Hi Colin, you're right 'the best' is difficult, you'd have to play them all, for me just on looks the squire hands down, sound wise the GL and the Sire get my vote Great video

ngl really like the sire's neck

Syd! Sort de ce corps !
Comment from : @darkside-qu7pu

Interesting that the Squier Classic Vibe pickups had higher output than all the Tele style guitars except the Fender
Comment from : @markcaserta1367

I can't believe the Squier Classic Vibe pickups are hotter than the G&L ASAT In fact, the Classic Vibe was the second hottest behind the Fender Amazing!
Comment from : @markcaserta1367

I like the Classic Vibe and the Tokai Why? Because, I have both LOL
Comment from : @markcaserta1367

Tokai wins hands down, but I like the Squier paint job
Comment from : @shanewalton8888

Is the classic vibe in this video the same as the Classic vibe 60’s custom telecaster sunburst? If it ain’t can you do a review on it? Thanks, love your channel!
Comment from : @miguelfrias2650

That G and L guitar for near £400 really should have an Alder or Ash body at that price
Comment from : @chrisayres5050

Am I the only one that has a sneaky suspicion that fender sell all the companies Tele bodies as they all seem to weigh on average the same weight I mean obviously Fender sell Squire the real bodies
Comment from : @RonJames-rb7eg

How does youtube treat you playing Syds Music when i played a pink song the told me any ad rev would go to the music creator not that im bothered really as im not monitosed or would never recieve ££ revenue atm
Comment from : @goingwildagain

I enjoy your reviews…the open line sums it up…5 different guitars 5 different sounds…interpretation of a Tele…and that’s why I’m going to splash some cash and get a genuine FenderbrI’m going to save and get a Performer or a Pro2…and keep it till I drop ❤
Comment from : @svitlanaostapchenko5642

I have a G&L COMMEMORATIVE (May 1993) fitted with the MFD Pickups touted as Leo Fender’s Greatest Innovation So G&L was Leo's last design don't refer to Fender as the real deal, they aren't What do I prefer? The guitar that I have hanging on my wall
Comment from : @TonyBurke100

Please make a video with FGN tele!

Fender: There's only one Telecaster
Comment from : @dpajc056

Trying to decide between tthe affordable G&L tele, or the more expensive fullerton one
Comment from : @RobLeeMusicLLC

Did i hear early Pink Floyd at 19 min mark ? Thats so awesome , You dont hear that in guitar shops nowadays sadly
Comment from : @Cayres9

I think you could make a plank of any wood with six strings sound great
Comment from : @auraman1000

Please consider doing a comparison of the various Slimline Telecaster-style guitars I'd like to get your take on them The really inexpensive Glarry's et al, the Squiers, and the Fenders I'll be purchasing a Squier 70's Vibe this week but I'd still enjoy a comparison of them all
Comment from : @pavil58yt

27:04 it looks right Right name on the headstock I know how irrational that sounds but if we are honest with ourselves, it’s our mentality that affects our playing the most If we have a perfect tele but it doesn’t say fender on it that can bug you even while playing it Because you know it’s supposed to say fender
Comment from : @Earthwormjimm

There is only one company making Telecasters, and it's called FENDER
Comment from : @voiceofexperience

Im actually looking at a Michael Kelley from Korea any thoughts??
Comment from : @dangatton7138

sorry, but the sire's look like ass great guitars
Comment from : @ratbird3290

There is a tone knob for the brightness
Comment from : @multipipi1234

"Lime and limpid green, a second scene " ✌Great review! 👍 By the way, in appearance you have some David Gilmour vibes too
Comment from : @rogereriksen726

Interesting Love the new colors So I got a Sherwood Green Tele I changed the bridge with a lil59 That thing is a weapon of war
Comment from : @bryanmchugh1307

Like the Sire sound ❤
Comment from : @QXZJX

Bought used Affinity Tele 20 years ago, fallen over loads, left out in rain in garden, still plays/works as it should❤
Comment from : @QXZJX

I have just bought a Player Series Tele and Strat No regrets!
Comment from : @sbai4319

