Pete, you’ve got a great boss and he hit an absolute home run adding you to the team!

[@waynekelly11]

Pete. Just picked up a 95 telecaster totally based on the neck. No serial backup, but f*ck it. It feels brilliant

[@Online_Lawyer_UK]

I've got a midnight blue (purple-ish) telecaster with a sparkle in the finish. It's AMAZING! I have my favourite guitarists like Frusciante and JM. But Pete, you inspire me to pick up the guitar more than anyone! Love this video and you really were meant to have this guitar, it's a brilliant story. Love you Pete, Andertons videos are 100 times better with you on board the team and we are blessed to see you play/test all these guitars and gear. Thank you so much for being amazing and inspiring me and so many others to play and try be the best player I can be. And for all the little tips you give us all along the way. Thanks man!

[@kevinmorris7722]

I'll say Pete's purple tele sounds great because Pete loves playing it.

[@davej3736]

Well, everything Pete plays sounds great...I could hand Pete a guitar that I think is rubbish because I can't get a decent drop D riff out of it...and he would casually and effortlessly knock Papa Roachs' "Last Resort" out of the park 😎...that's just Pete.

[@Starlight_Akira]

:')

[@bsjeffrey]

purple is the best sounding color

[@DudeMcGuybro]

Undisputed fact.

[@Geographus666]

But red makes you play faster!

[@RufusWhite]

I started playing guitar around 5 months ago, and had my heart set on a purple Schecter for my first electric. My friend who inspired me to pick up the guitar in the first place told me no - don’t spend so much on your first guitar, so together we looked at what was available. Purple and orange have always been my colours, so I knew the guitar had to be purple, that was my only requirement. We found the purple 60’s vibes squires you guys had, and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love. Since getting it, I’ve had the pickguard swapped out for a psychadelic purple/orange custom one, and even though it’s my first guitar, I hear what you’re saying about having a guitar that you connect with. It feels like it could only be my guitar, and because of that I’m inspired every day to pick it up and play it. So, thankyou, Pete, for being the reason why I have my perfect purple guitar - even though I have notoriously bad GAS, I haven’t had any inclination to get anything else, how can you improve on perfection?

[@ry7hym]

love to hear that. this sounds like the guitar you're gonna keep your whole life

[@mikeyoung6351]

You think that's a good guitar, wait till you been playing for 20 years, the world is endless. Ibanez Prestige is my go to.

[@tedstryker7965]

Welcome to the Phoenix Suns color code!

[@maxs.3238]

The classic vibes are such good guitars, with a few mods they can last you a lifetime. I've got both the 50s tele and strat, bought them a few years back and still love them both

[@wizrom3046]

I had a purple Schecter but the doctor gave me some pills, and I stopped wiping so rough and it cleared up

[@Mindartcreativity]

Man, that‘s a lovely story. If your entourage is that nice to you, cares about you and gets you your absolute dream guitar BEHIND your back, then you are truly a lovely human being to be around, Pete! So glad you are part of the Anderton‘s team. You add so much to the videos and I‘m sure also behind the scenes.

[@ssevegeta]

For all the lefties out there I would like to offer a sincere thank you. We are typically forgotten by many guitar makers as unimportant when all they need to do is make limited runs like you are doing. Once again, thanks to Danish Pete for thinking of us

[@beaumas]

I absolutely love that Andertons made these guitars accessible for everyone, instead of just saying you can only have an expensive custom shop or nothing. The wonderful people of Andertons are true musicians.

[@tusharjamwal]

it's also a good business decision! there are always more buyers at lower price points.

[@beaumas]

@@tusharjamwal definitely!!! I can't afford a custom shop, but I can definitely afford a bullet or a classic vibe.

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

I’ve heard the story but had to watch again. This story is just pure joy and happiness. Your wife, kids (and Lee) are all amazing. Cheers Pete.

[@RS2KR]

Pete, you and the rest of the Andertons crew inspired me to pickup the guitar after 10 years of being away from it. The limited runs are great and I’m happy to say I’ve purchased a few over the years. Thank you for all the great content. You guys are an inspiration to so many of us across the world.

[@entertainmentluke]

I’m very fortunate to own one of the custom shop copies of Pete’s Telecaster, and it’s easily my favourite guitar. It plays and sounds fantastic. I can only dream of playing as well as Pete, but I have a guitar that’s a pleasure to play every day, and inspires me to keep improving. Thanks Andersons for making this wonderful unique spec available!

