My choice is a stratbrI have two and they are worlds different in sound from each other One has a very buttery smooth rock and roll distortion, and the other while having hotter pickups, excels in the mildly overdriven category and the clean tones are exquisite Picking either up is like a dream, but the first of the two mentioned has a more solid feel and has a smoother finish cold to the touch The latter feels softer and has deluxe trem A maple neck on any strat for me is an absolute must have So much faster neck for me, but some people would prefer rosewood

Les Paul jr

Forever and always a tele!
Comment from : @jaffhom1873

at least it's not an ugly less paul, so can I get behind this idea
Comment from : @neilfordan

you don't tell me what to do
Comment from : @neilfordan

I literally opened up youtube cause I've been contemplating getting a tele for a little while, even though i'm into metal this video was top of my list, guess I gotta go get that texas tea I was looking at yesterday lol
Comment from : @FrankPapadakis

Which particular Model is that? Thanx :)
Comment from : @klemensrack5906

Tele or 335?
Comment from : @DanCThorpe

What's that riff on 2:10?
Comment from : @АртёмСалахетдинов-ь9в

P90's SG Comfy Crunchy Goodness I love a les paul and telly but they're uncomfortable man Maybe a 335 but there MASSIVE
Comment from : @Duarenteed

You had me at “blue collar guitar”
Comment from : @joshj9177

Once you go tele you won’t go back
Comment from : @matthewmaki

I think the Guitar Hero guitar is the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!
Comment from : @Sftd1973

You can make a Tele sound like any other guitar, but no other guitar sounds like a Tele
Comment from : @jaco5187

Played one in GC today So I'm going to buy one from my local music store
Comment from : @Skinnyorangemusic

You've made another video on basically the same idea, stating that one and only guitar should be the Gibson semi hollow your parents bought you as a gift :)
Comment from : @8ogdan701

I can really use my Strat for almost every Style
Comment from : @mcfek8295

Despite being a strat guy, i 100 agree Just made my cheapest guitar (squier affinity tele) in the fleet of 25 guitars my primary gig machine it does everything i need it to and its so cheap i can abuse it with no regrets
Comment from : @ApektadongAbusado1

Me gustan las Stratocaster pero Telecaster es la guitarra más versátil, se puede tocar rock,blues ,metal ,pop ,es increíble como un instrumento tan simple lanzado en 1951 logre todo eso
Comment from : @elconquistador6795

Surely it has to be the Stratocaster, I use the whammy for Hendrix stuff and no telecaster is doing that
Comment from : @DK-ys9yn

Great video, thank you
Comment from : @44johnson44

I have to agree with youI have had countless guitars and always come back to 2 styles#1 the tele and #2 a single humbucker superstrat style(currently a Kramer Baretta Snake Sabo)
Comment from : @samuelstrickland3678

The Telecaster is the essential, classic sound of the "electric guitar"
Comment from : @edsulla1186

No, you can't just have a telecaster lol because if you're a musician that plays electric guitar, you're still also going need an acoustic guitar, and be able to play it Even the "electric guitar gods" play acoustic😂
Comment from : @shipsahoy1793

I just got an Affinity series Squier Tele, it has a belly cuti love it
Comment from : @TotoReyes16

I need a single coil guitar, and I hate how close the volume knob is to the high e string on the strat; it makes it all but unplayable for me I think the Tele is the way I am going
Comment from : @bennettmatte

I was gifted a ‘73 Tele from my friends widow after he passed and I don’t even touch any of my other electrics now because it continually blows me away with playability, monster tone and staying in tune I only pick up my strat next to my chair upstairs to noodle on unplugged when watching tv My first tele and at ‘73 I should have been slapped into next year for being stupid
Comment from : @helodaze

HSS Strat win 🎸
Comment from : @TulkasThe1

For me it would be an HSH Ibanez with a floyd rosebrSo an RG550
Comment from : @TiagoMorbusSa

What pickups are in this guitar? That neck pickup sounds great!
Comment from : @mrcurtis73

I've just ordered my first Telecaster - still waiting for its arrival - But I want to know how the Strat isn't the most versatile guitar out there?!
Comment from : @ZEGO24x

In my world there are other guitars but "the one" are my telecasters They are simply the best electric guitar ever made
Comment from : @MsMiki-v2j

If i could only have one guitar it would definatly be a Gibson Explorer
Comment from : @sixstringsensei6673

One bourbon One scotch One Tele
Comment from : @jdleslie8458

Man that tone at around 3:04-3:06 is sweet
Comment from : @jeremeryjett4695

Yep I have a fender Nashville telecaster deluxe with a middle strat pickup so yea 😅
Comment from : @shawnhuff3920

Unless I missed it, what amp are you using - Sounds great - looking for a reasonable priced Tele, this one's looking Good Thanks -
Comment from : @jimlutz1290

Would be nice to even own one 😅
Comment from : @emmanuelwolfmusic410

I had the Epiphone hockey stick headstock tele was first guitar back in 1998 I didn’t like how it sounded so I pawned it to try an get telecaster and never did Still Wish I could own a actual fender telecaster
Comment from : @chriscrooks8617

I use to agree until I got a Casino
Comment from : @StevenSimpson-it5mv

no vibrato bar though
Comment from : @lgmnowkondo938

I’m sorry - The Strat is just more comfortable and can do more things in my opinion
Comment from : @Traditiononamission

A Telecaster Performer and Les Paul Studio cover everything I almost bought an ES-335 until I played a Telecaster for the first time I bought the Tele on the spot
Comment from : @BB-ft6nd

