Any chance you could check out an Epiphone Genesis? You could compare an OG (late 70's early 80's) with the reissues.

Would be cool if Fender and Gibson teamed up and did alternate reality guitars and do each other's famous guitars in their own shapes!

Fender forgot to chew up the fretboard, put finish blemishes everywhere, leaving polish compound in the joints, crack the neck pocket, weaken the headstock and figure out the Gibson trademark secret of poor tuning stability. They also forgot to over price it by $1k

@TurtleRocker12

The poor tuning stability you speak of comes from the sharp angle on the head stock and the way the strings divide at the headstock. I think it was designed before you bent a lot and when everybody had a wound g

Thanks for the commentary and demo. I've been on the fence about pulling the trigger on a tribute guitar and this was helpful. All the best.

I don't usually comment on your content as you are really busy, but your comments have inspired me to to make one I've a 69 tele to build next as it's my birth year, but I have the design in my head now, thanks. 👍

Hey trogly, your playing is getting noticeably better! Keep up the great content and hard work sir. 👍

WOW! It sounds fantastic!!!

Great demo & vid, Austin! Can't wait to shred on one.

There are far better channels dedicated to that task than Trogly here... He uses wire-wool to clean his fretboards, something no self-respecting lutheir would ever countenance. All those shards of rust-gathering steel strands stuck under the frets... Not forgetting the dust, or miniscule scratches everywhere. . Troglly is cool for 'general information' mostly about Les Pauls', though he does have a good wealth of knowledge on most of the top brands. And is very good at spotting scams and fakes. But when it comes to guitar maintenance/repair, look elsewhere.

Love it! My favourite Tele

I love the sound of that guitar. Great playing.

These are quite an upgrade from what I remember as the Telecaster Deluxe. I'm glad you demonstrated the differences in this video. But, this is a good faith effort by Fender to put loyal Gibson users in a "comfort" zone. I think that's why you, and other Gibson aficionados like it so much. Nice job on this. Great demo tunes as well. Love it.

Rocking the Tool, nice job Trogly!

looks amazing!

It still came out to be a unique guitar. As a standalone without any comparison to the LP, it's pretty sick.

I love these guitars. I think more companies should do this instead of just trying to copy one to one. And fender stays true to their roots with this one.

I was always confused why fender sells wide range hum buckers today as wide range even though they aren’t really wide range, they aren’t the CuNiFe magnets anymore they are just wax coated AlNiCo, it’s just really frustrating to me and now you can get the CuNiFe ones from the custom shop which is nice, but I just wish they didn’t just put a regular hum bucker underneath a wide range plate and call it a wide range hum bucker

@alanthompson3493

4 жыл бұрын

I think these are standard humbucker-size Shawbuckers, not the larger Wide Range HB's. In any case, Fender is now making real CuNiFe WRHB pickups with the original construction, only for a couple of guitars so far. It was just announced at the NAMM show. They finally were able to source the correct magnets, which they will also be the distributor for.

Last time I looked CuNiFe loaded replica pickups were $500 each, the originals were made for Fender by Lace (although designed by Seth Lover), and they came up with the sensor as CuNiFe magnets were getting hard to source.

Samick made Epiphones will have the 3 adjustment humbuckers. My 1993 g310b had those on the batwing pickguard. Actually.. An SG pickguard would have been sick on this

Like the tool playing!

great camerawork again during tha player demo and loved the TOOL nod. That riff is what made me want to play guitar.

Critiquing the kerning between characters in the font on the poker chip, now that's a person with an eye for detail, well done.

This one stands out for sure in both looks and sound. And that neck!

I freaking love that thing.

Thank you for including the both pickups on setting in the tone demo. It’s annoying as hell when players only go back and forth between the bridge and neck and pretend the option of using both doesn’t even exist. It’s even more annoying when they do that when demo-ing a guitar with two volume and two tone nobs, ignoring the tones that can be created by adjusting those when both pickups are on.

Frickin" beautiful guitar. Sounded great gained up!

love the use of the tool riff

Wow, some great filming,

Cant wait for the black beauty troublemaker review!!

I am a Fender guy thru and thru and I absolutely love these Telecasters they look and play so good I would take one over just about any Gibson except for a really nice Gold Top

I'm liking it a lot.

Thank you for the Kg... it helps! 👍

Nice Tool tones 👍👍👍

Awesome!!!

Tele Deluxe's are one of my all-time favs. They are true workhorse guitars.

Great b-roll Trogly!

I like it the Tele versatility added to the lineup

sounds great

Beautiful guitar

I am getting one. That is a great Tele and love the aesthetic.

cool stuff man

I think I am going to have to try one out, Liking the vibe of it.

im in love with the metalic blue one

To put that large headstock in perspective with the times just watch a few old Partridge Family reruns. Wide ties and extremely large shirt and jacket collars were the norm. Elvis's costumes of the same period also sported the huge oversized collars to go with his 70's period long and wide side burns. Eyeglasses from the 70's were also oversized frames. Elvis, Elton John and John Denver all wore big 70's style eye wear. Perfectly in tune with the large wide headstock's of the day.

I have an all Warmouth Tele, gorgeous figured maple cap over mahogany body, with SD Tele Antiquities. The LP style body in Tele format adds a certain versatility and richness, plus killer sustain.

This is gonna be a good one

So gorgeous !!!!!!

wow!!! i love it ... not only it looks amazing ... but it sounds pretty good .... wow .... great !!!!

Love it! I built my own Troublemaker partscaster, feeling (well, I menat looking like) more Gibsony as I used a mahogany neck from a Les paul model. A nice guitar for sure. Thanks!

Sounds good.

You’ve improved your playing mate 👍

Austin, Your playing is coming along and your Voiceing will start to come through😉

Damn , that's some great tone

I came for the tele, and stayed for the copyright free rendition of Lateralus

That thing screams Doom/Stoner metal. I need one

Awesome sound, what over/distor are You using at the end of the vídeo?

I they did have a carved top Tele the “Special Edition FMT”... it was odd as it came with black chrome hardware (not the same as black) and it did have two humbuckers, but only master volume and tone with a switch... more like a PRS style as the knobs were slightly inset into the top. The Black Cherry Burst was a cool color.

Based on looks alone, I wouldn’t be the least bit interested but the tones you got out of that thing were just delicious. It retains some of the sparkly, chiming sound typical of Fenders but with greater warmth and thickness especially in the midrange. I think the combination sounds absolutely gorgeous and would be very gratifying to play.

Yay Fender Monday!!!

i love it! Great review. IMHO, it would look even sexier without that scratch plate & different knobs. I'm a bit of a trouble-maker myself, so I dig it.

Thanks for this great content. Any idea if the pickup is splittable?

Man that is great looking guitar and sounds good too I like it.

also seems to incorporate some elements of the 80s Elite Telecasters, especially that style pickguard and electronics lay out (different pickups though)

People didn't know what to make of these in the 70s and they've been mostly ignored since, but since about 2005 people are starting to figure them out. I have 20 guitars some in the five digits and my '75 Tele Deluxe is probably my favorite. I love the sound and feel, not so much the looks, and wish I could put this pickguard on the one I already have.

nice playing on that one, Trogly- cute guitar

I love this thing; how cool. Thanks to the guy who supplied it and to you for showing it to us. That scratch plate has got to go, lol. And speed knobs would be an upgrade.

That’s awesome
