I really wonder whether there's a think called American craftmanship actually, cause it seems Mexicans are producing either way, so the Mexican and American production should be the same in deed

Man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything
Comment from : @RobertBeckk

I think the Tele is the ultimate song-writers guitar There are certainly better guitars for hardcore players, but man the simplicity of a tele can't be beat in my eyes
Comment from : @R1SKYB1Z

Was I mistaken in thinking that people bought the Tele just for that bridge sound?
Comment from : @R1SKYB1Z

Vintage telecaster at the end gives legendary response so bright and solid to those fast riffs and licks Very sweet indeed But for now I will start with a player as an entry as my first Fender Gosh this guitars has tube scream even without a tube screamer The Tele twang is real
Comment from : @devilichus

Great video, you absolutely Rock Thank you for the comparisons, totally know what to get now 👑❤️
Comment from : @InsideTheStadium

So, are these all new? I guess I'm looking to see how they stack up against the '73 Tele Deluxe, which in my opinion was the best made, best sounding Tele of all time From the tuning keys to the switch, the pickups to the neck, bridge, easiness of setup, playability--are the new teles better than the old? I'm hearing that they are I hope so, having recently bought a Mex-tele Deluxe Haven't had enough time to run it through the paces, switch strings from 009 to 010 Your thoughts
Comment from : @charlesnwarren

Vintera?
Comment from : @flppr1

Which one does the best twang for the $?
Comment from : @flppr1

I have a Performer It's outstanding
Comment from : @MarkWalshe-bo1wh

Vintage sounds like a squire 😅
Comment from : @PyaePhyoKyaw-e3f

Absolutely ridiculous, remember when there was just one Triscut ? And guess what ? The original is still the best
Comment from :

Would love to tell you that there are vast differences in the sound of each model, but, honestly, that would be a big fat lie
Comment from : @freddymclain

God that squire made my ears bleed aaaaargh!!!
Comment from : @MultiDreamer1979

What about the ultra that's my favorite

Why did dudes used to wear granny panties on their head?brWas it just easier than taking a shower?
Comment from : @tomd8313

80 of the decision on purchase comes down to neck feel Stating its C shape does not cut it I’ve played several C’s and they all were different It would be great to see details on all neck shape offerings by Fender
Comment from : @corkbour7708

I wonder if/how they differ in fretboard widh at the nut I like it a bit wider if possible
Comment from : @bluespreacher77

classic vibe with good strings upgrade fender bridge and fender pickups Difficult to differentiate the sound with an American but the price yes
Comment from : @noirelectrique8782

I own a "Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus HSS in Honeyburst" and I feel it is far superior to any guitars shown on this Reverb display of 9 telecasters
Comment from : @stevenreiser2599

Can’t go wrong with the performer or professional The performer is my fav due to the grease bucket circuit and the nice tones it can produce
Comment from : @christiandiaz

I have Gianinni tele from Brazil paid 125 bucks sounds like number 10 A tele❤
Comment from : @williamcampbell163

Wish the guitars was tuned properly
Comment from : @thysdreyer6886

your grandmother has been looking for her missing afghan
Comment from : @Donnybrook10

The difference is 3 saddle bridge, vintage style tuners End of story!
Comment from : @KRAZEEIZATION

While there are some minor differences, none are enough that they won't be fixed or overwhelmed by signal chain and amplification Good demo Player series for me, but Squier is probably a good bet
Comment from : @user-xd7rc9mj3x

My advice buy an Affinity string through or for gigging buy the Mexican & mod the flaws all or buy both & use the discarded parts from the Mexican on the affinityPeace
Comment from : @nealdewar148

Hey Joe! It’s been 3 years I hope you’re wearing less silly hats
Comment from : @paradigm3638

All the same guitar, just different pickups and minor hardware differences The names are just a sales gimmick
Comment from : @thereelrobbyblack

Thanks! This is so helpful
Comment from : @GandaPrakasa

They all sound bad, I would say They are not even in tune, for Christ sake!
Comment from : @marcoskipper1

What happened to the deluxe?
Comment from : @kedd7636

They all sound exactly the same… lol brWe’ve all been duped into paying big money for “American’ and ‘elite’ … in the end wood is wood, pickups are pickups… your amp can be tweaked for any differences We’re all idiots for falling for this charade
Comment from : @Cooleydad68

The accurate chronological order of the 2016 - 2022 series should include American Ultra but I just realized that Ultra probably was presented withthe presentation of the Am Pro 2 brSo everything is cool
Comment from : @masterofthetelecaster

That fancy pants tele looks awesome, the sculpted back sells me, the back of a tele can be quite uncomfortable The compound neck seals the deal, the c shaped neck is the only other thing I don’t love about traditional teles
Comment from : @TheRealBalloonHead

that hat ain’t it hahaha
Comment from : @xxvolcomxx56

Wich one was your favorite?
Comment from : @christianberthiaumeccb

All of them sounds the same, just like my 50$ Tele
Comment from : @sidminor9284

A telle is a telle, if your got $1000 your in with shotbrH H telle is the only killer in the bunchbrPlayer series MIM
Comment from : @stevedriver1476

The vintage blows them all away
Comment from : @studiodsr

How was that not muddy?
Comment from : @optimus3305

1:32 I don't know how place of manufacturing has anything to do with quality Nice video though
Comment from : @BukuiZhao

nice hat
Comment from : @tobiasinnit

Classic Vibe actually have alnico pickups
Comment from : @jayyoungmusic919

so yea a tele is a tele is a tele they all sound and do the same thing splitting a few hairs isnt worth mentioning just makes them easier to sell, sell sell, the american elite standard pro player model costs more but if u r an american you so deserve that, suckers, why would you pay over a grand for something that costs 300 dollars to put together, you so deserve that, the more you know the less willing you are to pay that kind of price, its branding at its most costly, you so deserve that
Comment from : @simonhawker9277

