Wonderful guitar, the tones and styling of a vintage Fender with the attributes that a modern player would want it to have. I bought this guitar in Black from Fox UK Music a couple months back and man, the f**king tone and raw power just through a little fender 10g amp was immense! search them up 'fox products' they're a couple results down from the top of page.
I have a question. I've been looking into Teles for a long, long time, and when I found out about the HH version, I became split. Coming from a Punk rocker, I've always wanted a chance to rock out on a Humbucker, and with the amount of treble the Tele puts out would just be amazing. But because its a HH set up, do I lose that classic treble vibe or does it still retain that Tele sound?
@NJP695 Still retains the sound. These humbuckers are voiced for Teles, not like there balls-to-the-wall actives. Of course its not 100% tele vibe since that comes from single-coils, but close enough. Teles are the most versatile guitars in the world.
@Bludhoundz8 They're pretty much single coil guitars. A Gibson with a veritone or coil tap is more versatile. Not to mention that nowadays pretty much any of these old designs (Which are still the best in my mind) are rendered completely obsolete in terms of versatility with the new Variax's and that ugly Firebird X etc. :)
@Nickpatient Haha, true, true =p But the Firebird X is massively expensive... and ugly... dunno what Gibson was thinking. I don't see these designs as obsolete, but rather tried and true systems. We still use them and they won't be obsolete until guitars like the Firebird X start to become mass produced and robots start to walk the earth. (which i hope never happens!)
@Bludhoundz8 I really hate Variax and Firebird X type guitars to be honest. I think they just distract people from actually playing. As Keef would say "Is it a tool or is it a toy?". What'dya think of Tele's with P90's? I have a 335 (Which to me is the Gibson camp's equivalent to the Tele) and I want to be able to fill out the rest of the tonal spectrum with another guitar. I really love Tele's and want to have one but, I just can't deal with single coil pickup harshness.I love P90's though. :D
@Nickpatient Yes, exactly! Took the words right out of my mouth. Thats why I like to keep effect pedal usage to a bare minimum, and only use the essentials (pretty much nothing except for a noise supressor), um.. I've never played a Tele with a P90 before. Seymour Duncan offers some noiseless single-coils, by the way :) And they sound amazing. Personally I just prefer a bridge humbucker for that warm, agressive bite, and a neck single-coil for that awesome clean tone. :) My personal fav setup.
Oh god, just spend more time on planning your reviews, they are kinda pointless and play clearer tones, you sound like a 14 year old kid who has just learned Sweet child o' mine...
Hi, do you think there is a difference in quality between the MIM and the MIA makes of this guitar? I bought one online and it is an MIM, but I've never played an MIA so I'm not sure what the differences between the MIA would be
@redukonio I did the same thing to my Blacktop Stratocaster, and i've never looked back. I can play anything from Journey to Metallica. They're EMG's, and in a Blacktop they just look plain sexy. Tell me how you like it man!
@stavroszottas on the strat there are five pickup positions and a tremolo, the tele has three pickup positions and no tremolo, both are made of alder and have maple or rosewood fretboards.
@rowdybridges Thanks, I'm going for the Epiphone Goth Explorer (and put the emg's 81/60's in them) but i'm going to buy it in octobre, so I got plenty of time to reconcider
(sorry for bad English, I'm Dutch.)
BTW: For all the people who think that Dutch is the same as French, You're an Idiot. Most people don't even speak French
look your revieews are great but since im lookin for buyin one of this i really like HOT pickups so whichones are hotter the tele or the strat or the jaguar or the jazzmaster
@BMXBOBO For me it was down to red with rosewood or black with maple. When I saw them in person, there was no question which one I was getting. The black looks absolutely wicked.
proper job on the video...i was wondering wether i needed to replace the pick ups if i bought this guitar but this shows i dont...thanks dude, mega helpful vid!
Nice sound. I wonder why no one records himself playing ska on Telecasters. If you know ska stuff i would be very thankful to you if you do some ska rhythms.
would you say $450 is cheap for this guitar? Even tho its a Fender, does it matter that it costs so little? :\ Because i'm thinking of buying one of these?
I would install a 500K Push/pull tone pot so I could wire the two pick ups to be either in series/Parallel, or just have them both split for a lower out put single coil tones. With the push/pull pot you will now have 6 completely different usable tones* I'm just wondering if those Hums in this Blacktop have 4 conductor leads, and if these pick ups are actually potted well to withstand Hi MESA BOOGIE MARK IIC + tone with no squealing. Thanks for the info Tone KIng. JL
I only have 2 questions...1: Is this guitar good for some clean sounds too, or is it ment only for distorted sounds? 2: Does the maple or rosewood fretboards affect the sound of the guitar? If yes, in what way? I'm really interested in this guitar because I want to buy a Telecaster, but I just need to decide which...:) This one has taken my attention because it's pretty and it's sounds great too...I've been playing guitar for 3 years and it's time for me to get to a different level...:)Thanx!:)
@SpearmintSixString It's the same knobs that Fender uses on their amps. They usually use different knobs on their guitars, but I really like the look of the amp knobs.
