Customer Reviews:

I recently purchased an Artic White Fender Telecaster and I love it! I feel like I left a Volkswagen and went into a Cadillac. Very sweet! What more do I need to say? I highly recommend this guitar. I started playing in 1975 and until now, never owned a Telecaster. I should have pushed long ago for this Gem! If you love guitar playing, ...

Woah it's marty

[ox092]

I actually disagree with Characterwise from this Fender to a Gibson. If you get a gibson with P90's or P-94's, they have as much character as a Fender has.

[1013637]

i broke the g string fingering near the f hole

[100DarkDude]

this guitar seems to be new!

this great fender telecaster!

[brazilgrass]

@100DarkDude Actually this guitar IS new, my friend. He says it in the video.

[Nickpatient]

@100DarkDude The video was recorded in a guitar shop. :)

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

Hey Marty could you do a review of the Ibanez Xiphos.

[kylemuirr]

@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD ew

[LemonCrushMusic]

I was tihnking of buying on of these, but it sounds the same as the solid body....screw that.

[RockChannelEurope]

I've seen some better f-holes....

[PeterSteves]

marty makes me smile :D

[irishpride6129]

im pretty sure this guy is a moron.... nope im convinced he is a moron.

[Jektor2187]

@irishpride6129 no one cares

[5oulPower]

I'm kinda like an alt-metal guitarist. I want to play these textural subtle parts (so I need a nice ringing clean tone) along with the really heavy metal tone (thick ballsy dirty tone). My influences are Steph Carpenter (Deftones), John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead)... Which guitar should I get, Tele or Strat? I've already settled on humbuckers but I'm afraid I'll lose that Fender tone that I love... Should I go dual humbuckers or just single?

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@5oulPower

Both will do the job, A strat is a little more versatile, and will to the gainy bits perhaps a little better.

In my opinion, single coils are better than humbuckers. They deliver greater cleans, and once you know how to use them, they'll scream metal! the only problem is the hum

[5oulPower]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 ok, thanks for the tip. :-)

[TheStevieD09]

@5oulPower you could always go for an ibanez rg model because some have a single coil and 2 humbuckers so you get both and depending on where you look you can get a decent one for about £300 (im not sure what that is in dollars if your american)

[BillEvans1956]

Get a G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy semi-hollow.

[MrJok96]

@SceamOfDemon Naaa mate none more than a regular fender

[ScreamOfDemon]

does this guitar has any sound unplugged?

[RNakkula]

@ScreamOfDemon :

My Thinline is not as silent when unplugged as my bandmate's generic Strat, but nowhere near as loud as my acoustic guitars. This is my secret weapon against plugged-in failure of the amplification chain. Actually, I researched and bought the Thinline due to the weight issue: I have much less chance of dropping (will-I-nill-I) a semi-hollow electric than a heavy solid slab of wood.

[Corundem]

Im getting a douglas semi-hollow tele. Sounds just as good for only $160

[JohnNMedia]

Is their a whole heap of difference between USA model & Mexico/Japanese models?

[keithgatti]

@JohnNMedia wood quality, electronics quality and pickup quality

[hungerstriker27]

hey marty, every one... I like both, so help me... Between a tele thinline and a semi hollow body like an epi dor, a riviera, a casino, etc... which sounds better? I like to play more than anything blues. I libe both fender, gibson, epiphone... So my questin is, in your opinion, what axe to buy? a tele thinline or a semi hollow?

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@hungerstriker27 ive played both and theyre both really great! id go to a guitar store try a thinline tele and an epiphone sheraton. i think those are the two best in the price range

[hungerstriker27]

@NintendoSinceBirth1

thanx man... I don´t know, for blues I have the already made idea that semi hollow... are the option, but I´ve never played a tele thinline

[mygad]

Hear the guitar well, Marty sounds like he's talking through a tunnel - far away, at the far end of the tunnel.

[gameinggangsta]

xxobscuraxx go to hell you gay pervert

[xxObscuraxx]

F-Holes... am I the only one who thinks thats dirty??

[ThirteenPeeps]

@xxObscuraxx and ahut the f-hole up.

lol jk.

nocaps ftw.

[PBANDSNOW]

@ThirteenPeeps You have bad grammar...

[starsighter13]

OK - couple O' questions... Why does Fender call this "thinline" AND are the Japanese Fenders are reputable as everyone says? I like a neck that is not very thick, so I look for a neck that is thinner, with standard width! Great review, thanks!!

[GamerMan57]

dude u r so awsome

[GTA4man15]

I got that guitar

[BoyleJr]

Haha Great Funky Monks Bit

[poopypanysou812]

FYI, That guitar is solid from the neck to the bridge and the rest is hollow.

