    Fender Telecaster

    Tone, tradition and innovation. Fender's new American Deluxe Telecaster is the 21st century way to rock with a Telecaster. The compound radius freeboard allows effortless string bending anywhere along the neck, and staggered locking tuners improve tuning stability for stunt guitarists who like to bend behind the nut. New ...

  • REDNECK!!! :D

  • That sound's great. Fender is the best!

  • I just got mine and it's sick!!!!!

  • Yeah that's the first thing I want to hear from a telecaster demo.......distortion.

  • @mpwiest70 I'm with ya!

  • @midislseguy haha :D

  • Omg his left hand technique... So many flaws.

  • do anybody know how many quantities are the telies made?

  • @corpsefacecollection They probably did a lot of them. Go check on ebay.

  • Comment removed

  • what the fuck?

  • He should have said the older Telecasters had a more CONVEX radius, not "concave."

  • 0:10 Paul does this type of music a lot better than he plays Metal. Much more convincing than the stupid chug-chug riffs he was doing on the Orange Dark Terror demo.

  • i don't really like fender guitars that much in comparison to gibsons, but that is fucking beautiful!

  • damn im trying to find a demo of a Hofner HAS D1-N cause its only 98€ and looks amaizing, aint some cheap shit... or maybe some youtuber have this guitar ? anyone ?

  • @rrgert4 i have a hofner acoustic. i doubt it's the exact one you're looking at because it's fairly old, but it sounds pretty good. i'm guessing that's euros? can't go wrong.

  • at 2:40 i hear a bubble pop

  • There's single coil guitars like the Stratocaster and the Telecaster.

    (This 60th Anniversary Tele is fantastic!  I bought a black one with a maple neck.)

    There's also humbucker guitars like the Gibson Les Paul.

    Besides the different-sounding pickups, Fenders have a longer scale-length than Gibsons which greatly affects the tone as well.

    Bolt-on necks are great if properly assembled and set-up and should not be considered inferior to "neck-through-body" guitars. Teles can do all musical styles!

  • i love the fullness and warmth with the amps tone but yet youre still able to hear the articulation and TWANG of a tele

  • whats with the distortion? 

  • I own a guitar just like that... It´s AMAZING!

  • I bought this today from GC. I have 30 days to return it. Should I keep it?

  • @Hegelcat

    Keep it.

  • I would damn love to have a tele in general :D

  • Hi Joe here! I'm here with my Taylor uhg. I mean shitty. I mean FENDER TELECASTER!

  • Not a fan of the split tuners. Got them on my hot rod 62 strat. pain having to measure and cut before winding.

  • Paul rules! I LOVE this guitar!

  • i am proud to say i own this guitar.and it is amazing

  • @ryan4391 is it a custom shop ?

  • @jamesdewer no

    

  • you can see he liked that guitar because he knew everything there is about  to know

  • did he just played "Say it ain't so" by Weezer with a different tempo @ 3:51-4:41

  • Thumbs up if Fender needs to bring back the Flathead series!!!

  • theres 22 frets and also theres 22 frets unlike vintage tele's. lol

  • Oh I was so hoping Paul would have tuned to Keef tuning and laid down some Brown Sugar on that thing. Maybe next time.

  • am i the only one who wants this guys job? ;D

  • the intro reminds me instantly of Foo Fighters!

  • SICK!!

  • Smokin superTele

  • oh another tele? i could swear paul said "new guitar" at the start of the video.

  • I want.

  • @ophaunt7 , it`s because John5 plays tele and he`s uploading videos for guitarworld too.

  • what does paul 5 mean ?!?

  • @sykhophaunt7 John 5-with the telecaster-Paul 5 :d get it?

  • that tele is fucking delicious

  • im in luv *0*

  • In my opinion.. That bridge pickup is terrible.

    I want to hear the neck pickup clean and also with some decent distortion..

  • I keep thinking about getting a Tele, I just have no idea what I'd do with it. I hardly have a use for a Tele style guitar.

  • i really want a tele but they just dont seem like 1400$ guitars, no ?

  • @mongoose979 I saw a used Ash Tele that weighed like 4.5 pounds, guy wanted 800 or so for it. You can get one for far less than retail. Check out Squire's Classic Vibe series, or some of the other teles...you can get a good one for far far less than that. But you're right they don't seem like $1400 guitars.

  • @HurricaneTBag : tks. you have a link for 'Squire's Classic Vibe' ??

  • I like how there no freet bord

  • Fine, don't tell us what amp you're playing it through then. pfft.

  • nice guitar ill take it...XD

  • sounds like a telecaster...I wonder what the markup is on "60th anniversary edition"

  • @roadkillscjim Ehh...sounds like there's a lot of adjustments that you can make too it that make it worth a little bit more than a typical tele. There's more than just what a guitar sounds like that matters, it also matters how it feels. Some guitars are super comfortable and you can get set up just the way you want to. That's worth a bit extra in my mind.

