Fender Telecaster 52 reissue - Cm Blues

[darthdude1016]

far to underrated telecasters

[dirokIBC]

is your tele a premium ash body?

are all the 52 reissue's ash body?

[Jugglevision]

How far can you bend this one without it fretting out?

[thedeadliest]

petrified. just awesome sound and feelings output

[PF1964]

Nice video

What's the difference between V, C and U neck?

[davonwav]

Very tasty and no overplaying..Bravo !! as that is rare. Great tele..I have a '53 tele my dad bought new & the 52 is the closest in feel to the original bar none! Great stuff!

[PF1964]

Great sound and playing!!!

I can't wait for my tele Baja and my new Blues Junior III

Just don't have your skills yet!

Are you using any pedals or stompboxes?

[sbvikings30]

this is by far my favorite tele

[rekcilkcid]

i usually find most youtube guitar demos and the sort with blues and shit in um to be kinda elevatorish boring music, BUT THIS is actually nice listening music

and the guy reminds me of john frusciante when he has short hair =)

[glassslide]

Very nice playing---great tone out of that Tele!

[alizarin89]

Nice playing, man! That Tele has a lovely warm sound to it...

Oh, and is that a swanky bottle of Jack Daniels on the table behind you? :~)

[BluesZep]

@alizarin89

Jack Daniels is my favourite whiskey hehehe

[lickmyballsho]

@BluesZep

That explains why you look the way you do.

Great playing

[fendertexas]

GREAT MUSIC

[Cbluesrocker]

I am holding one of those guitars in my lap as i type this. It's my dad's and nobody has played it in like 3 months, so i thought i would pull it out and play some. Please come check out my vids where i play my tele. I'm a 12 year old blues guitar player.

[vitinhotheguitarman]

Olá , vejo seus videos e cara , quanta guitarra animal!Voce compra aqui no Brasil ou traz do exterior ? Tipo q to com uma fender deluxe player 's strat e uma Gibson SG standard , e tava atras de uma tele boa , ou a american deluxe ou essa , qual vc recomenda?

[NicosTuscani]

Thanks a bunch for your prompt reply! Well that's good to know, I thought I had a dead pickup. I'll probably keep it the way it is. I have another American Tele and I'll be happy to have both configurations. My only complaint about the '52 Reissue is the truss rod adjuster at the bottom of the neck instead of on the head stock. Oh well, I'll get over it. Thanks again.

[NicosTuscani]

Nice playing dude! I just picked up this same Tele tonight and it plays and sounds great. I noticed the neck pickup sounds dead though, is it supposed to sound like that or do I have a bum pickup? It's the position all the way to the left so I believe it's the neck pickup. It just sounds dead, any answers? Again, nice playing man.

[BluesZep]

@NicosTuscani

Your guitar is ok. The 52 reissue comes with a "vintage wiring". So, we have:

position 1 (right): bridge pickup

position 2 (middle) neck pickup, with tone control

position 3 (left): neck pickup, no tone control. in this position, neck pickup sounds too dark. This is how telecaster was wired in 1952.

However, people (include me) often change the wiring to a "modern", where you have neck/bridge on position 2 and neck pickup on position 3.

[bluesjuaky]

@BluesZep yo quiero comprarme la misma telecaster, tambien en la posicion del medio combinan la pastilla del puente y la del mastil,como esque no as hecho ese cambio??suena muy bien esa mezcla de pastillas??

[TOPPSSELLER]

Uh you just sold me on you and the 52 AVRI Tele. I'm buying one.

[lukegee12345]

Loving the Fingerstyle, sounds very Knoppfler-like soft rock to me. it just works, and once again, another brilliant vid. we want more! keep bringing them please :)

[acuity67]

@BluesZep Hey how do you go about composing these solos? You're able to piece the phrases together really well. Are there any tips you can give me?

[GANGULENCE]

this was great..

[Noseheros]

Still is too! XD

[Dorillo76]

yeah, that was really great, man, i loved it

[jhstony]

You have got to be a single guy with the Jack D bottle and all those beer cans on the sideboard. Who else would have all that on show in your living room!

My wife would clear it all out and put it in the fridge. Power to you man.

[FahQposeurfag]

i see you got a junior and c30...how would you say the Peavey compares to the fender

[BluesZep]

It's hard to explain, but they are different. BJ is cleaner and brighter, whereas Classic 30 has a more mellow sound.

[FahQposeurfag]

thanks...that's what it sounds like from your videos...the classic 30 sounds warmer but the BJ sounds tight as hell.

[ksgant]

Is this the one with the U-shaped neck and the original wiring and not the modern Tele wiring.

I mean, in the middle position it's just the Neck pick-up and not the combination of neck and bridge? Or is it the modern wiring?

Great playing btw.

[BluesZep]

Yes, U-shape and vintage wiring

[acodaniel1]

Man, awesome sound and playing!!! 5 stars!

[BluesZep]

Thanks so much!

[lucasvalebr]

it seems like a jazz man, cool.

[BluesZep]

THanks!

[EddieMaloney]

Have you modified your AVRI '52 at all? It sounds great!

[BluesZep]

It's stock, no mods. Thanks!

[EddieMaloney]

I just bought a used AVRI '52 online and it's is on it's way. You make me want to get a Blues Jr. too!

[BluesZep]

Hey man, your 52RI has already arrived? Are you enjoying it?

[marbnamgerb]

Great playing! And very nice backing tracks... Thnks!

Guess I will need some practice to keep up... ;-)

[tiddlywinks98712]

[Detman101]

Thank you for the awesome backing track as well. I use it a lot when I practice with my PX4D. Great playing as well as a beautiful tele.

[edsonpaulino]

Grande som !! Parabens essa tele na sua mao nao poderia estar melhor!! gostei do timbre o que usou? eu tenho um som com ela no video on the pipe nos meus videos se puder da uma olhada! Parabens abraço!

[leftystrat62]

That was really nice,you did a great job getting so many sounds out of your tele,I would have never guessed using a tele for a jazz based track. Is there a link where we can find that backing track-it was really nice.

[BluesZep]

Thanks! I'll upload the backing track and put on "more info", like you sugested. BTW, thanks for the tip.

[jplegori]

Bela guitarra.

A Les Paul vai ser sempre a numero 1 hehehe
