Beautiful playing, Jason. Yours is a channel that draws me in for its content as well as the the music. When I hear someone play as effortlessly as you I think man, I can do that too. And then I pick up my guitar 😬 Whatever, you are a great inspiratio to improve. And coming from American Folk and Indie I love Jason Isbell so this guitar is also interesting in its own right. Thanks again. Zs

Beautiful Tele and playing as always. Love the mods you’ve made to it. I also had to exchange a Vintera II 60’s Tele for a replacement recently due to some production issues.

Thank you! I think this was more that it had got damaged on the shop floor tbh, the rest of the guitar was great!

Hi Jason! First off, That's some good playing! Also I agree with you. I'm not a Jason Isbell fan, but I do like this Tele. I would change everything you did. Maybe put on the Fender F neck plate. I would also get compensated saddles, but with a top loading option.I would also get a bone nut put in.Yes, I also would put on a black Top Hat knob.

@@JasonWharton82I had an issue with a high or uneven fret that caused some noticable buzzing when I would fret the third and fourth strings from the first fret to maybe the fourth, but all it took was a little leveling of the frets and it's played like a dream ever since, the isbell tele has always been tied for my favorite tele next to the jimmy page dragon tele, I've had tons of teles, American professional II, 90s USA standards, American specials, MIJ ones and still the isbell and dragon tele have them beat every day of the week

I'm not into relic, or 7-1/4", but besides those things, it's a nice looking Tele.

I was wondering about the back of the neck..ok you sanded it. Ihe personalization of the signature model? I kind of like it. It isnt redicously to far with personification at all. The bridge plate is sound (it still folds up along the side all the way to the pickup). It is a bit redicoulous the string spacing flaw at the nut. That nut will just simply need to be replaced. The radius is too much for me ..the Fender Jason Isbell presentation states it as a strat specc thing of sorts. I too though would consider purchasing another guitar of the same. I dont own one i do very much like what i see i intend to buy one New despite the rising price. I think the rising price is a sighn of the times. I have a MIM Cyclone. Not without its faults. (I needed to scootch the neck towasds the bridge so i could intonate the sadles in without runing into the mounting screws. Vintage Strat type bridge thing and those screws the bridge pivots up on...they were in the way of moving thestring saddles...had to remedy this somehow) Other than this MIM?! not bad. Like the Jason Isbell tele it seems you do to. Good vidieo. Good guitar. Yours truley jim

Thanks Jim, I always think that the artists with sig models would probably get a kick out of people taking their guitar and tweaking it even more for themselves.

@jasonswitzer1748 6 ай бұрын

This is by far my favorite looking Tele. My only gripe is the 7.5 radius neck. Maybe Warmoth to the rescue with a 9.5 or even a 12 radius neck?

@JasonWharton82 6 ай бұрын

I think if the radius was that much of an issue that you would want to swap the neck I’d be looking for something else.

@jasonswitzer1748 6 ай бұрын

@@JasonWharton82 Agreed. I just found out that Fender made an American Original 1960s Tele, which is damn near exactly what I’m looking for. Unfortunately it was discontinued. The hunt for a used copy begins…

@JasonWharton82 6 ай бұрын

Yeah the American original is cool, if you can track down a used one they are well worth the money!

Don’t stress about the 7.25 rad neck it’s fine and plays well.

Why your neck is sanded with hard edges ? Mine looks quite natural and or did you do it yourself ?

Too much money for a MIM tele' I did buy used one and ended up getting rid of it' my 50's Baja tele is the best MIM tele I've ever owned/played.

It’s a tough sell with the price increases for sure, it was a decent price in the UK when it first came out but much harder to justify now.

@garyatkins4479 2 ай бұрын

It’s like 2400 in Canada , if you had to re sell it here you would not get 1200 .. mim don’t hold value no matter how good it is

Yeah bit of a steep price hike right? It wasn’t quite as high of a hike in the UK and it seems to go on sale for less fairly regularly but yeah, that’s a lot to pay for one.

You’re full of it. At no point in the prison this instrument was it ever $999. Hell, the Brad Paisley Telecaster came out in 2017, which was several years before the Isbell Telecaster, and it was $1,125 brand new(I still have my receipt and bought the week it was introduced). The Jason Isbell Telecaster is now and always has been more expensive than the Brad Paisley Telecaster.
