the squier clearly won this comparison, so you should just give me the rosewood guitar so you don't have to play an inferior guitar.

To be honest watching this video makes me more motivated to learn how to play guitar rather than looking for yet another piece of gear 😂

I've had people tell me that I don't deserve my guitars because they know someone who is a better player. It's never themselves who can play.

Torino Red looks amazing, would love it if Fender took it to the Player or Vintera-series.

I have got to laugh! In December 1982, my band was playing the top club in my hometown of Windsor Ontario, and we were showcasing all kinds of musical equipment for music retailers, who were videoing the gear on stage. One night I used an all-rosewood Fender George Harrison telecaster, which also featured gold plated hardware. I remember thinking 'this is a good as it gets'. And yes, I made sure I did not have a belt with a buckle that night.

Imagine that, the artist it was made for didn't like it. Anyone can find a reason to dislike one or the other. Harrison was probably given that Fender Telecaster too ? Which is an even bigger burn. The GH Rosewood is a beautiful guitar though. Glad that someone can enjoy it. The Sonic is Poplar. I think they're just rebadged Bullets with some Affinity wood & parts used to spec them. Previous Bullets & Affinity are Basswood, the Poplar only showed up post pandemic for higher prices. Give me a Basswood Bullet just the same as a Poplar Sonic. The rest of it is Maple & Indian Laurel for wood species.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also happy first week of November Landon ❤😊

Hey Landon, don't listen to the naysayers. I always find your videos entertaining and I enjoy your sense of humour. Maybe because I'm Canadian.

Love this free style vid

Bought a Squier Torino Red Sonic Tele today. Love at first sight ❤️

The GH has a lot more push and authority when you throw the dirt on it. It really punches out there. I love the look as well. Pure class with that rosewood.

Fender did not prroduce many of the rosewood Tele models.I'm really not sure if they are producing them today. I'm sure you could order one from Fenders custom shop at a pretty steep price. George played his in the famous performance of "Don't Bring Me Down" which I believe was the Beatles last time playing together as a band, along with Billy Preston on electric piano. This must hsve been in the late.fall of 1969 on the rooftop of Apple in north London. Of course the very best Tele you could possibly get today would be the ones custom hand built by that extrodinary luthier De Temple in southetn Cal. Those guitars are awesome players and the tone is to die for. Better not be in a hurry though. Ther's close to a 4 year wait for those babies!!

Will there be left handed guitars?

The Squier is a good beginner's guitar and mod platform, but the Harrison is totally superior in every way. It's like a Rolls Royce compared to a Chrysler.

@Luke It just so happens that I'm a bass player, but you are absolutly right about the comparison between guitars and women. I know that in my case the days would inevitably come when I would be moveing on to a new bass and a new girlfriend / woman. Well, at least I was an excellant player / vocalist when I was young.

Great looking haircut! And thank you for the unfair comparison, finally somebody did it. You did it great.

It's also unfair to compare my Vox AC15C1 with my Mesa Lonestar 2x12. The Vox wins hands down at 1/4 the cost...no joke. Fyi I dig Squires, great for pickup swaps. George should have played the Red Squire on the rooftop to go with his green pants...seriously. Don't worry about haters....they hate George too.

Oh & a Princeton? One of the best combos Fender ever made. Undoubtedly one of the best clean sounds. Then, just run something like a BE Deluxe through it, & you sure do have your clean & dirty sound, covered! Although if you really wanna do it right, run two with an A-B pedal!

