nice job BTW you have the cutest fiddle player

[@patfair0409]

Nashville native turned midwesterner for graduate school here, but man do I hope I win this thing! Dave and Bohlinger are both awesome humans, and this Tele is killer. Great video!

[@mikeseager2399]

MAGNIFICENT John! Cool cool cool vibe! Jumping blues boppin along with Pride & Joy! Great fiddle and rhythm section!

[@glendoggett9670]

I just installed a VegaTrem VT2nd and HipShot open gear locking tuners with butterbean knobs! Great additions to a Tele! Nice job with that one!

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Duuuval native who’s been to Nashville for 18 hours once. This is a cool video.

[@jeffanderson8384]

My first DIY guitar was a stewmac parts tele. Love that thing. It is the perfect platform for a frankintele.

[@willowmusic5]

Setup took more time than assembly. I think attention to detail is the secret ingredient. The performance with the band is great!

[@G-Point-EU-AU]

Initial assembly is just the first part of building a guitar-to see if it is all going together. Then, it starts a much longer and complex part of a detailed step-by-step setup. Hundreds of nuances to check, adjust, balance, etc.

[@GuitarCPA]

I love a 6 barrel bridge. Have a 90s mim tele with one. Great feel

[@lesliemckay2506]

Awesome sounding Tele

[@marknason4572]

What a wild arm on that VegaTrem! Thanks for sharing the build video. Would have liked to have heard more about the specs and assembly (but I'm a nerd like that).

[@DavidJosephBoth]

At first i thought that was going to look terrible (because of the trem). That VegaTrem bridge is actually classy and the only time a tele looked better with the trem. I thought it was gonna ruin a nice spec list with Lollar's and Hipshot's (basically a splurge build). Looks nice and that innovation blew my mind (no heavy altering your tele). You just run springs through the string ferule holes? The simple genius thing is right there in front of the eyes. I assume you can deck it if you tighten them enough, and the string are somehow loaded either through those springs or the the actual bridge somehow. Looks classic tele enough to rip "tulsa time" for sure.

[@officialWWM]

The string load from the top and yes, you can tighten the screws to deck it or loosen them to bend a half step up. Very clever design :)

[@PerAliaPorcem]

Tulsa Time, love it! Had to rewind to see that dive bomb, haha. Bohlinger is always so cool to watch. Cross my fingers 🤞🏻, hope I win it since I’m in the market for twangy T-style!

[@Dave-rk2nl]

he's a great player

[@kcliveandlocal]

Who Won!

[@truce11]

Should do series of folks submitting videos of doing guitar mods showing off cool tastefully clever builds for their function and vibe. It'll be fresh content.

[@richardnagamitsu1582]

Sounds awesome. John always sounds awesome. I hope I win.

[@michaeldutill9921]

Wow awesome Johnny

[@darkenthedoor]

Great video John!!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@arielista]

Man I see you move that trem almost effortlessly. The one I installed is bit stiff, any recommendations. Thanks

[@CROONERSTONE]

Big John B. Is the man. 🎩😎

[@mikeblue385]

tele with a trem. be still my beating heart.

[@ardiris2715]

Great video! All PG youtubers would do well with the occasional live performance. (:

[@premierguitar]

So true!

[@jakeryanshepard]

SWEET !

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Oh hell yeah!

[@ShawnPuryear]

Please tell me PG is doing a rig rundown of Chris Buck in Nashville on July 15 at basement east!

[@premierguitar]

It’s true!

[@robertconnolly4981]

Very nice, John!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you like it!

That appears to be a great T - close second to a Brent Bender. :)

[@cedarbay3994]

Was John’s mic even on? 😮

[@jconner3891]

He plays very intense

[@yungstaben7675]

How are you using that Battalion bass preamp with your rig??

[@mattnorman4007]

Nashville tele with no middle pickup?

[@musicman1976]

Sounds Great 🎸 🎶 ❤️

[@premierguitar]

Rock on!