  • If Paul would jam with me with that Tele, I would totally let him fist me. Deeply.

  • @projectgoatse lol u made it awkward my lil bro asked me what it means if u fist someone

  • @blazingboy42 @projectgoatse hahahahahah! God, i lol'd pretty hard!:D

  • @DavidPercan i lol'd just as bad and told him that he's too young

  • @blazingboy42 lmfao haha

  • Does all of the Standard american models (this year obviously) have the 60'th anniversary plaque for the bolt on neck plate? Fender made my American Standard in March and it has the anniversary plaque on it. Also I'm guessing that years from now the anniversary plaques with make the guitar worth a little more than if they didn't have the plaque?

  • this is $1,800 :(

  • yay no more of that taylor thing....

  • i got this as my frist guitar back in 07. god i loved that guitar and still do. too bad i played it so much i warped the neck :'(

  • @gunraykilla feel ur pain bro, lost my fav strat recently for the same reason. :(

  • @loudspeaker003 i mean the warped neck, i can fix. but the worn down frets from so much play. it just cant happen, i only had the guitar for a year and a half. i bought it used off of a guy for 350 and it was practicly brand new. no fret wear, nothin. then i played it so much the frets just flatted out on me, its so bad you almost cant even play it.

  • @gunraykilla yeah, thats what happened to me. i mean it took longer, but the neck was warped, frets were gone, the thing wouldnt even stay in tune. it sucks cuz that thing was like, THE guitar for me ya know?

  • @loudspeaker003 mine stayed in tune great, but the frets just kept goin. ill bet its becuase my action was so low

  • @gunraykilla idk exactly what happened to mine, but I think it just had been through so much that it just ran out of steam finally. did get a tele as a replacement from my tech so it aint all bad.

  • sounds soooooo good!

  • una bestia esa guitarra dond la venden..¡¡

  • it's cool to see paul getting better each new video

  • Well, I've got three things to say about THAT Telly; I want one, I want one, (and) I want one!!!

  • *guitargarsm* 

  • grant it most gibosns these days are pretty shitty but saying the 335 and the les paul are the only useful things gibson has ever put out is a very idiotic and ingorant statement

  • I wanna get a tele sooo bad!

  • well at least the tone is 10 times better on this vid than the last few

  • It sounds to stratty, a tele should sound beefier than a strat.

  • @StainIessChina You've got it totally backwards. A Telecaster is designed for a Twang-type sound.

  • they have thick midrange as well as being twangy. which is why if you back off on the tone a little bit then it sounds more like a humbucker or p-90

  • @primusdude87 All fenders have at least a bit of twang, the telecaster was actually designed for jazz which typically doesn't call for a twangy sound, but teles, jaguars, and jazzmasters generally sound much fatter than strats, strats are like in the middle of the twangy spectrum, the really twangy ones are mustangs, duo-sonics, and Lead IIs.

  • Fender suck! Even the anniversary editions have bolt on necks

  • @JONATHANCABRALES8 Whats wrong with bolt on necks?

  • @JONATHANCABRALES8 because any guitar with a bolt on neck is a piece of shit right? idiot.

  • @JONATHANCABRALES8 wow you have no idea about electric guitars do you? lol

  • Anyone got a spare grand?

  • he usus diaddario strings

  • Phil x should do the gear demos for gw

  • @drumsnfarts20 nah he's too good for them

  • @drumsnfarts20 :O! But Paul is AWESOME

  • @drumsnfarts20 All Phil X does is play other peoples shit... Paul at least is original!

  • @drumsnfarts20 He's to awesome. Thats why he does demos on the frettedamericana channel

  • pauls badass

  • Well... that's a Tele as it should be! Except the bridge! :P

  • much better than that fucking taylor

  • @lawdymellons yeah better than the taylor, but not as good as his black les paul, and that not even as good as his charvel

  • @MrYungsan Ha an epiphone, better than a fender, stop lying to yourself.

  • @StainIessChina anything affiliated with Gibson will always be better that a Fender, as far as sound, sustain, aesthetic appeal, and versatility. just because jimi hendrix used one doesn't make it great. remember he switched to Gibson just before he died.

  • @MrYungsan No not quite... Jimi did not "switch" to playing Gibson guitars just before he died, he used them sporadically throughout his career. I'm not going to get into the guitar argument with you, because guitar choice is very personal, everyone is looking for something else in there instruments. To make a broad statement though majority of Gibson's & Fender's instruments they are producing today are crap, unless you would like to pay extra from custom shop and masterbuilt models and so on.

  • @MrYungsan Also the same can be said for Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, they changed from Gibson to Fender. Also you have the next generation of guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan that choose to play Fender.

