And I thought Telecasters were NOT for me

[@le_th_]

This video is useful but also hilarious! The fact that I watched it at 1.5 speed may have added to the hilarity a bit. You didn't just make friends with a tele, you bonded like soulmates. It's almost like your friend was just sort of casually dating the person you knew you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, and you were just hoping and waiting for him to lose interest so you could swoop in and profess your love. ; ) I can't remember the last time I saw someone so happy to play a classic guitar, or at least someone who wasn't 70 years old.

[@hkguitar1984]

Sounds great, the Fender Broadcaster was the very first Fender guitar. Broadcaster pickups are basically repurposed steel slide guitar pickups. You should really try and play a Telecaster with Broadcaster control wiring, there is no tone control! Instead the tone control is a blend control used to mix the neck pickup with the Bridge pickup. Enjoy, glad you found your special Telecaster/Broadcaster. 👍

[@antonyfaulkner8649]

Sounds Awesome. I bought a "Dog" Tele. It was a USA 2013 Transparent Red, Maple Neck. I picked it up in the Store (around 2016). The Strings were rusty, the chrome had started to spot tarnish. I asked the store guy why it hadn't sold for 3 years. He thought it was because of the Red Colour, and that it had "weird" pickups. I paid for a new set of D'Addario 9's to put on the guitar just so I could test drive it. Store said they would refund the Strings if I decided to buy. I played it, and was immediately "WOW!!". I offered them a $Low-Ball. They called the manager, he accepted. I still play it now, love the sound. Those "weird" pickups? "Custom Shop Broadcaster" Bridge, "Custom Shop Twisted Tele" Neck. Best Tele Pickups ever made.

[@crazywisdom2]

That tele. That sound .. you sound amazing. Love this. You need to make an Instrumental album !!

[@Lalairu]

The tele gradually became my fav guitar. I have modded mine to be a bit more versatile (SD SH1 neck-hot rail middle-baja tele pup for bridge), but the classic and the Custom 72 with the wide range in the neck are my total favs. The bridge pickup can't be compared to anything else and it pairs wonderfully with all pickup you can imagine.

[@glenlapwing8468]

And tele’s are a breeze to maintain, been playing them since 1966!

[@homegrownson]

I just built a Telecaster that has that Magic you dream about, but it took me 2 years of selecting everything from hardware to paint scheme. designing the tone by materials & parts used, I went Mahogany to get a slightly darker tone, a Seymour Duncan Broadcaster Bridge and a Monty's Danish Pete DP51 Neck pick up, Locke Custom 78 Birdseye Maple Neck with Ebony Fretboard, MOP Dot inlays with a Wolfgang Profile into Schaller DaVinci Tuners, Fender LSR Roller Nut, Babciz Bridge and Alligator Pickguard in a Wicked Pearl Paint job. Guitar Growls, will try to get a sample online soon, but fighting cancer and just finished Chemo before surgery on 16th. Seems like Tele is perfect fit for you

[@glenclarkchidley3637]

Ha… I always hated everything about every Fender Tele/ tele stye any brand. Like you, they never felt right or sounded right in my Neanderthal brain. When the pandemic shut down the local watering holes I found myself watching too much youtube and I kept seeing this budget guitar brand Glarry. I thought 💭 what kind of crap do you get for $89 shipped to your door. When the postman unceremoniously dumped the box on my driveway with an audible thud I was positive I was sending it back the next day. Man was I surprised it survived the shipping considering the single box looked like it spent time with Ace Ventura pet detective. Wasn’t even sure there was a guitar inside, it was so lite. Opened the box and everything was as it should be. At that moment I felt this weird attachment to this ugly Tele that survived the USPS. Sure it had some flaws but for $89 what could I expect. Spent a couple hours setting up, filling fret ends, rolling the finger board, add a bone nut and roller string trees I had that I bought from the wish catalog ( to see the quality). When all was said and done I had this remarkable lightweight (under 6lbs) instrument that I didn’t hate and sounds good (to me) Way different than my Strat, LP, 335 etc… I drag this thing around everywhere behind the seat of my old pickup truck and a battery powered Blackstar SuperFly. My playing has gotten so much better because I can take it out and play with it whenever wherever ( at 60 yrs it’s my other option). I easily play 2 hours a day now. Show up to the job early and jam to whatever is playing on the trucks radio, at lunch, at the beach on the weekends… All because of a guitar style I never liked and found visually unpleasant. I guess my point is that just playing any type guitar is good for the soul. Enjoy your Videos

[@VladCotrus]

My story with my Nocaster is almost the same as yours. I played it a long time ago and when the guy decided to sell it, I bought it. Even though I almost bailed out of getting it because it was such a step up pricewise for me that I was 100% I couldn't afford it. But I got it. Never selling it.

I found an offset tele with roasted maple neck, brass saddles, locking tuners and a p90-sized jazzmaster pickup in the neck. By far my favorite guitar.

[@jamestillman5247]

I have a limited edition channelbound tele with the same pickups and compensated saddles and it absolutely slays.

I will be buried with mine

[@csharp57]

I finally picked up a tele after years of being an on and off guitarist. Wow. My main guitars I played were my Strat and LP. I took a chance and picked up a 335 copy (epiphone) thinking I was done buying guitars. Then I stumbled across the Fender Telecaster Professional II. And while it needs a bit of TLC from my go to tech, I can’t believe I waited this long to own one

[@dslrrookie6808]

So I played a Les Paul for about 12 years or so until I tried a Tele. I picked up a Mexican Nashville Tele and everything changed. Over the years upgraded to a US standard Tele with the CS Twisted Tele and Broadcaster pickups and it’s perfect! Would be really interested in what rig you are running it through and how you get your gain sound (amp / pedals?). Sounds superb and your playing is juicy. Love it.

[@jeffpagel8178]

I ADORE my Baja Telecaster! Especially the parallel/phase options with the pickups! I added brass compensated saddles for a better intonation & stability, installed a Tusq nut, locking tuners, & it is amazing! The only issue I had, was the fretboard would never go straight! So I got it as close as I could, then did a fret leveling, crowning & polishing. It was a bit of effort & I was scared, but now the action is exactly where I want it, & the sound is already incredible. I don't think I'll ever part with it. That silly old guitar grew on me like no other could. ❤️❤️❤️

[@joshjenkinson1929]

I think that the guitars that speak to you aren’t a particular type of guitar. I think they’re particularly good guitars. Meaning resonant or alive with sound. There’s no energy lost from the strings vibration. The wood works together in a rare way to exacerbate the acoustic properties of it. Which of course translates through the pickups.

The telecaster was originally called the Broadcaster,but there was a copyright issue,as I think Gresch already had a guitar called Broadcaster.So if the guitar you have is based say 1950,broadcasters would of been there then hence the Broadcaster pickup. Bruce Springsteen plays a Broadcaster,I think they only had 1 pickup.

Had a few close calls w/Baja Tele’s, before deciding that I wanted a big neck on a 69 Thinline body, and built my own. Squier CV mahogany, 1.75” BGP 54 profile neck, Wilde microcoils, 4-way switch, Gotoh cutdown bridge. Finishing touch was a Piezo One saddle set and a stereo output jack. Done.

I have made a few over the years and the last one I'll ever need or play I made during the pandemic from Warmoth body and neck, components of my choosing and hand wound pickups that blow away anything Fender sells.
