Best TELECASTER ever? | My Nr.1 Guitar

Yes please would like vids on all your main guitars. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🏻

You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks xD

[@chriskilian2325]

Been playing for 30 years and a metal/rock head at heart since the beginning. Only now in 2020 I finally got myself a tele, a NashT63, and it's the best guitar I ever played. The sound is just beyond words. Can't believe it took me 30 years to discover the telecaster guitar

[@peterkelly8357]

Congratulations Chris. I bought a Nash T63 in 2004, a great guitar with Texas Special pickups.I also have a Nash Strat.

[@CliffDaSikk]

welcome to the tele circle young man, but dont tell the other guiarists, having a good tele is almost like cheating ;)

[@Laayon19]

What is this phenomenon 😂 same story, only it took one little country lick and it turned me and I've been walking this weird country road ever since. The music feels more authentic to the heart is my only explanation.

[@shinjial]

The neck pickup on that guitar is amazing! Often people neglect that position on teles since the bridge has such a distinct sound. But you got amazing sounds out of it.

I’m with you 100%! I had spent most of my years as a strat and les paul kind of guy, until I got my first tele. Man, was I blown away!! Best guitar ever! One day I’ll have my custom shop. :) Great video as always, my friend. Cheers!!

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks a lot André! Teles are special. For us at least. haha!

[@JeremyJames_studio]

Same experience here Andre...bought three teles in quick succession this year

Jeremy James awesome!! I’m gonna do some upgrades on my player series, cause I really love this guitar! Amazingly well built instrument... And then, one day, I plan on buying a CS. 🤘🏻

[@123Ir0nman]

Can't afford custom shop so I built my own and man am I happy with my diy #1 guitar! I even put a Fishman piezo system in mine so I can do the acoustic thing too

[@landonbailey]

9 months for a baby to arrive, sounds about right :). Love it! I’m a huge Tele fan. Just subbed! Cheers

[@zetaminor77]

Thanks for this video! I have to confess that I'm not crazy about how the tele looks, and it was the looks that kept me indecisive with the tele for a while. BUT, it was the TONE of the tele and the variety of tones that could be coaxed out of it that kept bringing me back and finally convinced me to get one. Love your playing and the tones you bring out of your tele, as well as explaining all the cool features behind you tele!

[@brubakersflatcakes9755]

Cool to hear a vintage-style Tele sound so heavy. Sounds amazing.

[@reneebear3641]

they do it really well, the a3 50s style pickups tend to play super well with OD & distortion

[@iloveitall]

I see a lucky man who has found his lifetime companion. I like your guitar, it's very energetic. I myself am lucky the same way with my 91' RG. To me a player is not complete until he finds his very own special guitar, The one that plays effortless, the one that inspires, the one that feels like holding a treasure, the one you talk to and that talks to you. One of the best things in life.

[@boomerbassmeme]

Cool to see you bond with your guitar like that! 😎👍

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

Love it man! Some fab TOP TIPS in your video which i will now do, So thank you. I purchaed a tele 18 years ago, put it in a corner and forgot about it! Then i picked it up 2 weeks ago, de-dusted it.. new strings and now i cant put the dam thing down.. What a fool was i ? There sure is something super special about a Telecaster, Simplicity & yet so many sexy tones. .Congrats on your baby, Sounds awesome!!

[@teedzay]

It’s not the tele it is the guitarist playing the tele that made it the best tele. Cheers! \m/

[@KrisBarocsi]

You’re awesome man, thank you! 💛

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Dude! That riffage at 5:28 is killer! Not really what one would think of as a “Tele type” tone and riff. But dang!! It pulls it off perfectly! Your Tele seems like a jack-of-all-trades Swiss Army knife guitar. Sweet!

[@whiggy]

Kris, you say it's not you or any kind of magic but the truth is... it is you as much as the guitar; the formula is you + your guitar = magic. It's not the just guitar specs. The more stories you write with your guitar, the more you rock it, the more battle scars on both you and the guitar the more magic happens... Don't ever get rid of it and keep doing what you're doing. Love your videos!

