you gotta have one thats set up properly,i love my squire tele. i have the same model.i do all my own set ups. they are quality guitars. check my video on my chanel, called , To Bo. thanks ron.
@david1952000 i dunno but i have played a danelectro dead on 67 and its ok but the neck is painted, its body is made of plastic and felt quite awkward to play, i know people hype it up but it didnt click with me
Nice playing, especially the Django influenced stuff in the beginning. To Mrguitarman's question. If you want to sound like Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, buy a Strat not a Tele, use clean compression, light strings, finger-style picking and master the vibrato (whammy) bar and string bends. Knopfler used a Tele sometimes, but mostly a Strat. But if you like a Tele, you at least are getting the long scale and single coil Fender sound. Hence closer to a Strat than a Gibson-style guitar.
@FusionSax10 It depends what your amp and effects setup is... For instance the band Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster uses mainly Fender Teles, and they come up with some pretty heavy stuff, John5 from Manson/Rob Zombie also uses them predominantly, so, it depends on how you manipulate them.
you mustve gotten one of the good ones-I played one in guitar center a week ago and the damn pickups kept cutting out! It felt like a toy. What was worse was the horrendously bad craft,manship on the epi les paul I also tried-yuk.
Yes it does make a difference-at guitar center they have too much going on to care about the cheaper guitars. Just curious as to why not an SX or another xavierre? The squire teles use a mix of alder and agathis whereas the sx and xavierre use solid alder.
man i have squire strat affinity and i just bought the telecaster and i was thinking about sellin it but after watching your video i'll keep i know it's an amazing guitar for the price mate thank you
would you pick this telecaster over your guitarfetish telecaster?

not really, More like punk stuff is about as heavy as you can get, the j5 tele would be

@scorpguitar79 don't go to a guitar center for a guitar. i got this from a small store where even the cheap ones are set up nicely.

I would like to "Like" this comment several more times! The average Guitar Center is, ironically, the LAST place anyone should go to buy a guitar!