If you buy a fender it should have a maple FB thats orig status ;)
Comment from : @manilaboy1vic

Tune em next time Jk lol
Comment from : @dennisparker4007

I find it hard to pay attention because of that ridiculous fucking hat
Comment from : @Jackzay90

I use the Performer with double tap Humbucker
Comment from : @thereelrobbyblack

That neck pickup on the “Chicago special” … 👏👏👏
Comment from : @JJblevins

If tis was the 80s I wouldn't say I bet you caint do that on a coostic👹
Comment from : @buckwheat4457

Yeah but can they chug 🍺
Comment from : @buckwheat4457

I must say they all sound good to me
Comment from : @tendingtropic7778

Any chance of doing a video like this for jazmasters? im looking into getting one and would love a video like this for them
Comment from : @trevwagner666

Loved that daft lookin Yellow one!👍
Comment from : @BeesWaxMinder

Let me tell you what the differences are since the person who made this video will notbrbrThe difference is in sound are mainly due to the inductance of the pickups And no one will tell you what the inductance of those pickups are The reason it sounds similar is because most telecaster pickups are identical - they have full alnico 5 magnets and 43 gauge wire Some have more or less strength in the magnet and some have a little bit more or less windings brbrThe playability of the instruments are of course due to how well they are made It is unlikely anyone will tell you an objective measurement of how well these instruments are made You will not know how low the action is before it starts buzzing And you will likely not know if the tuning pegs are sufficient on the cheapest model And you will not know if the threat material is strong and will last a long time
Comment from : @valueofnothing2487

It sucks that the og sounds so much worse than the standard
Comment from : @mouthfulacoque3580

I kinda like the performer I’d have to feel the professional to know if it’s worth buying it or modding a cheap build
Comment from : @mouthfulacoque3580

I have a LTD ED Vintera 70’s Telecaster in buttercream It’s the normal S/S layout with custom shop twisted tele pick ups Apparently the neck pick up is Strat-like but l don’t get that vibe from it because it just sounds like a regular tele pick up to me The bridge pick up though is a rocker and snarls and bites like a rabid pit bull on heat
Comment from : @mikeaaron2819

The Elite has definitely taken cues from the Charvels
Comment from : @dcarsondavis

After escaping the jaws of death from Coronavirus my wife said that I should get a Fender custom shop Telecaster What a complete joy to play In every way EDIT*Life's too short to play firewood *
Comment from : @unclefoiley819

I'm trying to choose between a Player Tele and a Fender Deluxe Telecaster Thinline Pau Ferro Fingerboard I'm losing my mind! Please help Any experience comparing the two?
Comment from : @BroZap1

The bass note gets played more as the guitars progress
Comment from : @Hexspa

"an unreasonable amount of Telecaters" False
Comment from : @chriscoulter6089

Vintage stuff you're buying a story, rather than a tool Nobody is buying a chainsaw from 1970 to use because a new one will be way way better, but that old tool may have a cool story or history that adds to its desirability I can't believe that old guitars sound "better" or play "better" than new guitars with new electronics, but I do believe that people want them to sound better because of that storybrbrReally interesting video and good to see all the differences As someone with an unreasonable amount of teles (none) it's great to understand the differences between different models at different price points
Comment from : @paulhudson2293

All the American made fenders since the late 2000s have made in Taiwan tuners, bridges, control plates, input Jacks etc
Comment from : @30smsuperstrat

Trash talking Squier from the 80s? My 87 Squirt strat is better than my Clapton signature series strat, USA 52 reissue Tele etc
Comment from : @Moyetniishiswa2000

Blah blah blah; they all sound like telecasters Folks, find one that feels good in your hands, and stop falling for the marketing boardroom bullshit
Comment from : @butterscotchtele

I've noticed Fender has raised their prices by about 100 dollars on most of their MIM Fdender instruments So why do we keep making crappy guitars in China? Go figure
Comment from : @leascaart

To a guy with a tin ear and a skinny wallet … They all sound remarkably similar… Playability is the main ingredient that separates them
Comment from : @edwinwise6751

Two questions and a comment Question 1: Why is this guy wearing a wool hat indoors? Question 2: Why is he playing nine guitars that are all out of tune (does he not hear it, or doesn't he care)? Comment: All these guitars sound pretty much the same
Comment from : @johnstephen7610

16:23 that cat is a LEGENDbri guess you could say hes a teleCATTER
Comment from : @Sticknub

Nice! I have a Mexican & love it!
Comment from : @stevemorano9317

They all kinds sounded the same to my ears
Comment from : @Stoffendous

American Professional sounds the best and fits my budget
Comment from : @concernedcitizen2898

Nothin wrong with the classic vibe series
Comment from : @shaalis

Is the difference between the Vintera and Road Worn only the aging or is there more to it?
Comment from : @AC-oy3cq

What about the mim standard?
Comment from : @stevennaxer1260

12:47 - Ten years gone 🥰
Comment from : @dareddevil

What about the Vintera series? They're my favorite! Custom shop designed pickups, S switch, 4 way toggle, soft V neck What more you want?
Comment from : @ipuya

God this really just reinforces my love for low output tele pickups That Vintage and that Custom Shop So good
Comment from : @aleksifradet1654