Great review but I've noticed that I can barely hear you when you speak so I have to turn it up until the guitar comes blasting back. What are you recording with and how do you set it up?
TK, Is the maple fretboard really shiny and smooth? Is there much tone difference in the Maple and Rosewood fretboards? My USAStrat has a Maple but Tele's are more twangy by nature. Same with this one?
Sorry Tone King... i have lost all faith in fender and gibson anymore. i prefer japanese made guitars anymore. japanese ibanez or japanese esp's not ltd's. the mexican fenders are alright but i dont like the play on words... like "American Select" fenders... meaning "mexican made fenders hand picked by americans to sell as american select" i have a buddy i use to work with who lives in ensenada who worked for fender... such a disappointing company anymore. so sad...
@kornelious1 I've actually been very pleased with my 2010 American Standard Telecaster. They made a number of changes in 2008 to the line, and I think they've been very positive. A very smooth, fast action. Great neck, good fretwork. I don't think you get Fender's best without getting the actual American-made stuff.
@CyborgTwinkee alright noob... if you want to pay the price for an american guitar for a mexican replica be my guest... frankly there is no mass produced guitar out there thats going to play as well as a custom shop guitar... but if you still want to be a noob you go right ahead and support mass produced guitars for the custom price... go for it genius.... just so you know people do care lol... idiot
I was saying no one cares about what YOU play. So as I stated before, shut the fuck up. People will play guitars they want to play. If you're going to bitch about Fender products do it elsewhere. Not here you faggot.
@CyborgTwinkee lol... you need some riddlin son... cant hold a debate or conversation without losing your temper... do you think people take you intelligently when you can't speak intelligently? your a fine example of societies low income under educated population... i'm shocked you can log into youtube withought having to click the "forgot password link" your parents must be proud... maybe you need to listen to some barry mannilow to offset your anger.. or get some anger management... L O L ..
I love how you try to make fun of my intelligence but you don't know how use "you're" properly. So you have no say in any matters of intelligence. I am not mad, you are posting hatred for Fender on a video reviewing a Fender product. And if you're so smart why are you slinging insults like a child? I wasn't trying to argue either, you just got butthurt by my first comment and now pick a fight. Fender is better than the shit brands you mentioned. Deal with it.
I dunno, but IMO a tele is not a tele with 2 humbuckers... my buddy has a G&L tele with 2 humbuckers and I told him the same thing. It is an awesome sounding guitar, but a tele is suppost to be a tele.
i wish i had the money to just buy a guitar like u. ive been saving for the blactop jazzmaster thats my dream guitar and fender finally made it i wish i had the dough to buy it now, but i gotta sell some gear in order for me to be even close :(
@Hallman88 you should check out the Jim Root signature Tele... comes with EMGs already in it, plus its a Mahogany body I think. There's also a Strat version same spec
I highly recommend the Fender American Standard Telecaster. I was shocked by the quality of the guitar. The neck is a dream, the frets are finished superbly, and you can get a very low fast action. The FAST has wonderful tone and sustain, better than many set-neck/neck-through guitars I've tried. The electronics are of very good quality as well, and you can get some burning metal tones out of the treble pickup in conjunction with the tone knob. A Tone King review in the future, perhaps?
Well tone king, congratz... if you are reviewing any more valve amps, that's the kind of axe we need to hear to be aware of tone.. anyhow... if you got a les paul with p90 pickups that would be supreme, lol
wow really nice clean tones :O,awesome review as always :),greetings from your number one mexican fan haha :D,i always enjoy a lot chating with you on fb lol :)
Fine looking piece of gear there. Good choice on the maple fretboard! Sounds pretty nice through that marshall too! Really dig those riffs at the end of the video!
these are a HELLUVA deal for $450 - totally kickass. I'd want a black one with a maple fretboard... I used to have a Tele, but it was with the standard single coils.
Finally the video of the Blacktop series. Hot sounding guitar. I would have to get the Red one. I do like the Strat headstockbetter on the Telecaster Deluxe better but not almost $200 better. LOL Great video.
I bought one to try out at the beginning of the month, but I did ultimately take it back. Sexy black tele with rosewood board. Well made, felt great-- no complaints on that front. But, the neck pickup was real muddy and the bridge pickup is a little weaker than I'd like. If I had felt like making the extra investment to changing the pups, I would have kept it-- but such was not the case right now. Still, for the current price, it's a really nice guitar.
that sounds [insert random tourettes outburst] awesome!! Nice sound on the amp too! Those blueslicks ... mhmm.. like the guitar begs you to play with it .. ok, sounded a bit wierd, but you know what i mean ;)
Great sounding AXE!!!!!!! Im kinda in the Fenders are supose to be single coil camp but I preffer to use humbuckers so this would deffenately get me to put one of these in my arsenal! I love the old single coil ones too they just arent as suited for how I usually play.
Its ok. A gibson never fails! Lol

