Not necessarily a "Fender Telecaster" alternative, but my Squier Classic Vibe 50"s Tele is on point for half the price of other tele's.

[@rockturtleneck]

Last summer I got a Squier CV 50s Esquire and it's fantastic--only $450. Plays and feels like a much more expensive Fender.

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

@@rockturtleneck I fell the same way about my Tele.

[@mr.astrophysics9115]

The quality is remarkable..

[@jezmez68]

My 2020 CV 50s Tele is EXACTLY like you say. I put a 4-way switch in it, new switchplate/wiring/pots/real Fender knobs, and topped it off with a pink pearloid pickguard (white blonde body color) and it is my favorite guitar. Original pickups are fantastic. $350 new.

[@emlyngriffith5846]

20 years ago I went out to buy a Fender tele and came back with a G&L ASAT Classic. Glad I did. Great guitar 👍🍷

[@markpetten9777]

I still say you need to check out the Godin Radium. Tele body, Les Paul scale, HSH configuration, and has a TUSQ nut for extra Canadian content. Like you I’m a Tele guy and this has quickly become my favourite to play.

[@christopherschlacter4953]

I know its a bit weird, but I cant get past those odd headstocks.

[@Ottophil]

I never understook people who care about headstocks. It could look like a giant dildo and if the guitar rocks, i wouldnt care

[@mralgebro]

Me either man. Headstock is super important

[@iancaspers7731]

i find them beautiful! they grow on you after a while

[@Truminashadepressure]

Me too sheesh, I thought it was just me. They look too modern, they don’t compliment the body design…..

[@TempoDrift1480]

Not at all. I've passed up hundreds of guitars because of a fucked up headstock shape. When you're talking about classic style guitars from the 50's then they should look correct from boots to bonnet. I think it's kinda messed up that you have to pay a premium for a reasonable headstock. I just get the coping saw and sanding block and if it's worth it I'll shape it to look correct.

[@GC-ji3ye]

My butterscotch blonde affinity with a 4 way and Tex mex serves me well. Sure the mods were a hassle but doing on a day off made it part of me. Put the work in and enjoy.

That Schecter PT Special is Fantastic ! My favorite of the group. Set up perfect straight outta the box!

[@michaelmay9059]

I have been shopping T-style guitars for the past 2 months. I was going to originally get a 60s classic vibe but after some research I decided to get a schecter pt special. It arrived last Friday. I'm extremely pleased with its build quality, tone, and overall performance.

[@bartdeclerck6967]

I own a "reverend Pete Anderson eastsider T" and i absolutly love it. My choice from the three featured models would be the G&L

[@rizzexponential]

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Schecter PT for some time. But the last thing I need right now is another guitar. That purple burst with the raw finish looks fantastic.

[@Bflatest]

looks great but I hate binding on necks I think it looks terrible hehe

[@andybungert]

Your timing is eerily perfect on this one. Been casually looking at T style guitars for that Fender Princeton I got recently that I mentioned in your Live Stream the other day. I have been scouring the internet looking for a good used price on a PT Special. I love my Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS (Strat) and want another Schecter!

[@NinjaxCad]

i've got a Schecter PT Fastback IIB, it's their take on a bigsby tele deluxe and can only say nice things about it. does everything i could want and looks cool as hell.

[@larryholland7192]

Great video!!

[@landonbailey]

Thanks for the visit

[@shroompicn-shrooman]

I'd love one I these... I do own a Seagull S6 Cherry body with a Cedar top . It is the first run of these with the old logo on the headstock and the LR Baggs electronics... it's been a faithful axe for almost 20 years.. Great video ✌🍄👍

[@landonbailey]

Right on

[@thseed7]

I love Schecters. Next PT you check out, get a set neck. The contoured heel on mine is what sold me when I played it.

[@valueofnothing2487]

PT special is the best. It has the arm cut, natural wood grain, the P90 - which is bigger and heavier than puny vintage single coils.

[@andrewbecker3700]

The 2 t style guitars I've settled on are both LTDs. '87 Eclipse NT in pearl white and te1000 black blast. The only things the 2 have in common are the body outline and dual humbuckers. Otherwise they're complete opposites. They cost a bit more than some others but you get what you pay for and I wanted guitars that don't need pickup upgrades. The Chapman ML3 pro in Burnt Orange is my current GAS problem. It's on par with what I have or better.

[@Bliggick]

I've got a Godin Stadium '59 guitar which is a T-style guitar with a Seymour Duncan "59 humbucker in the neck. It's a really nice, well made guitar but there is something about it that I don't like but I didn't notice it before I bought it. The way the controls are laid out you actually have to reach over the volume knob to get to the pickup switch and I think this is a poor design that could have been so easily avoided. It really does seem awkward until you get used to it. They also could have added a coilsplit to the humbucker to get a single coil sound in the neck but that could be added later.

[@markpetten9777]

That’s why you need a Radium. HSH with coil splits. My favourite T style. Although I feel like I need the Stadium 59 now.

[@benallmark9671]

I think they're great. Nice and small with a great neck

[@oldmanlearningguitar446]

I had an older Korean made G&L Tribute. Well made but didn’t do much for me. Guy I sold it to got back to me a few days later to say how much he loved it though. My one and only tele is a Paoletti leather series tele bought 2 years ago. Didn’t go into the store to buy it but I didn’t like, at all, the guitar I went to check out and buy. Tried a Silver Sky which I liked and probably would have bought if I had not tried the Paoletti. Love at first strum and it’s still my favourite (and most expensive) guitar. I own 4 Fenders and 3 Squiers but to this day (only been playing 4 years) I never played a Fender Tele until the George Harrison Rosewood tele a few months ago.

