no man im with you it sounds great. but ya i have a mexican version also of the tele... but when you installed the bigsby b5 to it in what ways did it change the clean bright sound?? i need to know asap before i buy it, thanks :)
too shay turtle. not only do you put people down for having some money but you correct them on grammer. sweet. u rule and u win on all fronts. i bet u play guitar better then jimi malmstein! please don't correct me for my foolish spelling of 'too shay"
its not even a tele anymore, nothing tele about that, and btw, i hate people who put on bigsbys just for the look and to say you have one, you barely used it and when you did it was for that lame, untasteful wiggle people do at the end of songs which is a waste of a good bigsby
@nymetsrock you yourself probably cant even use a bigsby well like you act. its like a floyd rose. you buy a guitar with it because its nice to have sometimes but in all reality, unless you solo nonstop you just arent gonna use it alot
@MrTheCircle i often use it with delay and modulation for nice, subtle pitch bends on longer notes that slowly drop in pitch, also for faster drops during more upbeat solos you hit a note and drop it down moderately slowly for a nice almost chorus effect, there are many uses for a bigsby
@nymetsrock yes there are. ive seen many telecasters set up like his where ppl did custom work on them. the bigsby works nice on them and sounds really nice with them if used right. unfortunately this guy didnt use it right
@MrTheCircle i know a bigsby can be useful, i have a few, i was just upset with how this guy barely used it but will most likely gloat around cause hes got one
@nymetsrock yeah i hate seeing guitarists brag about what they have. it gives us a bad look. you can have money and buy nice things all you want. doesnt make ya a good guitarist
Like: The Bigsby, it looks sweet and I bet it's fun to use. I like the clean tones.
Dislike: The mushy, nasty distortion. I also think that it would probably sound better with some Fender single coils. The humbuckers even out the quack of the Tele, but I think that you could get clearer, warmer cleans with single coils and it certainly wouldn't be so muddy as with the humbuckers.
andrewmoron357 It is obvious by your recent post you're immature, illiterate and foul mouthed.
I believe you are the perfect critic of this video. You're future is clear.
As to the guitar playing. The guitar, just as the player, wants to be something it is not.
A trip around you tube of Telecaster players will illustrate the absurdity of the claim that this is " The Single Most Bad Ass Telecaster Guitar Demo".. it simply is not. It ranks among the worst.
Nice Tele man, and good playing too! Fuck the haters! Just remember, there jealous of ya! None of them could carry a note in a bag! Where's there video's? Huh.....Where????
More is learned from honest criticism and advice than from well wishing
for a bad performance. , simply bad; as is obviated by 1/3 of the responses being negative . Why would anyone want to encourage mediocrity. My comments were honest. Why would anyone want to encourage mediocrity.
You do not know me or my experience, your comment of "just plain ignorance" in itself, is born of ignorance.
@bohemian46 - What a gobshite knobhead you are - I suppose your a deadly guitar man video performer - not - grow a pair of balls and rub them with sandpaper
All these Haters!!! Thumbs up for a Tele with a Bigsby. I hope it gets you laid you John Mayer playing son of a bitch. Remember, don't love them hoes and always use a condom.
Yeah, before saying this is the best sounding Tele in the world, compare to other telecasters out there...and tame the high end when you kick in the dirt, my ears have been raped
Nothing like luring a friend into listening to something soft on headphones only to surprise them by cranking the volume up on them. This guitar is meant to be played just beyond the breaking up point or under. There is no musicality in your distorted tone. It sounds like pure sh*t. You do not have a sense for tone.
my telecaster owns this one. and it's no "custom relic". i do mod it though. i can't insult your wilkinson. and that's not because i can't see it with all that bigsby.
and a humbucker? you could have filled the body with lead, and had the same sound. it would have protected you from all the bombs you've had dropped on here as well
@baconbag some teles were made with 1M pots in the sixties, twangayyy. i think it's a little much. 500k vol and 250k tone is what i like, with some nice vint caps in the mix (.022 and .001).
cleanest my ass.dude my obey telecaster sounds cleaner than that and its duncan pickups in it,and also why does it sounds like you are trying to make country pop punk?
My non branded, hand carved, tele sounds wicked and most teles that ive heard sound pretty good, but its just personal preference.
Relic guitars are, on the other hand, one of the strangest things ive ever seen, so your going to buy a custom shop guitar thats been beaten to shit and pay for it?
Personally, I don't dig the fake relic jobs either, not on a classic guitar such as a tele. It's like new jeans with worn out knees. If it's not through 20 years of love and play, then what's the point of dinging your guitar on purpose?
Wow, that´s a relly nice guitar, clean she´s ring like a bell !! The dirty tone imo is a not so good setup of the drive pedal. But the guitar is great and your playing btw is relly fine!!
Why would one pay good money for an axe that's been damaged by a machine INTENTIONALLY ?