[@procrastinationoctopus3233]

Something I appreciate about Andertons videos and the purple tele is how genuinely you seem to like it, I watched a few videos where a guest comes over and you guys go "no wait, you gotta try this thing"

[@kingfishercomputing9497]

Laughing & crying at the same time at your birthday story Pete! So happy that you are doing something that you love and are so good at - I’ve been trying to learn for many years, but just don’t seem to have your natural ‘knack’ 😢. Keep on doing that thing you do man.

[@WTF-WithTheFlow]

“The guitar chooses the player.” As time goes on, I believe this more and more.

[@BreadandFaxes]

It really does happen. I had been pining after a PRS S2 Vela for years but couldn't afford it. As soon as I could, I bought one sight unseen from Sweetwater. It is hands down my favorite guitar I've ever owned or played. Out of the box it was perfect. It had only been built a few weeks before shipping to me. Its just a very musical, great sounding guitar.

[@robmaddison8645]

As the marketing man says. That's how I turn a blind eye to my GAS.

[@roddyrobertson5393]

Telecasters can be so underrated, there's something special about a great Tele the way it will ring when played acoustically, the feel of the neck and just a pure slab of ash which will absorb and spread out those vibes evenly and rounded. Even Les Paul diehards if you play enough Tele's you will find one that will be hard to walk away from then you will know! Great video as always. 😊

[@elliotgreen987]

No doubt it's a great guitar but I feel like a large amount of the magic is that it's being played by a professional guitarist through really expensive pedals into really high end amps turned up louder than most of us are able to play in a non-band situation

[@russellperry8635]

I’m pretty sure if I had a chance to play Pete’s guitar, I would sound as crappy as ever :)

[@Lagmire]

He’s used this guitar to demo countless budget level items of gear, digital modelling through a sound desk etc. it always sounds great. Gear be damned, it’s 100% the player. Tone is in the fingers.

[@GormGear]

@@Lagmire Tone is in the balls

[@baabaabaa2293]

Ha! Yeah ld still sound like me!! But pick up 5 different guitars & one will stand out from ur pov...it'll ring different or wotever, but there'll be something you like about it.

[@Squall6575]

@@GormGear youre thinking of pee

[@MichaelRoberts-ru1rw]

You’ve really got the feels in your playing Pete. Never stop. Never change. Outstanding.

[@DudeMcGuybro]

I have the purple mischief maker from Andertons, and it's by faaar my favorite guitar to play. I've had it for a little over a year now. Came perfect out of the box, in tune and everything. Set up, intonation were perfect for my liking.

[@Joe_SG]

Nice to hear the story Pete. I've got my purple Squier classic vibe telecaster that I bought from Andertons at a local guitar builders at the moment (MAL guitars in Shropshire). I'm having a flamed roasted maple neck with ebony board built for it, swapping out the hardware for Nickel and have bought a set of your Montys pickups from Andertons to go in it. My daughter Frankie loves purple and this will become her Frankiecaster . It's going to be a beauty!

[@arlo12345678910]

Thats awesome Joe! Frankie'll "b" jammin on her Frankiecaster!!

[@alexandertheguitarist]

Wholesome :))

[@Civilian2.0]

That sounds great, but it sounds like you're replacing everything apart from the body, which leaves you with a very inexpensive body, but a lot of money spent on everything else - I think you might as well spend extra on the body too - I'd love to hear if you have a reason for doing this.

[@Joe_SG]

@@Civilian2.0 simple answer is Andertons and Fender nailed the colour on the guitar, she loves it and so do I. I’ve had her name engraved on the neck plate too. It will be a quality guitar when it’s finished, we’re excited to see how it turns out. And don’t get me wrong, it was great when it came out of the box, we just wanted to build it to be more personal 😊

[@Civilian2.0]

@@Joe_SG That's a brilliant story, and , yeah , spraying a guitar that colour would a real pain! I didn't mean any offence, I hope the guitar turns out great.

[@georgeallen6312]

One thing i love on the Anderton's vids is you guys aren't just selling the gear. Your involved with your audience and the gear and present it in a way that we know to love.

[@landonwolfe5193]

I've been waiting for this video for so long. This guitar is truly iconic and the man who owns it is truly an immaculate player. Would truly love to jam sometime.

[@REKlaus]

I'm old enough to be your father and I have gotten to like your playing very much. It is always so tasteful and never sacrifices taste and melodicy for speed. Keep up the great playing.

[@toms5951]

Joe Bonamassa once said "When you find the right Telecaster, you can rule the world". You've definitely found that one Telecaster.

