great tone. Ill say this though, you dont need to spend huge amounts of money bo get this sound. I can nail this tone with my 52RI Tele into my 65RI Twin Reverb and Garagetone Drivetrain pedal with the drive turned way down. Basically any Fender tube amp and a tube screamer type pedal will work. For the echo I use a Guyatone MD3 delay.
@cgravier sorry but you're dreaming!lol, accept about you're ri 52 tele, but the 65 blackface twin ri, can't do a tweedd job, and you can put all pedals you want, vintage amps are the best for this tone, but not all the tone !!
try vintage amp for clean tone with reverb, and you'll sell you're ri twin
I played my 1964 Fender Precision bass for 24 yrs...Never had to do anything except change the strings. It's in good shape...original sunburst finish. What would it bring at auction ?
A big part of Roy Buchanan's harmonics had to do with the fact that his rear pickup had gone microphonic, and only about half the windings were working on the coils. Don Mare makes a real good replica of Buchanan's pickups. Personally, I think there are a lot of better sounding modern pickups for the Tele, especially Texas Specials. I never thought much of the vintage ones. I DO like those old Bassmans though. That little Super Champ XD gets as close to an old Bassman sound as I've ever heard.
It's a shame that these guitars and amps can only be bought by rich tossers, lawyers and the rich these days. These instruments were made to played with attitude, not hung on the wall of some suit in the city.
@vitsamutsu I've been saying exactly the same thing recently myself....Leo Fender designed the Telecaster to be a budget instrument for your average working musician; I think he'd find the money they trade for now mind-boggling. As you say, the only people who can afford these guitars now can't play them...it's just something else to brag about.
The first tele was made of pine!!! To most people pine is a crap wood. I think some need the Pepsi challenge of guitars. You will see a surge in Squire, MIM and Epiphone sales!!!
Its not all about the specs and woods, you can't forget the feel and craftsmanship in guitars. On paper a cheap Squire may look almost the same as a USA made Fender but in reality there is a huge difference in the build quality and the feel of the instrument. Frets might start to come off, screws may strip because the wood is such poor quality.
The main difference is sustain and overall clarity in notes. I think the "heavy ash" sounds brittle compared to swap ash. The main reason, I believe, is swap ash spends it's entire life literally in a swamp, then it has to be dried for a very long time!!!
yes and no. Two pickups, bridge is an alnico 2 tele bridge but the neck pickup is a strat pickup and it has 4 way switching, single coil tap, and passive bass cut switch
Typical wood snobbery. You can't tell the difference of the wood through an amplifier, it's just too subtle, and within the species the wood varies so much that to say that you can tell the species from the sound is just idiotic. If you say you can you're lying to others and to yourself.
Another idiot comment is saying that it should be made of X wood or Y wood. As if it was a crime to build something different.
And the best tele ive heard was made of Steel, so your wood argument is invalid.
You are basically saying that the wood don't affect the acoustic tone in an instrument. The wood also dries with age, so the tone changes over the years. The sound difference IS subtle, but definitely audible.
Wood affects the tone in an acoustic intrument obviously because the intrument is amplified acoustically. Since in an electric guitar the pickups "pick up" the vibration of the strings, the wood used is acoustically of little importance.
The weight and elasticity of the guitar as a whole influences the vibration of the strings. But only in extreme variation of these can make the difference be audible through an amp.
You can buy his dvd's from Homespun Videos. Tey are all great, He has one a about classic fender tones and he uses all vintage Teles and Strats run though all kinds of old fender amps. Some relly good shit !!
well I believe it's a video from 1985 just before old guitars got popular.I put a lot of Jim's video's on youtube also this one but they deleted my account....
KUN..no..I am NOT retarded lol..well maybe alittle.. I know what you mean...but...vintage doesnt mean "beat up'! it means used.Ill tell you what Ill show you my les paul 'gold top,,and then Ill light it on fire and piss on it, throw it out the window... and see if youll pay more after that!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if you dont baby youre guitars ,, and instead beat them up... youll never get the true worth back if you ever decide to sell it.. no one wants some guys scratches and ciggarette burns oin his guitar
@birdmankustomz666 A guitar is an investment, but the payback is the music that you make with it. There should be no concern as to what you're going to sell it for.
@birdmankustomz666 Because a musician doesn't buy a guitar, and then worry about the resale value of it. They only care about the music that they can make with it. That is the value of the instrument.
@amorical He was saying that if you don't be too careful in making sure your guitar doesn't get a single scratch on it, it will start to reflect your personality. Therefore, you won't want to sell it because its personal to you.
dude, the more worn and broken in a guitar is, the better. I'm gonna plaster my guitar with my own writing, some stickers, and a few dents from treating it like a good friend. Dont' baby your guitars. Wear gives them character.
It's taken from 'Get That Classic Fender Sound' (a Homespun DVD). He's Jim Weider (ex-Band, toured with Dylan etc, etc) and no, I don't think they are all his guitars, but some might be.
What effects are you using other than the echoplex? Is it on all the time in this video? I am considering either a '59 reissue or an older Super Reverb. Pros and cons on these?
Yup, your right... from a Fender info website: "Mid 1956 to current: All models used Alder as the body wood. The ONLY exception to this is if the model had a "blond" finish. In that case, the body would was ALWAYS Ash. For example, since the stock finish on a Telecaster is "blond" (a translucent white color), all blond Telecasters are made of Ash. If a post-1956 Stratocaster was ordered in blond, it too would be Ash."
Damn, I love old Fenders. DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN! That there is a players guitar. Nothin' fancy, no baubles, gold plated, pearl inlayed pretty boy bound neck bullshit. Just a players guitar. And that sound, NOTHING like it.
the 73 as i say is lovely, so i guess i should be pleased the newer guitars can also be of great quality. just to add, i found the new Taylor electric guitars a bit rough, at the fret edges! anyone else agree?
Very cool man. I bought a Tele today, and it's almost as great as yours. A major difference is that you're playing through a wonderful tweed amp, and I played mine through my Marshall and small Fender collection (I use solidstate amps: It's a preference, get over it). I'd love to have a Fender Tweed ANYTHING! I have a Minitwin, which is much more than a practice amp to me, but I'd like one of those you have.
I cant freakin believe someone wrote a message on that $20,000 guitar. Jesus. That lady plays like a dream. Love the style, perfectly suited for that telecaster.
when did fender start putting the adjustable truss rod on the headstock? I have a 1989 fender strat 62 RI but unlike your 55' tele the rod is only adjustable at the heel of the neck. Seems odd. Nice playin! And thanks!
The truss rod adjustment at the headstock didn't come out until around 1973. The '55 you're seeing here has the truss rod adjustment at the heel of the neck.
thanks for a great lession about vintage Fenders, and the lick at 4:50! I appreciate it! Nice old Tele's you got dare. Love your chops. If ya come to Boston, please let me know. I have an inlaid Tele you might like. I also wrote a country tune you would probably love. Wanna talk about it? Also - I want to twang-up an axe, what do you think of the Antiquity Twang pups? Thanks again. Take care.
Damn, that's some of the best tone I've ever heard. That's what happens when you combine a great player with a '50s Tele and Tweed amp. Nothing better.
( My daddy can't dance n' I can't too! ) Some people sitt around anolyzing everyone else.. Not healthy! Love what you do, Do what you do your way, it's fine! I build the tweed bassman with all NOS parts and it is the exact sound of the original.. Took me a couple of years in reseach, but it's right on.. My wife is crippled and I need the extra work, so pass it on! budampsDotCom if you catch my drift,, Look it over,,, Bud