NOT IMPRESSED. HOWEVER, I AM IMPRESSED BY THE GEAR AVAILABLE.

I dunno, but IMO a tele is not a tele with 2 humbuckers... my buddy has a G&L tele with 2 humbuckers and I told him the same thing. It is an awesome sounding guitar, but a tele is suppost to be a tele.

@Hallman88 you should check out the Jim Root signature Tele... comes with EMGs already in it, plus its a Mahogany body I think. There's also a Strat version same spec

what the hell took Fender so long to make this guitar?? its awesome. inexpensive humbucker tele should be a no brainer.

I highly recommend the Fender American Standard Telecaster. I was shocked by the quality of the guitar. The neck is a dream, the frets are finished superbly, and you can get a very low fast action. The FAST has wonderful tone and sustain, better than many set-neck/neck-through guitars I've tried. The electronics are of very good quality as well, and you can get some burning metal tones out of the treble pickup in conjunction with the tone knob. A Tone King review in the future, perhaps?

Well tone king, congratz... if you are reviewing any more valve amps, that's the kind of axe we need to hear to be aware of tone.. anyhow... if you got a les paul with p90 pickups that would be supreme, lol
Gratz for your new guitar, tottally rocks

Fine looking piece of gear there. Good choice on the maple fretboard! Sounds pretty nice through that marshall too! Really dig those riffs at the end of the video!

these are a HELLUVA deal for $450 - totally kickass. I'd want a black one with a maple fretboard... I used to have a Tele, but it was with the standard single coils.

strings that go though the body, what does that do to the sound, compared to the other types

@kaleluk31 increased sustain, supposedly.

Finally the video of the Blacktop series. Hot sounding guitar. I would have to get the Red one. I do like the Strat headstockbetter on the Telecaster Deluxe better but not almost $200 better. LOL Great video.

I think these guitars are a great value as some of Fender's most innexpensive offerings. Thanks TTK for the demo.

I bought one to try out at the beginning of the month, but I did ultimately take it back. Sexy black tele with rosewood board. Well made, felt great-- no complaints on that front. But, the neck pickup was real muddy and the bridge pickup is a little weaker than I'd like. If I had felt like making the extra investment to changing the pups, I would have kept it-- but such was not the case right now. Still, for the current price, it's a really nice guitar.

sounds muddy as fuck, terrible. maybe with a pickup change it sounds good, but those things are garbage

Great sounding AXE!!!!!!! Im kinda in the Fenders are supose to be single coil camp but I preffer to use humbuckers so this would deffenately get me to put one of these in my arsenal! I love the old single coil ones too they just arent as suited for how I usually play.

They're called witch hat knobs. You can change them to the standard metal ones if you want, they're pretty cheap.
