At the end of the day they all sound good Comment from : @Stitch-id2ge |
|
Your content is as bad as your playing Comment from : @StevenOyston |
|
The biggest gap is between affiinity and Classic Vibe, the sound differnce above it is purely about which one you like and not which one is better Comment from : @abredzio1272 |
|
Intro music for CSI Comment from : @mkabalistic |
|
That opening was fire! Comment from : @misterfilmguy |
|
A bit pointless without the entry level American Performer Squier, Player 2, Vintera, American Performer, American Professional -that would be a better spread No one realistically is going to buy a Custom Shop or an overpriced niche signature guitar as their first Tele Comment from : @jasonloader8149 |
|
Stubit demonstration with booster and distortion on you can hardly hear the difference so clean tone please all can put noice on Comment from : @arnetoft2108 |
|
i wish i didnt see this video and what you said abiut the custom shop relic guitar there is one in the shop near were i live that is similar and while i havent played it as its in a glass case it looks incredible and now i cant go in there as everyone in there including the customers is an enabler Comment from : @igavehimadollar3354 |
|
The squier classic vibe telecaster, is it the 50's,60's or 70's one thanks Comment from : @sootyfoot |
|
I just got a squire telecaster affinity and despite being a cheapie its still a pretty darn good guitar 😂 Comment from : @jakkbatt4711 |
|
What about the affinity series tele?you've missed that modelI own a squire j5 signature tele it's awesome! Comment from : @Sarcybloke |
|
6:05 I just ordered me a Butterscotch Blonde based on your recommendation Excited to get it Thanks for your work on reviewing things Comment from : @Gracebeliever077 |

Buy Dan Earlwines book, buy the Squire and learn to setup a guitarThanks Rhett Comment from : @sgholt |
|
Hate the relic concept I have 3 teles although only one Fender Two G&Ls and one American rosewood with nocaster pickups All are different hard to say which is best Comment from : @thomasmorse4042 |
|
The $400 difference between the vintage squier and the fender player is the fender hand a standardization which is easier to find parts if you want to mod it Comment from : @Sinister_Scotty |
|
what's with the movie production intro though? Comment from : @blueterrace |
|
Great video,it was like a pink floyd experience Comment from : @deanjekic8201 |
|
"What is a Telecaster like?" Nobody knows, there's a gazillion models, so it doesn't strand for anything anymore Comment from : @svendtveskg5719 |
|
Too bad you didn't include the Fender performer It's right in between the player and the Isbell I think it lists for 144900 Comment from : @chizmo7 |
|
Sound on that Joe Walsh intro: Squire sounded great! Comment from : @magustacrae |
|
Have to say - the $199 china squire sounded best Ugly it may be, playability untold, it sounded sweet Comment from : @jasonluke4957 |
|
Definitely not sponsored Thanks GWUF with talent Comment from : @Dragon_rls |
|
a $1609 dollar mexican made tele what has the world come to! Comment from : @Tonesnob72 |
|
Once i picked one up and always like strats bell like tones but with the fat bottom end i was hooked You can’t go wrong 0:01 with Suhr telecaster I’d stay away from Fender relics hear ritchie kotzen tele is good but neck is like a louisville slugger cut in half Comment from : @Tonesnob72 |
|
The $19999 Squier I bought plays pretty smooth Comment from : @johnshelton8441 |
|
I love the back to back play through at the 3:00 min mark Thats how comparions should be made - back to back, no cuts, not holding the chord/note to let it ring out before the switch If i wasnt paying attention, i wouldnt have even picked there was a change between some of them Nice work! Comment from : @ApektadongAbusado1 |
|
I love Teles I have about 12 of them including a Player series and the Jason Isbel which is one of my favorites I also really love the Fender Ultra series and the Am Pro IIsbrII Comment from : @merrileeburoker3689 |
|
Go to a guitar shop, play every flavour of tele, see which neck feels best, buy it and take it to a tech for a setup, change the pickups (if that’s what tickles you) and enjoy the ride 😊 Comment from : @astrums99 |
|
I really hate relic guitars, they're just a big lie ! Comment from : @jodyWalker-z4c |
|
The Player Series sucks I think The alnico pups sound terrible in this, the neck is too tinny, feels not right I kept my MIM Standard instead with pup upgrades and new frets Comment from : @ymelfilm |
|
All of them sound good Comment from : @blastingcapps4341 |
|
Just buy any "vibe" series tele, spend a little extra on a used USA neck, and no-one will ever know the difference Comment from : @YippeeSkippie426 |
|
Nice review Have been looking at the performer series, which were on sale during the holidays, but after seeing this review I’m pondering the Squire Classic series The translucent finish on those are really nice Comment from : @jfj794 |
|
Why did you not have an American Standard in the mix? Matter of fact, the only American telly you had was the relic $5400 model Why no other American? Thanks Comment from : @GregoryTubb |
|
Any thinline recommendations? Comment from : @tylerlovejoy992 |