G&L I have 2 teles and a Comanche
Comment from : @jarmstrong25

An interesting comparison I have a Squire thin line Tele but I have been thinking about a Sire T7 or maybe a T3 even I can add locking tuners to a T3 for a lot less than the $250 price difference The problem with Sires for me is I have only ever seen one in a guitar shop It was the H7 and I was really impressed with the neck and the overall fit and finish but I would still rather put my hands on a guitar before I buy it With that in mind, I could probably pretty easily get my hands on the Fender and the Squire in a shop so I would probably end up with one of those, although I would rather have the locking tuners from the Sire I don’t see any he others in stores
Comment from : @davva360

T7 for me
Comment from : @brianepaulson

brilliant video as always 👍 have you seen the new levinson sceptre model? stainless steel frets and roasted maple necks, would love to see it compared to the arsehat 😆

I’m tired of looking and not being able to make up my mind You’re going to do it today with this video!

Comment from : @Stoobers

So which one should i get?

Decided to subscribe at 5:35 😀
Comment from : @Allie-w1l

the Schecter Nick Johnston PT model kicks their collective butts Features an ebony board with 14" radius, locking tuners, neck humbucker with coil tap, alder body, etc Strung with Thomastik 011's gets a heaven sound (Ed Bickert was/is my hero I'm not a 'bender')
Comment from : @freddymclain

HI I'm thinking of buying an electric guitar Never played a guitarbut I would like to trybrI like the telecaster a lot but I don't want to spend a fortunebrI was looking at these three: Squire Telecaster Classic Vibe 50, Squire Telecaster Classic Vibe 60 Custom and the G&L ASATbrWhich one do you recommend?
Comment from : @mickeyddbb55

I keep coming back to the Sire for its out of the box playability
Comment from : @garywinters2282

G&L for me Totally
Comment from : @JoshuaPolak

You forgot harley Benton
Comment from : @Dragon_rls

My favorites either the Sire or G&LLove the Sire roasted maple, rolled edge /neck/fingerboard and locking tuners Also love your playing Barretts's Astronomy Domaine !

Comment from : @Charlieboy2680

Having had a CV Tele I can vouch for them being rock solid Mine even had a flamed maple neck Neck was a bit thin for my liking though The g and l looks very nice especially with the cutout
Comment from : @steveo44

Brilliant comparison review, I went and bought the Fender on the back of it I thought it had a bit more guts but not much to be fair Many Thanks 👍
Comment from : @SilentSiDA

I love the playing of Astronomy Domine at the beginning!

Спасибо Дед)
Comment from : @WOLDEMARS8

I dunno how many times I've watched this awesome vid I'm dying to add a Tele to my collection I'm really into the G&L tribute asat classic and special I like the pickups and the history of the brand Not 100 percent convinced about the 'non traditional tonewoods' mainly because I find it hard to accept cheaper woods in a guitar at this price Also, for some reason G&L are quite expensive in Europe as far as I've seen I can get a Sire t7 or a mint second hand fender player tele for 100 eur less than the G&L Only thing that doesn't convince me about the fender is the non traditional bridge Unfortunately I have to buy online and cannot try the guitars Any guidance welcome My current fav guitar is a fender player strat So I'm not really interested in a strat-like Tele if you know what I mean
Comment from : @powellchristopher

Schecter PT Special for the win
Comment from : @Dansan84

It seems everyone would agree Every time there's a list that involves anything G&L they take the win Leo REALLY left a legacy in his last run
Comment from : @MatthaeusEbonah

Colin, your “whole lotta luv” sequence made me smile like a fool, thank you
Comment from : @howardmaryon

One of the things that keeps me coming back to your channel is how you demonstrate a guitar by actually playing music on it, and pretty damn good too No flashy twiddley twiddley, just nice fat chords and interesting progressions - actually music
Comment from : @howardmaryon

The best thing about this review is listening to you play It's gorgeous
Comment from : @X-boomer

Is any diff in sound between diff body woods for G&l tribute asat classic?
Comment from : @alexgochman6654

Nice roundup and comparison - inspired choice of tunes - esp Syd! 😎
Comment from : @pedalscapes

What a pleasure to have a such good video ! Cool, friendly, interesting, and the choice of this old Pink Floyd to start : oh yes !
Comment from : @Hagchtogow

