Great idea. I like this side by side comparison. Much appreciated.
The Tele is in a class of its own. Apples and oranges.
Guitars are not rocket science, folks. Shop around. I have about 45 electric guitars and quality of playabiilty and tone no longer have much to do with the price sticker as they did in the 'old days'.
that telecaster is very sweet... but i prefer seymour duncan on the samick guitar... i have one and it has a seymour duncan on it's neck.. and the bridge is duncan distortion.. it plays nice with metal and blues..
@daveghel23 Yes. The original pickups have bad sounding. Go get the pickups fix according to your musical style and this guitar will stay with you for very long. I've been using mine for 4years. It's my first ever guitar.
At first, I thought the Ibanez at the beginning sounded the best until I heard you play the telecaster. Sounded much clearer than the others. Sounds like she's walking through the clouds by Jimi Hendrix? Not sure.
@DJ027X First chord = Bar the 10th fret, then place finger on 12th fret "D" string, and 11th fret "B" string. Second Chord = Bar the 10th fret, then place finger on 12th fret "A" string. REPEAT those two chords again. Third Chord = Bar the 8th fret, then place finger on 10th fret "A" string. Fourth chord is same as second chord. Add small lead fills in between chords.
thanks for the video , really great help. I was wondering on the Ibanze, I am looking for a jazz guitar, but need kind of a small body guitar. do you think this guitar fits the bill. also you where saying the neck seems to be a little big, is that width or thickness. Only a couple out there, I think this guitar is discontinued. any comments would be appreciated thanks.
@gbargy1 The Ibanez AGS83 models of guitars (current and past) are made amazingly well for a semi-hollow body guitar. The craftsmanship is top notch. I own plenty of guitars and the AGS is one of my favourites. The stock pickups are very well suited for jazz (warm, dark sound). The neck is great for blues, rhythm, jazz, rock, but not metal. The neck feels wide, but it is not thick, so you can easily reach beyond the 20th fret. The guitar also sounds excellent when unplugged.
While I was interested to hear the Ibanez, I was more impressed with the old Telecaster. I would like to hear the difference, if there is one, with a Mexican-made Telecaster substituted for the American-made version.
in my opinion the telecaster blows all the other guitars out of the water. my dad has a tele that he had some work done on it. sanding frets and stuff. its so easy to play.
Hey I was just wondering how your Ibanez AGS83bbg is? I'm thinking of buying myself one. I love the beatles and music in that genre. And I'm a beginner. Should I get this guitar?
@kaithlyn123 The AGS83BBG is a super nice guitar. I don't believe I'd recommend it for a beginner though because it is not as versatile as one may want it to be and the neck may be a bit large for a beginner. It does have a nice rhythm sound quality to it however which I really like, but the sound is dark... made more for the background. Not bright like that of the Beatles.. You may find the Fender style guitars easier to play and they give a brighter sound closer to that of the Beatles.
@jAMMAN798 i was wandering should i buy a lws paul or a prs se custom? i like playing guns n roses, buckethead but i also like shredding. which of the two do you recomend for playing all those styles? i am verging on the prs because of the tremolo...
@phazonmangowarlord If you plan on doing some shredding, then you require a good neck for that. Les Paul's do not have that sort of neck. Some of the PRS SE models have a perfect neck for shredding. The entry level low cost Ibanez RG models have a good neck for this as well.
@Deneteus The stock pickups in the AGS83 give it a warm, darker sound. However, depending on your amp you can compensate for this. The VOX Pathfinder and AGS83 combination work very well.
Man telecasters with the neck solo's sound so sweet. I clicked on this to hear the samick since I may be getting one soon for a cheap LP style guitar. Sounds pretty good for the price.
@dajoth The Ibanez AGS83 is very good at Jazz, Blues and warm rock, so it is a great guitar if that is exactly what you wish to play. The PRS however, can play a bit of everything and has some bite to it. The PRS is a very good all around type guitar.
Tele wins for tone on this one (warm), the Ibanez (is this an AGS83bbg?) sounds pretty good too the semi-hollow(ness) is nice a close second. The SE sounds very clear and crisp,the Samick sounds pretty close to the SE a bit less highs.
