I have 12 Telespups are VERY important if you want a world-class tone MIM sound finebut a set of Fralin/Lollar/NoCaster will truly improve the tonality in a BIG way Even my HarleyBentons with boutique pups sound as good as any MIA Teleassuming you're playing thru a great amp Also, disconnect the tone pot from the neck pup to get even better tonemore output and clarity
Comment from : @lazvt8469

proud owner of one of these they are crazy solid and great value I hear a lot of negative stuff about standard pickups but they sound OK to me
Comment from : @hoisin75

You keep saying the Mexican made Teles aren't Telecasters Wrong Fender owns and operates both factories and they are literally an hour away from each other Fender opened a shop in MX to save on labor The products are equal and in some cases, like the Baja Tele, better And Johnny Cash never played a Tele

Comment from : @RobSmith-rn3ie

how is the weight ?

Bill Kirchen came up with the idea of swapping the controls for volume and tone,with the switch on the back endThis setup makes it easier to do volume swells that Kirchen has been known for throughout the yearsInvented this setup when he started using the Fender Telecaster

How do I search for one of these,,whats my search criteria?
Comment from : @billlegakis9155

Hey Jimmy! Thanks for the info Thanks for sharing I would love to buy that kind of guitar but the problem is ash bodies are hard to find nowadays If you have a suggestion, that would be much appreciated thank you!
Comment from : @john-acellera

I bought one in 2016/2017 at guitar center on sale for $55000 My favorite guitar and I find myself going to it over some of my more expensive tele's I think Guitar Center was the dealer for the FSR could be wrong
Comment from : @forcemajeur5138

anyone know the exact model of this guys guitar?
Comment from : @LAMethWitch

I have a 2014 Fender Tele FSR just like yoursI bought it new in 2019 from Guitar CenterI had them set it up and put flat wound strings on it,10-46sI haven’t changed a thing on this guitar,it plecked out perfectly and stays in tune incrediblyI’ll never part with this one everI can’t say anything about this one that’s negative,but that’s just meYes,I do have some other great guitars that are high dollar,but why pay $2000 for a Tele when I have one that suits me fine for $600
Comment from : @coaltrain4423

All the best picker's play tele's
Comment from : @johndaugherty4127

Awww man That’s my song in the beginning of your video I’m a Tele player through & through Thanks!
Comment from : @djwmusic

Around the same year they made the double cut tele, another nice one !
Comment from : @mikemph7779

Because the wife wanted your pipe! That must have been some good guitar playing!!
Comment from : @danwhite7678

This was a run for musicians friend and guitar center I used to have one in a cherry sun burst Sold it and always regretted it! I have a few teles still but none like this one Sweet axe
Comment from : @ricklynn6176

I have this exact guitar I had a 52 reissue, but I like this FSR better Great Tele got mine in mint condition for $350 used
Comment from : @mrartistbill

Thanks, I just bought one
Comment from : @stevenwhite7969

That's a Guitar Center FSR Tele I had one and sold it Wish I still had it now It's truly a great Tele
Comment from : @tjatkinson88

Was that a little “Majesty” I heard there around 7:50?
Comment from : @shguitarworks3309

Some of the early telecaster bodies were pine
Comment from : @davidharvey8812

The deluxe baja telecaster was an even better deal Also hard to find
Comment from : @jacobbrown1690

How much would you give for this guitar IF you'd had to BUY IT?
Comment from : @G3N13music

The original and STILL the most versatile guitar The Tele was a miracle in wood & wire
Comment from : @voiceofexperience

I picked up a squier affinity telehad a good friend of mine put in some new hardware and wham bam thank you ma'am sings whenever I play it
Comment from : @paulgentile1024

Comment from : @adrianpontvikzvejnieks2860

The Baja is the best value tele ever
Comment from : @michaelwoolley1913

Brass saddles, bone nut, maybe locking tuners… other than that what would you need?
Comment from : @phunkyjunkee

That’s some sick chicken pickin my man!
Comment from : @phunkyjunkee

I have a 1965 tele, left to me by my friend It was refinished in the early 70s with (get this) yacht varnish!!! Do you think I should have it refinished professionally I love my Tele and will never sell it But the finish is crap Love your channel
Comment from : @1grobbo