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks so much man! I wouldn’t go as far as to call it magic though. Haha. Let’s say my guitar + me = my sound. That would be a huge compliment already. Creating a recognizable sound is something I was always going for. 😅

[@Bstonz85]

I’ve always wanted a sunburst, but the butterscotch blonde looks so good

[@MultiDreamer1979]

After 15 years of playing, I finally found myself worthy of an American built telecaster. I bought a American professional, two telecaster, roasted pine you know what they say. Once you go telecaster, you never go back. Oh boy, was I wrong about the telecaster this thing is an absolute beast! Nice looking telecaster you get by the way, I can see you enjoy it!

[@briano.5746]

As a Tele junkie, I love this! A Tele is a do everything guitar. Just subscribed to the channel!

[@KrisBarocsi]

Cheers Brian, welcome! 🤟

[@tonelok]

Nothing is more badass than big, modern, complex, heavy tones coming from a vintage or really vintage-looking guitar like your tele.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Haha! I never thought of that but I think you might be right. I think you’ll like my Does a Telecaster djent video. 😅

[@TheMjriley5150]

Great guitar, Kris! Congratulations. I know the feeling. I have a CS Strat that I've bonded with in the same way. Enjoy!

[@elderberry-hamster]

Love to hear about your Frankenstrat! That Tele is awesome. Your an inspiration sir. Thanks.

[@howardcunniffe8738]

I remember back between the years 2004 through 2009. My first electric guitar was a Fernandes Nomad Deluxe. A lot of my friends kept getting on my ass to get rid of it and get a real guitar. So I went to a music store and started looking around.Spend 3 hours in the store looking for what would be the right guitar for me. I found this Squier Thin Line Telecaster for $350.00. Played it for over an hour. Loved this sound and bought it. 11 years later, it's still an awsome guitar. Soon after I bought the Tele, the Nomad went back to California where it belongs.

[@spchaledonnj68]

Hi Kris - I am proud to support your channel. Don't let the other people that make strange/weird comments deter you. (Saw that under your Q&A people) I wanted to share with you something I thought you would like; I know have two Fender Telecasters. The first one I bought in 2020 - it is the Mod Shop (not custom shop) that you can order different colors -It is in mystic seafoam green. The latest one I bought for my birthday - It is the Performer Series, now limited colors I bought the Classic White Telecaster (looks like a hint of yellow to me) I love them and also, they have the three-barrel bridge - it is really nice. I do have other guitars Gibson's, Yamaha, etc. but I liked the Telecaster so much I thought it was time for another birthday present - although GAS can be bad for musicians - LOL but we love them. Thanks again Kris.

[@skye7690]

Great vid! 53 Tele keeps coming up on all my searches, maybe its time to get one.

[@KrisBarocsi]

That’s a sign. Just sayin 🤩

[@timsharkey1993]

I also got my first Tele in 2015, after a lifetime of thinking “I should probably get one some day”. A modest MiM Fender Standard. It has now become my favorite electric guitar, too.

[@ArtAlienTV]

The 50s wiring mod is great and saves money buying expensive pickups - Great sounding Tele 👍

[@faethe000]

I'm headed down this same path, exactly. I got a roadworn 50s tele and I fell in love with the guitar so much more than I expected that I'm thinking about a custom shop tele with similar specs.

[@broncoxy]

Teles man, just recently discovered them for me and it does it all for me, I just love it. I want another one already....

Don't set that down anywhere, I think I am in love with that Tele. Cheers from Ohio. Great playing too.

[@seeburg10]

You are an awesome player! And that is one of the nicest Teles I’ve seen or heard. I’m building a Tele right now and may use the 50’s wiring on your recommendation, thanks!

