Checking Out The Nashville Telecaster

[@Luckyrider1958]

Replace this 5 way with a 10 position "Freeway" switch.. you get the 5 positions it already comes with. plus, you get the neck and bridge setting back (in parallel) ... all 3 at once.( in Parallel) ,.. bridge and mid in SERIES (HB tone).. Mid and neck in SERIES (HB tone) and bridge and neck in SERIES (HB tone) ..

I’m having my guitar guy fit a middle pickup to my Squier Tele Classic Vibe which I love so much. He asked me what I wanted, which is the ‘out of phase’ positions 2&4, but also the ‘both Tele pickups’ so he’s fitting a ‘super switch’ to give me everything but ‘only middle pickup’, which is the least used position, so position 3 will be the standard ‘both Tele pickups’ which I mostly use, no push/pull switch needed 👍🏼

[@Paul-D]

Hope it goes well and you like it 🤘

[@ShaunPanzer]

I love the Tele Neck sound and for me it’s the reason to chose a Tele in the first place

[@Paul-D]

Me a few years later understands what you're saying. It's not that common to see a traditional neck tele pickup on a tele ive found, even the customshop 'standard fit' is often twisted tele which isn't traditional tele neck sounding. They always seem to go for that mix of tele bridge and more stratty tone neck

[@Smart-Alex]

I love my 2017 Nashville Tele in Daphne Blue. To me, it definitely does the Tele thing.

[@tomrwills]

I think it should be wired liked a strat with a 5 way but then push/pull to add the neck to the bridge.

[@e.k.izzle32]

Idk how the deluxe is wired but the newer player plus Nashville teles are wired exactly that way.

[@RichardWagner3]

I put in a super switch a Bournes push/ pull pot. Which gives me all three pick ups and the classic neck & bridge tone.

[@RIKSOUNDZ]

How do u install one of them

[@chrisb3976]

Im struggling between getting the Nashville tele or standard tele. While the Nashville Tele has more sound options the standard set up keeps the traditional look. Both are great to hear.

[@Paul-D]

Get the nashville and if you ever want the traditional look its much easier to convert a nashville that already has the pickup route then a traditional one?

[@nostro1001]

Haha... I play "intro" in my classroom for the students from time to time & I have a long loop version they often work to. Oh, and of course I play it one of my acoustics that I keep at work. 😎

[@Paul-D]

Haha nice one do you teach guitar then? I was struggling for an intro so googled intro and was like ahh i remember that track lol

[@nostro1001]

@@Paul-D Just a classroom teacher, don't know schools that have full time guitar teachers - music teachers yes, usually stringed orchestral instruments, maybe some guitar, ukelele etc.

[@TheBamayaker]

I’ve found having both guitars is the best way to go if you can afford it. I’ve built several Nashville tele’s. Tons of options

[@Paul-D]

Having more guitars is usually the best way haha

[@rayfranchi1507]

Funk 49. Love it. To me they sound a little different but still pretty close.

[@wallyodom8254]

3way with push pull for phasing and toggle for middle pickup...I built one 25 years ago and wish I still had it

[@reddieseled]

I totally agree on the tele bridge twang, however I quite like muted jazzy tone of a tele neck over a generic strat sound. Obviously a tone control helps a lot. Having the extra middle pickup does allow for more tones. Although a trem is fun, nearly all of my strats have ended up being decked and that’s a lot of wood chopped out to make room for springs etc.

[@Paul-D]

There does seem to be less teles about in the new models with a more traditional sounding tele neck pickup, so i guess that means fender think most people prefer that haha. Yeh im the same on my strats, id quite like a hardtail strat now tbf

[@barbarasmith3579]

Pauly..I have a strat deluxe but realized it went out of tune when I used the whammy bar, so I blocked it and took the cover off the springs! That noticeably improved my sound,so I said to myself...self, how bout getting a hardtail strat and low and behold that did the trick..there,s my sound!❤ enjoyed your blog!...thanks signed Jerry!

[@paulmckeown5672]

I've seen but not heard these Tele's before so that was an interesting vid cheers

[@Paul-D]

What did you think? Warrents the middle pickup - or just have a strat and a tele haha.

[@paulmckeown5672]

@@Paul-D I think I need to hear it in real life I couldn't quite make out what I assume was position 2 and 4 tones to hear the out of phase tones

[@Paul-D]

@@paulmckeown5672 I left position 2 and 4 out of it. Just did bridge, middle and neck on their own :D

Wait…you demoed a Nashville against a strat, and skipped 2&4??

[@Paul-D]

Cant remember now was ages ago 😅

[@guysurtees]

I was thinking the same thing, surely that’s why you buy a Nashville Tele, to get those 2 options…

[@blockbuster3712]

Where's the riff you play at 2:55 from?

[@larrycavallucci3258]

I have the TELE Deluxe Nashville; I believe these are now selling for about $1,000 and worth it. I also have a regular TELE (The Squier 40th Anniv model---tuners on that one were CRAP on a $600 Gtr). What I did NOT see you do, partially because the camera was too much focused on your left hand, NOT the switch, is to use EITHER of the Diagonal switch setting on the Deluxe, the ones that produce the STRAT sound, and reason why Fender created this model, as to me, it is a GREAT Hybrid guitar. The Switch setting in the 2nd position, namely next to the neck setting, produces a STRAT sound using the neck and middle pickups. The other diagonal switch setting therefore uses the middle and bridge pickups. Doing your homework beforehand would have given you this info. Otherwise a good video, but sorta defeated the purpose of your Video Title. I used to own an American made Strat, 2012 model, and eventually got rid of it when I bought a PRS SE Custom 24. But this past wk, I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ltmd Edition Black Back through Gtr Center at $200 OFF its original price, and for $599 out the door, this Epiphone rivals both of those, my old Strat and the PRS. But you can't compare any Tele with a Les Paul as they are really in two different Gtr categories. After DECADES of buying Gtrs, this is my first Les Paul-type Gtr. I've always been a Fender guy, not Gibson overall because I've mostly played country, but now getting into some Southern Rock stuff, which a Les Paul is better suited. I also LOVE my Nashville Tele.

[@Paul-D]

This guitar didn't have any diagonal settings, it was a straight forward 5 way switch that's where the title bait came from haha.

[@pimhoff]

the new player plus Nashville tele has a pull switch to increase the five way to seven positions

[@Paul-D]

Id take the proper rosewood board over that though personally haha.
