Fender '72 Reissue Thinline Tele Demo/Review/Jam

[russellstall]

i play alot of styles on the thinline... probably the most versatile tele made

[greengtrs]

@russellstall 80% of all my electric guitar work is done on some sort of a semi-hollow...I love them...for anything!

[greengtrs]

@MrBavelaar I use both (or an acoustic AND an electric) thanks to the Mbrace stand! If I can only take one guitar along though, it is the acoustic...

[greengtrs]

@kkppffww Thanks!

[bingin15]

what kind of amp would you recommend for a beginner/amateur?

[greengtrs]

@bingin15 What is your budget?

[bingin15]

@greengtrs i don't want to get something too excessive so somewhere up to 150.

[greengtrs]

@bingin15 either get something older/used (with a 12" speaker and with 75+ watts so you can jam with drums...maybe an older Peavey Bandit...) or maybe just a really nice small/portable/battery (and/or AC w/adapter) style amp like the Roland Cube or Vox DA-5's...

[bingin15]

whoa this sounds beautiful even without the amp! what a great guitar

[greengtrs]

@bingin15 It was a great guitar...it had that natural resonance that I love (I choose almost all of my guitars before I ever plug them in) and it still had that classic Fender twang...somehow even with humbuckers...

Thanks for watching!

[mcnabb4mvp06]

sounds like 'down by the river'

[hyunmyers77]

what strings are strung on the taylor? they sound niceeee

[greengtrs]

@hyunmyers77 Thomastik Plectrum's...I'm a dealer for them now...they saw a few of my videos where I was ranting about them...I'm an absolute fanatic for them.

[hyunmyers77]

@greengtrs thats amazing! but really, what strings did you use for that taylor in the vid? I'd like to try them out my self.

[greengtrs]

@hyunmyers77 uh...Thomastik Plectrums is the kind of strings...not a "pick"...they go 11-14-19-26-36-50 and is quite a combination of materials...they last forever (practically...sometimes a year or more for me) and feel and sound great (to my ears anyways).

[greengtrs]

@DavidRourke15 Yes...I have a better video that shows the 11 adjustment holes on it...not just lefty, but lots of angle choices too...click on my channel page and that video plays automatically at the moment (I may change it to a more jamming one soon though so just search my videos for Mbrace and Ovation and it should come up) and while you are there send me a note if you want one...I give the best prices directly through my YouTube videos...

[BoatmanCalling]

I really love this! How would you rate the Tele? What do you think of the pickups? I like a fat tone, would this guitar suit that? Great videos, Really like them!

[greengtrs]

@BoatmanCalling Thanks for the kind words...I loved this Tele (I like lots of different Tele's) but I don't really think it's going to get you a real fat sound...the Fender Humbucker's sounded good, but not real fat...they still retain that infamous Fender twang...switching the pickups out for something better could help, but I think you would do better with a solid body model (maybe put a humbucker or mini humbucker in the neck position the '69 Mahogany model) if you want a really fat tone.

[BoatmanCalling]

@greengtrs Hi, Thats what I was thinking of doing. But putting maybe a minni humbucker between the 2 standered pickups on a telecaster. Have a 5 way pickup switch going; Hum. Hum & Neck, Neck, Neck & Bridge, Bridge. That way I can still have that classic Tele sound with the added Humbucker. Thanks for the tip. I'll check out that '69 mahogany!

[greengtrs]

@BoatmanCalling There are so many cool wiring options...add a mini toggle or maybe some push pull pots and you can get 7 sounds (standard strat switching, all on and neck and bridge)...good luck and have fun!

[Moza47]

nice dude...

[SeanBenz33]

Great pickin man! i was wondering if this guitar would be good enough to play lead for Johnny cash style? my name is sean and i wish to know cause i LOVE these things!