|
Awesome review Rhett! You made all of the guitars sound Great! What p and any pedals are you using? Subscribed and liked!!! Comment from : @wetherbeephoto-lt2id |
|
The opening sequence felt like it was from an episode of Miami Vice Comment from : @Gracebeliever077 |
|
Man this intro song is just beautiful! Nice one Rhett! Comment from : @engagekillftw |
|
As a metal guitarist looking to broaden my horizons, this video is super useful, thanks Comment from : @zombieskurge2193 |
|
Plot twist… the basic cheap squire is MILES ahead in quality of the first original tele made in the 50’s😂😂😂 Comment from : @Laheyfinegoods |
|
That's one thing about the Telecaster I bought one years ago for 300$ and told my friends who play guitar that it cost 1200$, and the answer was always something like “yes, you can hear that” 😇 Comment from : @randydarklight |
|
I just commented on your page about the american performer! via my wifes youtube account what are your thoughts on the american performer teleand if you think its a good choice, to go ss or HShumbucker in neck position? Comment from : @justinmaitland3762 |
|
im trying to find a tele and I like the price and look of the american performer telebut im not sure what are yout thoughts? im trying to keep under $1500 I like the option the give with a HS, H in neck that can be tapped to single or id be happy with just a SS Comment from : @amandamaitland42 |
|
I would have ranked them the same way as you did Good job, excellent video Comment from : @MultiScoffer |
|
I don't really understand videos like this It's like, "Ok, so I know that if I'm a brand-wh0re for Fender, I know what to get" but there's so much more out there than just Fender and it makes the scope of the video so narrowbrbrIt's just my opinion but I think that looking at what's out there across all brands and choosing a price point that has the most guitars in its vicinity would be even more useful than just comparing Fenders There are so many other non-Fender Teles out there that are of great quality, great value or both like (in alphabetical order):brbrChapman ML3brCharvel SoCalbrDean NashVegasbrESP TEbrIbanez NDM / AZSbrG&L ASATbrGodin Stadium/RadiumbrMusic Man AxisbrPRS NF53brReverend EastsiderbrSchecter PTbrWashburn IdolbrbrBrand doesn't matter nearly as much as the experience it gives you Don't get me wrong, the video was very well done and I gave it a like I just wanted to mention that looking at only one brand is borderline pointless It's just the video equivalent of a Fender circle-jerk I have nothing against Fender, I think that the Strat is the greatest guitar design ever invented, i would say the same thing about being focused on only one guitar maker regardless of whom Comment from : @AvroBellow |
|
Rhett shule is a great guitar player, I have the same black and white tele squire it's just a great guitar but Rhett you have the greatest tone when you play, just amazing Comment from : @warrenvollaro2529 |
|
That intro sounded like it belonged in the movie Labyrinth! 👍 Comment from : @boosk2127 |
|
I got the MIM Deluxe Nashville Tele in 2001 Love it to this day Comment from : @kurtfroberg3608 |
|
That rack it wouldn't matter what you play but I appreciate your steeple Comment from : @DavidCervin |
|
Thank you for another video! If I am to buy one of these, it would be Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster It seems a good value for money Comment from : @juhamikkonen |
|
725" radius and 42mm nut width is a deal breaker for anyone with large hands on the Isbell Needs 95" radius, swamp ash body and 43-435mm nut width and SS Plek’d frets I had to build one ‘cuz Fender doesn’t Comment from : @stevetrembley1806 |
|
Thanks for Comment from : @gerrittenberkdeboer7763 |
|
Incredibly insightful video, Thank you! Comment from : @hunterkubat4805 |
|
As a prog fan, best video yet Comment from : @josephalvarnas2333 |
|
Thank youI'm needing a tele and I've wondered about Squire playability at that priceI will probably go for a Squire Comment from : @LeonardLangford |
|
Cheap guitars tend to be super heavy Cheaper guitars like Squier are actually lighter in weight lol But Custom Shop Fender teles are definitely next level I just got a CS Broadcaster and I've never played anything like it It's absolutely amazing and weighs 72lbs Easy on my back Comment from : @jacey714 |
|
You don't buy a Vespa from Vietnam Comment from : @valentindegen |
|
Strange that the price doubles on each upgrade Comment from : @davidlouis2354 |
|
Classic vibe all day Comment from : @BigJoe173 |
|
sometimes I watch your channel just to justify buying a custom shop gibson or fender, thanks rhett, now I’m broke Comment from : @fezzard |
|
Just brought home a Custom Shop 52 yesterday A beast Comment from : @deanmccaskill5495 |
|
$19999 is King Comment from : @abc2abc2abc |
|
Get a harley benton TE for $150brPlays like a real fender Comment from : @adamguinnmusic5871 |
|
If you wanna learn guitar, and you don’t have the financial means, ignore him saying he can’t recommend an Affinity, because of the fret ends, pickups, etc A Squier Affinity is LIGHTYEARS better quality, than the first guitars of A LOT of your favorite guitarists Comment from : @sferguson1130 |
|
