Hey Andy, I'd be interested in hearing what you'd have to say about the Classic Player Baja Telecaster. Any chance there'll be a review for that in the near future?
Hey PGS! Massive love for your channel, You've been a massive help with pedal reviews and Andy's demos are always golden. I've actually got a question, I've got a strat (who doesn't) Japan 1990 as my main axe, and I'm looking for humbuckers to compliment, or at least something fatter like P90s. At the mo it's between this Tele Black dove, the Thinline Deluxe with twin HBs, or an Gibson SG 60's trib? What best compliments a strat? Also, where are the two fender models made? Thanks alot guys x
which guitar's pickups are better on the deluxe for chord/rythym stuff. The P-90 or the Wide Range Humbuckers. Why? I personally like Eddie Vedders tele with P-90's, but I have not been able to hear one of these in person, and surprisingly no a lot of videos online compared to the 72 deluxe.
@ad1170 Ya, I agree I think it have been at least nicer to have tele bridge instead of a strat style bridge. Maybe even three saddles instead of the six, and I agree with you about the headstock.....
alright cmon, what pedal do you stomp on before you play the soundgarden? should definitely be telling us that kind of information, definitely good to see how it reacts to OD though
Maybe it's just me, but I've never heard anyone make a p90 guitar sing the way a Strat, Les Pual, or even a standard Tele will. Is this the guitars fault, the amps, or the players. Otherwise, I think p90s are epic, and this was an awesome demo!
The lack of sparkle i heard shocked me...until i saw the hot rod deluxe. Very warm amp, not sparkly like the AC30s and deluxe reverbs typically in your guy's other tele videos.
Does this guitar have a bright and fat sound when you use it at high distortion? which fender guitar do you recommend that has good sound quality when using high distortion without losing clarity of sound, could be this one?
I creamed myself. This will definitely be my first high quality guitar. Another week or two of work plus debt collection from friends and I should have it!
could someone please tell me which radiohead song it is? i can't quite remember and its driving me nuts. also, seriously want this guitar, might have to start on a cheaper tele though :(
is the neck like a tele neck or like a strat neck ? im used to a tele neck wich is flatter and wider than a strat neck, and when i tried strats i didnt like the neck
Hey! is that de "crimson transparent" fender color? or is another kind of fender red color? because i've seen many pictures of the crimson transparent and in every pic the color is different. In this video, the color looks very clear, so i just wanna know if thats the "red" color im gonna see. thnx
I got a vintage 73 tele deluxe for half price about 8 yrs ago. The electronics weren't original and the body was routed in the centre. The first thing I did was have a p90 in the bridge and two texas specials in the neck and middle with a 5way strat switch. Its the most versatile guitar I've owned.
in a way..... they're single coils, but they do sound fatter compared to the usual Fender-type single coils.
I've got ta Tele Custom II - the Squier version of this model - which is unbelievably good for a £200 guitar. I'm naturally curious as to how tthe fender will compare. I'll have to try one out sometime.... maybe when the bank balance says yes. :)
Hey I'm trying to decide between this guitar or a Fender '72 Tele Deluxe, I'm into more distorted kinds of tones and i cant decide which one to get...which one would you guys recommend?
@Dodger823 hmm... i'd say go for this, because the pickups are more close to humbuckers, so you'd getter a fuller sound under distortion. But i'd play both, and see which you like best :)
been looking for a classic guitar for a while, decided to choose a fender over a les paul, but i didnt want a strat, i played this tele in the shop and loved it!. was hoping for a full tele/classic package with the thin headstock but i can deal with it
The Radiohead bit got me all happy inside. That's the kind of thing I'd love to play on this guitar. The pickups are perfect for that kind of ringing, piercingly sweet tone.
yeah ^^ but they make also the deluxe with 2 humbuckers if you're looking for even fatter tone .
i am not really into humbuckers now , i rather play single coil guitars . The guys who think a fat , inexpressive "modern metal" tone is ballsy must try a telecaster and a cranked twin.They just will know what business guitar is really about:delicate nuances , from gentle whispers to roaring loud-as-hell tones . All of it by just changing the way you play
That's Optimistic! I just finished listening to that song, and then I watched this video, and he started p[laying it, and that was like weird conincidence... Look for Radiohead - Optimistic
It really doesn't matter what is played though does it? A few chords and a little riff and I have a pretty good idea if I like something or not. BTW He's playing them right.
@Hoodrio That's the point... they are NOT supposed to be like other P90's. They're made to be different, and they sound great for what they are... a P90 style PU that still maintains some classic Fender tone. If you want Gibson P90 tone, buy a Gibson, if you want Fender Black Dove tone, buy Fender, if you want Fralin, TVJones... you get the point. Not to mention the effect of pots, caps, scale length ...
Too bad they had to use Fender amp knobs for tone/vol. Those would go in the case and get replaced with some tele knobs. Just my 02. Good sound though.