[ArtDonna84]

Had one, sold it, couldn't get the sound I wanted, but then I was a brand new player, not knowing how to work the amp, what kind of amp worked the best, etc. Just acquired another one to go along with the strats, s-500, tele's I already since that fatal day I sold the first one. Love playing guitar as well, including my acoustics. I prefer the Taylor brands as well for worship. I do own two Epiphones which I also love. Never seems enough time in a day to play. Very nice video. Thanks..

[hunnia08]

you're absolutely great!

[greengtrs]

@hunnia08 Thanks so much...all glory goes to God for blessing me with the gift of "guitarist/musician/ears/ideas­/etc."...I sure do love to play! Thanks for watching!

[foma42]

great demo, man.. nice picking as well. gonna have to dust mine off now, i think, heh. and i'm definitely considering the possibilities of one of those Boss loop stations. all the best, bub.

[fitoflores1]

hello man, congratulations for the video , excuse me i have a question, whats is the model of your suport or base of acoustic guitar? i need one f these please answer me , thanks , i'm Sebastian Flores from Aragorn thanks again

[greengtrs]

@fitoflores1 Hi Sebastian...it's called an Mbrace and I am a dealer for them (there is a more info section above...click on the arrows under the video). I'll send you a message to your channel...reply back if you want one. Thanks!

[droberts31]

got tht 72 thinline, such a nice guitar

[envodas]

gotta say i love this, its like a lazy cowboy style of playing (the acoustic guitar)

p.s whats the specific name of the looping device thingy your using for this?

thanks :Pxx

[greengtrs]

Thanks! It's a Boss RC-20XL Loop Station...one of the best spent $250ish (USD) I ever invested in myself...tons of fun and I haven't really scratched the surface of it's full potential yet...I'll be doing more and more "looping" demos as time permits...but search the keywords "greengtrs" and "looping" and you'll see a bunch I've already posted (close to 40 now)...the "Thanksgiving" one was a good experiment to see how much or how many "overdubs" I could get going...

Thanks for watching!

[envodas]

thanks bro... yea ive ordered myself a copy, honestly it looks like a fantastic piece of gear, thanks for replying.

have a good one :P

envodas x

[ketamine50]

nice demo , nice playing and nice tele !!!

what kind of effect do you use between the amp and the tele ? the sound is louder than a standart tele !!! i think it may be a good guitar to "ad "to my strat , instead of buying a les paul (to expansive !!!!!!!!!)

[greengtrs]

Thanks! There were no effects pedals used...just the footswitch for the amp to change channels...from clean to dirty. They are really nice and different enough from a Strat but not really like a Les Paul...

[downsalas]

hey , got a question.. as u have played a lot of guitars due to ure business.,.. in your opinion whats the best fender guitar?

[greengtrs]

That's a tough one as there are so many Fender's I like. My favorite body though is a Strat body with the body contouring...beveled for the arm and belly...and I like the range of a Strat with the "in between" or 2 pickups at once sounds. What sounds are you going after and what is your budget...also is there a look you like? Then when you narrow it down there are more choices...Standard, Deluxe, Re-issue, even Custom Shop...all with different sounds and feel to them.

[downsalas]

Well actually i love the look of the tele 72 deluxe, and i like the semi hollow body sound ,so i assume the 72 thinline is a good guitar. however i have played very few fenders, so i have no much idea about that guitars.tell me , why does the prices change so much between fender guitars? the appereance of almost all fender guitars is the same

[greengtrs]

Where they are made (or assembled) affects the price big time...it will be subtle stuff and each improvement (or better quality components) drives the price up higher.

[playsbase]

tune???>??????

[greengtrs]

Thanks! It's one of my originals...actually only one small part but probably influenced by David Gilmour...maybe a little Robin Trower...I've got so many influences it would be tough to say for sure.

[lespaulplayer1234512]

holy crap nice guitars!! how many do u have?