100 agree Only caveat is I think the G&L ASAT Classic is even better Leo Fender, what a designer
Comment from : @sEaNoYeAh

I build guitar cabinets, and when I’m at a guitar show, I only bring my Fender Telecaster along as a) everybody is familiar with the sound and b) it covers all styles and sounds great at all levels of distortion
Comment from : @eff_bee_69

Telecaster was my first electric guitar, today it's still my go to electric guitar
Comment from : @timmartin6133

I have Epiphone dc pro, Squire HSS, affinity strat, epiphone SG, Glary tele, kit tele, kit strat, schecter demon 6, and my favorite is still my tele classic vibe its perfect
Comment from : @mikeowens2329

music man axis super sport mm90 eats telecasters
Comment from : @hupur

I love Teles its the simplicity, sound and playabilty, togrther its an awsome musical instrument, you get more out more than you in
Comment from : @glennlaurents9439

Not gonna happen, bro Work on your marketing skills 😂
Comment from : @wallofrock6725

Agree I just ordered the Nashville Tele
Comment from : @guyg2005

If it doesn't have a flamethrower shooting fire out of the headstock or it's not covered in white fur, and doesn't spin around why are you even bothering? What is this? Amateur hour?
Comment from : @petschem

I thought that the strat was the most versatile one
Comment from : @adiaz1182

I own the 70th esquire too and use it with all three switch settings
Comment from : @weloveug

I own 6 Les Pauls 3 Telecasters and 3 Strats I guess I never thought about only using 1 guitar 😐
Comment from : @scottanderson4175

You forgot about modding Strategies accept more mods with greater ease
Comment from : @Bikeadelic

This is reeeaally selling me on a tele, but I really want a whammy too 🙃
Comment from : @adityamaanas9470

For recording this video, did you have the guitar connected to any pedal or added any external special effects ? Or was it connected straight into the amp ?
Comment from : @StrivingMen

a tele is like a hammer, great tool
Comment from : @Doty6String

Hi - What amp and pedal setup are you using for this video?
Comment from : @Harry-hs6xn

whats your favorite pickups for a tele
Comment from : @DonaldDuck-s2g

I own a 52 reissue Had it for the past thirty years Love it It does everything
Comment from : @bolt4694

Tele headstock looks like a thalidomide baby
Comment from : @egg_timer

I was a single coil snob for many many years it's now become my favorite configuration who'd of thunk thanks
Comment from : @Mytwocentsisallicanafford

I would pick the Stratocaster over the Telecaster
Comment from : @Shadowman-1960

I just recently bought a 2018 butterscotch Fender player telecaster in great condition for a great price It's an amazing guitar and I wasn't looking for butterscotch but I really like the color
Comment from : @iamanovercomer3253

I own three electric guitars a Epiphone Les Paul Jr and ES 335 and a Fender Telecaster(actually a parts caster) all great guitars but I still have discover all of the tones the Tele gives me… In short I think your assessment is spot on it it is a very versatile guitar
Comment from : @miguelazo68

Nope The Strat is the one ax to rule them all
Comment from : @jjgalletta66

The Tele is like a lot of bands first albums - it was arguably the first and things never got better than that
Comment from : @R1SKYB1Z

Did one guitar that everybody should have is one of those plastic BC riches that have spikes coming out of it and bats and shit and it has to be neon green glow in the dark
Comment from : @R1SKYB1Z

What's that riff at 4:29?
Comment from : @ashypharaoh8407

Just bought my first telecaster Fender JV Modified 50's version Hands down the nicest playing guitar I've ever had Love it
Comment from : @barst33lpr0

My tele just turned 20 years old and it’s still amazing Played through a hotrod deluxe and minimal fx, compressor and tremolo it’s as sweet a sound as I could ever hope for
Comment from : @brandtfrankie2381

Thanks Rhett
Comment from : @stevehowland8493

Okay but since you previously said the 335 in a video a few years back you should do a head to head!
Comment from : @mattw36

I never really considered a telecaster until I saw this video You make a compelling case!
Comment from : @Retipster

The One to rulle them all
Comment from : @vladfromoslo2518

Rhett, thanks for helping me fall back in love with my Tele BTW, your playing on any of your videos is always so clean
Comment from : @bruceripepi867

What amp are you using my friend? Sounds absolutely class!
Comment from : @JonahPartridge

I bought a Nashville Deluxe telecaster back in 2018, I've not bought another guitar since I think that says a lot
Comment from : @JMR120600

Es 339!
Comment from : @MaromMan

No Telecasters can only do country music Sounds like a banjo sometimes
Comment from : @evanfisher7361

Thank you just bought a tele baja after having played a strat for yearsbrReally happybrCould you please let me know what height should the strings be from the 12th fret brThank you
Comment from : @lyesbenlarbi7458

Just bought a player telecaster and fitted a black pickguard love it
Comment from : @smiley50ish

My new Fender Player Series Tele is sweet! Not fancy or expensive but it sounds wonderful and plays like a dream
Comment from : @TheMInorkey1

I hope you get endorsements from Fender because I’m buying the exact Telecaster you’re playing because of this video
Comment from : @Cleveland_Chris

I'm thinking headless with locking tuners , but I am not sure of that, but if I had to settle on one, that's the way to go
Comment from : @CurlySimmons-oy7le

I'm an old man who has played all my life My Tele is the only guitar I need for the pure enjoyment of making music Thanks
