Honestly the single coil tele tones sound more interesting and colourful to me than the EMGs. That's not to say the EMGs are "bad" per se. It's just that all the metal players aspire to the same aesthetics from listening to the same bands and reading the same forums and end up using similar gear. The net effect is a sort of a "sameness of 'good' tone".

As a person that uses both Strats and Teles (well, G&L ASATs at least) for metal, I feel like the strat didn't get a fair shake. I know you said that you don't have any high-quality pickup equipped strats lying around, but if you ever do get one, a redo on that video would be cool. Maybe a G&L S-500, since those pickups have a bit more beef to them.

Heavy metal fun fact: The more distorted your tone is the less it tends to show in the mix. This is reason #768 why sound guys and studio engineers hate lead guitar players. LOL! The less distortion you have and the more overdrive, the more the guitar will show in the mix. AC/DC got those huge guitars on Back in Black by cranking the dog shit out of channel switching Marshall amps on the clean side, not the lead side. Those early model, channel switching JCM 800's made back then are legendary for the tones they produced when the input stage on the clean side of the amp was over driven to the point of exploding. Why does this matter? Because the low output Tele factory pickups do not produce a whole lot of distortion which makes them very good for creating overdrive on the right amp. Any fan of the Gibson P-90, which is a low output, single coil pickup, will agree. The only drawback is factory pickups don't really have the output in Db's like the EMG's so, the lows are not quite as tight and the mids are bit more present than they would be with the EMG's. In fact, this point is brought up in the video. I think the single coils sounded better than the EMG's.

@jtwee6590

this is very true, re: lead guitarists. my usual guitarist loves/loved turning everything up to 11 and just leaning into it. i spent a while tryin to tell him it'd kick through better if he rolled off the dials a bit, but no go. one day, he left all his stuff at my house cause we'd recorded all night, he was only workin a half day, so he was just gonna work-crash-record. while he was out, i ran through one of the songs we were recording, using all his gear to lay out my rhythm tracks and the very mild style lead i'm able to pull off. he was astounded at the results, and i showed him how i'd knocked his gain back just a little. the end result, tone-wise, was near identical, but had so much more headroom to mix with. he hasn't turned his gain up to max ever since

Ed Dana Actually, John 5 doesn't exclusively play hard rock/metal, although that's what he's best known for. If I remember correctly, he picked up the Tele for versatility, plus the fact that that was the first electric guitar he was exposed to (namely through the TV show, Hee Haw, which he was a fan of in his youth). Plus, I think he has a background in country music, and until he joined Manson, he was largely a session guitarist.

@jamesha175

jamesha175​ Actually, his early Teles from around the end of his Manson gig/start of his Zombie gig did have models with a humbucker in the bridge position with a traditional Tele neck single coil, as well as all single coil models, with Bigsby vibratos. These days, I think he's using mostly 2-hum models, some with Floyds, and if I'm not mistaken, he may even have some Teles with the Les Paul control configuration. I'll have to check some equipment vids again for the specifics on his recent Teles. I also know that John 5 has a massive collection of Teles at home, probably amounting to hundreds (I don't know the exact number off the top of my head, but I also don't want to exaggerate that number either), so he'll always have a Tele for something non-metal on hand.

Love the sound of the tele. Especially the solo. Has a warm buttery tone.

The humbuckers sound in one sense crisper and more precise, and had a more "traditional" metal guitar sound, but I was actually really surprised how much I loved the single-coils on this tracks! Such a gorgeous, warm, but sludgey tone! (Could just be me but it seems a little silly to me now how many versions of the Tele and Strat are around these days with humbuckers, when you can get such a rich tone for metal out of their traditional set-ups)

That's what I thought. The two lower strings on the single-coil sounded weak, but the higher registers were fucking amazing.

My tele has had a hotrails in it for years. I recently added a quarter pounder to the neck and its got everything I need.

Ever Since I saw Jim Root playing a Tele on “Dead Memories” Video, my mind changed about the Tele and it’s the guitar I’ve wanted for a years, Black on Black

Tele for life 😁 IMO tele sounded best in the final mix. Do it Glen, get a tele 😁

I agree with Sean Rutledge. I love the way it sounds and looks and everything. A tele in the hands of the right guitar player is as good as anything else. But idk what it is that everytime I've played one at a guitar shop it just doesn't feel right in my hands, which is a shame because it looks and sounds great. There's just something about it.

Bob Job Not everyone, I don't want one. Like I said the ones I played sounded great, but there was just something about the way they felt that just didn't feel right for me. I may have to give them another shot but from what I remember I didn't like the feel as much as other guitars. Don't know what it was. But hey, that's just me. Of course everyone else is different and no 2 guitar players are alike.

Oh My God. U made that standard Tele sound unbelievable playing metal! Awesome!!

I just built a T-style guitar kit and now have a new found interest in Telecasters. Something about that bridge pickup and downtuning just sounds right.