[greengtrs]

Thanks! I only have a few personal guitars...these are almost all owned by my business (I buy/sell mainly used guitars and basses...the Mbrace stands and some strings as wel). The only one I own in this video is the Taylor and for what it's worth, very few of these guitars are around anymore...it's constantly changing.

[01BFOX]

quick question...is the thinline similar in sounds compared to the feder 72 tele deluxe?

[greengtrs]

Probably not too similar except for the neck pickup setting as they both have a humbucker in the neck...but the thinline body will make it sound different even there and the bridge pickup being a single coil will sound drastically different.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Acoustic guitar part sounds a tiny bit like Pink Floyd's "Breathe" on Dark Side Of The Moon. Still cool though.

[greengtrs]

David Gilmour (and Pink Floyd in general) had a big influence on me...it wasn't intentional, this idea was actually longer but I messed up on the loop and cut it short and just rolled with it...but David's influence is in there pretty deep, so it comes out now and again. Thanks for watching!

[GearGuruTV]

Is the tele for sale cuz I dont see it up on ebay?

[greengtrs]

Sorry for the delayed response, but this guitar sold as soon as I posted this video...so it's long gone!

[bchant19]

hey nice playing there real beautiful but if u wanna get from a electric to acoustic sound real easy u should check out the epiphone les paul ultra 2 its got a littel nano electro accostic guitar pick up right on the very last fret so u can play through the normal humbuckers and get the use all les paul ballsy tone or switch to the nano pick up for real soft acoustic sounds and what's real cool is u can combine the 2 together

[greengtrs]

I've actually got a Parker P-36 (which does what you are talking about) but I prefer playing an acoustic for my acoustic sounds (they sound the best..more natural) and you can't get the drumming sound on those other guitars.

[kurtcobainsk8dudu]

whit what do you record that jam thing?:D

[greengtrs]

It's a Boss RC-20XL Loop Station. Sorry about the delayed response.

[joeypaint]

Do you know where I could possibly find a Tele' Plus? Those things are extremely rare...

[ledzeppelinzoso]

hey dude really diggd ur solo did u improv?

lol thisll prob be me in 9 years i hope!

[greengtrs]

Thanks! Yes...everything I do here (and just about everything I play in general) is on the spot improvisation.

Enjoy the journey!

Thanks for watching!

[ledzeppelinzoso]

thats the same with me. most time i dont know what im playing when im jamming and i forget to write riffs down lol. im doing some workm on my mexi tele ameri pots pickups samarian cobalt pups with a new bridge ashtry style basically mnodding to a 63 tele

[Thetallywhacker0]

You have some awesome guitars and basses, I wish I had the money to buy them all up but sadly I don't...

[ThomaMat50]

Hey where did u get that acoustic stand that u have? what is it called?

[greengtrs]

They are called Mbrace stands/holders and I'm one of their dealers. I've been using them for over a year or so and started selling them when the questions started pouring in. I put some purchase info in the "more info" section. I've got the lowest price in the US and can ship world wide. I'll be doing a cool video soon with 2 of them...one for my Taylor, and one for my Ibanez Acoustic bass which I'll loop (both), and I'll jam with an electric (or something) over that. Click the More Info link...

[kgkraus]

Great way to demo your equipment. That loop station is awesome. After seeing this, I'm looking to buy one. Do you know how well the Boss RC-2 works? Is that 712 custom? I'm not used to seeing the inlay like that on a 712.

[lennonmccartneybeat]

I gotta get me a loop pedal, what one do you use ?

[greengtrs]

It's the Boss RC20XL...

Thanks for watching!

[sonnydalheim]

The Taylor sounds awsome as well

[greengtrs]

Thanks! I'll be changing strings on it soon and I'll do another demo with it to show the difference a fresh set makes...and because it needs it!

Thanks for watching!

[weirdotis]

Thats a great price for a thinline... I'd buy if I hadn't already bought a new amp.

[greengtrs]

Thanks! I set it low to sell it fast...I doubt it will last more than a week or so...you never know, but it is a great deal and as clean as a used one could possibly be...and more importantly, sounds great!