[@castleanthrax1833]

I've had my eye on a Schecter Retro series PT Pro. It's a HH tele style in a beautiful quilted blue. Double bound with a roasted maple neck. Quite affordable too (maybe I should say, not too expensive). I love Teles. 🖖

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Excellent choices. I have G&L and Schecter TEle's and love them. Def better than any Mexican Fenders Best Regards

[@DanLacroix]

my favourite tele variation has a double cut, 3 single coils (or a hot rails on the bridge), 1 volume and 2 tone controls, a 5-way switch and a trem that I never use. best tele ever

[@landonbailey]

👍🎸

[@craigvb]

I highly recommend the Shi Jie TVL model. It is a faithful representation of the Fender Telecaster with a bit of a custom-shop vibe to it. I love my TVL and STE (strat model.) They are worth every penny.

[@landonbailey]

🎸👍

[@trailingupwards]

I got a Sire T7. The neck is amazing. It's a great modding platform. The neck looks great, and the body looks pretty good. Throw some new hardware and electronics in it and you got a custom shop level telecaster for $1000.

[@timothyyy1259]

I've got a G&L USA Fullerton guitar and it's pretty much flawless in terms of construction, tone, comfort - everything really. I've my eye on a G&L Tribute ASAT Special purely for the jumbo MFDs, they're amazing. Big Fender fan too

[@landonbailey]

nice!

[@smartmammal9926]

Sire makes awesome Tele-style

[@jonlavigne3270]

You should try an Xaviere. Edit: of the three you showcased, I've only played a G&L Tribute, and it was the Special model with their P90 style pickups. I didn't play it amplified, though. I loved how it felt, and it had a great transparent green finish. I just want to see you try an Xaviere because they're cheap and supposed to punch way above their weight class.

[@ipuya]

I really like the look of the Godin. But for sure my favorite non-fender tele would be a G&L Asat

[@jbf16falcon]

Played the others but what gets loaded on the bus is a Fender Custom Red Mahogany twisted Tele and a Player Plus Nashville with maple fretboard. The others for various reasons for me did not make the cut. For S styles a Fender 60’s Custom I picked up used and a PRS Silver Sky are all I need. On the Teles it is not one thing that keeps me going back to Fender just a whole host of things combined, just feel right.

[@sqidvishus]

Enjoyed hearing some REM. The Godin sounds great and the Schecter comes in purple so how could you go wrong with either? I like the HNIC shirt. I should order me one since they don't really sell them in Texas.

[@lazvt8469]

Got the G&L… neck is chunky and glassy smooth and tone is rich

[@ZitherBeast]

I recently got a custom made Tele style guitar from a little company in Colorado and it's freaking sweet. Birds eye maple neck with an Ebony fretboard, I'm really digging it.

[@landonbailey]

@@ZitherBeast Ooh, I'm interested. Please describe what you bought, specs and all that.

[@jimmyjames2022]

I've watched your deep dives on all three and wondered which one you preferred. Last year I came close to buying the pretty purple PT Special to get the best of both Tele bridge and P-90, but went instead with another slab guitar an LP Special with two P-90s (on a sale) since I love the bridge P-90 tone probably more than I love a Tele bridge tone. I think the PT Special could be awesome with a mini humbucker in the neck so I may yet get one for modding.

[@landonbailey]

🎸👍😊

[@david_davinci]

My first instinct is to say the Godin because I am Canadian and I know they make brilliant guitars. But...I think I would go for the G&L. I have a 2001 G&L Legacy strat that is easily my favourite guitar. But....yes another but...I already have a Fender Deluxe Nashville Tele which I also really love. This is very a complex issue that can really only be solved by owning them ALL!!!

My favourite guitar, too. Obviously. 🙂 Godin makes really nice guitars. I have a beautiful Godin Velocity which I like a lot, so I am tempted to pick the Godin, but I would go for the G&L. I think their guitars are still underrated. My G&L Legacy is a wonderful instrument, and I would love to get my hands on a US-made G&L Tele.

[@landonbailey]

[@upStomp]

I actually traded my Schecter PT Pro for an Epiphone SG Standard '61 and a Strat I'll be turning into a baritone. The Schecter was incredibly well built, but it just wasn't my style. The neck felt too stiff and the pups (American Z's) were definitely more geared toward metal. I'm also a big Tele guy, but I'll stick with my Fenders and custom builds (which will always have Fender MIM necks - I just LOVE them).

[@martinclayton7260]

The SX was louder than the Classic Vibe, but not as loud as the Fender. But...not far behind either. For a fraction of the price. I sold the Fender and the Classic Vibe, and kept the SX. No kidding...try one out. Once theyve been set up properly, they are really decent, giggable, guitars. For under 200 bucks. Put aside your snobbery...and try an SX Vintage Series Tele.

G&L Pups are hotter(!) in person. They do not chime like a Fender single coil. Make no mistake. Schecter- 14" radius comparted to a Telecaster 9.5 radius. BIG difference, and the neck is super thinner. If you play a Tele now- this thing will wear your hand out. Believe me. I really want a PT Fastback. Lasted 2 days playing out. Big "nope" here. Godin. Hear nothing but good things. Never seen one here in the S/E USA though.

[@DoNotLookDown]

The Godin is $1100? Holy crap that's a price hike. I swear 2 months ago they were around $800. I was thinking of getting one because my Godin Session Strat has the best feeling neck I've ever played and the fret work is amazing. I sold my Player Tele because no matter what I did I kept having fret sprout and found it uncomfortable to play. The Tele body just dug into my body and arm. But the thing never went out of tune. I feel like the Godin's were really good for the money. But idk for $1100. The paint on my Godin Session is fading quickly and the body dents with a light touch but damn is it a dream to play. I'm conflicted.

G&L is now my favourite after fenders multi piece body experience. No longer a new fender fan.