[MasterxMorgan]

That Fender makes my penis twice as hard...

[steptoesaunt]

Its kind of ugly but sounds great. (the guitar I mean,not marty)

[futurfry]

[anesthetize7]

[JoshuaDG2111]

there are plenty of OTHER brands of guitars that are under $500!!! the sounds can all be played on a good effect pedal and that guitar there is the UGLIEST one ever made!

[marshman500]

you should probly tune the guitar before doing a demo

[jfjordan1962]

I have several guitars, one of them a much more expensive 2-3x this guitar. I love the simplicity of this guitar & the feel of it.  The quality is also there.

[billhed405]

I effin love that funky monks lick you did in there bro

[isitcosimblack]

what does that cost , he said 775 ?? what does an american strat or tele std cost over there then ? 

[thepwnanater]

[Heeziness]

Damn, Marty is on almost every guitar channel... Soon he shall take over guitar lessons on youtube. =)

[MrPeteyRocket]

I've been to Buffalo Bros. in Carlsbad Ca., it's the sickest guitar store on the west coast. They are the best used guitar store ever. Screw Guitarcenter...

[jetlag51]

an epiphone les paul standard costs less than $500

[CptCarvalho]

[TayPlaysBass]

[JDX45]

[JDX45]

What do you think of that guitar for a begginer? Im thinking about Squier Thinline Tele, this one the dude is playing or last resource----> Standard Stratocaster HSS

[alongtheappianway]

will a telecaster thinline produce a similar sound like a steelcaster deluxe?

[FutureSailorOhYea]

he plays chili peppers at 3:21

[OliverFranzon]

yeah, "Funky Monks" right?

[mikelrhcp]

Yes the strarting

[blueskidd96]

This guy is horribly bad. So is ALL of Rockongoodpeople.

I really don't se why people buy there DVDs.

[kamykazzzz]

OMG I'M GONNA GO CRAZY IF I DONT GET THE CHORDS SINCE 3:00 to 3:40 oO

(L)(L)

[evilnumber7]

@kamykazzzz It's pretty much just Am7 to D9.

[mamtec]

MARYT, In truth it is not A SEMI- HOLLOW.

[KonguAwesome]

why do you say that?

[Pierrot7991]

Hey, what's the name of the guitar at 5:18, isn't it a riviera or something like that?

[Rubensclapton]

this is a American or Mexican? tnks

[donbstewart123]

Made in MX and have been for several years, The original ones are US and expensive. I'd like to get one with humbuckers but not going to pay $900 for a MX. Just buy a MX one hold it play it then resell it 10 years later... very little value. Save your $ and get a US guitar so you will get more $ at resell. I had a new 93 Gibson LP and had it for 10 years, When sold, I made 600 over from what I paid. The truth - American guitars will have better vale at sell, Ask a pawn shop owner. Mexico - NO

[TheMadMusicMan]

Are you stupid? Look at 1:13

[Rubensclapton]

Sorry man! Não sou estúpido ... simplesmente não falo sua língua, obrigado pela gentileza, isso é típico do seu país mesmo!!!

[bobert995]

@TheMadMusicMan I don't get it..It's not semi hollow cuz it's mexican-made?what are you talking about?

[bluesyjazzcat31]

Are there any American thinlines out there?

[AlexSongDoesCovers]

There are some Factory Special Runs of American Thinlines, but you can basically only get them from Japanese websites which don't export to the US. There are also CS Thinlines, but they're expensive as hell.

[zyesa]

man im not sure if there are but ive got a mexican thinline 72 reissue with the humbuckers in it and it is one the the best sounding and greatest playing guitars ive ever picked up.

[shootr04]

I have to agree with zyesa. I just bought a Mexican 72 thinline reissue a few weeks ago and it is an incredible guitar. Sure, it won't hold its value like an American Fender, but if that doesn't bother you it is a solid choice. The humbuckers are amazing and the neck is smooth as butter. I haven't even touched my strat since I got the tele.

[lemmonandlime]

The best bang for your buck in the 300-500 price range is MIJ lawsuit guitar from the 70's.

[mhd9890]

Hey guys, I have a thinline 72 and was thinking of installing a whammy in it. Is this okay?

[virgult]

I presume it is, cause the hollow portion of the body is just on the top left corner (where the F hole is). Moreover, 72's have a "normal" bridge instead of the one you see here... so, you can drill the rear part of the body and install it. But pleeease... NO floyd rose! ;)

[wildhorsestudios1421]

While it is solid where the bridge is and a trem may be ok the guitar is chambered. It is hollow at the right horn as well. You just can't see it.