Thanks for watching/subscribing/commentin­g!

[kleydj13]

That's a really sweet loop

[greengtrs]

Thanks!

[kqgibson]

thats quite the collection of guitars and amps u got there buddy. im 17 and i want a more poison 80's rock sounding guitar. right now i have a gibson mahogany les paul. what do u think i should get? like an ibanez or jackson or something? by the way i have a fender 212 non tube 100w amp

[greengtrs]

Almost all of what you see is for/from my business...greengtrs...only the Marshall Studio 15, the Laney's, and the Marshall cabs are actually mine in this video. Both Jackson and Ibanez make some good guitars (not all of them are, but...). What's your budget? How important are the looks and the name on the headstock to you? What features are important to you?

[kqgibson]

im looking to spend anywhere between 1000 to 1800 i kind of want a tremelo because my gibson doesnt have one. looks would be nice because my les paul if pretty plain looking

[EyekilL951]

I know this question wasnt intended for me, but any jackson usa is gonna be 1500-1800 dollars, but you cant go wrong either the dk1 dinky or sl1 soloist. Also check out the the RG prestige series from ibanez, particularly the RG770DX reissue, its really cool and even looks straight out of the 80's. GC price is around 1300 dollars.

[kqgibson]

alright thanks man ill take a look at those guitars

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Hah. Smooth flowing this time huh?

Although you're just learning the whole loop thing, I think you'd doing pretty good with it--but what do I know?

Nice video, still and always. Practically showing off two guitars in one demo...

Just out of curiosity, are those two solid white strats on the rack? Looks like they both have solid maple necks, correct me if I'm wrong--I'm kind of liking those lol

[greengtrs]

Yes...hopefully...and thanks! I have a rack full of Fender's to get listed...and one of them is White with a Maple neck...it's a Standard MIM Strat with a regular Fender Gig-Bag...let me know...I'll hook you up...the other is a Ltd Ed 60th Ann Blizzard Pearl Standard MIM Strat with the hot Tex-mex pickups and a special 60th Ann Deluxe Gig-Bag...

I'm going to start offering my guitars here before they ever hit eBay if any of my "fans" are interested.

Thanks for (always) watching!

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Hah. No problem~ Always fun to see the new stuff going on.

Even if I can't really offer anything for one of the two guitars yet, could you hold on to one for a while? Much appreciated if so.

[greengtrs]

Um...

[theincredibleiannune]

I Bet You Play Better When Your Not Recording But Thats a Pretty Good Rif

[greengtrs]

Thanks! I don't get much of a chance to play these days...but yes...once I get going, it can get pretty cool...one of these days I'll post some jams (band situation stuff) and maybe even some songs. Thanks for watching!

[piinkgtrs]

By the way, did you make that song up cuz its really nice..

[greengtrs]

Yeah...it's part of a riff or idea I came up with about 5 minutes before shooting this...this is a simplified shortened version...

[tankbrute6]

beautiful guitar man, love it,,,, you should get more paul reed smiths though!!!

[greengtrs]

Thanks! Never know what the future holds...I have an opportunity right now for some PRSi but I'm just not sure if I'll be able to make it happen...

[chibibeffer]

there you go Howard! If you are better than porn than you must be awesome! lol. The Jam was such a treat to hear! And that tele sounds fantanstic! Too bad you have to sell all these great guitars you get your hands on huh?

Great Video!

[greengtrs]

I'll try not to get a big head about it! It's all good...at least I get to play them for a bit...

[katzenrubbl0r]

this channel is better than youporn

[greengtrs]

Wow! Double thanks!

[ledzep149]

this is the best channel im subscribed to!

[greengtrs]

Thanks!

[LordOfThisWorld74]

man that taylor sounds amazing. that acoustics plugged into a marshall AS-50R you say?

[greengtrs]

Yes...and the strings are 8 months old!