  • @MrYungsan Ok that's complete garbage my SG Classic and Les Paul Studio are decent guitars but they are pieces of shit compared to my American Deluxe Strat, and my original 79 Lead II, Gibson makes some pretty low quality guitars actually, PRS, Gretsch, Fender, Rickenbacker, Guild, Framus, Hagstrom, and Carvin all make way better guitars than Gibson, Gibson hasn't come out with a decent guitar since the 90s it's sad but it's true.

  • the bridge, too bad..

  • wow that sounds jizzable

  • Such a fat sound, unbelievably incredible <3

  • look how that thing is shining... beautiful thing *_*

  • @Jomoko123

    he was just saying that he wanted fender to come out with some new guitars designs and not reissuing a bunch strats and teles. i really did wish fender made some brand new guitar designs.

  • i wish i had a tele love to play slide on those.

  • nice playin' !

    plus this guitar sounds awesome!!!

  • Paul 5....or maybe Paul Root

  • He's definity a skilled player, and doesn't sound like a sweep picking robot. lol. I respect him very much, but I don't really fall in love with his style/sound. Everyone has their own prefrence tho, but he is definitely awesome.

  • I've never been a tele guy, but DAMN!!! O.o Me want!!!

  • am i the only person in america that thinks ash trays are cool

  • he's gotten so much better over the years, love him

  • fender never disappoints

  • when is fender going to come out with something new? im so sick of all these teles that look EXACTLY THE SAME.

  • @gnrmanmatt Dude, the shape of the tele is based on the Broadcaster, the worlds first commercially successful solid body electric guitar. This is 'genesis' if you will. Plus, it still works as well as it did 60 years ago so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • @Jomoko123 i own a reissue 52 tele bro and i love it but its boring that fender isnt coming out with different guitars

  • @gnrmanmatt Sorry, misinterpretation there on my part. I can see your point, but check out the Modern Thinline and the Reclaimed Redwood Teles, they're pretty awesome.

  • @Jomoko123 thanks, i will :)

  • @Jomoko123 I'm with you. Say no more. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    gnr... There are soooo many colours and small changes on each model of the tele and strat that you have no clue.

  • @gnrmanmatt go take a look at Carvin's tlb60, and youll be truly amazed.

  • @gnrmanmatt They ARE coming up with new things... Blacktops, pawnshop series for example.

    Except that.. Why change a winning concept?

  • @DavidPercan all i want is new colours and slight design changes

  • @gnrmanmatt wtf man the always arrange some things in the guitar to make them better !!!!!

    thats why they sometime look the same and if you want something different make a custom one !!!!

  • im just watching all this vids to hear him play xD

  • i fucking want that.

  • I have the 100th Anniversary on pre-order. Lets cross off another day on my countdown calander...DONE! Now what do I do...

  • I seen that cool Telecaster, Kyle.

  • on other reviews you git tards make fun of the guy but here yall love him?

  • Who wants to bet that John 5 has this guitar rite know

  • @theBOSSDS1 who wants to bet he has 7?

  • Tele's are the shiz,that's why I'm TelePaulCaster.haha

  • two please!

  • the sexiest tele ever in my opinion ur damn lucky paul!

  • Can't wait for the 75th anniversary Tele!

  • You don't have to call a Telecaster an Electric Solidbody; we KNOW.

  • @GuitarBlues3 He probably said it to distinguish between this one and the Thinline series.

  • i absolutely love the telecaster ! will always be my no.1 instrument.

  • 9 1/2 flat....? Try 18

  • @phatfieldguitar Try Vigier's flat radius.

  • @wedor0907

    they have reviewed gibsons and fenders before they just havent done either in a wile

  • Anybody who dislikes Paul, is ridiculous. 

  • I only used stratocasters, but I just love the shape end the sound of Telecasters.

  • @HUNhonved haha same here..only thing i dont like about strats is the body shape...its got that high curve up top and im not really compfortable with that..im used to the low cut body shape like the tele and les paul

  • why can't guitar world do anything with Gibsons

  • @wedor0907 maybe they realize gibson only produces over priced shit nowadays.

  • @wedor0907 Because the only useful piece of equipment Gibson ever made was the 335 and the old school Les Paul.

  • @phatfieldguitar how about the explorer flying v or the sg? what, theyre all peices of shit?

  • The problem I see is that Paul can make any guitar sound amazing.

  • Paul 5

  • @progreggae ahahahahaha i laughed so bad when i read that

  • @progreggae wtf y 116 likes? i dun get it...

  • @MasterConsular John 5 is playing tele's and since Paul have been practicing a LOT I thought to cheer him up :)

  • paul played pretty good this episode

  • @YdocTheMad episode?????

  • great guitar, great sound, and great playing, thanks paul!

  • and in 10 years, theres gonna be a 70th anvniversary Tele

  • @Mo7Vsta Really? Ya think so? lol

  • Sounds nice, I didnt knew Fender has Anniversary now..btw, Ive never liked the telecaster shape very much..

  • o hai

    

  • Ive never been first, but great review.