[@TELarkin61]

I love stories like this. Good idea to tell it, and nicely done as well. Thanks for this one!

[@Kempinos2137]

This "surprise" factor when you finally got it adds even more value to this instrument. Unreal player & guitar combo! I think, that this Tele changed guitar world a bit, not only with the purple stuff but twisted tele neck and nocaster brigde are now a gold standard for great tone.

[@jarlaiti]

I really like these Andertons videos since the time when Pete has joined with Lee doing these product demos. Pete is such a nice and positive spirit guy! So keep on rocking and sending these marvellous videos! Petes brillant playing is often demonstrating what the product will show case in most of us guitar nerds.

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Love this Pete . I have had a similar expierence with a couple basses over the years . I can tell even over the internet ,that thing is great .Not to mention how you can tell when A player is playing his #1 that he has truly connected with . Yes would love more of this style of video .Thanks man .

[@willtato8778]

I remember hearing this story many years ago. I was so happy for Pete.

[@mikec3454]

Amazing Telecaster and incredible story! I only discovered this channel a few months ago and I love the content - everyone on it seems super friendly and passionate about music. Keep up the great work, Pete!

[@brendanmcinerney2453]

That’s one of the sweetest guitars I’ve ever heard, I love my Tele. Never been much for purple but strangely now I am

[@alanw559]

When the video announcing the arrival of the Classic Vibe Purple Teles came out, I felt obliged to do a 'What, no lefties' comment (it's at the top of the comments) Imagine my surprise when I had a reply!!!! 😳 Even more that you'd ordered a stack of lefties. I preordered (then cancelled when they were late, but knew I'd end up getting one, if only to support Andertons for doing something for lefties) It came yesterday, very cool, good weight, very pleased. (My wife thinks it's hideous 🤣) Every time I look it I'm reminded of this story! Awesome to see your enthusiasm and joy with it Pete. Kudos.

[@RastaLlama]

You’re a wonderful guy Pete and a wonderful player. I don’t know how many tasty licks I’ve stolen from you, but u have an incredible feel and character to your playing that is just as commendable an unreplicatable. Thanks for all your work with Andertons 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@garethsigrist8714]

I’ve been watching the Andersons videos since Chappers first said he was going to be working with them so I’m very familiar with the story of Pete’s purple Tele but always love hearing it and hearing about it. What a magical instrument! Definitely keep these What is it About… videos coming please!

[@ToddTheJoker]

Hey Pete! I am in Canada and one of our main music stores is Long and McQuade and they currently sell a Squier Classic Vibe FSR Purple telecaster that looks just like the O.G. tele minus all of the relicing. Your guitar is a Global Phenomenon! be proud but also, one of your fellow countrymen has had a purple drum kit for a long time as well. Ever hear of Lars Ulrich from a little band called Metallica?..lol.maybe it's a Danish thing but purple is a badass color!

[@EnglishVeteran]

It’s always a great story and I still enjoy hearing it again. Nice one Pete!

[@Remsterdam]

Love this story, great that you did a vid about it. It’s also an example that doing good things and being a nice person have a way of coming back to you.

[@jonasverbelen8654]

I had a same experience with a partscaster strat i bought at my local second hand music shop (where I work as a setup guy/luthier now) a VERY worn reliced fiesta red strat with a custom shop v neck and texas special pickups in it. Bought it for about 450 euros. I was pretty broke at the time so I borrowed the money from my mom who knew i really had to get it, and so i did. It plays most other guitars out of the water, it's got such a charm and feel about it... Plus it has a Fender branded bottle opener on it! I've been playing it for years. Huge thanks to my mom for the help at the time.

[@jamesmaloney8191]

I remember you telling the story of that guitar years ago, and I’m right there with ya, purple teles just have a super unique and cool vibe. And because of you and that guitar, I bought a purple MiM roadworn tele and it’s my favorite guitar of all time

[@johnwelch557]

Lee and Pete sre the heart and sole of Andertons. My 2003 blond Telecaster Affinity is my soul in music. Over 200 recordings so far. I wore out the frets twice. Picked up a Fender licenced Might Mite tele neck. Exactly the same neck and frets. I'll need a re-fret soon. I looked at 3 Fenders that day in 2003. They just could not match the Squire for bold Tele sound. My other 50+ guitars are terrific, but this tele just speaks. Thanks for the love story. And thank Lee for all of us! 🧡

[@ckelly5141]

Instant guitar 🎸 connection! Now that’s the kind of musical gratification we can all live with! I mean, think of the search time saved. Everyone else can only hope they have the same experience some day soon.