It took me 48 years to finally get a Tele, I bought a $360 ( Aus) Kapok Tele from China It's a mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, it's got 2 humbuckers (overwound) with coil splits via the push-pull tone control, it has a 2 point Strat bridge with the back routed for the claw and springs Its got a tobacco sunburst top with top binding, the back and sides of the body are stained red and the body has a belly cut and an arm chamfer, obviously hand sanded, it weighs around 7 pounds It's the most comfortable guitar I have ever played, the neck is modern C slim taper, medium jumbo frets, small volute under the nut The pickups are darker than my Strats but through a Korg Pandora multi fx or a Strymon Sunset O/D it sounds great Best deal I ever got playing music, cheers from Sydney Australia! Comment from : @AndrewTait-f2w |
|
Can someone please tell me the song that Rhett is playing while testing out the different teles ? Comment from : @Zerorjcrystal |
|
Rhett that 80s Miami Vice Style synth intro was fucking beautiful Comment from : @grantandersen |
|
I m wite you ,tanto you , Comment from : @moysesjimenezgonzalez-1159 |
|
They all sound the same 🤠 Infact the $200 version sounds the best Comment from : @Bikecampcook |
|
without buying a real crappy replica of a Tele, a decent Squier Classic Vibe with the proper SET-UP will sound and play as good as any Fender telecaster and cost half the price Comment from : @eugenejoseph7076 |
|
Have i missed any notes on how the audio was processed here for this video comparison? Comment from : @Grindstaff09 |
|
I ruined my low end squire by "upgrading" the pickups Comment from : @Grindstaff09 |
|
That Jason Isbell Tele scores pretty much all the points for a Tele in my book Seems like a lovely guitar! Comment from : @henrikpetersson3463 |
|
Relicking is the work of Satan Be gone from me, foul demons Comment from : @dionsorrell |
|
I love your intro music It reminds me a bit of Pink Floyd's “A momentary lapse of reason”brbr👍 Comment from : @bombseb |
|
My $20000 Southern Acoustics Tele plays and sounds fine Comment from : @Nazman06 |
|
I just got an overstocked color (2-tone) Player Telecaster on sale, since the Player 2s have come out It's simply good cheap kit Happy Wednesday ya'llz Comment from : @jimicunningable |
|
Thanks, Rhett! Love that high end squire is better than base MIM, Fender should improve the MIM and lower its price Comment from : @kosmicwizard |
|
This needs a ultra 2 Comment from : @sicilianmammalian |
|
Wish you would have reviewed the Ultra Tele’ I bought one a year ago in blue and out of the box it was perfectly tuned The neck is satin and fast Has a unique shaped neck that changes curve at the top to more flat at bottom Love it Under 2K Has brass individual saddles with chrome overlay to match styling S1 switches, double cut outs in back, locking tuners and strap nuts Comment from : @remoteseer62 |
|
You really can’t go wrong with a telecaster man🙌 Comment from : @TheHunter77632 |
|
Picking a guitar depends on weather your actually buying it with your own money or it's a sponsored 'gift'in which case,go for the big bucks🤭 Comment from : @geoffreyalder7275 |
|
There must be 15-20 guitar channels making videos on budget guitars, and when Fojill, Glarry and even Ktaxon have better necks and frets than the Squier Sonic, I'm not sure who it's marketed too? br The Debut series isn't better than any of the 3 above either br Long story short😂, guitars under $100 shouldn't have better necks than the Sonic series Comment from : @suplexcities |
|
Just bought a used Squire classic vibe with Fender pickups and compensated brass saddles for $300 just to see if I like playing teles Among my Ibanez, Gibson, Epiphone and a couple of Höfners it now ranks #1 Loved this video too! Comment from : @christervinjegimse4445 |
|
I think your honest opinion on the player vs the squire classic was extremely helpful!! I don't own a tele (yet) and have been trying to figure out which model might best suit my needs I think I'm going to save up some funds and go for one of the higher cost ones from this video! Thanks!! Comment from : @REDOPTICALCORP |
|
I think all depends about amp Good amp and every Telecaster works fine Comment from : @hrvoje319 |
|
I went and played all the teles in my area and the best one I could find says ESP ON the head Used, loaded w/ EMGs Single coil bridge, humbucker at the neck Bundled w/40 watt Marshall tube amp $11oo for both Been playing guitar since mid 80s and I'd say this was one of the best deals I've ever got Comment from : @NOBodYnose022 |
|
The classic vibe are great guitars Especially if you’re like me and paranoid about your guitars getting stolen lol Ide rather have $500 stolen opposed to $2,000 Both are going to hurt but one less sobrbrWith that said, my favorite sounding was the Jason Isbell with the classic vibe behind it I never like the sound of the custom shop stuff I’m not sure why Comment from : @wheresallthezombies |
|
I own a thirty year old 52 reissue Never played a tele I liked better Comment from : @bolt4694 |
|
Just by the color and binding I knew that was the Isbell tele Been thinking about getting one for a while now and I think it’s about time after this video Comment from : @patstevens4560 |