[@frederickthompson8686]

I have to say, the relic'ing is quite well done. Very entertaining segment.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Well it’s “real life - playing live shows relic” so it looks different than artificial relic jobs. I don’t even think it should be called relic. More like playing wear. The only relic Fender did was thr weather checking and some minor dings. Cheers

[@Badonkadonker]

I have one made by a local luthier. Beautiful 1 piece ash body, insane flame maple neck and AAA rosewood board. Slightly hotter pups and the killer stainless steel frets. Man, oh man! It sings, it shouts, it does it all. Go have a Tele people. You WILL NOT regret it! EVER.

[@eddiejr540]

Kris... I may be wrong , but I think these guitars started out as white and they aged to butterscotch...we’re talking back in the 50’s...now they make them butterscotch cuz people love them...great video...I did not know you ordered that tele...great job...rock on my brother!!!!

[@oldmanzen6682]

I believe the Tele is the most versatile guitar. I prefer the tone from a Strat, but I feel you can't get the same variety of tones from a Strat that you can get from a Tele. This is a gorgeous Tele, Kris. Sounds ridiculously good too.

[@BParker55]

I have a 2011 deluxe Tele and it is seriously the most versatile guitar on the planet! I love that thing!

[@Tonetwisters]

Yeh. I like Telecasters. Been playing 62+ years and never owned one! Amazing. Yes, the original Road Worns were fabulous.

[@iPeteStorr]

Really nice video on, probably the best guitar ever. it sounds beautiful and resonant and is a joy forever, thanks.

[@wimplesaur]

The Tele is the guitar that can do it all. I have a ‘90s MIJ which looks and sounds similar, but without so many dings!

[@wimplesaur]

@@fredriksvard2603 really? Is that why it’s used for Rock, Country, Blues, Funk, Metal, Jazz, etc. Much wider range than a Strat or LP. .

[@wimplesaur]

@@fredriksvard2603 one of its sounds is regarded as very distinctive, the Tele twang, using the bridge pickup with the treble rolled up. That’s just one of its sounds. The neck pickup is entirely different.

[@Bogdan-hv8zm]

Oh wow, that's a unique tele! Very nice playing dude. That tone at 5:30 punched me in the face...holy moly...from what song is that?

Great video and playing as always! I just got a Tele for the first time a fews weeks ago. An American Performer with a humbucker in the neck. Used. I haven't touched my other electrics since. I didn't expect to like it this much! So versatile.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Haha! Told ya! :D Jokes aside, teles are far superior than most players think. Have fun with yours! :)

[@assadaligillani2511]

I owned a Ibanez RG370 n used to love, then I got a MIJ Telecaster (same like the one in your video, butterscotch color). N gosh it changed my world. Best guitars EVER.

[@johnwelch557]

Tele's forever. My favorite too along with the strat. Thanks!

[@pauldncn1]

Kris I love that telecaster and after having to sell mine and my strat its jealousy inducing but yours has your tone undoubtedly and I love the way you play so yes for you it’s the best telecaster !

[@asambatyon]

I sometimes feel my tele bridge pickup, a no caster, sounds more like a P-90 than a classic tele bridge one. What I love is that I can get amazing overdriven and distortion sounds out of it. I sometimes even think about converting my tele into a Esquire.

[@sideasoundlab]

Nice tele, great sound too ! Both Pups sound great. Got myself a Broadcaster RI and it quickly became my number 1 guitar too

[@FullMetalGuitar]

I love your videos, man. I'm a Tele man as well although I'm a novice player, I adore my Player Series and CV Custom. Just hearing the sounds from your guitar is beautiful. Please put up more videos about your guitars!

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks man, I will!

[@vladfromoslo2518]

Few days ago I tested a tele in shop here in Oslo and it was this NASH telecaster looking just like the one you play there on the video. It was really something for itself! I am 60 young and have been into many guitars, yet this Nash surprised me to the bonds. Still thinking about it, by it or...but...I do not play that much any more...do some tracks in studio but no more live, so... That one sounds fantastic too!

