noiseless. The ones in my ultra jazzmaster are noisy as shit lol

After certain level of drive/distortion even humbuckers have that noise . It's in the amp and pedals tone itself . not coming from the guitar.

Stacked solar humbucker and a solar hotrail

This. So much this.

Yeah buddy! 🎸

That would be interesting. It would have to have an evertune bridge and a forearm/belly cut. With the open grain wood that Solar has been using.

@@Captain_Zero_ this one has a belly cut already

metal/mathcore/prog metal guitarist here, used tele's almost exclusively for the last 25+ years...agree with your sentiments :D

I was literally just thinking this

@@CaptainRudy4021 same bruh

same

Now even the cheapest Aliexpress guitar is made in Corona.

Scary

They do make a tele evertune if he decides to make a single coil version.

A Solar tele with evertune and bridge humbucker would be epic. And then a 7 string!

NIAL_IST that will be a good idea too!

Dave Ehl fuck yeah! Solar “motherf****r growler metal burper caster” 🤘🏻

Id buy for sure!

Right.

Facts.

@@bipbipletucha Yup. 😁

I have to agree. I used to dislike teles a lot. Then I got one... Now that's the only guitar I play. I get the best NYC-style hardcore tones out of it. Reminiscent of Earth Crisis "Firestorm" era. Love my tele:)

When you’re right you’re right.

I love Unsane. I still wear one of their shirts regularly. Cheers!

cringe

wholesome

David M you can do everything with a les Paul.

Can I jack up my car to change the oil and oil filter

Viper vids gaming plus 😂🤘

Nigel can't get an LP to twang. Not like a Tele. Not even close. And I own several and ALWAYS change to a Tele when I need twang and/or really clean

@@nigel7779 Nope, you can't

I’m debating between that and the butterscotch. Both look so nice but I think I’m leaning more toward the maple board

really? thats so cool i didn't know that. does stacking vs the traditional set up affect the end result?

@@HANKUS It does - it still manages to sound like a tele though. I have the Ultra strat, and it has the stacked single coils too. They just sound a bit... thicker I guess - but you would never mistake it for a Les Paul. It still sounds like a strat.

@@zoeherriot interesting, do you have a video of that strat personally i stack 3 amp sims and double the tele through a whammy octave down and find that makes it sound huge and perhaps not like a tele unless you listen for it

@@HANKUS I don’t - but it’s a limited edition FSR Ultra (all black) from a Japanese dealer. But if you check say an Andertons review of the Ultra Strat (the Texas Tea model for instance) - it’s got the same electronics. That absolutely would make it sound huge. :)

@Zach 😂😂😂

If it were only the guitar maybe... But if you add the amp and the pedals then you'll end up poor

Squire affinity, Harley Benton. Yeah, you can afford this if you save like one paycheck.

@@djevon4853 Or a used Mexican-made Fender. They go for like $300.

If you buy a cheaper MIM Player Series yes

James root added active pickup's tho. He never used single coil. :)

@@ZX6R_SQUID I know, thanks.

I have a John 5 Squire, sounds awesome.

@@ZX6R_SQUID ok. No problem. Then look at Norma Jean. They use classic tele on the single coil. Killer guitar tone.

@@valeryt4977 I have a strat tele custom single coil and the thing is grunty asf. Still has that slight twang tho but it is amazing. Norma Jean pretty damn epic.

Caleb from Beartooth

I would not mind seeing him try that ,but spoiler alert I have and they do.

Not exactly metal but Pete Townshend's best tone was when he had his big orange hollowbody Gretsch. The power chords on that thing. Man it's one of my dream guitars purely because of Who's Next and Quadrophenia

Have you ever heard Cult of Luna? If yes, then you know Gretsch will chug. :)

you can play The Beatles and brutalslammingpornogrindcore on this

Agree. Thats why I got a tele. Now I want and ultra luxe but man they are pricey

@@kielba987 seriously, find me another guitar that can do the same

They have a metal plate around the bridge pickup, and metal knobs. So you might be onto something.

“Hold up, let me forget the entire 80s happened with everybody ripping the strat body” lol

You eat cereal..... You wire pick ups in serial.......

funny!

@@cornbobrimlove7892 series

I know....

@@cornbobrimlove7892 haha i knew you knew

They aren't true single coils but they aren't humbuckers either. But tbh I would argue the true single coils would chug better since it's about the same sound but shsrper and twangier

Try some Bare Knuckle Pile Drivers. You'll need a noise gate.

Love thinlines with a wah....

A Tokai Telecaster, at that. Those blew Fenders out of the water in the '80s.

It can be done easily. People just don't Do it enough because they see it and think "that isn't a metal guitar".

I think the vintage-voiced pickups actually do metal Better than the noiseless pickups.

@@christopherjackson3455 his version is armed with EMGs i think

Jim toot model uses emgs. No single coils

@@ryang3225 yeah the guy with the one toot?

To be fair, literally any guitar can be metal with EMGs. Heck, you could bolt EMGs onto a boat paddle, and it will basically be a metal guitar and sound decent.

@@AlphaLionOfLight but running some pointy ass design with a reverse headstock is cooler looking than a les paul with EMGs