Hey Colin, nice tele comparison video 👍br I'm a new subscriber just catching up Have recently decided to learn the guitar and bought myself an all black Squier Custom II tele with dual Duncan P90's and love it to bits ❤brKeep uo the good work dude 🤘😎
Comment from : @philcramman1

My rating is #1 squire,#2 G&L asat, #3 Fender
Comment from : @str8shooter159

I took the little top hat cap off of the switch on my tele, I think 16 years ago It’s never gone back on, and I’ve not missed it one bit 😂
Comment from : @sauce_aux

I like this video good choice of tunes I dig the cv and the asat
Comment from : @steveokon5431

That Shite Swtich cap/tip you can shove some Poster sticky tack putty in it with a toothpick until it's packed deep in the cap and press it gently onto the switch under it can't be pressed down any further and that cap won't come off, and if you need to pull it off to remove and swap out the switch to fix or mod you can still do so with ease I hope that helps anyone out that that also has the issue
Comment from : @TeeFetch

often finding myself come back to this video just to listen to 8:38
Comment from : @jonah7215

Thank u 4 the review, splicing hairs on the different teles it is a joyfull way to go Each its own I loved the darkness of the tokai and the tele player

Amazing playing Great reviewbrAt the 9:07 mark on the Squire and onward, you sound like Mark KnoflerbrJust great
Comment from : @NLRider-i1m

I gotta go with the Fender, that fat soundI'm not a brand snob
Comment from : @stroker93

As someone that owns a Schecter PT Special, I’d go with the Sire T7 It was brightest and would sound great for chickn pickn country, rockabilly and Americana which is what I’m mostly into…
Comment from : @jc6721

Good

Comment from : @yanblondin7490

Btw my 2019 Fender Vintera 60s modified Tele in Lake Placid Blue arrived and it's an absolute game changer for me but you and other real Tele guys are prob familiar with the Baja Teles that had the same circuitry 4 way switching for series/parallel and the s1 switch to go out of phaseWeight's not too bad at 8lb 2 oz Have you played one of these mate ?If so what did you think ?
Comment from : @Dave062YT

Greetings from Hungary! Just wanted to say what a wonderful comparison video you've made I recently watched your video on the ASAT and enjoyed that too Nice playing to boot and great cuts/edits
Comment from : @hearpalhere

they are all very good id throw a harley Benton in the mix bet nobody would notice im about to purchase a tele im utterly lost as to what one i do enjoy my cheapo guitars tho
Comment from : @pmay222

The Tokai looks almost exactly like how I've modified my telecaster, so I have a bias towards the looks of that one Doesn't sound very tele like, but I agree it has a very nice sound of its own The Squier looks so good and sounds so good, at least coming through my speakers was my favorite tone Would definitely be my first choice Beautiful brightness without being too shrill I wasn't crazy about any of the others tones including the real Fender The Sire and G&L just look too different for me, but I think I am listening with my eyes Great video and very nice tele collection coming together!
Comment from : @bpastorb

I love the Squier in that color and I believe that the pickups were a bit less impressive because they are wound to more closely match the sound of an early 1960’s Telecaster and the others in the bunch weren’t trying to replicate the sound of that era and thus had more leeway in which pickups they wanted to use As for me, I’m all in on picking up one of those CV FSR models in that same olive color Love the double binding on that rig
Comment from : @coreycallahan7443

Squier cv with dodgy pickups for swapping
Comment from : @antipodesman2

I have watched several of your reviews I really like them, in how you go through the details in your style and viewpoints ❤
Comment from : @jimcrews8951

Really enjoyed this video, but still torn between the G&L and the player

One question: and between Sire T7 and T Joe Strummer relic?
Comment from : @massimilianodestefano3810

I could be splitting hair but I think I like the G&L tone the best
Comment from : @dananthony6258

I’m a hard sell I finally subscribed because I’ve seen a lot of cool video from this guy now He’s the kind of guy you take to guitar center with you when you’re buying something new
Comment from : @dananthony6258

Always good reviewsthanks
Comment from : @chiefkikyerass7188

Have you had the chance to try the squier telecaster 40th anniversary? I ordered it 277 euros so not much to say about that, I lacked a tele, really never had one I see what seems to be the same guitar sometimes as the 40th anniversary, sometimes as the vintage It is the blonde one with the anodized pickguard and binding Cheers