[huskyd2000]

I'd been looking at possible guitar ideas for far future. Preferrably semi-hollow to allow for more sustain -- I like to play heavy metal, and it makes sense that a hollow or semi-hollow would allow for more sustain and feedback which could be compensated if run through the right distortion and amp. Does a tele thinline has a noticeable amount of sustain over a solid body, compared to other semi-hollows?

[EpicWoIf]

just get a bigsby if you want sustain

[iagobroxado]

Its more probable the thinline has less sustain than the solid (if theres any difference).

[Addiesarkisian]

do they make american thinlines any more besides the 71?

[lpavletinet]

69 is better

[rootman1987]

@clehneis Yeah, it's not, trust me, she has even more of a molestache as this guy (This guy who probably plays way better than you could manage, not that I know that, just sayin his wiener is probably bigger than yours, and definitely bigger than mine, and unfortunately I learned that the same way I learned 69'ing his mom is not better... Ugh, what a dirty 3 day acid bender that was.)

[maj27]

im choosing between the 69 and 72 thinline, what do you recommend??

[Moka8]

It really depends on what you play. A 69 thinline has single coils, which makes it great for punk rock or blues or country, and it can even be used for hardcore. I use it for that, and so do bands like Emarosa. A 72 has two humbuckers, which makes it better for thicker, Les Paul style sounds. That is better for heavier music or music with more high gain.

Try them both out and see which one you like best.

[SykoSaint]

I just bought an epiphone goth explorer for $400 and it sounds amazing but it depends on what you play I only use it for heavy metal and anything else I'll use my strat or les paul

[TheManT]

lol loved the Funky Monks riff!

[marcelcruzeiro]

Hi!

Nice sound... which pickups??

[andr3wbr1an]

epiphones are good too. just a les paul but it has epiphone written on it

[bergercurtis]

That "Epiphone" logo writen on it basically tells you that it was built out of the states, in a lower quality environment with cheaper resources, materials, and labor.

Don't get me wrong, Epiphones can still be nice. They still play well (although you should put some Gibson LP 'Buckers in it). But they're still no Gibson. But it helps newer and less wealthy players get their style and mimic tone for a fraction of the price.

[andr3wbr1an]

yeah.. true. very true.... but epiphones are great in my opinion.. i just need to change my pickups but i don't have the money to get'em replaced

[andr3wbr1an]

know how to change pickups with the quick conectors?

[bergercurtis]

If you ever took a basic electronics class in any schooling you've had, know how to follow directions, can be mindful and careful, and trust yourself; you can buy any pickups and do it yourself. It's not a hard process.

[andr3wbr1an]

hmm... can you keeep in mind i'm in 7th grade??

[CollyStrings]

nice funky monks in there!

[mattpowers2]

I've got a '69 thinline like that and I love it. One of the best telecaster models ever

[Shonucic]

I love seeing these cool guitars, but can you post more guitar ideas, preferably more chord voicings and progressions and such.

[DrBones666]

I love F-holes.

Who could say no to an F-hole?

[Seishinbunretsusho]

Perhaps only a true A-hole.

[Errm3]

hehe sounds like a mario theme at 2:27 :D

[zeffy00]

FUNKY MONKS =D

[mafew129]

marty can you do a lesson based around that riff u did at the beginning of the video?

[0008890]

I think Jeff Beck have a guitar like that

[skarfreak]

i love telecaster.... can i have it... LOL.... anyways, nice vid

[guitarjamzdotcom]

dont' worry no matter what you are getting a premium geeeetarrrr!!!

[np4x4]

Cheers for that Marty, Reason I was Hooked on that model Gretsch was the different tones and sounds I got out of it, but I loved that Country Tone that you got out of that Tele. Will give the tele a try and see how I go. Have you played the Stump-o-Matic at all Mate? Thanks again Marty.

[TravisMichael98]

omg!! i want that guitar!

wanna trade? lol.

[kennymacdaddy]

Another totally solid presintation, Marty...

Totally kick ass, bro!

[lalalalatikt]

3:18 is funky monks from the red hot chili peppers

Could you do a lesson about that song?

btw I love these telecasters I have one almost simular

[popomczowzow]

That's definitely it!

I love that song so I think it would be great if he did a lesson for the people that don't know how to play it. You should know that he doesn't take requests from comments, head to his website to make a request

[rockgodjr]

hey man where do u go on his web site to do that (review lessons), great video marty

[coughsnif]

[HardClox]