[@YouBazinga]

This intro song really helped me, as it was the first one I learned to record layered tracks on my new looper pedal. Thanks a lot for the inspiration Pete, you rock!

[@PhilTaylorGuitar]

Sounds amazing in Pete's hands and what a wide range of tones he gets.

[@maxbialystock254]

Pete, had a similar experience. My bass player kept telling me I should put down the hard tail strat and play a tele. Went into a store and picked up a random MIM standard cream color with a maple neck. Love at first hold. did not plug it in or tune it just held it like a baby. 2 different sales guys tried to take it from me to ring it up - and I was told I growled at them ( I am a large person, they backed off) the third salesman came up slowly and asked if he could just take the tag. I could not speak but let him. 25 years later and with many mods it is still my favorite guitar and my voice.

[@frankieconcepcion7860]

Love that!

[@nickwalters5380]

That intro was just showing off. No wonder you always look so happy. Excellent. Thanks

[@tjukkv]

It is the blending of the sound of a red tele with that of a blue tele that gives his purple tele it's unique sound.

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

Thanks for sharing this Pete. I ordered a purple Squire Tele from Anderton's and had your signature pickups put in. You and Lee were kind enough to sign the headstock for me. I really enjoy playing it and thank you for inspiring me and helping me learn. Peace.

[@nickwebb9290]

Pete is brilliant and this post is such a wonderful story and explanation about his Tele. Great 👍

[@AC-9883]

I’ve been watching these videos for years and had heard the purple Tele story before and thought I knew everything about it. However, this video has made me realise I’d never heard Pete tell it in his own words. Certainly not in this level of detail. Great idea and looking forward to more

[@AussieCornerStudio]

Pete talk about a kid in a lolly shop top shelf stuff here. We are so happy to see you on the tube. Pete and the Purple Telly and of course that talent. Cheers from Australia.

[@garrygaggles1160]

I followed your story back in the day when you first found her.. Great to have a recap, Pete.. Never had the chance to play a custom shop one, but the Classic Vibe plays GREAT

[@hiimawasteoftime8678]

Petes playing is always amazing. But he has these moments that are just unbelievable. My favourite is the first acoustasonic video the outro jam. His playing in the entirety from the Epiphone specials and juniors video. And this intro playing my god. Pete it's so inspiring thank you

I have a pelham blue nashville telecaster and i love it! this purple telecaster is amazing and thanks for sharing the story behind it!

[@albertplaysguitar]

Man, I resonated with this story so much... I passed on a used tele style G&L. Couldn't stop thinking about it, but I'd made my peace. Of course, it was returned a month later at the exact moment I was just casually jamming at my local GC. Such a sign! I was not going to let it go again! Also, the color thing, I get it! I wasn't looking for a tobacco sunburst with tortoise pickguard.😊

[@joebob344]

I passed on a used Vintera strat recently. It was the smoothest and easiest playing guitar I've ever felt. I swear if I hovered my fingers above the strings it would fret the notes. Lol. But the idiot snobbery in me at the time wanted an American strat so I passed. Went back to get it a week later and it was gone. Lesson learned for sure.

[@albertplaysguitar]

@@joebob344 I must confess the G&L I got is Indonesian! BUT, very similar in quality to my MIM strat... plus it has some cool pickups! Feel us everything, electronics can be upgraded 😣

[@basiljanestevens]

Much respect to Rob as a man (save for the unfortunate dreads era lol), but Pete’s musical sensibilities speak to me infinitely more. Nice to come back to the Andertons channel after years of avoiding their guitar videos to find the old mesa boogie demo guy whipping out gorgeous playing every video.

[@paulsmith6381]

Very Special review. After following you for several Years it’s amazing the impact. I’m back east and was out for a jog Passed a house with several doors and shutters that were purple. The first thing that came to mind was your reviews with the Captain about the purple Telecaster! …. I now have both the Mexican purple Telecaster and Strat ….thanks:)!

[@stevendearden8030]

Lovely insight...great story Pete. Importantly it has made me pick up my much neglected Tele again to explore it's greatness. Perhaps I will fall in love with Tele's all over again.

[@DocOrangutan]

Although not purple, I had exactly the same experience with my second hand Yamaha acoustic. I was trying new acoustics and the shop owner brought it over, it had just been traded in. Played one chord, loved it, bought it, and it has been my workhorse acoustic ever since. It’s a great, although rare experience.