Toka Reva Well that's fine but to me it still sounds like there is some moderate blending of samples. There's nothing wrong with it, I believe everyone should use them if they want or need to.

i get the point here but people who worry too much about using the "right" instrument for their style are kind of silly to me. sometimes you can get the most interesting and unique results by thinking outside the box. i loved how just the normal telecaster sounded here.. and in the right context it would be great in a metal song. why are so many guitar players so nazi-ish sometimes? maybe it's because there are so many people who play guitar, a lot of them have to distinguish themselves or feel like they know more than the average person or something. music is an art form.. don't be a stale artist. take risks; do crazy stuff and don't be afraid to make mistakes sometimes.. otherwise what's the point? there are too many "normal" sounding players out there already. the stuff that interests me is the stuff that sounds different and unique. (of course it goes without saying though that the most important thing is the skill and creativity of the player; vs the guitar or amp or whatever they are using. how many times have we seen someone who thinks if they can JUST get this amazing guitar or amp, then they will "make it." if you're a lousy player then it really matters very little what type of rig you have. and an awesome player will make a $100 pawn shop guitar sound amazing. (sorry for the rant lol)

Maybe it's the same mindset that lead to the console wars. Ragging on other people's kit is really about trying to justify your own decisions. My thinking on the matter is that i own different types of guitars for the same reason i own different types of wrenches. They do different things. somewhat unrelated to your comment, i actually think the standard tele's sound was easily superior. But, to be fair, i'm not a metal fan.

The Tele sounds great. I like both, with the single coil and with the EMGs.

Glenn ... buddy ... you done it again man .... all your vids are great , but this video is EPIC ! Full of awesome production , playing and awareness of the facts in full . It is of my humble opinion that THIS VIDEO will sell THOUSANDS of Telecasters ! I just bought one .... go figure . This channel is the best there is . Made in Canada , of course ! Cheers from Montreal , bro . Keep them coming . All top notch classy stuff . Not a bad one in the batch .... and they keeping fresh long time bro . Great work ... again !

oh my goodness the lead guitar part was sooo clean and clear. that guy is a great player.

Don't know why it's not used more for metal. It's a damn good guitar, period.

I actually like the traditionally lower output single coil pickups that are standard in Telecasters. But then again, i only flirt with metal. I play heavily distorted sometimes, but i lean more towards hard rock or grunge sounds. Just recently got into the Squier bullet series fsr Telecaster and fsr Bullet Mustang, and they sound great. However, i find the mustang to be the ultimate metal sleeper guitar. For 150 bucks, you get a short scale with two really hot, very cheaply made humbuckers that sound great for metal somehow. And even more strange is that once you clean it up, the treble pickup allows for country twang sounds produced by the ultra-resonant body of the guitar. You can get a lot of country out of that mustang. And it sustains for ages. It's crazy.

As weird as It sounds, I used to play system of a down on a rosewood tele with single coils and 10s, I also found the gloss finished fretboard really helped out.

I like how some single coils sound with high gain. In this video, you can hear it has a lot more grit than the EMGs.

I thought the single coil sounded way better than the Jim Root model.

I seen a video somewhere one time with Soundgarden playing dark red colored Telecasters, both Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil. Sounded just as good, if not better than when they play their Gibsons.. Part of me has wanted a darker red colored Tele ever since.

In college, I was in the university's jazz band on keyboards. We had a "guitarist" who would show up with a B.C. Rich Warlock and a dual rec. Clueless about the changes, either because he was a metalhead, or more likely because he was a pothead who was perpetually lost in any gig. Power chords, all the gain, and scooped mids. In jazz. Now, I'm not a jazz guy, and wasn't then. But this stuck with me. Point being, a competent axe-slinger can adapt to a situation, regardless of the guitar they're using. A craftsman never blames his tools.

I mean I know people have this stigma of using the tone controls on their guitar (hence the Root model not even having them), but if the twangy brightness of the singles bothers you, it's remarkable what experimenting with it will do. Most humbuckers sound flat and compressed enough already so people that use them, especially hot ones, never touch the dang things. I use them all the time on my single coil guitars but I feel like I'm the only one.

@LoosegripGR

Spot on dude, I learned how to use the volume pot when I bought my strat. I still hate the tone pot because it takes the pick attack away but I might turn it down a bit for some clean stuff.

You know, I think the standard Tele gives a bit of an edge to the tone and also sounds really nice. It sounds more unique. The Jim Root Tele obviously has the chunky midrange too. I think putting them both together in a mix would give a really nice sound too.

I went to a metal concert today and the lead guitarist used a standard Fender Telecaster, it sounded fucking awesome

In 1997 here in South Africa, I went to a pawn shop and saw a Nocaster that had flatwound strings and an 80W Marshall Valvestat amp and was going for R3000.00 as a package - That is the equivalent of $600 in 1997 money. I was 18 at the time and had no money, but I should have made a plan to get it. Damn regrets.

Tele has been my favorite guitar ever since I tried a friends nashville b bender. I bought it off him not too long after. I haven't played "metal" since the early 90's, but it will get as mean and dirty as I ever need.

Single coils do metal leads very well. I used to play on a strat - watched a few videos that lead me to purchase a used Digitech Grunge pedal, and it really does the trick even for palm-muted power chord rhythm. Since then I've moved on to a Jackson King V with Duncan Distortion and although the Strat was doing great I'm not going back. But I might still bring my Strat for lead work in the studio:)

Probably already been said, but Death and The Healing by Wintersun was recorded on Jari’s father’s Tokai Telecaster. Not sure if it was pre or post lawsuit, but the song is so unique because it was recorded on a stock tele.

That single coil Tele sounded pretty good for metal in my opinion

I like both of the mixes

More like 'Can a non-metal player play metal'. I mean, even though Christian is an amazing player, his style isn't best for metal rhythm guitar, that made test a bit unclean imo. I propose another video: same guitars, same gear, same riff, but different players. My hypothesis is that a metal player can play metal on everything, the guitar doesn't matter that much.