A major difference is that you're playing through a wonderful tweed amp, and I played mine through my Marshall and small Fender collection (I use solidstate amps: It's a preference, get over it). I'd love to have a Fender Tweed ANYTHING! I have a Minitwin, which is much more than a practice amp to me, but I'd like one of those you have.

No, he doesnt't. I bought it about three years ago, but John Frusciante has never owned it as far as I know.

I cant freakin believe someone wrote a message on that $20,000 guitar. Jesus. That lady plays like a dream. Love the style, perfectly suited for that telecaster.

Oh Thanks for posting this!
Usually guys who play tweed amps sound all jagged and crazed.
This is smooth tweedness.

when did fender start putting the adjustable truss rod on the headstock? I have a 1989 fender strat 62 RI but unlike your 55' tele the rod is only adjustable at the heel of the neck. Seems odd. Nice playin! And thanks!

The truss rod adjustment at the headstock didn't come out until around 1973. The '55 you're seeing here has the truss rod adjustment at the heel of the neck.

thanks for a great lession about vintage Fenders, and the lick at 4:50! I appreciate it! Nice old Tele's you got dare. Love your chops. If ya come to Boston, please let me know. I have an inlaid Tele you might like. I also wrote a country tune you would probably love. Wanna talk about it? Also - I want to twang-up an axe, what do you think of the Antiquity Twang pups? Thanks again. Take care.

Damn, that's some of the best tone I've ever heard. That's what happens when you combine a great player with a '50s Tele and Tweed amp. Nothing better.

Hi, Don't worry about thoes poking fun.
( My daddy can't dance n' I can't too! ) Some people sitt around anolyzing everyone else.. Not healthy! Love what you do, Do what you do your way, it's fine! I build the tweed bassman with all NOS parts and it is the exact sound of the original.. Took me a couple of years in reseach, but it's right on.. My wife is crippled and I need the extra work, so pass it on! budampsDotCom if you catch my drift,, Look it over,,, Bud