[@paul38501]

[@francesco0185]

I think you deserve that guitar and a tons of others because your playing is absolutely great. That Telecaster sounds awesome and I like the name of the owner on the metal plate. I just don't understand how come people like relic guitars. Horrible, honestly, because it's the owner that should relic the guitar using it. I have lots of guitars but I'm in love with my Music Man Sabre bass because I've played perhaps two hundred gigs with it. Now it's more (natural) relic than (an artificial) heavy relic and I remember where and when it got every sort of scratch: some are incredible and make me laugh (otherwise I should cry) because sometimes happen very, very strange things playing live music and taking the instrument around. It has a story now. And when I see an instrument with many scratches I ask because I'm curious: hey, tell me why it's so beaten up? The answer: ah, no, it's a just relic finish... So disappointing.

[@BladeDoomer86]

I agree, very strange that ppl pay a premium to get their guitars beat up! 😳 Like pre-torn jeans that cost 150$ 😂 strange indeed

[@oskarileikos]

@@BladeDoomer86 you don't understand... People get reliced guitars because they like the way they look and feel. And don't want to wait decades to achieve it. I think that's reasonable

[@larrypower8659]

@Kev Musicluva. I have never been a fan of relics but there is one true thing about them ~ Because they are Custom Shop made, they are some of the very best instruments Fender builds. I have guitars with thousands of live gigs on them and they look it, too. But as many say, those are all part of my story and those guitars’ journeys. I prefer that and most likely would not buy a relic’d guitar, especially new. But to each his own. It’s the yin and yang, always.

[@BladeDoomer86]

@@oskarileikos i understand, it's just really not my thing.. Those being Custom Shop guits though, I'm sure they are incredible to play.. But, I'd definitely go for a clean looking one.. Opinions opinions!

Really nice video Kris. Great playing, and the guitar is sweet. Great to see your appreciation for a tele!

I fell in love with the tele too. I bought a vintage reissue 64 that is so good I had to have a maple board sister for it so I have one of thw 70th anniversart Broadcasters on the way (not the custom shop version, too rich for my blood). Nothing else seems to be able to get that throaty bite a tele has.

[@djt6546]

If or rather when I move back to adidas HQ Kris, I now know I simply have to bring my latest guitar in for you to play. My Dale Wilson Master Build 60’s Tele with slab board, large C neck, Josefina ‘63 PuP’s. 3 TSB Journeyman finish. I initially got it to see what the fuss about Dale Wilson was all about, knowing I could return it if it was ‘just’ another good guitar... But damn I had to pinch myself and get it independently checked with some serious local US guitar players, and they said well that’s just one of the best Tele’s we’ve ever played. Feels great to come across these gems doesn’t it. To top it off I got lucky with the amount of competition for guitar sales in the US. Not much more than the regular CS pricing. It’s a guitarists paradise over here with the flexibility both in terms of trying/returning and negotiating final purchase price. Plus I currently live in Oregon where there’s no sales tax. Happy days😊 Stay well and keep up the great content. Prost! 🍻

[@nocaster51]

Funny how I've built a smilirar-ish guitar but on a budget. Also Nocaster pickups, a cheap 1kg paulownia body (yes, a slight nosedive), a Squier paranormal C-shaped (not modern) neck w/ narrow-tall frets, and I just love and cherish it beyond words. I also used nitro lacquer but the paulownia body is so fragile it relics even without nitro hehe. I love the video and feel like a tele buddy now.

[@ricmel8008]

Sounds so good, blind test, I could definitely tele that it is a Tele.

[@johncarpenter440]

Would love this to become a series. Always like hearing the stories behind gear. The one I want to hear most about is about the heavily modified Les Paul CM that made a few blink and you missed it appearances in this video. Would be nice to hear about the work you put into it and the challenges you faced. How you went about adding the pickguard and routing the new bridge pickup. And an honest opinion on if it was all worth it. Would have it been better just to grab an Epiphone "Old Glory" to get basically the same thing? Does the personalizing of it make it that much more meaningful or special to you? I guess the video kinda makes itself lol.
