Mojocaster.com - Fender Telecaster Hot Rod 52 review

This guitar is US made, with a single Tele bridge pickup and a Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker in the neck position. The neck is medium chunky, the finish is butterscoth nitro - see through so you can enjoy the grain - and the guitar comes in a beautiful Fender Tweed case.

Gear used: Carmen Ghia by Dr Z for the amp, and an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb pedal.

good guitar and awesome review friend!

I was thinking about changing my standard tele neck PU to a humbucker PU

any suggestion?

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@KsideHb Fralin or Lollar is where I start :)

When you mentioned the chunky neck, what exactly are you comparing it to? Most telecasters have a chunky neck so just wondering how it compares to most telecaster.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@phriend2spin Most teles have a "standard C neck" which is really not that chunky unless you are used to skinny Ibanez necks :)

dude you have a speech impediment lol

and it makes you laugh? Some people, I tell you...

i NEED this guitar in my life

[Maafa1619]

I don't like the neck on the '52 Hotrod. They should have gone with a Vintage U-shaped baseball bat with a 7¼" radius. ...which is why I choose to build custom Wartmouth/AllParts Teles rather than buy a one-size-fit-all Fender.

before i owned this tele, i watched this video all the time so i could fantasize about it (the guitar) being mine! did you have problems though above the 12th fret on the high e string sounding a little too shrill and ear piercing? i'm trying to figure out how to warm that area up

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

looks amazing for slide =)...

[acledfloyd]

This is the best telecaster I have ever played. I recommend it to everyone.

[Candlejackerable]

@hjbrinner Nope, I own one and they are indeed different. Not sure how Fender wires the humbucker with the single coil but there is a distinct difference in tone.

[hjbrinner]

i'm pretty sure the middle position is still only the neck. i don't think there is a position to use both

[SuperMarioZombies]

Just got one. Awesome guitar. No brainer. You need this guitar in your arsenal.

@tommyaw123 It'll give you plenty of TWANG, that's for sure.

@97henrik pick up a fender and pick up a squier you'll know the difference

[97henrik]

what is the different between fender and squier?