Landon is how cockneys say London. Just thought you should know

" your mom " lol

That G H is absolutely gorgeous! Rock on brother. 🤘

The red one was out of tune since you were doing something with it... shoveling maybe? I got a blonde Squire for a hundred bucks years ago. It was actually a serviceable (enough) single coil guitar, especially with reverb and buried in a mix with better guitars. Pickup output was low, but it was still bright like one would expect from a Tele. Maybe six months later I got a Fender James Burton signature Tele on ebay for I think $215, so passed the cheap one on to my son. ....as for the losers who complain about your playing, yeah, they're jealous. They sit around the basement with lots of gear they bough to try to sound like actual musicians. That's what big box retailers want. When I was young and putting together my first band, A friend and I were auditioning drummers. We went to this guy's house and he had a full PA and stage lights set up in his (probably mom's) garage. He wasn't too good while he hit every one of the 12 drums in his kit, so wasn't the guys we got. But he felt like he was playing a stadium, so whatever. I once commented on a video with Hendrix doing an interview, and he was asked who the best guitarist is. He was gracious, as expected, because he didn't need to mouth off. My comment was that as an artist, he wasn't competing with others, because that's not the focus. Two dim bulbs replied that I must suck. I didn't reply to the first one, but by the second one, I was sick of hearing the idiocy. I told him flat out that I've played live in front of crowds in the tens of thousands, was paid pretty well to tour Europe a half dozen times, and have had record deals on three continents. I never heard back. Losers like that are the guys who suck (regardless of how many notes they can jerk off with), and have to squeal to pretend they're men. ...ANYWAY, thanks for your videos. They're fun and informative, not recitals. I'm retired in my late 60s (although I've been invited to play a set at a music festival in May, so I just dragged out a bass and guitar), and love to hear people's perspectives and reviews. Good job, as usual. Keep up the good work.

You tune your guitar with the effects engaged? That doesn't work for me for whatever reason.

That red really pops!

These are both home run hitting guitars, just in different leagues. Pickups sound more refined in the Harry, like a meal with truffle umami. Hardware, electronics, wood, all better. The thing about the Sonic is that it sounds good, plays good, and it is good.

🤣 that was funny,,,good work man

It’s like Rocky vs Apollo creed in guitar land

I'd give my right hand for that George Harrison telecaster an won't even be able to play it

Yeah I like, Right on brother

Seems like the Sonic fared worse for the tuning problem, but so far as guitar sound with dirt on it heard through room mics... well, let's just say they're "functionally similar" enough that it wouldn't have mattered which one you picked to play a gig. Guitarists get too hung up on the sound of a guitar in isolation, when everything between the output jack through pedals to amp to microphone to board to venue PA and buried under all the other instruments in the mix will make the 40x price multiplier pretty pointless. So long as it stays in tune, at least! :)

Awesome video. Has anyone told you that you have a hint of Bill Murray in your delivery? Dry and deadpan humour works well. As for the playing, it's refreshing to me as a struggling player to see someone more aligned to us normal folk. These guitar videos where everyone is freakishly good are not relatable. Keep it up!

I'm suffering from writer's block...........what kind of pants do you wear?

Even if the parts and materials were exactly the same...and let's say the cheaper stuff they use for Asian made guitars, it'd still cost much more for a US made version simply because of the wages American workers get. Even the minimum wage in the US is more than the Asian workers get per hour. You are also paying a portion of the higher price just for the "prestige" of the brand name.

The Telecaster changed how I think of and play guitar. Bought a copperburst mim on a whim after 30 years of nothing but thrashing Ibanez RGs. Now I play all kinds of things and styles, but Teles are my faves. F*ck the haters, just have fun, preferably not with my mom... though you are her type 🤔

Just be yourself dude you rock your cool !!!and you’re Canadian!

The sound for whatever reason is sounding a bit boxy to me, I'm not sure how you are recording the amp for your videos? Perhaps it might be beneficial to use a Universal Audio OX box to bring the best out of the amps and guitars that you review? As for the guitar playing, we all need improvement but since you are running a guitar channel, I don't think it's about practice. It would make sense to get lessons from someone who can mentor your guitar playing through the years and someone that you can build a strong learning relationship with. This way your teacher will push you to explore things you may never even think of and stop you from playing the same shapes and movements on the guitar again and again. Exploring different harmonies on the guitar will also bring out all the nice harmonics and tones in the high end guitars vs the low end ones. So it's a win win situation for your channel to take the positive criticism. I think the fans would love to see you improve and yes f**k the trolls but you have to know that the guitar playing does need improvement. For e.g. I also own that Rosewood tele and let's say ....if you played some lush major 7th chords or other voicings down the neck you can really make that guitar sing and show off the sustain and the vintage pickups. You don't have to be a virtuoso and shred the guitar top to bottom. The guitar is primarily a Rhythm instrument but it's also one of the hardest instruments to learn. A good mentor will take you a long way and do wonders for the confidence as well. Love your channel , I mean well. All the best!