[@matta.4816]

What model was the valvetrain amp? Sounded great!!

[@johnbohlinger]

It’s a little 10 W with a 10 inch speaker. I love that thing. I have three Valve Train Amps and they’re all great.

[@matta.4816]

I’ll definitely have to check one out. Thanks!

[@reddeckreallywins]

My question is….why are the body and neck from a Mexican Fender tele and not the Stew Mac kit they say it is and advertise? I followed the link and you can’t buy a fender branded kit.

[@reddeckreallywins]

@@premierguitar Ah. But those aren’t the links you shared in the video. Made it seem like you used a stew Mac kit when you didn’t. In fact, in the video you say nothing about buying Fender parts from Stew Mac, but reference their kit.

[@Cmunic8]

yup

It sounds like the VT doesn’t do much at all 🤔

Bobby Blackburn. Great player.

little outta tune but that's an awesome geetar

[@ChicagoBulls1984]

Strings need some time to adjust!

[@drewcaster]

@@ChicagoBulls1984 yep! That trem is probably stretching them pretty good. I play out of tune most of the time anyway lol

[@ChicagoBulls1984]

@drewcaster I play out of tune so I have an excuse why it sounds like sh;t

[@G-Point-EU-AU]

Guitars are a little bit out of tune. Why do they sound like guitars !!!

[@immyownbestfriend9338]

can’t take any musician serious that rolls their gear

[@jonnybeck6723]

How much for dee women?

[@stringlocker]

To be a fender luthier all you need is a screwdriver

[@willowmusic5]

This seems so true!

[@elambassist]

As it was designed

[@stringlocker]

Well actually I had a bigger thought. When you assign the words master builder or luthier to a fender to me its comical. Now if somebody cut down a tree and built a Fender style guitar that would be different. But all their bodies and necks are CNC.

[@stringlocker]

@@elambassist it's true what you say "as it was designed". In the beginning the people working at Gibson were guitar makers. The people working at fender barely knew what a guitar was. That's not to knock anything all I play is fenders. To reset a neck on a Gibson or fix a headstock break a luthier is required. But anybody can screw a fender together

[@mrbuttons1243]

I built my own tele partscaster. Super light swamp ash, installed the frets and painted it myself. Everything came together just right and it's an amazing guitar. If I bought it from the fender custom It would probably cost me $3K or more. Fender is crazy. I couldn't build a Les Paul though.

[@stewarttomkinson3356]

Dang I thought you were going to build it. I don’t want it I’m left-handed

[@seanmurphy26]

I wouldn't be caught dead playing a so-called "Telecaster" with Strat saddles on the bridge in NASHVILLE of all places..!!

[@Faded0811]

Which is exactly why you would never actually play in Nashville.

[@seanmurphy26]

@@Faded0811 totally, and I made the comment before I watched the actual video and those are not Strat saddles, I feel like an idiot..

[@stewarttomkinson3356]

That bridge was invented for telecasters

[@premierguitar]

Bridge/trem was designed for (non-invasive - uses existing holes) on Telecasters & it's all about having fun! John has used it several times and hasnt' been run outta town yet! Here's the product: vegatrem.com/vt2-teletrem-telecaster-tremolo/

[@petermoss208]

@@Faded0811well shows how creative i am, I was about to say the same thing verbatim 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BillyE5150]

I’m sorry, but you overpaid for every part of that thing… the same guitar, possibly even better, could be built for under $300

[@GreatPlanet-c7o]

Get detective work!

[@danizel1]

With modern prices, I doubt it. The most expensive thing is the luthier who put it together

[@SaabJitsu]

Not wrong, but not for the reason you think. You and I would pay nearly 300 for just the Lollar pickups and close to that or more for a real Fender replacement neck. Now John being who he is which is a kick ass player, KZbin king and good human likely has little to nothing in all of it hence the give away.

[@tedkellison2598]

Seriously? The trem is almost $300 by itself!?

[@dc_miller5248]

cool story