Modern guitar marketing amazes me they can convince the masses to spend their hard earned money on any old scam. My generation has what the subsequent ones have lost, it's called discernment or the ability to think critically and to know when some greedy corporation has it's red, white and blue cock rammed firmly up your arse while it has both its hands in YOUR POCKETS!!! I hate RELICS & what they represent.
@TonyBurke100 That comment cracked me up, but I have to disagree. I like relics.
While nice new glossy finishes and perfect shines do look great, a properly done relic has much more character. Relics also take a lot less maintenence too, because they make imperfections cool.
However, I would encourage anyone who wants a relic to just get an equivalent guitar with a normal finish (which would also be cheaper), and just play it and batter it about until it really is a relic. Much more authentic.
@TheNeutralFan I don't even understand what your comment mean's, maybe I'm too old 38 here. Flame on me? Sound's like something my 11 yr old would say to me.
@glassbottleblues Sorry, Internet speak (particularly on forums) for attacking someone for their views with flawed arguments and without any justification.
Could you post a video playing the song that you're playing in the first half of the video (when you were playing clean)? That was a beautiful song, and you play it right. What song was it?
fake relics suck, you obviouslt dont know how to use a bigsby due to the fact that the only time you used it was end the end for a closing warble, and it wouldnt matter if you had a 3/4 single humbucker squier strat or that for the distortion you're playing
@credoilcalcio Yeah, overdrive isn't supposed to turn the sound into a solid lump of indecipherable mush, it is possible to use our controls so we have lots of gain while still maintaining SEPARATION.
People who CAN'T PLAY don't like that very much though.
You know that and so do I but the guy with the relic apparently does not.
People that complain about things are "gay". The relic job was brought about because people weren't playing their 1959 les pauls and 1954 strats because they were too valuable, so people wanted a new guitar that felt like their broken in vintage guitars. Think, would you rather lug around your prized 1952 blackguard Tele or a Custom Shop replica that sounds and feels identical? Think before you post
@WoWintosh You just don't understand, I have a 1960 Gretsch 6210, no scratches, but checking on the nitro. I have a 1964 Fender Presicision, only a mediumsize chip on the back paint and some buckle rash. My two vintage guitars that were made before the 70's do not look anything like the fake relic. The fake relics are for people who think a vintage guitar will look like, without actually looking at a real vintage one. From your standpiont I think that is the case.
@WoWintosh And how cheap is it to have a guitar broken in? All of the scratches should be a part of the history of you and the guitar. Back in China the origination of the black belt came from the trainers training so much their belt would turn black. Anyone found purposefully getting their belt dirty was severly punished. This is the same for guitars. Im sorry but your points don't hold water in my cup. Buy a guitar and live the life with it, not artificially put there by a machine.
So you're going to beat up your pristine stack-knob 1960 jazz bass? I'd rather keep it in the case looking pristine, while I PLAY a custom shop relic 1960 jazz bass. Who cares if it's authentic or not? Do you think an audience member can tell the difference? Do you think someone who listens to you on an album can tell the difference? Would ANYONE know the difference if you didn't tell them? I'd rather have a relic and play it, than beat up a clean, valuable vintage axe
@WoWintosh Dude you just don't get it. You keep the vinatges for album recording and you use the new ones for touring. Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, and lots of others do this. IMO the newer built guitars are better than the old ones. And lots of people do use vintage guitars for touring. Look at Sting, he uses consistently uses a '54 Precision bass for touring, John Mayer uses his 50's black strat for touring, Clapton used Blackie in the 70's and 80's and that was all 50's strat parts.
@TidewaterHooligans yup - bought my Tele in near mint in 94, and it was about 10 - 15 years old then - previous owner sure babied it... She's earned every nick , burn & scratch on her.
Pretty guitar. That would be the perfect guitar (for my taste) if it was thinline and maybe a regular single coil in the bridge. This is the closest I've ever seen to my dream set up. Very nice.
god dam there are some wine-e people watching this video "too much distortion" "relic jobs are wannabees" if some one wanted you to bich about the guitar they would have FUCKING ASKED. cool guitar by the way it sounds good maybe next time you should droptune it and play a slipknot song=D
@dohnty god damn you wine-e person watching this video "droptune" "play slipknot" if some one wanted you to bich about the song they would have FUCKING ASKED.
@bzablo you dumb fuck if you read the dam comment you'd realise that i wasn't biching about the song if i was you think for one second i would say it sounds good and plus i only said "MAYBE next time you should droptune" did you notice i said maybe and i only said play a slipknot song because 1 you inbred fuck JIM ROOT PLAYS A TELECASTER and 2 i personally think it would get under the skin of all the people who that hate distortion soooooo much that they have to pick on the dude playing.
no man im with you it sounds great. but ya i have a mexican version also of the tele... but when you installed the bigsby b5 to it in what ways did it change the clean bright sound?? i need to know asap before i buy it, thanks :)