I have one the early MIM Deluxe Nashville Telecasters with the strat pick up in the middle I bought for the versatility and the guy bought and didn't like it so he sold it to me on ebay for 350 and it was like brand new i learned real fast that it was popping D strings Not uncommon with MIM guitars I took to my friend Bill Crook of ?Crook Custom guitars and had the proper files for the saddles He set it up for me and corrected the issue so he could take it apart and see what was inside it I was fine with that lol They are selling for 800 and up now Doesn't cover the humbucker zone though but it sounds great and doesn't toss a bunch of hum either It's remarkably quiet for single coils they have certainly done some shielding work on them and I can use it for a cutting board in a pinch lol
Comment from : @monmixer

First solid body ever Most simple design and most important for rock because of the feedback control for rock and obviously those are the number one guitar for true country players The strat is obviously the most desired blues players instrument
Comment from : @monmixer

Just got a Bullet Tele, happy with it
Comment from : @alexvieira7945

Love the RHCP licks
Comment from : @pupmusic2281

You know your student really hated his wife at that moment! brJk, but thats an awesome tele They feel so much nicer to me than anything
Comment from : @RByrne

Good twang?
Comment from : @wilburwokeii8298

For 150 bucks I picked up a affinity Tele it was totally worth for the money you cannot go wrong I bought a new SD pick up for it I play the guitar a lot almost everyday If I had 700 bucks I would get one of those FSR what ever I like both brands of guitars Gibson and Fender Gibson has a shorter scale and fender has a longer scale If you got the money buy a lot of guitars I love them all
Comment from : @shartne

Comment from : @simonhawker9277

Great playing
Comment from : @edwardsmith9801

Its not ridiculous, my MIM nashville tele was $490 brand new in 2006
Comment from : @guitarandotherthings6090

I'm sorry That's a fairly good sounding Tele, but that's all There's nothing special about the way it sounds
Comment from : @martimdesouzajunior7585

I feel you bro ✔️brbrI just can’t do without my beloved Baja 50s 2018… monster guitar 🎸
Comment from : @elcentinela1000

My G&L Asat special tribute with an Ash body, satin neck is the best for the money Hands Down I do love the sound of your TELE But you’d love my G&L
Comment from : @hairnation68

Thank you
Comment from : @GaveMeGrace1

Thats awesome, I flip my control plate too
Comment from : @somedude3601

If you notice that Luther Perkins had his revamped with the Strat style bridge with brass individual saddles for each string! I wonder why Fender never made him a signature guitar! Refresh my memory did they make signature guitars in the 50's?
Comment from : @phillipholt6005

Nice to have the truss rod adjustment slot on the headstock
Comment from : @dodjiegarcia2320

Is the player series comparable to the fsr? I’m getting back into the guitar after a decade of not playing and I’m really wanting to get a Tele but the different series are making me unsure what it is I’m needing I hope to play a lot of rock music from Led Zeppelin and The Doors to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam if that helps narrow it down I also don’t want to break the bank so that’s why i was looking into the Player or HH series Thanks for the great video!
Comment from : @11bangbang402

johns wife is awesome
Comment from : @travgpeters1

Comment from : @abelmf

2017 American Pro Telecaster here It's my first higher-end guitar I bought brand new I love the guitar a lot When I play it I have a PRS tube amp and an assortment of boost and drive and distortion pedals and I am super surprised at the sounds I get out of it I'll hit a chord and in my head, I'm like that's that sound! (something a band played that I've always wondered how they got their guitar to sound that way) It's super inspiring
Comment from : @Robster-Craw

That tele sounds great i bought a squire bullet tele and i hate it lol I should have saved my money and bought a real one
Comment from : @belzedar997

I have this one Stock ceramic pickups were not great, not very dynamic and not very Tele-like I put 51 Nocaster CS pickups in it, swapped the control plate back to normal, put Gotoh compensated saddles on it and swapped the tuners to the classic gear tuners brbrThe Nocasters absolutely transformed it I don’t think the ash makes an ounce of difference to the tone but it weighs about 7 lbs so it’s lighter, which is nice The pick guard mounted neck pickup and the truss rod adjuster on the headstock isn’t vintage style but both are more convenient for adjusting brbrThinking of a bone nut Despite all the talk of it feeling like a US made one it’s not really the same The neck is gloss on the back and the edges aren’t nice and rolled like a US Pro guitar would be But, it’s a nice enough neck brbrThe colour on the body is not really great, too orange Would have preferred a more blonde look like the originals But, it’s not an expensive guitar brbrWill I keep it? Probably My kids will end up with it If I find a custom shop guitar that I like I’d prefer that Not a fan of the polyester body, especially
Comment from : @jimmythefish

Yeeee Haaaaw! "Hot piece of ash", I see what you did there! Devin Townsend is a fan of the Tele, tunes open C, low tuning definitely holds Good video and playing Keep 'em coming!