@TidewaterHooligans
People that complain about things are "gay". The relic job was brought about because people weren't playing their 1959 les pauls and 1954 strats because they were too valuable, so people wanted a new guitar that felt like their broken in vintage guitars. Think, would you rather lug around your prized 1952 blackguard Tele or a Custom Shop replica that sounds and feels identical? Think before you post

@WoWintosh You just don't understand, I have a 1960 Gretsch 6210, no scratches, but checking on the nitro. I have a 1964 Fender Presicision, only a mediumsize chip on the back paint and some buckle rash. My two vintage guitars that were made before the 70's do not look anything like the fake relic. The fake relics are for people who think a vintage guitar will look like, without actually looking at a real vintage one. From your standpiont I think that is the case.
TidewaterHooligans 8 months ago
@WoWintosh And how cheap is it to have a guitar broken in? All of the scratches should be a part of the history of you and the guitar. Back in China the origination of the black belt came from the trainers training so much their belt would turn black. Anyone found purposefully getting their belt dirty was severly punished. This is the same for guitars. Im sorry but your points don't hold water in my cup. Buy a guitar and live the life with it, not artificially put there by a machine.

So you're going to beat up your pristine stack-knob 1960 jazz bass? I'd rather keep it in the case looking pristine, while I PLAY a custom shop relic 1960 jazz bass. Who cares if it's authentic or not? Do you think an audience member can tell the difference? Do you think someone who listens to you on an album can tell the difference? Would ANYONE know the difference if you didn't tell them? I'd rather have a relic and play it, than beat up a clean, valuable vintage axe

@WoWintosh Dude you just don't get it. You keep the vinatges for album recording and you use the new ones for touring. Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, and lots of others do this. IMO the newer built guitars are better than the old ones. And lots of people do use vintage guitars for touring. Look at Sting, he uses consistently uses a '54 Precision bass for touring, John Mayer uses his 50's black strat for touring, Clapton used Blackie in the 70's and 80's and that was all 50's strat parts.

Love that middle position clean tone. I notice you kept the original bridge - how do you find tuning stability?
eggymoo 1 year ago
Pretty guitar. That would be the perfect guitar (for my taste) if it was thinline and maybe a regular single coil in the bridge. This is the closest I've ever seen to my dream set up. Very nice.

@bzablo you dumb fuck if you read the dam comment you'd realise that i wasn't biching about the song if i was you think for one second i would say it sounds good and plus i only said "MAYBE next time you should droptune" did you notice i said maybe and i only said play a slipknot song because 1 you inbred fuck JIM ROOT PLAYS A TELECASTER and 2 i personally think it would get under the skin of all the people who that hate distortion soooooo much that they have to pick on the dude playing.
